Last night I had a dream about a falling cat that lands safely on its feet, after happily leaping from two flights up. Really.<\/p>\n<p>The bio-strip was in one of the early issues of the French news-stand comics anthology magazine <em>A Suivre<\/em> #6-7 (July-August 1978), then later reprinted <em>sans<\/em> the final two pages and still in French in the Italian anthology book <em>The Cosmical Horror of H.P.
