Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 04, 2024

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!!!!!!!

JULES!!!!!! Now IT hits the fan! BOOM! Finally fireworks can have a positive use! GET OUR GIRL!

As if by chaos called, an Ora Zella appeared…

The mice are having a blast…

…wow, ladies, you took out the whole town. Good job.

Brilliant. Also poor Iggy.

JULES! BOOM! SIRENS! YES!

I also really like Violet’s welding mask.

Hurray for Jules, I knew he’d show up soon!

IT’S ABOUT FREAKING TIME!

PHASE 2! BRING IN THE MOLES!

No one’s mentioned it yet, but all four of the girls are wearing glitter bomb bags!

Good thing Destry was fully charged, she will still be able to play some nice load music for a while even if the power stays off. :)

And there’s Jules right on schedule

Well, off to bed. It will be fun to see all the comments in the morning. Happy Independence Day to All US Citizens at home and abroad.

This is so much fun! Can’t wait til tomorrow!

Happy Independence Day!

I hope Sophie gets her independence from those jailers soonest.

Oh, Pucky! Don’t look so scared. I’ve got a big bowl of freshly made potato salad marinading in the fridge. Wish I could share it with you.

I’ve heard of squirrels taking down power lines, but this might be the first time I’ve heard of mice doing so.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

I did not see that being the first step! But clearly they have coordinated with Gutter et al. and so it begins!

I think that is Puck with Ora Zella in the dark?

“And so it begins…”

- Kosh Naranek

No doom. Only boom.

Pluggers is has steenky glitter today too.

AWWWWWWW YEAH!!!! It’s gettin’ REAL, folks!!! ღƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♡ƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♪ Break her out while they’re all distracted! Reminds me of the movie “Entrapment”.

(Waving) HI JULES!!!

What will be Chitter’s and Chatter’s roles in this?

The artwork in that second panel is outstanding!

YAY!!! The July Bug has arrived!

Chicago: Saturday in the Park

Thursday night on the wire

I think it was the fourth of July

People setting fireworks off

To Bea’s disapproval

While the Robber Mice

Wait for their right cue!

…….

Jules is right there doing his bit

Can you dig it? Yes I can!

We’ve been waiting for this moment!

…….

Setting in motion

Operation “Get Our Girl”

The July Bug tells the story his own way

Listen, Orb Friends, All is not lost!

Darkness falling into chaos

Much to Puck’s chagrin

Ora Zella’s stoked!

There is more chaos yet to come

Can you dig it? Yes, I can!

I’ve been waiting such a long time!

For the day, yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Agnes is in her reporter career wear, not her Robber Mouse outfit! Breaking News before breaking in!

I spy a July bug! Shall we ask him for cicada news?

A festive day today but a worrisome one for many pets due to the loud noises! It is a good day to keep those kitties with outdoor privileges safely inside so they don’t get spooked and run from the fireworks. Same for some noise-shy canines.

Invisible Pucky!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Ta-Natash: Where was Jules when he disappeared?

Trevor-Hotep: Over here by the Anemone patch.

Tash: OK. You don’t mind if I take another Anemone?

Trevor-Hotep: Not at all. Just bring it back when you’re finished.

Agnes-Ata: How will you know where to look?

Tash: I’ll just follow the holes in the Space-Time Fabric.

In the Space-Time Continuum

Tash: There you are, Jules. Ready to come home?

Jules: Quite so. But this time travel is rather exciting.

Back Home

Sophititi: Looks like we have our work cut out for us. Ready, Maat-Tilda?

Maat-Tilda: Not a problem. Let’s save some of the fabric for our projects.

Tash and Jules Return

Trevor-Hotep: Welcome back, guys. How was the trip?

Jules: A bit scary but most exhilarating.

Sophititi: You know, we can leave a time track open if you like.

Maat-Tilda: Sure just pick one. And only one.

Jules: I rather fancy the one with all the pretty fireworks.

Maat-Tilda: Fine. We can keep open this track that leads to July throughout the years.

Oh, I really wish it was “get our girl out” then we could call it Operation GOGO!! :D

Georgia – this is epic :)

Hmmm. I wondered why the power went out a few days ago.

For once a somewhat good use of fireworks.

Is that the July bug??? Happy July forth. It is cat rescue day

That part of the plan might’ve been a bit more effective than they were counting on…

Yay! Jules is back and Operation Save Our Sophie is kicking into high gear!

OT: Happy Birthday USA (& me), etc.

When they’re done busting Sophie out, could they go to work on Evan Gershkovich?

Yes, the July Bug is here! Did they just cut the power to the whole town? I thought the kidnappers’ house was not near the BPH.

And yes of course. Jules is back from the centre of the earth, after swimming 20000 leagues under the sea and going around the world in 80 days.

Poor Puck. Sympathy.

O beautiful, bodacious spies,

With rancor for her pain,

See critter heroes’ strategies

Above the loud terrain!

Oh, murines, rah! Yeah, murines, hah!

Cat let your plan succeed

And bomb the rude with glit-i-tude

To save our sweet Sophie!

/ Katharine Lee Bates, Samuel A. Ward / America the Beautiful

OT: Rose news

Jules! YEA!!!!

And for what it’s worth – there were well over 450 comments to yesterday’s strip. :-)

yawn…. I couldnt sleep last night (fireworks).

It’s just perfect that Georgia Dunn timed it for July 4th!

: – )

This is going to be an EPIC rescue! Killing the power to the entire town! (I hope Burt’s got the backup generators ready)

Look at all those glitter grenades — even Agnes has one! And Jules is on the scene!!! Now there’s a Grade-A trouble-maker!

blackout

Happy July 4th!

Sit down, John!

Years ago, the nearby mall did fireworks. I was outside watching them. The fireworks were going off, every car and house alarm in the area was alarming, and the disaster sirens blared. Meanwhile, a thunderstorm on the horizon was so loud I could barely hear the other noise. So funny.

I just noticed that Natasha is giving Jules a thumbs up in the 3rd panel. I completely missed that until I pinched up that panel and looked closer!

Seeing Jules again is pretty RAD, too. Happy Independence Day, Orbsters!

Three fried mice, three fried mice

See how they smoke, see how they smoke

They all ran up a power pole

They cut the power with a pocket knife

Did you ever see such a sight in your life as three fried mice?

Three fried mice, three fried mice

See how they smoke, see how they smoke

They all ran a power pole (three fried mice)

They cut the power with a knife (three fried mice)

Happy Independence Day everyone!

Hello, July Bug!

Operation GOG. Next: Operation MAGOG.

Today’s crossword puzzle had a tribute to the Orb clue. The clue was “Toe Beans” and the answer was PAW! All our SQUEE and SQUII work has made us famous!!!! SQUII!

And I see mousie toe beans! SQUII!

There are no power lines.

AAAnd the July Bug is in the game!

We lost the live feed. Back to you.. guys?

Good, the mice are getting started.

Don’t let Ora Zella get her paws on any fireworks.

Here’s hoping the woman and the man don’t have a generator!

; – !

it’s amazing, but it’s 10.43 pm on July 4th and i have not heard one single firework!
