This is probably the longest strip I've done. I had to think carefully about contradicting things that were already established in previous episodes and decided it wasn't an advisable thing to do. The punchline was originally the one about not liking grass, but chewing it to keep the lawn tidy. But we already know that they have a grass fixation and love the stuff, so I added the last frame (in which it all turns out to be a joke on Crow) in order to keep things nicely in order.
What's more fun than a cuddle with a woolly critter?
Try completing a puzzle online - they have just the right number of pieces for a coffee-break challenge and you gradually reveal the cartoon.
If you like Yvonne then the good news is that you can support the author, buy the image to keep and avail yourself of some really useful kit, such as mugs, bags, coasters, mouse mats, postcards, greetings cards, even posters and prints.
Don't see the item you'd like with the cartoon you'd like? Just email me, I'll be happy to arrange it for you.

FRAME 1:
Crow pulling worm out of the ground
SFX: POP
FRAME 2:
Yvonne: ew, that really is revolting. (worm wiggles)
SFX: GULP
FRAME 3:
Crow: (Worm is gone) You vegetarians are so self-righteous
Yvonne: Oh, we're not vegetarian, what makes you think that?
FRAME 4:
Crow: Oh, I don't know, maybe the fact that you all have your faces permanently buried in the grass.
Yvonne: Oh - I see why you'd think that. No, that's just gardening. (sigh) If only someone would invent a machine to keep our lawn nice and tidy, we could stop doing the job with our teeth.
FRAME 5:
Yvonne: (snigger) I told crow we only chew the grass to keep our lawn tidy
Maureen: As long as you didn't tell him about its narcotic properties
