Stomp.

Every now and again, it's good to put an outrageous pun into the strip. And Archy got what he deserved for using it. But don't worry, he's a cockroach - it'll take more than a cat paw to harm him. He returns on Monday. Just as well, he's proving to be surprisingly popular.

Incidentally, font nerds may be interested to know that the typewriter font Archy uses is Prestige Elite Bold. Not only that - I'm so old school that I insist on printing the words out and sticking it onto the original artwork before scanning the black and white artwork in rather than doing it in Photoshop during post-production. Ironically, it takes up more space but is harder to read than my own handwriting.
