Meowin’ the audience

 Cat fanciers get a two-fer today. When I chose the above cartoon to feature, I was thinking, “The cat people are due one.” Then, I realized today’s newspaper cartoon also features a “dialog” between Ludwig and Arlo that specifically refers to canned catfood. As so many individual comic strips eventually are, the classic strip above is dated somewhat. Today, the can that requires an opener is the oddity; not so much back in 1998. I must say, of all the changes in my lifetime, the easy-opening can is one of the least objectionable. Except when that *&%#$@* little ring breaks off!!
