DON'T ASK FOR IT,

PETER,

UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT IT.

YOU BETTER MAKE SURE.

WELL, ALL RIGHT.

BUT IF YOU FIND:

YOU DON'T LIKE IT,

YOU MUSTN'T BLAME ANYBODY

BUT YOUR OWN SELF.

OH!

TOM?

WHAT ON EARTH:

AILS THAT CAT?

I DON'T KNOW,

AUNT POLLY.

I NEVER SEE ANYTHING

LIKE IT.

WHAT DID MAKE HIM

ACT SO?

CATS ALWAYS ACT SO

WHEN THEY'RE

HAVING A GOOD TIME.

OH, THEY DO, DO THEY?

DID YOU GIVE THAT CA SOME PAINKILLER?

LOOK ME IN THE EYE.

HMM!

OH!

NOW, SIR, WHAT YOU WANT TO

TREAT THAT CAT SO CRUEL FOR?

I DONE IT OUT OF PITY

FOR HIM:

'CAUSE HE HADN' ANY AUNT.

HADN'T ANY AUNT,

WHAT'S THA GOT TO DO WITH IT?

BECAUSE IF HE'D HAD ONE,
