#826; In which Power is fleeting

Bertrand: Yes! Throat infection!
Bertrand: You know what that means, Mr. Buttons?
Bertrand: Narrator voice.

Bertrand: Mr. Buttons is a cat. Like most cats, he has a nose.
Bertrand: But local residents claim that Mr. Buttons’ nose is, in fact, the smallest cat nose in the entire house.

Bertrand: A further claim, which has not been examined by experts and cannot be verified, is that Mr. Buttons has the smallest little nose of any cat in the world.
Bertrand: Is it possible that this humble suburban home with no outward claim to fame houses the world’s smallest cat nose?
Bertrand: It may not merely be possible, but likely.

Bertrand: Still, lost in the media frenzy are the opinions of Mr. Buttons himself.
Mr. Buttons: MIARRAAWWW
Bertrand: An easy thing to say, but in this economy full of shattered dreams… not an easy thing to promise.

It was an important trip for me, a milestone in what would go on to become my career.

I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
