This is a trope I launched and I noticed that it has no image. Here are two suggestions:

generic cat

Snowball

For every low there is a high.

Opened...not really getting the humor so far. There's a great Garfield strip for this, but it would need 2 of the 3 panels.

Nah, no humor in these pictures.

Yeah...getting the "hairball", but not so much of the "humor".

I do recall owning a Garfield book with an insert near the beginning based around uses for cat hairballs. Alas, not only does my family no longer own them any more, GIS isn't turning it up either.

I did find this, though. Use panel 3?

[up] Do you remember which book it was? If it's one of the comics compilations, my library has those, at least.

[up] Yeah, it was one of the comic compilations. Latest one we had in my family was #35, and I know the first one is not it. That should narrow it down.

Edit: Looking at a list online, I remember that we also had #7, #8, probably #13, #14-16, #25, #31, and #33.

I know you'll probably reject it, but how about something from SpongeBob Comics #7, just to keep the (hair)ball rolling? There's an entire 4-page story revolving around hairballs courtesy of James Kochalka, who worked on one-page gag comics during the comics' run.

[up] Those aren't bad actually. I say either panel 1 of the first image, or panels 3 and 4 of the second one.

As long as people can read the speech bubbles at wiki size, I'm good with it. [tup]

[up][up][up] I think the speech bubbles need to have a touch larger font, but I think there's room for that.
