So Close and Yet So Far

Just look at him, Maximilian. Standing there so nonchalantly, so deliberately, his very presence a cruel rebuke. But shall we be mocked in so brazen a manner? Shall we not be avenged? Shall we let this offense persist unanswered? Until one of us can figure out how to work the doorknob, I’m afraid we must.

Dog and cat look at squirrel through door
Such is the tyranny of the human world, I’m afraid.

Definitely getting a Pinky and the Brain vibe here, Sharon H.

    I wanna know what the sqwerl is thinking…

      He’s probably pondering 🤔 what the dog is pondering. 🤔

        “I think so, Brain, but burlap chafes me so.”

        (that one was always one of my favorites for some reason)

      I hope the sqwerl knows how lucky it is, having a closed door between it and the dog and cat.

    It looks to me like the squirrel is unaware – if it was taunting I think grooming would be the way to rub it in. The intensity of the cat and the dog is mesmerizing.

    Didn’t even see the cat at first, he blends in so well. And yes, very much those two numbskulls.

    What are we going to do today Brain?
    Same thing we do everyday… TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!

      Rumor has it that they’re bringing back the Animaniacs.

      I hope they don’t ruin it, and release the DVD version of the cartoon series. I didn’t appreciate all their jokes as a kid and would love another pass at the series as an adult.

        I was watching Animaniacs in college. I wonder how much (more) of it would have gone over my head if I had been younger. (I know there are plenty of jokes in Looney Toons that I would have completely missed when I watched the first time around.)

          To say nothing of my faves Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Peabody and Sherman, et al.

            My faves too! Saturday morning.
