Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for October 15, 2024

That meat tastes Grrrrreat!…..

Cosmo can’t afford that much meat working for Shoe.

He was distracted by the Coney Island Hot Dog eating contest.

I expected someone to turn this into something about Cosco.

That’s one hungry baseball team.

I see that attempt made by a few folks at an all you can eat buffet.

Who can blame him, the way you cook sometimes ! ! !

But Cosmo’s no tiger…. just a feeder.

He is still recovering from the meatloaf.

What about Hobbes? Or Tigger?

Cosmo only does coffee.

now why did I think in the first panel that she was headed that way??

It would take more than one feeding for that tiger to finish off Cosmo. He must weigh at least 14 stone (89 kg) and maybe more.

Did he get eaten by a tiger?

That reminds me, the finale of the “Big Cats 24/7” series is on PBS tomorrow night. They actually showed some of the cats with bulging stomachs after making a kill and cited this stat. Some, like the leopards and cheetahs, find it more necessary to gorge themselves because something else, like lions or hyenas, might come along and they then lose their kill. Kinda heartbreaking when it’s a single cheetah or leopard mom with young. But for the most part, it’s been grrrreeaaatt! to watch…no tigers, tho. Just leopards, lions and cheetahs.

He’s on the prowl

Cosmo doesn’t weigh a hundred pounds, so the tigers won’t bother him.
