Because, heck, it’s getting near Christmas.
This is Ghlaghghee looking at Zeus as he lounges with the bears, incidentally. I’m not sure that she entirely approves of his insouciance.

Okay, bring on the Lopsided Cat now.
“He’s laying about with… stuffed animals? Hey, Lopsided! Kodi! Get in here! Check out what new guy’s doing!”
“I’m not sure that she entirely approves of his insouciance.”
You authors and your five dollar words.
And, once again, the poor dog is neglected. Are canines not photogenic too?
“This is Ghlaghghee looking at Zeus as he lounges with the bears”
I read this before paging down and seeing that the “bears” in question were stuffed plush animals.
So my initial thought was “Scalzi brought bears home to his house?”
The scary part is that the idea has a certain degree of believability.
I will not even speculate on what he might be trying to tape to the bears.
I will say, however, that “FIVE GRIZ-Z-Z-Z-ZLY BEAR-R-R-R-S!” would make a fine line for an alternate version of “Twelve Days of Christmas”.
ben @4: Haven’t you been reading JS’ rants? ‘Insouciance’ is a five *cent* word.
Ghlaghghee’s blue eyes and cream portions match the background so delightfully that I am almost tempted to suspect Mr Scalzi of positioning her there on purpose.
That cat reminds me of that cat from Alice in Wonderland.
Never mind Ghlaghghee’s “You’ve got to be f*cking kidding me” expression: there’s a disguised triffid sneaking up on her! Run, Ghlaghghee! Run for your life!
John, how are you getting that cool soft focus (both with Ghlaghghee and with Lopsided Cat)? Are you using a lens filter or are you adding it in Photoshop? (Or do they just naturally radiate like that?)
Man, I wish I could have plants dribbling all over like that and not have my cat mow them down (and then puke all over everything)!
