I Would Lick It For Hours: Two Lumps-Year One by Mel Hynes

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The two cats follow the time-honored premise of one being the fall guy, the dumb one, the stooge, and the other being the sharp one, the sarcastic observer.  And, this works.  Part of the reason it works is the quality of the expressions on the faces of the cats.  And another part is that it sticks reasonably close to what we think might be going on in the cats' minds.  I used to love Get Fuzzy, which follows a similar premise (in this case, dumb dog; smart cat), but it has strayed so far from cat and dog-like behaviors that it has lost some of its appeal for me.
