Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 24, 2020

The little girls face in the last panel. Priceless.

Uh ohhhhh. Someone didn’t consult the kiddies before making a change to his appearance. The kitties, on the other hand, seem to be egging him on.

I guess Puck has reached an accord with his mortal enemy, the robosnake. (Much to the Man’s relief, I’m sure!)

Okay, this is going to sound nitpick-y, but isn’t the man shaving off his beard? and keeping his ’stache?

Jim Croce lives!

Happened just the other day….”♫

Disney prince chin, indeed! And the horrified Girl rejecting the father imposter she sees before her.♥

When I went to contacts, my dogs freaked out about it. Surprising since they are more about scent than visuals. My St. Bernard showed his displeasure for years by leaving a nose print on my glasses. Afterwards, he very careful stuck his nose toward my eye.

A blade shooting lasers would be cool.

Who is this guy?

I used to have a beard and stache. Got tired of the beard but still had a droopy stache. Kept cutting it back over a couple years, then I realized I looked like a cop. So clean shaven again.

First the Man loses his tail, and now this… Is there no end to these radical changes in appearance?

I wish he would grow his tail back.

SUNDAY FUNDAY TIME

Is the girl swiping left?

Goldie approves.

Personally, I’m with the kids.

And Elvis.

Oh, hubby just said of the girl “She looks like she’s trying to get rid of it with an app .. SWIPE!” LOL!

I remember when I was about five my dad – who had worn a mustache throughout my entire life – came downstairs having shaved it off. He managed to convince me for what seemed like a long time that he was actually a different person called ‘Uncle Bob’.

To beard or not to beard, that is the question.

The girl toddler does not seem pleased while Goldie seems quite happy. I like the Super Mario reference, surprised there was not a Tom Selleck one thrown in for good measure…..

Can’t decide which part is my favorite in this strip: the Woman’s jaw clip holding the towel…ROFL! Burt’s comment “with an R, dude,” which I plan to work into conversation ALL day long. Or the Girl’s swipe, which is clearly a cat claw swipe! (Picture it with a hiss). So many choices! LOVE it!!

Or “not enough cowboy.” Who else shouted, “More cowbell!…er, cowboy”?

One of my cats used to get right in my face and start licking my beard. She obviously thought it needed grooming. And she’d get upset when I shaved it off.

The Girl is displaying her “Snowball Taggart” face. She is Not. Pleased.

With a Pucky chart and pointer, today is a good day.

Careful with that can of shaving cream, Puck. I’m having visions of you stepping on the nozzle …

The Girl just swiped at him like a little kitten. :)

mmm Sam Elliott (lucky Katharine Ross)

Most of Burt’s broadcast crawl’s are accompanied with an eye-roll by the engineer, I am sure.

The Girl’s face says “Nope, nope, nope!”

Elvis isn’t that far off. Laser hair removal is a real thing.

He’s saying “laser” instead of razor because of his Siamese accent, right?

I salute Puck’s careful journalistic objectivity.

How can people be so hairless

How can people be so uncool

Easy to be bald

Easy to catch cold

How can people think it’s appealing

How can they ignore split ends

Easy to confound

Easy to let hair go

Especially people who dislike changes

Who care about evil and social distance

Do you not care about your own crowd

How about those you offend, they need amends

[Easy to Be Hard – Three Dog Night]

A Mario mustache would be awesome, though. Don’t deny it.

All this talk about “mouse stashes” makes me miss the robber ladies even more!

Ahhh – You think you used enough shaving cream there Man?!?

OMC! The fuzzy blanket is available in the Zazzle shop along with some new t-shirts. Here’s the link to Georgia’s Instagram announcement. The link to the Zazzle shop is at the bottom of this page.

I saw a video wherein a man shaved off his full-face beard. His baby daughter howled at first sight.

The world may come to an end – Goldie and Lupin are agreeing on something!

OT: Paul

Paul had a rough day yesterday after his outing on Friday, and spent the day in bed. It looks like he may do that again today.

What is on the man’s shoulder in the third panel?

Kids today wouldn’t recognize Sam Elliot if they see him, Super Mario on the other hand…

The Hubs grew a beard and moustache for our Church’s “Last Supper” reenactment at the Maundy Thursday service. Our 2-yr-old was cool with it. Daddy was Fuzzy Face, she was Peachy Face and her beloved Patches cat, was Furry Face. Aftewards, Hubs decided that was not his thing, he prefered clean-shaven and she watched him clip and shave it all off his face. THEN she decided she didn’t like it and told him to put it back on!!!

Every time the man loses some hair, I want to swipe at him too! My man still has his tail (thank goodness) but the whiskers and beard are seasonal (boo! hiss!). I love beards and mustaches!

The dude abides.

Goldie and Lupin sure seem to like the Sam Elliot look. Something in common? I sense a beautiful friendship on the horizon.

