It is with a heavy heart that I tell you folks some bad news. Our dearest guinea pig, Emma, has passed away. She was over 6 years old and an absolute bundle of delights. She was one of the inspirations for this strip and I feel good knowing she’ll be immortalized in this comic.
She never stayed put for more than a moment, except to nap with her feet stretched out as far as she could. She cried out loud whenever the refrigerator door creaked open and would not stop until she was snuggled or fed. She was the most well-travelled guinea pig ever, having driven cross country twice, up and down California, and lived with 3 different families. One time she wore a cape and became the first cavy superhero. Let no-one say that Emma of the Blackfoot was without personality.
We’ll miss you sweetie, i hope you rest forever on a bed of hay and carrots.
