Another strip inspired by watching my cats. In my household I'm the designated hooverer, and it's quite amusing to see the reactions of my two cats whenever the vaccuum cleaner comes out. Smudge just remains where she is laying, and expects to be hoovered around. Gizmo, on the other hand, panics as soon as he sees the machine emerge from its lair. He can usually be found afterwards, hiding behind the suitcases on top of the wardrobe, making piteous noises like an injured seagull.
Yes, this is a very retro Electrolux cleaner. It's more characterful than my own Vax, and it has that lamp at the front that gives it a certain Cylon menace.
