Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 03, 2018

There he is, finally! Welcome strange new cat in the back yard who will remain nameless for the sake of new readers, if there are any new readers here.

YAY!!! Anyone who doesn’t recognize this handsome dude, trust me, he is wonderful, and just THE START!!:-)

Nice to see you again, Burt!

Yay! Strange New Cat who old readers know and whose calming presence is always welcome! Our wait is over. :D

I was kind of hoping to see this today. Looking forward to this story arch.

Whoa there Elvis, settle down – don’t see Tommy panicking over the new stranger now do you (wink, wink, nudge, nudge for us long time readers)

Love Lupin restraining Elvis from having a conniption … or should that be catniption :) And I see that Georgia Dunn woman is leaving notes on the news desk now

And this means, I hope, that we’re only about a month away from the heartwarming (and spooky) saga of Millie and Tillie! (I will say NOTHING MORE about that!)

BURT!

OMC! I’m literally heard this paw smash on the table! And this roar from Elvis! OMC!

Elvis about to nuclear poof at the appearance of the bonny lad from the barn! ✨❤️❤️❤️❤️✨

And to continue the BCN playlist I started months ago…

“Ladies Love Country Boys” by Trace Atkins- Burt

”He’s got a better Thermos bottle than we do!”

BURT!!!!!! At last!! Squeeee! :D

Burt, huh? I do not know this arc- or the good cat- but from the reactions I’d say it’s going to be a fun ride. And is it my imagination, or is his tail plaid? Naw… must just be the light… ;{-)>

The stream of four letter (and more) words that now were flying out of the cab of that truck would probably have embarrassed Kip. “Well, he certainly looks like he’s going to make good time..” Tre-C said with a snicker. “I don’t feel good about this but it had to be done. He’s completely innocent, but we’re probably going to ruin his day,” Megan said with a sigh; “C’mon- follow me. And bring that roll of tape.” The two cats were now in full-on rescue mode, Megan electing to take a ‘short cut’ through the back wall of a nearby garage. “Remember your focus, Kitten. And just so you know, this stream’s going to be harder for you to get out of than to get in. But I’ve been to the yard before and I know how to “lock it in’, so to speak.” Tre-C wanted Megan to know she understood; “No real individual scent to lock onto, just a ton of them combined. And since I’ve never been there, I have no reference point to draw to. I got it…” So down a nondescript alley, left at the intersection, then a quick right- into a wall- leading into the disorienting nothingness that was what Megan called the Slipstream.

Spoiler Alert!!

Here comes the AV cat!

OMC! It’s the intro of…….! Can I say his name?!? Well, it begins with a “B”…..!

Easy Elvis – down boy. Calm yourself.

Tommy’s got a natty windbreaker over his Hawaiian shirt. The color looks good against the falling leaves and with his bowtie.

Halloween draws near… Enter Burt!

Panels one and four look to me like Elvis is practicing The Woman’s signature. (Note to The Woman: Hide your checkbook and don’t let Elvis near any unsigned contracts.)

Elvis is in protection mode.

I wonder if there was the tiniest ‘BANG’ as Elvis’ ears went supersonic on their way back….

L.O.L!

Autumn has made its appearance! BCN is true to the calendar (at least for meteorological fall).

Oh, I can just smell the wood smoke and coffee!

BURT!!!! But…if we’re just now meeting him…who’s been doing the awesome ticker comments?

and the new cat is on “our” fence! the nerve!

Yay!!! Welcome back Burt!!!

And our Adventuring team is complete! Even if Elvis doesn’t know it.

Let the Rollcall of Heroes be announced!

Elvis, the Oath of the Crown Lawful Neutral Paladin (His specific loyalty being to Queen Woman and Princess Baby)

Lupin, Chaotic Good(ish) Arcane Trickster Rogue

Puck, Neutral Good Life Domain Cleric

Tommy, Chaotic Good Land Druid

Burt, True Neutral (with Good tendencies) Artificer Wizard

May their adventures always be successful and filled with treats for they are all Good Boys!

Uh-oh. We know that look.

Get your ears back up, kid.

What would be a cat’s favorite thermos warm beverage?

Just say “Burt” … I’m surprised that Elvis isnt all poofy. YET

I love how a few autumn leaves are falling and Tommy’s got on a light cardigan over his Hawaiian shirt. I can feel the crispness (and adventure) in the air!

I just noticed that Elvis is left pawed.

I know I’ve been absent for a while, (stupid work interfering with my comics time) but I wanted to share a bit of good news. Dee, the kitten I brought home from the colony, is doing well. She’s still having issues with her lungs, so I took her to a different vet Friday for another opinion. Turns out that she is not completely deaf – she has a secondary infection in her ears that has swollen her ear canals mostly shut. After just three doses of her new medication, she actually turns her head when I call her name & swivels her ears in response to some sounds! The vet believes that she will still have some hearing loss, but nowhere near as much as we thought. She is partially blind, though, especially in her left eye. Nothing slows her down, though.

Welcome Burt!

Burt. About time.

Elvis explosion in….3..2…1….

Last panel Elvis is priceless!!!

So handsome…

DUN DA DUUUUHN!

Hey Hey Hey!!! Be sure to put SPOILER ALERT in your posts if you plan to blab. Some of us have never seen any of these before.

Something tartan this way comes. Enter a wonderful new character, let the fun begin.

Good afternoon, orbsters and orbabies. I’m back after 10 wonderful days at the cabin. Paul and I had a wonderful time. He got a lot of rest and is eating solid food again – not necessarily big portions, but he is eating! He went fishing with my father-in-law and caught a fish we are having for dinner tonight!

Gads, the guys are so cute. This strip brings joy to my heart on a daily basis. I look for the Gocomics page first thing in the morning and check it throughout the day to read the comments. I just read that…is sounds like I don’t have much of a life. But I really do.

My very own ginger is right here with me! Just not with the same outdoor style! My Sim has more of an Elvis demeanour.

Hello, Burt! Bless your orange fuzziness! a cat with a job!

I love this SO much! I’ve gotten to the point where I have 3 tabs dedicated to reading BCN. One for reading the strip and then on to the comments, another where I end up just having the strip so I can reference it when folks talk about the art (I used to scroll back up to look, but there are always so many comments that I got tired of losing my place!) and then a 3rd so I can go look up references to older strips, pics or youtube videos! You gotta love the depth and richness of the BCN experience! Thanks Georgia and the ORB!

Yay Burt!

Oh MY! I just went to the website and found the Halloween Special series and it was wonderful! Thank you, Georgia!

What a wonderful way to end the day! (Didn’t have time before now.)

And there goes Angry Fussy Paws again. :D

BURT BOI
