The kittenWell-known quadruped domestic animal from the family of
predatory felines (_Felis ochreata domestica_), with a thick,
soft pelt; often kept as a pet. Various folklores have the
cat associated with magic and the gods of ancient Egypt.

So Ulthar went to sleep in vain anger; and when the people
awakened at dawn - behold! Every cat was back at his
accustomed hearth! Large and small, black, grey, striped,
yellow and white, none was missing. Very sleek and fat did
the cats appear, and sonorous with purring content.

no beautiful things, but they make many clever ones. They

untidy and dirty. Hammers, axes, swords, daggers, pickaxes,

slaves that have to work till they die for want of air and

Er, what? That punchline could have been delivered without the reference to a previous strip. Can someone explain this one to me, please?

If I'm not mistaken, a pokemon reference and a bad pun.

I got the reference, and I saw the pun, but this comic still makes no sense to me.

I think that was a trademark lawyer.

Yeah, the Pokemon thing threw it off quite a bit. It was still funny, though, so fair.

I find this one to be in rather poor taste, particularly since L gave us some good ones.

OK guys, the punchline is a serious case of revenge for a major eyesore, with a pun thrown in for good measure.

Newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of
its time in the water.
        [ Oxford's Student's Dictionary of Current English ]

"Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

Well... whatever, he'll turn up here soon.
On a side note: I was wondering what if Dogley got fed up with Dudley's constant dying and went on an ascension run himself. Y'know, something like: ShopkeeperThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the
earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but
occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit
mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often
resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of
using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the
Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.

"Oh, hello, little doggy. Take whatever you want." "Uhh... why are you stuffing everything in that bag"Now, this third handkerchief," Mein Herr proceeded, "has also
four edges, which you can trace continuously round and round:
all you need do is to join its four edges to the four edges of
the opening. The Purse is then complete, and its outer
surface--"
"I see!" Lady Muriel eagerly interrupted. "Its outer surface
will be continuous with its inner surface! But it will take
time. I'll sew it up after tea." She laid aside the bag, and
resumed her cup of tea. "But why do you call it Fortunatus's
Purse, Mein Herr?"
The dear old man beamed upon her, with a jolly smile, looking
more exactly like the Professor than ever. "Don't you see,
my child--I should say Miladi? Whatever is inside that Purse,
is outside it; and whatever is outside it, is inside it. So
you have all the wealth of the world in that leetle Purse!"

"evolves" into a housecat as in pokemon, then L gets shot by a disgruntled reader sick of the Pokehack jokes.
