My mom had a cat once that had a bell attached to his collar to warn birds nearby. However, he managed to learn how to silence the bell so it never jingled while he was doing stealthy stuff. And sure, Mr. Sprinkles could do that, but he'd rather use the bells to his advantage.
Text version of today's comic for screen readers
Panel 1: Melanie is surprised by Mr. Sprinkles suddenly appearing at the top of a door as she tries to open it.
Melanie: "WAUGH!"
Sound FX: Pounce!
Panel 2: Melanie is clutching her chest with one hand as she tries to catch her breath, a horrified expression on her face. Mr. Sprinkles' tail can be seen as he jumps down the other side of the door. Andrea looks at Melanie with a concerned expression.
Melanie: "Geez Andrea, someone should put a bell on Mr. Sprinkles!"
Sound FX of Mr. Sprinkles leaving: ZIIIP!
Sound FX of Melanie: Huff Huff
Andrea: "We tried Melanie, but they always disappear!"
Panel 3: Melanie is suddenly happy upon being distracted by a jingling sound outside. Andrea looks inquisitive and Kay is excitedly flying to the door with a stack of dollar bills in one of her hands behind her.
Sound FX, musical tone: Jingle jingle jingle
Andrea: "I wonder what happened to all of the bells?"
Melanie: "OOH, the ice cream truck!"
Kay: "Yay! Ice cream cookies!"
Panel 4: Melanie and Kay are standing in the doorway of the front door, with disappointed and distressed expressions. Meanwhile, Mr. Sprinkles is hiding behind one of the bushes nearby, holding a large jar of bells and a mischeivious grin on his face.
Melanie: "...What? But I just heard it! This is the third time today we've missed it!"
Kay: "Aww."
Mr. Sprinkles: "Puuuuuuurr...."
