Finally! Emily gets a pet!  Isn’t he cute?  Don’t you just want to cuddle with him?  Well, that might be a little slimy, but he’s still cute.

This storyline has been a long time coming, and I want to give credit where it’s due: My wife.  She has been instrumental in coming up with Emily’s design and personality.  The idea of Emily wanting a pet like Kals’ came up many months ago, before Emily was ever introduced. In fact, today’s strip was entirely her idea, I just helped with the build up.
