The House of Magic Page #2

It's a big scary world

out there, isn't it?

Well, you don't have to

worry any more, little fella.

We'll keep each other company.

What shall we call you?

Whoa! That's it?

Thunder!

Thunder, this is your new family!

New family? Give me a break.

A squatter is what he is.

Old Jack here can be a

bit grumpy sometimes,

68th in a litter of 70.

I'm sure he'll warm up to you.

Don't count on it.

And this is little Maggie.

Jack's indispensable companion.

Those two are Carlo and Carla,

our resident lovebirds.

Look how cute he is, no?

I don't like cats.

You are cute.

No, gorgeous, bellissima!

Mi amore.

- Don't stop.

- All right, everyone,

let's give a warm welcome to the

newest member of our family.

I once performed for

the King of Brunei!

Oh, yes. The trick was called...

...The Embodiment of Princess Khan.

Oh, those were

wonderful times, Thunder,

wonderful times to be a magician.

- Psst. Hey, you, thunder pants.

- Huh?

Hi, Jack. Hi, Maggie.

Lose the niceties, buster.

- What do you mean?

- Can it.

You must think you've

hit the catnip jackpot.

We know what you're up to.

I'm not up to anything.

Look, pal, we've been with

Lawrence for a long time.

We're not about to let you meow

yourself in here and take over.

I'm not trying to...

Oh. Oh.

...take over.

All right, here's the deal.

Be gone by sunrise or find

yourself in a position

you won't be able to

purr your way out of.

But he said I could stay,

be a part of the family.

He even gave me a new name.

Oh, yeah.

Thunder, boom boom, some name.

This isn't up for discussion.

Like we told you,

our house is off limits to outsiders.

Consider this a one-night stand.

How we doin', guys?

Oop. Pass, kick, goal!

Jack!

Fur ball's still here!

And that's my bowl!

Hey!

Just in time, my friend.

We're running late this morning.

- You just don't get it, do you?

- You crossed the line.

I don't understand.

Isn't he the boss here?

Not as far as you're concerned.

I'll deal with you when I get back.

Sorry, Thunder, not today.

Hey, where are they going?

No, Thunder. You have to stay here,

look after the house.

Hey, look what I have for you.

Oh, why not?

I think I have an idea.

Good morning, everyone!

Good morning, Mr Lawrence!

So, Izzy. Can you give me your money?

I don't have any money.

What do you mean you don't have any?

Of course you do.

Great. How many times are

you going to do that trick?

Oh, I guess you're right, Dylan.

Let's see what else I have here.

Hey, kids, who can tell me what

other tricks a magician performs?

I know. He pulls a

rabbit from his hat.

Absolutely right, Izzy.

This trick requires

complete concentration.

Abracadabra!
