Catnose for April 2007

A real life event that inspired this month’s comic, happened in 2003 at a Minnesota gentleman’s club.

The raven-haired dancer that sprayed “aphrodisiac” on me, seemed to think that life could always be made more exciting with chemicals. At that point in my life, I was really watching my health, and chemical excitement was the last thing I needed. I never did find out what the “aphrodisiac” was. I’m not really sure I want to know what it was. Dancing around naked, without being able to take care of myself in private, until after my set was done, wasn’t much fun. Fortunately, nature has a way of taking care of annoying people.

When the chemical-loving dancer stormed into the dressing room and yelling about how she had slipped on my… *AHEM*… secretions, the other dancers and I couldn’t stop laughing. The bartender snickered as she picked up the dirty ashtrays in the dressing room. I didn’t think it was humanly possible for me to make enough girl goo to be a workplace hazard (and I am still skeptical.) Still, I had a perverse sense of satisfaction over her two spectacular falls.

The last time I saw chemical-loving dancer, she was in the process of being fired for stealing stuff and trying to pin the crime on someone else. That also happened to be the last night I ever saw my naughty schoolgirl outfit and my favorite broom skirt. GRR! Thankfully, I can take some consolation in being able to mock Ms. Better-Living-Through-Chemistry in the latest installment of the “Nine Lives of Catnose” with some really hot art by Stef. Enjoy!
