Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 28, 2016

Absolutely perfect!

OMC. I don’t even know what to say, this is so wonderful.

OMC, magnificent. Well worth the ride fly extended wait. Sophie with her latest mustard-inspired creation, the July bug tying it all together for us, tabitha and sir fig finally getting some sleep, wicket with a group of retired forest folk, regaling them with his bombastic stories. One question, well, two: what is Tommy doing-us that a furrow from Wickets dive ? And, is Wicket now semi retired to Quinn farms ?

Love, too, the compassionate comment from. The Man, about the elderly owl having trouble hunting.

Just perfect, Georgia.

Uh, make that briefly extended wait. Darn auto correct.

Pucky stealing bacon ! Trevor listening to Bea tell of her adventures. Delightful.

That beautiful panel of all the rescued wild critters makes me so happy, too. Especially because I love opossums. :)

Gotta love Baba Mouse’s gardening job. I think Bea will help her anytime. Aside from some People, isn’t just about everyone in this episode? And is that Tillie & the Golden Mouse sleeping on the rocks?

So much here. You really outdid yourself. Loved it all, but especially loved the critter tea party!

I’ll bet Tommy, being an outdoor kitty, knows that the wooly worm/bear’s color patterns forecast the coming winter so he’s getting the scoop from the source.

Banner Elk, NC, has an annual wooly worm festival with a caterpillar race. The winner’s pattern determines the forecast.

I have never love a comic strip before but this one is so wonderful. OMC!

Georgia – were you a Patriot fan when you were in Boston?

Alright! I always love Tommy’s appearances!

Awww in every sense of the word. Awww and awesome. Too much to comment on. Georgia, your creativity and compassion for all living creatures is staggering. A wonderful ending and a wonderful way to end the old ways and start the new strips. Looking forward to it all!And ps. You painted this entire strip in 24 hours?!? A stunning achievement.

That was great! I have a few questions, are there boy mice?Did the mouse wearing the prickles die?A had a little trouble following the plot, so I’m going to go to your site for further enlightenment. I loe your cast of characters and everything is so pretty. Those mice need mouse-men so they can have lots of pinky mouse babies!

LOVED IT GEORGIA!!! mustard art work, elvis trying to get the interview, Beatrix with Trevor & Baba, the Porcupine, Tillie & The Golden Mouse, and of course BUZZY MOUSE!! I have read all of the comments on all sites and haven’t seen it asked yet, so guess I am the only one who doesn’t get what is around Elvis’ neck in the last panel????

Georgia, I am in awe of every single panel! Guess who will be buying a print of this? I’m so happy that we will be having daily cartoons.

Where I grew up in upstate New York, (very rural, lots of open spaces), we called them Wooly Bears and we used them to try to predict the harshness of the coming winters. Thanx Georgia for going daily and thank whoever was smart enough to recognize your talent and offer you this opportunity. Of course I am being selfish here as now I can get my BCN fix daily.

I am glad to see Wicket getting some decent treatment at last.

Don’t approve of even ghost cats consorting with mice.

This has been, and will continue to be, my favorite strip!

@ Georgia DunnFantastic story arc Georgia! Did you remember to breath? I am ready for daily chaotic fun adventures!

Georgia, congratulations on daily BCN! Your artwork and your imagination in creating all these wonderful story lines will one day very soon make Breaking Cat News as well known as Garfield, I just know it!!! On a side note, I just purchased a tank top with your Pile of Cats illustration on it; I can’t wait to wear it and promote BCN!

Happy. Triumphant. Love the series of vignettes at the end… like a curtain call for the cast of a play, the coda to a wonderful film. The huge assembly of carefully crafted characters, each contributing to the overall enchantment, makes me think of Robert Altman’s directorial stylings in “Nashville.” (It had over two dozen principal characters, every one unique and unforgettable.) For a while I’ve been thinking about how great comic tales are like great movies. But when a comic is the creation of one writer/artist, that individual is the costume designer, cinematographer, set decorator, lighting technician, scripter, director, the whole creative team in one. And especially, in the creation of the facial expressions and body language, the comic creator is acting every role, male, female, animal, human, ghost, spirit, hero, villain. Academy Awards all around! What a dazzling spectacle and (simultaneously) what an intimate story. Brava! And,P.S., I’m excited about the new direction you’re taking with the strip. I’d be especially happy if this leads to BCN appearing in newspapers.

We love the idea of daily strips, with a bigger special one on Sunday. Pogo and Calvin and Hobbes were our beloved ones. BCN will join our special list of honor. Thank you, Georgia. Hannah and David

I’m really glad to see the People again. And the baby isn’t a baby any more!

Wonderful!!!! First time I have shed tears over a comic strip – just love this!!!!

Is that Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle clapping? How did she make it across the Atlantic?

I love to view this strip on both Go Comics and the BCN home site, just to read all the different comments! PRRDH, I think hedgehogs are European in origin, but I have heard of some people keeping them as pets. Maybe when this old lady reached retirement age her people sent her to Quinn Farms. (Or, like the elderly gentleman cat in the Shelter Special, she outlived her human friend).

I’m so relieved! This did look like a wrap-up, and Steve Boreman just wrapped up Little Dog Lost, so I was a little anxious. Just a warning, Georgia: It’ll be YEARS before any of us are ready to let go. YEARS. and YEARS. and really long YEARS!!!

Georgia, the scene of the rescue picnic could be straight out of “Wind in the Willows”, still one of my favorite books.

I see that Wicket and the other bird are banded

Thank you, for bring me such joy! I am printing out some of your comments and placing then in to the new book (BCN) book I just bought.

i love how it went from just normal news to a all out showdown love the series purrrrfect job!!!!!

The transition was successful! You’ve reached a whole new group, and expanded the Orb significantly. Thanks for sharing your wonderful art with us!

In the panel with the mice, the horn that was full of the Golden Mouse’s ashes looks like an antique gunpowder horn, made from an oxen horn with metal and leather appointments. I know, because my Dad, who was a collector, had one. They were used to pour gunpowder into muzzle-loading rifles, which my Dad also had.
