Well, our hopes were dashed. We thought that after Grumpy Cat received a “some assembly required” dog house — it wasn’t ever for her! — the next day of Christmas would surely bring her something nice. Nope. Just a calendar from an annoying kitty.

With the help of Dynamite Comics, we are celebrating the twelve days of Christmas Grumpy Cat leading up to December 25. In today’s strip, little grumps is certain the annoyingly happy Tiddles — the kitty next door — will get her yet another crappy gift. Surprise, surprise:

Yeah, why would anyone want a Hello Kitty knockoff? You know what you get for sending a gift like that, right Tiddles? Coal. That’s right, Grumpy has a dark side, and that means that if you won’t be thoughtful enough to get her some tuna or nip, you’re getting a lump of dead, compressed plant and animal matter.

Tomorrow is the last day of our Grumpy Cat Christmas comic special, and we are certain she is finally going to get a present that she actually wants — we probably won’t get a smile though. Why smile when you know that life, a maelstrom of confusion and contradiction, is nothing more than a few trillion pieces of biological machinery that happens to be you, that happens to be stuck in traffic, that happens to fall out of touch with a childhood friend? Jeez Grumpy, lay off the Nietzsche am I right?

What would you get this grumpy little face? Let us know in the comments below.
