Hugs for all!
Hey, who would like some good news? We found our missing cat! Three weeks out and someone spotted him from his wanted posters. Nice people actually exist, who knew? My boy is safe and happy at home, finally.

Glad you got your kitty back , hope he wasn't to worse for wear.
Well that was unexpected with Doris in the ship tube . Just wonder how she knew .
You have to watch out for those background characters--you can never tell what they'll do!
Nice work, Doris and Lei!
I wonder if Patience’s end of the communication system got damaged by whatever’s happening down there or if she’s just too distracted by Vee and the malfunctioning submersible to reply.
Patience was very lackadaisical placing the lines, so the heist may have failed even without Verity throwing a spanner in the works.
Judging from the layout of the sub controls, it also might be that Verity fell onto the retract button during the struggle.
What happened to Pemberton's mustache in panel 5?
Doris took that, too. She's going to take away everything Pemberton truly loves.
nothing? its right there
Heh. If your eyes aren't as sharp as when you were young, his mustache looks like an open mouth.
That's actually how I saw it too. Maybe I need to get my eyes checked...or adjust the contrast on my monitor.
I didn't see it until you guys said something but I can see it now
Yes, I definitely saw it as an open mouth. My mistake.
Same, so no shame to it.
I never want to see that look on Doris's face directed at ME, although I'd be quite keen to see it aimed at my enemies.
Congrats on getting the cat back, that's really lucky after 3 weeks!
Would also like to offer congratulations on getting the cat back. Out of curiosity, how far away was the cat found? We also had a cat go missing, and she was found two blocks away by someone who saw a poster. So posters do work, but it seems to me that the best approach is to try and posters relatively densely near the home as opposed to covering a larger area less densely.
three miles away! in the direction of our old house, no less.
we put posters all around our neighbourhood, mostly near our house- fwiw if this happens to any of y'all, check your pet insurance as it may cover the cost of missing pet advertising like ours did- but it was a post on nextdoor that did the trick in the end. a very kind and smart person happened to spot him and call us, and we drove out to nab him!
We had a cat disappear for two weeks... then he turned up in the basement!
Whatever you might think about social media, you can't beat it for mobilising the entire world to find your missing cats.
I think your cat is part pigeon.
Doris is totally part of some secret service.
If Doris is an undercover policewoman whose main task is to watch Pemberton Pryce, it would seem logical for her to report to Nicola Barber.
I'm wondering if Doris is in another organization completely. Remember Nicola is local law enforcement not national or other.
Local or national doesn't matter, an police officer only has whatever authority at sea a ship's captain allows. Pryce's captain would be well within his rights to lock anyone claiming to be a government agent in the brig.
Maybe she's part of the same Temporal Infiltration unit that Sam was back in Chapter 4
Oooh, i like that idea.
Until proven otherwise that's part of my headcanon.
Ahh so good to hear about your cat!!
Thank you for sharing the good news about your cat! I've been worried.
Also: what good is a gun, when there's no-one left to shoot?
I am overjoyed that you found your cat and that he was returned to you safely.
I'm so glad you found both of your cats! I can't think of much that would be more of a nightmare than not knowing where my furry kids are.
Yay! That is amazingly good news!
Don't you just love it when an evil plan falls apart?
Definitely needed good news today. Very happy for you and your cat.
Congratulations!
Poor Tim. He probably had no idea his day was going to be this eventful. And make sure to take the cat to the vets to check for any diseases and parasites.
we will, giving him a few days at home to destress though before we stuff him into a carrier again
So glad for your cat coming back! I'm really happy for you.
HAM IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK \\o/
you damn stupid cat, making people worry
I'm so glad you got your cat back!
Yay for return of sweet kitty! That is the best best news! Yay!!!!
And yay for Lei and Doris and Vee!
I am so happy to hear that both your kitties made it home to you!
YOINK!
Hurray on the cat!
And once again, it's the magician's female assistant who really does the trick.
I came here to ask about the kitty, didn't really expect a page... And I see a kitty and a page as a cherry on top!!! Very happy for you! :)
Hooray for the return of the missing cat! I'm so happy for y'all!
Huzzah! The cat has returned to their rightful kingdom!
Oh thank goodness you have your kitty!!
YAAAAAAAAY YOUR CAT IS BACK
I knew the worsening weather would work to weaken the certainty engine. I didn't realize that Thea's summoning relied on it, too. Now, how are they going to get back home?
Magic doing something that big would definitely need some kind of assist, or people would be making off with anchors on a daily basis. Can you imagine the chaos? Of course, I suppose the fact that so many people know where two of the four anchors are probably helps keep them in place even more, but still.
Yes, nice people do exist. Their quiet, unseen, helpful actions are too often credited to some deity, or else mistaken for magic. So glad your boy is back home safe!
OHHHHH! BOTH CATS SAFELY HOME! Sorry excuse the caps but as a cat owner I get majorly anxious about missing furbabies, so much can happen to them. Oh I bet he's had a heck of a time, I'd pop him 'round to the vet just to make sure he didn't get into anything bad.
As for the page, yay to Doris, each time I see her I like her even more. She's got such a little gremlin expression in that tube. Although she always steals the scene (like the silverware!) let's not forget an honorable mention to Lei for her flying tackle strugglecuddle.
YAA
I'm so delighted you got your cat back! Congrats!
The tiny lil peeping Doris face is probably my favorite thing on this page
The Cat has tasted freedom...some say that is far more addictive than human blood.
Soldier, it saddens me to convey this order, but you must scratch The Cat's ears.
If you summon an anchor and the spell goes wrong, do you create a buggerup? And will this have a knock-on effect on the other anchors? I think we are about to find out.
Doris' eyes... the last time I saw something similar was on something that stalks in the all grass next to the road... shudders
I see that look on the faces of my cats all the time as they peer out from carefully selected hiding places with preplanned routes for attack and retreat. Usually when they think that I might be thinking of clipping their claws or taking them to the veterinarian.
Yay kitty cat!
Did Doris... save him?
Glad y'all got the cat back home safe!
Congratulations on the cat coming back.
Oh thank goodness! Happy to hear the kitty is back home!!
Ah, this is the page where everything goes to shit! 10 bucks says Thea and Lei are going through that door in the next page
That's right Doris! You get your man!
Yay Doris!
At first glance i thought that Tim had taken advantage of Pryce's distraction...
I think Doris has a Thing where Tim is concerned.
Doris, International Maid of Mystery, at your rescue
Also yeah on the return of your cat =^w^=
So glad your boy is back! Been praying a LOT!
I feel like Doris needs a musical cue, like the bad guys from the original Carmen Sandiego video games.
Zoop!
YAYYYYY I'm so glad the cat is okay!!!!
