I’m hoping you’re noticing the difference between the daily strips drawn four years ago, and the current Sunday ones. (Check out smithcomic.blogspot.co.uk where I was rerunning the first year of Smith at the same time as running these Sundays.) I’m finding that the more panels I have, the less dialogue I have to use, and the last few have been pretty well silent. Also the colouring is less brash and the drawing is looser. The cats expressions convey their emotions more clearly as well.

Very much a Billy and Annabelle inspired strip, this one. The last few months have been flutterby season. Any moth or crane fly that dares to enter our house gets stalked, caught, and then toyed with for a quarter of an hour before finally being eaten. Bella is the tactician, Billy is the muscle. And if we had an invasion of moths like these not an ornament in the house would still be left standing.
