Did you have any pets as a kid? I vaguely remember there being a budgie in our house when I was very young, but only just. We did try to take in a lovely little dog but my sister ended up allergic. My mum also hated cats, so despite the fact I loved my schoolfriend’s kitty we were never allowed one. Of course that’s all changed now, my street is full of cats and I’m trying to befriend every single one, plus I cat sit Smudge who has appeared on the blog before.

Any excuse to show a photo of the wee man.

My house may have been disappointingly free of animals around the time of OiNK but the Big, Soft Pets Issue made up for that a little with its madcap combination of kangaroos, Loch Ness monsters, crabs, hippos, snakes and more, not to mention the return of a certain idiotic vet. You didn’t expect regular pets to feature much, did you? Do you even know this comic by now?

The review of #27 of OiNK will be here from Monday 2nd May 2022.
