Okay, mystery solved:  Honest Ernest is not wearing an ankle bracelet.

Next, I don’t know where Rivera cribbed the original cat family drawing, but it overshadows (and upstages) the rest of the characters.

Yet, it only took six daily strips before Cherry managed to kneel down and grab the kitten. Rivera refers to the group in panel 3 as siblings, though the gray cat on the end looks big enough to be the mother.

Well, unless Rivera changes her schedule, it will be another two weeks before we learn what happens next!
