Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
This marks the first time the name āJulesā has appeared in the comic for the July Bug! Readers named him years ago, and it felt time to make it proper canon! I figured maybe over the years his real name was lost to time and that animal-folks in Angusā generation would remember it. Now itās official!
I love Goldie (I think thatās Goldie anyway) taking detailed notes with her yellow #2 Ticonderoga pencil while the Robber Mouse follows along with rapt attention.
Rare Scottish toe beans on glass! Rare Scottish toe beans on glass! Oh, I should have created an acronym for them when they first occurred a few days ago. Then I could just say RSTBoG, and half of you would know what I meant, and the other half would be annoyed (Wink)
If Jules really is immortal, we donāt need to worry about him. Like in Forever, whenever Ioan Griffudd (had to look that one up) was killed he always came back (naked!). Did anyone else watch that show? I was so sad when it was cancelled.
Trevor-Hotep: Thanks for coming so quickly, ladies. I donāt know how you managed it
Alice-Ata: And weāll never tell.
Trevor-Hotep: Fair enough. What happened is that Paser-Jules picked a Space-Time Anemone by accident (I think). Now heās somewhere in the Space-Time Continuum.
Violet-Ifa: Oh bother. Nothing like an inexperienced time traveler.
Ta-Natash: Not to worry. This isnāt the first time Iāve had to rescue an errant time traveler.
Alice-Ata: But there may be rips in the Fabric of Space and Time. Youād better get Sophititi and Maat-Tilda to make repairs.
Iām a little worried, especially for Mags. We know what kind of trouble Jules enjoys. If heās looking forward to what comes next, how much chaos is about to ensue? This might make Lupinās antics look staid by comparison!
PROOF THE VILE RACCOONS ARE WARMONGERS! It sounded yesterday like she caught Jules in vile raccoon territory and was transporting him across the DMZ as her excuse to be in the DMZ herself, accusing him of being a possum spy. But now sheās claiming he must face vile raccoon judgement, sounds like she crossed the DMZ into possum territory just to capture poor Jules so he could be accused of spying just so the vile raccoons can further perssecute the possums. And now she wants to start a war with the noble outdoor cats (and all cats)

Wow! Even when barely out of kittenhood, you do not want to get one Mouseās bad side! āYou WISH we cared -ā Withering!

I really hope Mouse can save Jules, because I doubt heāll get a fair trial in Raccoon Court ā¦

At this stage of the story, Jules seems to be doomed. Weāll need a āAt a single bound, Jules was free.ā

Cats are not above fighting. Theyāre above caring enough to become involved. Usually.
FreyjaRN Premium Member over 3 years ago
Mouse is right; cats donāt care, so they donāt bother with spies. Why would those who were worshipped as gods care?
ikini Premium Member over 3 years ago
That āpaw, paw, pawā gets me right in the feels! Also, Angus toe beans!

Beatrix looks so adorable, fluffy poly paws to her face, wide-eyed with wonder and delight.
What a contrast to the evil trash demon in the next panel! OMC, Mag earned that description there!

Are you paranoid if they really are after you?

When we begin to look through old photos and paintings of history, we see this little unnamed July-bugā¦
Sitting on the window sill of Watergate hotel and office complex on June 17, 1972
At Hyannis Port, sitting on a chez lounge chair with a young President and his family
Buzzing through Times Square on VE day,
Outside the Stock Exchange on October 24, 1929,
On the handrail of the Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865
In a very warm room at the Pennsylvania State House, July 4th, 1776

BTW, Georgia, I absolutely LOVE the way the comic looks now that youāve gone back to hand-coloring/writing them! They look beautiful!
SunflowerGirl100 over 3 years ago
I love how Jules is watching himself (or his great, great, great etc grandpa) and saying āI love this part.ā
Arianne over 3 years ago
Iām glad those glowing red eyes and jagged teeth donāt phase Mouse, ācause theyāre fweaking me out, man!
Evil trash demon! Be gone!

Heās caught in a jar
He canāt get out
Because that lid is on tight, baby
Why canāt Mag see
What sheās done to Jul-ee
Why canāt she set that trapped bug free?
We canāt help condemning
Her suspicious mind (her suspicious mind)
And Mag canāt keep Jules jarred
In a way totes unki-ind
Heās got an old friend, we know
Angus wants Jules let go
Thereās no need for suspicion in Magās eyes
Here we go again
Asking for a friend
Jules should be flying, he wasnāt spying
(Yes, not spying)
He canāt be trapped forever
By a suspicious mind (suspicious mind)
And he canāt live out his dreams
While heās so confined
Oh, let that bug spin-dive, oh no
(Yeah, and what the heck
How does he rock that scarf
Without a neck?)

I want to know about Mouseās collar tag, it looks special and I wonder if she still has that too.
