Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 20, 2017
Transcript:
Angora: Father? Snowball: Angora? Angora: Yes! It's me, Father! Are you ill because of me? Snowball: My dear girl... Yes. Angora: How could I be so selfish? I knew father's heart was poor! Give it to us straight, Dr. Mittens. Dr. Mittens: Your father is dying of a broken heart. Brought on by acute disappointment. Princess: Oh, for cat's sake... Brad: Hello, I was told this is where I could find my business partner's deathbed? Snowball: Brad my boy! -Cough-, is that you? I can barely see or hear, I'm just so ill- Brad: Yes, Mr. Taggart, I'm here for you. And Angora... Dr. Mittens: Speaking of which, Princess, I hear you're totally a widow now. Princess: Inappropriate. "Meanwhile" Captain Nimble: Kittens! It's a letter from your mother! Kit must have come through! Snowball: Save these for my funeral! Kit: How can a poor cat of the streets, master of disguise, amateur mandolin player ever compete with Brad? Elvis: Are you guys watching that insipid "Our IX Lives"? Puck: I wouldn't call the triumphs and tragedies of an entire town insipid, Elvis. Robber Mouse: We'll get through this, Kit. Elvis: Viego Gato isn't real! Puck: Yes, it is! In my heart. Robber Mouse: Yeah!

T-minus 7 days! One week to BCN’s pulp-and-pigment debut!
Georgia, you’re still lurking here, right? Can you tell us which newspapers have picked up the strip?

“Real in your heart” means “not real, just kidding yourself”. Elvis is right. It is just insipid mush.
(But surely being an amateur mandolin player and master of disguise would more than compensate for not having a white moustache.
Not that I care.)

Kit, of course you can compete against him! You are a thousand times better than THAT GUY BRAD!

Just noticed the ‘Hospital bed’ is a cat bed.

Better than any soap opera on TV these days.

The soap that unites diversities, like mice and cat (mices and cats?) Especially like (Alice?) mouse kissing screen!

Father is milking it.
After all, we all know how much cats like milk.

Don’t most cats prefer wildlife documentaries? Preferable documentaries with lots of birds in them? I had one years ago who’d try to get in the t.v. when one came on. When it was clear she couldn’t get in the front, she’d walk around to the back and start scratching at it.

For our newer readers this is some back story on the Christmas special which ran in December. I can’t believe that Kit is less than a fully competent mandolin player.

I love Dr. Mittens’ imperial conditioning mark! Sadly, we know that the conditioning can be overcome, given sufficient motivation. Dr. Yueh could because he hated the Harkonens for killing his wife. Dr. Mittens could because, well . . . I guess because he’s just a sleezy jerk? I don’t know. Will we get backstories for the Our IX Lives characters?
Of course, I don’t really care, not liking or caring (in the least) about soap operas. I’m with Robin Harwood on this one. Yep, definitely doesn’t matter if Georgia ever gives us back stories on the cat soap opera characters. Soon. Like maybe when the new strips start? But it would just be a waste of time, telling us about them. I probably wouldn’t even waste time reading it, but maybe Other People would be interested. Soon, right?
