Panel 3 Dinner is done but August is exhausted. He goes to bed and his two cats have quickly settled in for sleep. August thinks about his game but he just doesn't have the energy for it. August (thinking): Too tired... I'll play it later. Panel 4 August is woken up by his to cats touching his face and meowing for food. He'd like to play his new game, but there's things that have to be done and he has to get to work. August: I'll play it after work... Eventually. Nougat: Maw (possibly meaning "Excuse me good sir, but I find myself in a most peckish state and it be pleasing if you could find it fit to fill my dining bowl with your most delicious of food morsels. I apologize for waking you in this most undignified manner but it is imperative that I dine soon I fear that I might perish from this foul hunger.") Mewbert: Mew (possibly meaning "FEED ME! NOW!")

Costume Inspiration - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher and Douglas are meeting up to go Trick-or-Treating. Gustopher sees that Douglas has decided to go as the classic ghost for Halloween. Various spooky things are happening in a house in the background. There are two mysterious figures on the second floor with a spider above them. And demonic entity also appears to have a plate full of eyeballs as a bat watches from above. I hear they're full of protein. Gustopher: DOUGLAS! Great costume! Douglas: Thanks. Panel 2 Douglas poses in his costume. It's just a simple sheet with eye and arm holes cut out but it's effective. I'd give it four out of five rocks. Douglas explains his inspiration for the costume. Douglas: I decided to be a ghost. It represents my fear of never truly being seen and my hope to be remembered. Panel 3 Gustopher stands in his own costume. He is wearing the same taco costume he wore last year. He begins to contemplate his inspiration for such a costume. Thankfully, the house behind him does not have anything too spooky in it. Just a cat looking at what's going on outside. Panel 4 Gustopher carefully chooses his words and explains his inspiration for his fine taco costume. Gustopher: I'm a taco because I like tacos. The cat in the window appears to be doing something. Smiling? And shadowy tendrils are erupting beneath the cat. Okay, I'm sorry. This is too spooky. The eyeballs were bad enough. I'm leaving.

Parental Permission (Part 5) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher and Douglas have both asked their respective parents if Douglas can go trick-or-treating with Gustopher and his dad. Gustopher is waiting on the swings to hear if Douglas has received permission to go. Gustopher: Did your parents say you can go? Douglas: Yeah, my dad said it's okay. Panel 2 Douglas has a lot on his mind. He received permission but felt rather different from his father's usual parenting style. He's happy he can go but finds it odd. Douglas: But... Dad is always telling me I need to be more mature. Panel 3 Douglas sits down on the swings. They're pretty high up and he's short so it's impressive that he got up with such ease. Please applause. Douglas deserves it. Douglas: Now he's telling me to enjoy being a kid while I can. It's confusing. Panel 4 The sun is setting behind Gustopher and Douglas as they sit and contemplate parents on the swing. The two of them wondering how much parents really have things figured out. Gustopher: Maybe it's confusing for parents too. Douglas: That's the scariest part.

Parental Permission (Part 4) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Douglas is asking his father for permission to go out with a friend on Halloween. He has gone down to the basement where his father has spent many hours painting various models. Across his table are various tools for model painting. Douglas is weary of being down here at all be he does not want to put off asking his big question. Douglas: Dad, could I go trick-or-treating on Halloween with Gustopher and his dad? Ben: Yes. Panel 2 Douglas is surprised. He was expecting to be told no and possibly receive a lecture on how immature trick-or-treating is. He wants to understand why he's being given permission. Douglas: Really? I thought you'd call it childish. Ben: It is childish. You are a child. Go do child things. Panel 3 Ben begins to paint the model spaceship he's holding. His expression grows a little more serious. He explains his reasoning. Ben: Enjoy it while you can. Life is short. Eventually you have to stop playing with toys and man up. Panel 4 Against his better judgement, Douglas questions this statement. Douglas: But you're playing with toys right now! Ben: These are collectables. That's different. Deep down, Ben knows it's really not that different.

Parental Permission (Part 3) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Douglas has been invited to go trick-or-treating with Gustopher and his dad. Now all he needs to do is ask his parents. He's about to enter his house and is not very confident about this because of his father's lack of patience with kid activities. He is certain he would say no. Douglas: Dad almost always says no when I ask to do anything. Panel 2 Douglas begins to formulate a plan. He's pretty sure he can bypass his father in this matter. All he needs to do is ask his mom and he'll probably be in the clear. No disapproving comments from his dad. Douglas: Just have to ask Mom. Dad doesn't even need to know. Operation "Just Ask Mom" is go! Panel 3 Douglas approaches his mom who is handling his fussy younger brother. He decides to get the question out while he still has the courage. Douglas: Mom, could I- Wendalyn: Sorry Ducky, I'm busy. Ask your father. Operation "Just Ask Mom" has failed. Panel 4 Douglas only now realizes that his timing could have been better. He stares down at the ground in defeat. Douglas: Dang it.

