HUSKER

What’s that smell?

Is it popcorn?

It’s quiet.

Everyone’s sleeping.

I like sleeping.

Who made popcorn?

I like this bed.

I don’t want to get up.

But I like popcorn.

And I’m hungry.

Mom left me food, but she didn’t put anything good in my bowl.

Maybe I should wake her up.

She’s making a funny noise again.

She tells everyone she doesn’t snore.

But she does.

Mom, why are you snoring?

Oh! Is that popcorn under the couch?

I should find out.

But I like sleeping.

I’m so tired.

Too comfortable.

I didn’t like sleeping on that hard floor.

It was dirty.

And it smelled funny.

Good thing Uncle Luke saved us.

Mom was really afraid.

But she wouldn’t let me get the spider.

We’re safe now.

I need to eat that popcorn.

Before someone else eats it.

But it’s stuck way under the couch.

Can I reach it?

I don’t want to get stuck again.

That was scary.

Maybe Uncle Luke put something good in my breakfast bowl.

Should I wake him up?

No, he’s too grumpy.

Stupid popcorn.

Wait, I got it!

Chomp, chomp, chomp.

Ooh, butter!

Mom, do you have more popcorn?

Why are you making that funny noise again?

Maybe there’s more popcorn in the kitchen.

Mom says I’m not supposed to be in the kitchen.

But this is Uncle Luke’s house.

He didn’t tell me to stay out of the kitchen .

No popcorn in my breakfast.

Rude, but okay.

I’m hungry.

Chomp, chomp, chomp.

Okay, so this is still pretty good.

Would be better with gravy.

Chomp, chomp, chomp.

Or pizza.

Chomp, chomp, chomp.

It’s all gone.

Why is it all gone?

What’s that sweet smell?

Oh!

Where’s that cookie?

I know Mom brought it with us.

Uh oh.

Mom’s snoring louder.

I should wake her up.

To make sure she’s okay.

And then she can share her cookie.

I’ll use my nose.

Press it right into her cheek.

Yeah, that should work.

Mom, wake up!
