Elephant Town Chapter 12 (pages 23 + 24)

I hope you'll agree that Miranda's face is a pretty realistic/appropriate reaction to Baby's First Cat Puke.
(I JUST NOW realized how far away from the chair Stromboli hurked. Good form, Stromboli!)
Thanks for being so patient on this update! If you're a patron you already know this, but I was busy making a cake and a card and wrapping presents and just generally hanging out with Luke for his birthday over the weekend, which is a federal holiday as far as I know, so I hope you all had a good Luke's Birthday as well.
This is the end of Chapter 12! Oh, and Chapter 11 is up on the Elephant Town website now! Which means we are SO CLOSE to being caught up!!
I'll write more about it next week, but the regular Monday updates here will finally be behind a paywall (just a $2 paywall, but still) starting in September, after two years of Elephant Town being posted here as public posts. If you're just following without being part of a tier, you'll want to join the $2 tier to keep reading on Mondays, or if that does't appeal to you, hang tight and you can read each chapter as it goes up on the website (every two months or so).
But, like I said, I'll get into that later.
We'll peek in on another character next Monday. I hope you've had plenty of time to think about where the boobs go. ;)

2022-08-24 21:31:33 +0000 UTCI absolutely love that Miranda's reaction to cat puke is to fully commit to cat parenting.

2022-08-24 04:40:36 +0000 UTCI love how gross and real this is without actually showing cat puke. XD She CAN take care of a kitty!!

2022-08-24 04:38:49 +0000 UTCThe one time I was present for a hairball birth, I tried to shove a sheet of cardboard or other underneath her, but she adamantly refused to put it on anything but floor

2022-08-23 15:43:11 +0000 UTCThat little "lick" to decide if the puking's done for now is disgustingly on point!

2022-08-23 15:36:06 +0000 UTCOh my goodness, that last panel is so beautiful! It feels like she's talking both to Stromboli and to herself <3 What a lovely moment!

2022-08-23 15:15:10 +0000 UTCI am surprised that Stromboli didn’t find a carpet to puke on like my cats do. Maybe the cat is easing Miranda into the world of cat parenting..

2022-08-23 14:22:35 +0000 UTCStrong adulting skills, Miranda! (One tiny note? "Puking all over the floor and then acting like nothing happened, so it's up to you to clean the mess" is part of the package with a dog or cat. But if a roommate does it you need draw a hard line there.
