Today’s doodle was inspired by a brief message from my vacationing dad yesterday, citing some Gmail issues on his laptop. Looks like Charlotte is having some technical issues of her own. ¡Qué lata!

As much as I look forward to Charlotte’s south of the border updates, I can’t help thinking of that scene in the film Local Hero, where the wristwatch that’s set to beep when it’s meeting time in Houston gets subdued, and ultimately silenced, by the Scottish surf. There’s something to be said for getting a reprieve from dealing with one’s email while on vacation—especially if you’re a cat?


While not everyone is a fan, I was in the camp that thought she did a great job, especially given what a demanding gig it is. —Not to mention that Charlotte is beginning to get a little long in the whiskers (and just a wee bit plump).







After making the above doodle for Dad, I thought I’d flesh out Max and Flora’s backstory with a few looser scribbles, explaining how they met…

Interestingly, Flora and Twilight’s Bella have a few things in common. For starters, they both met their new interspecies pal in Biology class, while teamed up as lab partners.
