Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 29, 2021

And that’s how we earned our striped shirts and masks!

Well, of course! After all they are the Robber Mice Gang!

The lab techs are getting out of Dodge just as fast as they can!

I love the dandelions!

Also, glad the lab techs survived and are leaving Grimtech!

Aww, so happy mice!!

I hope the lab techs did open a tabletop games store, and that it’s still here in the area, hopefully doing well! (Bring on the DICE! Mmmmm…sparkly math rocks…)

Happy HEALTHY bunnies!

That second panel is kind of like a quad version of the old Patty Duke Show!

I love a happy ending. Happy endings for all: mice, bunnies, and lab techs

Best origin story ever.

Yeah! I love a happy ending for everyone except the carrots and the Quinns.

Hippity hoppity here thy comeBig red eyes lookin’ for funIf you kiss ’em look out for the tongueZom-bunnies on the looseZom-bunnies on the loose.

Taken from Fred Small. Hot frogs on the loose.

Thieves, yes. And they are a bit rubenesque

If this were a musical, the rabbits would break out in a tune by the great reggaeton artist Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio AKA Bad Bunny.

Sniff! Gotta love a happy ending!

OT: Wordscapes

Yay, what a great ending! Since we have one more day for the weekly arc, I wonder what the gang is going to do for an encore! Also, I can not wait until Sunday to see that other gang from RCO make an appearance in the attic of The Big Pink House!

Tabletop Games were doomed long ago, when Pong was released.

It’s not the worst career change to make.

O.T. – Wayne cancer update. Wayne’s S.O. called to say the test results finally came back and the cancer has not spread anywhere else! His surgery to remove the cancer is scheduled for Nov 9th and then he’ll have to have a 2nd surgery to reconstruct. They thank everyone who prayed and sent good wishes.

The gang’s all here.

John Lennon might say It’s Just Like Starting Over

Lab Techs: This job’s not worth it

Science just isn’t worth it

Just want to groan

Don’t want to renew my contract

Let’s take a chance and open a store

Of our own!

…….

Bunnies: We no longer feel the rage

Just glad to get out of that cage, so quickly

But when we see the carrots

It’s like we haven’t eaten, in a long time,

It’ll be just like starting over

Starting over

…….

Robber Mice: Everyday we’re gonna take

What we want, for goodness’ sake, it’s easy

So guard your wheels of cheese,

To take them will be a breeze, my friends

Now we’re all starting over

Starting over!

…….

All: Why don’t we all just do our thing

Sell our favorite games or grow a garden

We’ll be together, all of our friends

It’s the dawning of a brand-new day!

It’s ending well, now!

…….

All: Feels like we were all in a cage,

Our lives are at a brand-new stage, so wonderful

We have our friends and family

And so many brand-new chances

A new beginning!

It’ll be just like starting over

Starting over

…….

Our time together, is so precious together,

We’re all friends, we’re all friends

And having friends is special, let’s take a chance and do our thing

Right now!

Starting over (over and over and over)

(And over and over and over)….

Told ya they’d stumble upon a carrot patch ;p

A happy conclusion to our story. I wonder if the bunnies will make future appearances in the comic.

Where have all the carrots gone?

Long time passing.

Where have all the carrots gone?

Long time ago.

Where have all the carrots gone?

Rabbits have munched them every one.

Oh, When will they ever curb?

Oh boy, did you hear them burp?

Kitty update the 2 kittys have found wonderful homes and will be leaving shortly have an amazing day everyone

Happy ending!

Beatrix deserves an award for such in-depth reporting!!!!! What a tale to uncover.

And they lived happily ever after! Now back to our beloved cats, please.

So many bunny rabbits. I don’t has to worries about shortages in lockdown anymo…er.. I means how cute they is.

So many bunny rabbits. Someone’s going to be HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY today!

YAY! Just so happy with this. Truly. Thanks, Georgia, for a great story arc.

Actually, this story arc/origin story has helped me to better remember the names of the Robber Mice.

Happy rabbits, happy mice, happy endings..

It’s been a long ride, but I’m glad everyone has escaped from Grimtech … lab assistants included!