Parental Permission (Part 2) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher has just discovered that Douglas does not going trick-or-treating on Halloween.

Panel 2 Gustopher has a great idea. He once again gets excited. Gustopher: What if you went with me and my dad? Douglas: I wouldn't be a bother? Panel 3 Gustopher is already jumping into it and starts on his way home to ask his dad. Gustopher: Of course not! Let's ask our parents. The worst they can say is "No." Douglas: Yeah... Panel 4 Douglas looks towards the ground. He's not feeling very confident about this at all. His father has never been big on kid things. Douglas: Or make me feel stupid for even asking.

Parental Permission (Part 1) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher is excited to see Douglas and wants to talk about Halloween costumes. Tragically, he is in for a massive shock. Gustopher: Douglas! What are you going as for Halloween? Douglas: Nothing. Panel 2 Gustopher is bewildered! How could this be! Not dressing up when you go out on Halloween is probably against the law or something. What if Douglas is arrested? Gustopher: But you have to dress up to go out on Halloween night! Douglas: I don't go out. Panel 3 Gustopher is baffled! How is Douglas going to go trick-or-treating if he doesn't go out? What is happening? Gustopher: BUT HOW DO YOU GO TRICK-OR-TREATING?

Banned Books - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Olivia and Gustopher are at the library. The Library is having a special event for books that have been banned in the past. Dora the librarian is stacking books with titles like "BOOK", "Boogers", "Tales", "Can you", "read this" and "Word". Olivia has a great interest in forbidden knowledge and has been browsing what's available. She's found a book called "Salt Box" and has an important question for the librarian. Olivia: Miss Librarian! Why was this book banned? Dora: Vulgar Language. Panel 2 Dora makes a shocked expression and holds her hands to her face. This is the only way she can express how depraved the book is. Dora: The word "butt" is used.... FIFTEEN TIMES! Panel 3 Dora looks down to the children to gather their reaction. Internally, Gustopher is wondering if Dora meant "but" with one "t" or "butt" with two. Olivia immediately assumes it's the latter. Behind them is a poster promoting banned books week. There is a cartoon book that's smiling and saying "I'm forbidden!" He's booky the banned book. He was specifically banned for being made using the darkest of magic. He's also kind of rude. Panel 4 Olivia is excited about the book. This leads Gustopher to assume that "butt" was indeed spelled with an extra "t". Olivia: Now I have to read it. Dora: Oh noooo... I'll help you check it out.

We Wait - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher is floating in a nameless expanse with his arms stretched out and his eyes closed... Colors of blue, black, purple, and pink spark and shift all around him. He can do nothing here but wait. Gustopher: I am adrift in the realm between. Time is meaningless. Panel 2 Gustopher contemplates his situation further. Gustopher: How long has it been? Minutes? Years? Who knows... Panel 3 In reality, Gustopher is laying on the floor with his cat, Mewbert, comfortably lying on top of him. August is watching while holding a cup of something warm that probably has caffeine in it. He would be concerned but is well aware that he has done stuff like this when he was a kid. Panel 4 August decides to make sure that Gustopher is okay. August: You okay? Gustopher: Yeah, just waiting for my game to finish updating. Mewbert opens her eyes and notices that Nougat, the other cat, has seen that Gustopher is lying on the floor. Mewbert does not wish to relinquish this comfortable place to nap. Nougat wants a lap to nap on too. There will not be peace in this house tonight.

Cups - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher has a thirst for sweet delicious water. Unfortunately, he is only able to find the red cup. This will not do. In background is a box of "Sugar O's". The box depicts a bowl with a mouth and a tongue hanging out of that mouth. This has nothing to do with the comic. I just thought I'd point it out. I think it would be pretty unsettling to eat from a bowl with a mouth. Anyway, I'm getting very off topic. Gustopher: DAD! Where's my blue cup? August: In the dishwasher. Use the red one. Panel 2 Gustopher can't believe this suggestion. The red cup is for juice. He's only ever used the red cup for juice. He wouldn't want to break the rules. Gustopher: BUT RED IS FOR JUICE! BLUE IS FOR WATER! August: They can both hold water. Panel 3 Gustopher looks down at his red cup and considers this for a moment. He guesses that there really isn't a good reason he couldn't use his red cup for water. Gustopher: Oh. Panel 4 Gustopher proceeds to get water from the fridge. This is a different fridge from the one that has appeared in previous comics. It's one of those fancy fridges where you can get water directly from the fridge. Technology is amazing. Gustopher: Someday I'll understand how the world works.

