Sorry for the delay, eh, and sorry if what her saying is a little hard to read, but it’s intentional. Just read the transcripts below if this happens again, intentionally or not.
If you don’t get the ma’am sir part, here’s an excerpt from Urban Dictionary since I’m not sure it’s used anywhere else except here:

Tammy: Oh no, Myan! Overalls again? Myan: But this is a costume...
Tammy: And didn't we also do this "twin" thing al....ready? What.
Sorry I didn’t update last week, it was my birthday. Yipee… 23 years. Thanks to everyone who greeted me! And a Happy Halloween as well! Also, look forward to a bonus comic involving Doodling Around (the site might still be down, if that’s the case go here instead), a special Halloween banner, and maybe some more extra comics over the weekend.
Love how panel 3 turned out, although it’s a little frustrating that compared to Hibi’s tree, drawing people at this extreme angle is still very hard for me to do. Oh well!
Transcript
Keith: A cat's pretty nice, even if I prefer dogs...
Keith: And... I guess I'm just one of those people who name their pets after what they say. Well, whatever.
Keith: At least no one heard me going "Miyan! Miyan!" earlier.
Keith: Alright, let's get you a collar! Myan: ~mew
Whew, delay, I really was lazying again this week hah. At least I got to finish the comic in one day, although technically it took me from Saturday night to Sunday morning to finish.
Nuhh, that first panel with Keith kneeling down took forever to draw. I’m pretty sure it’s not perfect yet, then again, 90% or so should be good enough not to lose my sanity over.
Some things I’m planning to do this month, hopefully I can get most of them done:
Draw something for that webcomic Halloween event. If you have a webcomic, why not join as well?
Make 3 comics a week, so I have a buffer of 1 month worth of comics (12 pages) in preparation for the thrice a week update. The buffer’s also going to be used if my Patreon page is finished; patrons pledging a certain amount can view them in advance. If you have any suggestions for some of the rewards, just tell me!
Transcript
Keith: Hmm...
Keith: When I look at you... Myan: meow Keith: Suddenly, the perfect name comes to mind!
Whew, this is a big one! Panels 1 to 7 were already done since Tuesday, but heh, I was slacking off for the rest of the week (archive binging The World God Only Knows and Angel Densetsu, and finished them!) so I didn’t get to finish it on time. Even then, this is worth about 3 comics and but I finished it anyway; hopefully this means I can make 3 a week in the future! I kinda cheated by drawing Keith in super-deformed styled though, but oh well.
Barring my poor Photoshop skills for panel 6, I quite like how I drew Keith in some of the panels here as well as the backgrounds, particularly for Keith’s room. The last panel’s looking especially nice, don’t ya think?
Oh yeah, some highlights this week, and I just want to thank everyone for the support!
Cat Nine has reached Top 50 in The Webcomic List! Have no idea how we can influence the rank (there’s no way to vote), but thanks anyway!
Cat Nine has reached Top 200 in Top Web Comics!Voting helps a lot, and again, thanks!
