Transcript:
Elvis: There, see? I moved all the coats, no ham!
Puck: No ham in the nursery.
Tommy: No ham outside.
Puck: We need evidence. Let's return to the scene of the crime.
Lupin: The ham-icide...
They should check to see if the oven is on – as in the ham was put in the oven to keep it warm – and also safe from Puck.Reading this strip each day drove me to eat a ham and cheese sandwich and now I want more ham!
Pengo the Penguin ! So cute. Elvis with his tapping paw and twitching tail-he does not care to be suspected, too responsible and duty bound. Why can’t Tommy come to the party ? We know he has established a separate peace with The Boys, and he is properly dressed, unlike some white cats I could name…
Say, I know I’m a little behind the times comment-wise, but I am a long time reader of BCN. I have been to George’s website before, and isn’t she a professional children’s book illustrator? I sort of thought that she made money doing that kind of thing. She should keep trying to get that kind of work, and she shouldn’t have any trouble, with her immense talent.
… I meant to say Georgia. I often use my iPad to dictate function, and it doesn’t always interpret things precisely enough before I hit the send button.
Georgia, have you considered Patreon? There are so many of us who love your work (I bought your book and just keep rereading it until you make me another). It would be an honor to sponsor your work. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. I see here and at your website just how beloved you and BCN are!
I have some good news, and then some bad news, and then some good news!
The first good news: The Man just accepted a job offer in Washington state, and we are moving back to Washington in a few weeks! Many of you know this has been a big goal of ours. We hoped to move back to Washington before the kids were in school, and I am so happy we have this opportunity. It’s a position at a company the Man absolutely loves, and we’re ecstatic. I am so proud of him!
The bad news: If you’ve been reading for a while, you already know what is coming. Yes, I have to take a break for a few months. I’m so sorry. The dinner party mystery should be wrapping up late next week, and then I will begin the break because we’re leaving in two weeks, and that is a lot of packing and unpacking and settling and settling the kids and the cats and ourselves.
The great news: I had to take a break this autumn anyway; this is incredible timing. My editor and I are getting ready to hammer out all of the BCN strips we’re going to use to pitch the comic to newspapers. The plan is to have the comic ready to launch into newspapers this winter/early spring.
After we settle into Washington in a couple of months, I may be able to share some sketches and some inked rough draft strips and other behind the scenes sneak peeks during the newspaper-pitch-process!
I’m going to be unreachable for a little while, as I throw myself into packing and preparing and settling the kids and the cats after the move. I’ll do my best to share some photos and updates when I can. In the meantime, all of the archives of ‘Breaking Cat News’ will still be on the original site and GoComics!
I hope you understand, and there will be so much cat news in the future. Online and in the papers too, with a lot of hard work and some good luck too!
For now, I have to post this, and literally start taping up boxes and filling them with EVERYTHING I CAN GRAB. Lupin is excited, Elvis is annoyed, and in the time I took to write this Baby began sneaking Pucky some of her lunch. With any luck the boys will all be climbing box piles shortly!
@Georgia Seems like you just got settled! Hope you can take the big red couch with you! Looks like things are moving in the right direction for you and your family!! You know we’ll all wait.

I love Lupin’s little fang in the last panel almost as much as I love his pun! Dinner party equals dinner guests equals missing ham equals hamicide!

I’m hoping none of the coat owners mind that their coats will be covered in cat hair when they leave.

Elvis still so indignant that he should be suspected. are we sure about the girls, they looked a little toooooo innocent?
Clearstream over 8 years ago
IDK why, but my favorite drawing in this entire thing is Elvis’s tapping foot…but anyway, my suspect is still Elvis or the people because they ate it.

Is Lupin suddenly channeling Bucky Katt?
mistercatworks over 8 years ago
You must have put in a lot of “back bacon” work on those ham puns.