Retro Difficulty - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher throws up his arms in frustration. He's sitting on the ground and playing an old video game. The game is proving to be difficult. He is wearing a shirt that depicts a face represented by a large G and two smaller Gs representing the eyes. Mewbert is watching from the couch. She is confident that she could beat it easily. Gustopher: THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! How did anyone beat this old game? Panel 2 Gustopher's dad chimes in to note how the game is definitely beatable. Nougat is comfortably sitting on his lap and happy to be recieving pets. August: It takes practice, memorization, and perseverance. Gustopher: Is that how you beat it? Panel 3 August looks suspiciously to the side. He is filled with sudden wave of shame. Nougat doesn't notice anything. She's just enjoying the pets. August: Well... Panel 4 August decides to come clean. August: There's also a code for infinite life. Gustopher: CHEATING! Nougat is no longer pleased. Not because of August's use of cheat codes but because his pets have slowed down. Nougat will remember that. Mewbert isn't really paying attention to any of this anymore.

Gustopher: Have I wasted my youth? Panel 2 The world grows dark as Gustopher contemplates how little time any one individual actually has. The world is so full of beauty and wonder and there's so little time to truly appreciate it. Gustopher: The seasons change and so do I. If only I understood the value of days gone by. Panel 3 August is standing next to Gustopher and gives him a concerning glance. But he knows exactly what this is about. Panel 4 August: School starting makes me sad too. Gustopher: I wish I played more video games.

Panel 2 Liam and Hannah are mildly bewildered at this statement. Neither of them are sure why someone would want salt with their ice cream. Liam: Why do you need salt? Olivia: To salt the ice cream. Don't you all do that? Hannah: No. Olivia: That's weird. Panel 3 Olivia begins to seriously contemplate all the times she has had a ice cream. She has always put salt on her ice cream. Her mom and sister always puts salt on her ice cream. She's pretty sure her dad used to as well. She tries to recall a single incident of seeing someone from outside her family salt their ice cream. Panel 4 Olivia's mouth opens wide in shock as she comes to a horrifying realization. Olivia: AM I THE WEIRD ONE!? And no, Olivia is not weird. Salted Ice Cream is great and I strongly recommend giving it a try. All you need is a light a sprinkle. Let me know if you like it. Everyone thinks I'm weird because I salt my ice cream. I am weird but for entirely different reasons.

Sweet & Salty - Gator Days

A comic strip! The first row is a single wide panel. The cat sorcerer is sitting outside by a fire, roasting a carrot on a stick, when a lizard Warrior brandishing a sword shows up. The second row has two panels. The first panel shows a close-up of the lizard Warrior. He smirks and shows a wanted poster for the cat, indicating he is here to apprehend him for the reward. His tail extends off the right side of the panel. The second panel shows a close-up of the cat. He lifts up his roasted carrot, which is now on fire. The carrot extends off the left side of the panel. The third row has two panels, featuring the same two shots as the previous row. But now, the cat uses her magic staff to erase the border between the two panels. As a result, the flaming carrot becomes connected to the end of the lizard's tail. The fourth row is a wide panel, similar to the first panel. The lizard Warrior runs away screaming, his tail on fire. The cat wanders off looking smug.

This one is about togetherness

A four panel comic, with two rows of two panels. The first three panels all depict a dark room where a large Dragon sits atop a pile of gold. In the first panel, a cat sorcerer approaches the dragon, who looks ready to defend his goal. In the second panel, the cat uses her magic staff to create a small break in the bottom border of the panel, beneath the pile of gold, causing the gold to start streaming out the bottom of the panel. In the third panel, the cat walks away, while the dragon starts to panic about the rapidly diminishing size of his gold pile. In the fourth panel, we cut away to a shot of the cat outside, driving a large open wagon. The gold that is pouring out of the bottom of the second panel is falling into the wagon, filling it up.

Cat burglar

A comic strip, with four rows of panels. The first row is one wide panel. A sorcerer cat looks at the three cups of a pick a cup game. The second row is the same wide panel. The sorcerer cat starts to use their magic powers to draw panel divisions between the cups. In the third row, the panel has now been divided into several panels. Instead of being one panel with three cups, there are now three smaller identical panels with one cup each in them, making it look like they are all the same cup. In the final panel, we zoom out to see the confused host of the pick a cup game, who can't figure out why his game now only has one cup. The cat points towards the one remaining cup.

Pick a cup

A comic strip, with three rows of wide panels. A cat sorcerer sits by a river, looking at the fish. In the second wide panel, they use their magic staff to start creating a divide down the middle of the panel. In the third wave panel, the line has not divided it into, so that it is now two panels. The water from the river drains off the edge of the divide, so that the right half of the riverbed is now empty, allowing the cat to walk down and grab the fish.

Well, that's one way to do it

A five panel comic. The first row has two panels. In the first panel, Dipper the corgi is presented with a bowl of food. The second panel shows a close-up of the bowl of food. The second row has two similar panels... One wide shot of Dipper with the bowl, and one close-up of the bowl. But Dipper decides to walk from the left now into the right panel, with the border between them flipping up like a doggy door. Because Dipper stays the same size, the bowl is now enormous, and he climbs into it looking excited to eat. The third row is one wide panel. At the vet, Dipper's owner holds up the bowl with his now tiny dog in it and looks upset. The vet scratches her chin and looks confused.
