[ID: a very simply drawn three panel comic. the first panel shows a person approaching a cat that’s laying on the floor and reaching down to hug her, saying “gertie.” the second panel shows two coins falling from the person’s shirt pocket. the third panel shows the coins bouncing off the cat, who doesn’t care.]