This concludes the rvieting tale of Natasha the White and Bilbo Alice Baggins in the Hoppits. The Company of Mice escabed from Mt Doom and Grimtech with the Urakai Zombunnies.

With time and love, and borrowed carrots from Quinn Farms, the Zombunnies returned to their normal hoppity selves. The company would survive and thrive.

Have a Happy National Cat Day everyone

Judging from the last panel, they’ve been pretty thick thieves as well.

I really enjoyed this arc. Fun stuff! :D

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Thomios, have you made preparations for our Bunny visitors?

Thomios: I have, Your Majesty. We will start with a carrot soup, then a variety of salad greens, and Lupinium is bringing dried grass, a favorite of rabbits in the wild.

Enter Lupinium

The Queen: What do you have there, Lupinium?

Lupinium: Hay, hay, hay!

The Queen: Very good. Now, Thomios, what do you have planned for the dessert?

Thomios: I have a variety of carrot desserts, including my famous Kibble Karrot Kake. Loved by cats and bunnies alike!

Enter Puckmosis

Puckmosis: Your Majesty, I am happy to report that Trevor-Hotep has had an amazing harvest of 24 Karat Carrots. Looks like we’re golden.

The Queen: Looks like all is set. I wonder if we’ll ever learn how the Royal Procurers became friendly with the Rabbits.

Enter the Royal Procurers

Royal Procurers: We’ll never tell!

Tabletop game store. Ha! I love it.

… and they crimed happily ever after.

The “thieves” part being fairly literal. ;)

What a wonderful story!

We need more game stores.

Thick AND thieves

A happy ending—excerpt for Farmer Quinn. He spent a year TNRing rabbits.

Dungeon Master John Lennon Lookalike: " . . . and they descend on you like a thousand whispery butterfly wings. Roll for resistance."

And that’s the true story of how two former lab technicians made “Monopoly” into a household word. :)

Look at Alice with her arm around Natasha, while they dance together on-screen. Such a sweet little mousey couple. You really can’t beat a meet-cute story featuring zombies.♥♥

AWWWW… a beautiful happy ending! Perfect! Thanks, Georgia!

We clearly need a Quinn Farms Rad Rabbit Reporter!

I love your stories and the art. I wish life had such happy endings. I wish happy days for you and yours.

Crime, ladies

Go on and become partners

Can’t you see?

Robber sprees are just starting

Heists are calling, and night is falling

Crime, ladies

Soaps on TV could never be so thrilling

Things are free, I hope that you are willing

Pick the goods up, and keep your hoods up

Crime, ladies

Sticky fingers lift what you found

Starry skies, and loot is all around you

Let a skate take you where you want to go

Oh, oh

It’s time, ladies

(Dance with Me / John Joseph Hall & Johanna D Hall / Orleans)

The mice are indefatigable forces of nature. It was nice of them to save the bunnies too.

I must admit to mild disappointment—I thought the bunny stampede would just push the window fully open, but I see they used the Doors’ technique.

We chased our carrots here

Dug our carrots there

But can you still recall

The time we licked

Break on through to the other side

Break on through to the other side

(“Break on Through” – Morrison, Densmore, Manzarek & Krieger)

OT: lost and found

So, that’s what happened to all the carrots…………………

Ah ha, so Natasha is in on the government cover up. Of course she’s going to say the werezombie rabbits returned to normal, that’s just what those involved in the cover up would say. Can’t let the truth get out.

Beatrix will be happy to learn that “amirite” has been added to the Merriam-Webster diction. Perhaps that can be the basis for her next investigative report. “Why is it that by the time new words are added to the dictionary, we’ve already moved on to newer words?”

I’m rereading The Cat, The Quilt and The Corpse the first book in the “Cats in Trouble” mystery series. The book was first published at least a decade ago, long before everything was broken and nobody knew who did it. So I was surprised to see a Big Pink House on the cover that looks almost like THE Big Pink House of BCN fame! The first murder in the series takes place in that Big Pink House and the whole plot revolves around cats.

One of the best storylines ever!
