First my ISP would have to tell me my options and their prices.    I have asked them to quote me something, but haven't heard back so far.

Too bad there are no ad filters for phone browsers that I know of, with 3.5G, 3G or wifi coverage they don't annoy me much thanks to the speed but when forced to use gprs/edge they are rather bothersome.

Yeah, and all the scrolling on the 320 x 320 screen.
But I can still get my Sandusky fix whenever and wherever!

I don't have to scroll.  

Behold, the 800*352 pixel resolution of the E90 shows Sandusky nicely :

Awww... how cute. Upset kat in frame 3.

That is a rather interesting facial expression in frame 3.
I don't think I've ever seen any of the cougars at the sanctuary pull that one

What do you say, would it even be possible for a real cougar to pull an expression like that if it wanted to?

I don't think so either

I don't know, but it's a perfect expression of what I look like when the alarm goes off in the morning.

Come to think of it, I too must have looked like that in the past when I had an alarm clock with a really sadistic alarm, it emitted a low and extremely loud "rrrrrrrrrrr..."-like constant tone.

After a few years I almost always woke up shortly before it went off so I could instantly silence it.  

OK, so I took a little artistic license with that one.  

Mountain lions do make some pretty interesting faces from time to time, though.  I'd think the flehmen response is about as close as you can get to Sandusky's face in panel #3.

On the other hand, considering that the cast of your strip consists of heavily anthropomorphized talking kats and other animals with magical appearing/disappearing opposable thumbs maybe we can let that slide.  

And my ISP has just told me that I can't get SDSL because my phone line is too long, so I'll have to do with my 2/1 ADSL.

This strip would be a whole lot less fun without a little artistic license...but I'm going to be on the lookout for that expression in the future anyway just so I can send a picture

Or the one today! I hate birds too Dusker... except chicken and turkey. Those are fine, right next to a side of beef.

I'm going to store "pooped on my tetherball" away to use someday. Like, instead of asking a grumpy person "who pissed in your Cheerios," I'll ask them "who pooped on your tetherball?"

I've always wanted to coin a phrase.  

Poop on a tetherball is a problem we've never had on the sanctuary. However, I *have* come to the conclusion that tetherballs are no match for cougars, which is why most of our tetherballs are no longer tethered. :P

You must have smarter birds there than the ones in Sandusky.

whats fustrating is setting up a wireless network.  I know how it *should* work, but I cant seem to get the router and the dsl modem to get on talking terms.  they both work fine independly, but I cant get the internet to go through the router...

I was frustrated with wireless last week too, but it was mostly my own fault for being in a hurry and grabbing a cheap wlan router when I actually needed a bridge, I did get it to "work" after a fashion but decided to buy a new bridging one anyway.

And then I thought I could flash some 3rd party firmware on the now useless router so I could use it to wirelessly extend my network to downstairs, only to find out that out of eight or so revisions it's just the one that has the super-el-cheapo motherboard to which there is no 3rd party support (at least not yet).

I hope I am not in the same situation.  If I am, my dad will kill me
