A muted calico cat sits on a desk in front of a computer screen blocking access to the keyboard.
Well it's taken 9 months, but she's finally decided that I need help doing my job. I pretty much knew that, but she took the time to analyze the situation properly. Darn good cat work I say...

Comic. PERSON 1: That movie was so good. Maybe even the greatest movie of all time question mark? PERSON 2: Yeah comma, but you said that about italics *Charlieโs Angels Colon: Full Throttle* period.
