Checking my notes, it seems when this strip was originally published in 2006 the usual update was late that week due to the urgent priority of playing the newly released Half Life 2: Episode 1. Ah, simpler times! (I’m sure episode 3 will be out any day now).

Compulsion
I knew this cat who got off on climbing trees.
To be honest, it was pretty much a compulsion with him.
You put a tree in front of him? He’d have to climb it. Just couldn’t say no.
Some people say that was what finished him off. On that final climb of his.
But me? I’m pretty sure it was the 17 hits of ecstasy he took before he started.
