Knocking Out More Monthly Letter Snark

Thanks to aprilp_katje retconning her Liz retcon on being a crazy cat women, the good constable got to pursue his lessons in interpreting Shiimsa’s meowing sounds. The funny thing about this in the Pet monthly letter, is that when I analyzed the meowing sounds, there was an actual conversation taking place. Shiimsa’s first meowing sound is in fact a meow with a question mark. It was very funny. So, for my purposes, I emulated some of those meowing sounds and added a few of my own, plus a hairball.

Jeremy Jones did snark on John’s monthly letter desires for a new car, snark on Elly’s monthly letter describing her bookstore shelves. The last little bit was a humourous notion of having Butterscotch the rabbit participate in an electrified rodent gang that would invade Jeremy’s home. This idea was suggested as a lark to adrianne_P in April's Meta Blog, who gave enough of a positive reaction to the idea to inspire me to go with it.

Howard went to the strip poker party with Grandpa Jim, where he snarked on, not only the strip poker mentioned in the monthly letter, but Iris’ obsession with a recently electrified bunny in the Pets monthly and the numerous sexual double-entendres left blazing through grandpa Jim’s monthly letter.

I am not sure how much monthly letter snark is left. Tomorrow’s strip shows Liz finally getting a clue about something we have complained about in the Foobiverse Journal for months – “Why does Liz still go home, when she has a life outside of her mother’s house?”

I wish the strip had actually shown Liz's interactions with old friends. But I'll kvetch about that at Foobiverse. And Elly finds another excuse to mention the MENOPAUSE THAT WOULDN'T QUIT!

I wish we had seen the interactions also, since they were so much fun last year, and that is pretty much the only time we see Dawn and Shawna-Marie. Dawn was engaged to be married last year, so it is very likely she is married. Shawna-Marie had a steady boyfriend (from whom Liz borrowed her biker clothes) and we don't know about them either. Plus there is the element of Liz's depression that caused her to get very drunk. Was it just seeing her friends have lives that caused her to drink too much, or was it something else? Anthony maybe? Hmm! Oh well. Maybe it will be mentioned in the February letters, since the January one was written pre-party.