I tried to let the quarantine beard grow in – mostly out of laziness (hey, I’m not going anywhere) – but have discovered that I apparently have several bald spots around my chin. I’m capable of growing just a mustache, but apparently it is too evocative of the Boy’s sperm donor for his mother’s liking.

Personally, I favor a well-trained handlebar with just an occasional touch of wax…

I love Puck’s charts.

Can Georgia see the follower count for this comic? If so, I would like to know the number of followers.

When children see a sudden change in a parent’s appearance, they find it frightening and disturbing. I can remember feeling that way the time Mom dyed her hair.

Anyone else remember the Star Trek: Next Generation scene where Crusher is commenting on beard being an affectation (if they would only admit it’s just a fashion thing) and betting the guys that if she wins the poker hand, they’ll shave their beards?

Nooo!!! I loved the beard!! However, it IS Georgia’s opinion that counts! Glad you love it!

OT: How to Groom a World-Champion Beard In A Pandemic

If I could rock a Sam Elliot ‘stache I would probably have to have it trimmed professionally, under SwMBO’s supervision, lest I do it harm.

Looks like 1980’s John Oates

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: It has come to our attention that there seems to be a problem with date palm trees. To you, Beatrixia.

Beatrixia: Word has it we need to “Save the dates.” Puckmosis how are dates used?

Puckmosis: Elvis-Anum, please bring out the chart, thanks. As you can see, figs are a healthy fruit that is often found wrapped in a delicious pastry dough. Our Royal Herald is especially knowledgeable about this.

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Perhaps Burt-Ra and Trevor-Hotep can provide some more insight on this situation.

Enter Burt-Ra and Trevor-Hotep

Burt-Ra: Your Majesty, there appears to be some misunderstanding. The noble Steed Avenger can explain.

Avenger: Yes, Your Majesty. The announcement is not save the date, but as written here:

Save the Date

Emma-Pelia and Noble Steed John Avenger

Announce their upcoming wedding!

“A good mustache doesn’t need a supporting cast.” Beau Bennett (Sam Elliot) The Ranch.

Today is Tiara Day. Tiara Boom Deyay! Tiara Boom Deyay! Tiara Boom Deyay!

1. a jeweled ornamental band worn on the front of a woman’s hair.2. a high diadem of three crowns worn by the Pope.3. a crown-turban worn by ancient Persian kings, also called a diadem.

Did you know that there is a species of monkey called “diademed monkey,” Cercopithecus mitis, family Cercopithecidae, also called a samango, that name derived from the Zulu insimango. Seen face on, the monkey’s brow ridge appears to be a head-ring, the emblem of a veteran Zulu warrior.

“So what is the “tiara” of a Zulu warrior made from?" you foolishly ask.

His hair and cow dung. The dung is applied moist, formed, and dries in the sun. One has to be very tough to be a Zulu warrior, and not the least bit squeamish.

I think the Man looks pretty nice.

So Disney prince chins are extremely cheesy, good to know.

Mmmmmm… Sam Elliott!

OT: I am asking for prayers, purrs and good thoughts. My mom just called and my dad is in the hospital. He fell and it sounds pretty bad. They are taking him to a bigger hospital right now. I was just at my parents yesterday and sat outside with my mom and talked to her a bit. My dad who has dementia and doesn’t really do much didn’t come out and I didn’t go in to see him because I thought I was going to see him tomorrow. That is the worst part of all this, not seeing my parents as much as I normally do.

My son, an RN, had to shave his beard so the N95’s would fit better. He took it all off, including upper lip. I hadn’t seen his chin cleft for years.

The Girl is batting.

I see the Girl has learned well from the cats on how to swipe.

The question is, does his mustache dance like Sam Elliott’s in the superbowl commercial for cool ranch doritos?

Funny, I just recently watched a YouTube video of kids reacting to their fathers after they shaved their beards off. Most of the kids cried, some probably thinking he was a stranger.

Wow … quite a new look for the Man. Wonder if he’ll stick with it?

I can kinda relate to the shaving debate, too. A few months ago, my dad shaved off the mustache he’d had for fifty-plus years. He doesn’t look dramatically different now since the ‘stache was so short, but it’s a substantial change, nonetheless.

Having drawn the girls negative reaction to the beard, does that mean Georgia doesn’t like it either?

I had the same reaction from my pre-teen daughter when I shaved off my beard. It took a while for her to get used to dad with just the handlebar mustache.

Don’t look now but Lupin and Goldie both seem to like the new look.

The Girl has taken lessons from Lupin about how to bat and swot.

OT: At my daughter’s house,

I mean, Elvis isn’t wrong

During the lock-downs I had a friend that quite shaving. Turns out he was a VERY hairy man and within a couple months had an amazingly full beard. By the time he had to shave it it was below his chest. During this time his daughter was born. On the morning he shaved it she screamed and cried at the sight of this now clean-shaved person pretending to be her dad. It took a few days before she accepted him.
