Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 11, 2024

Just imagine if he meant to be harsh!

I kept expecting Kit to go into a filk of “You’re a mean one…… Mr Grinch.” And we really could use a musical number right about now.

This reminds me of Judith Viorst’s classic picture book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

What has happened to the bold Kit who climbed two stories to get to Angora’s balcony and proclaimed he would climb a whole novel for her? The Kit who drove an ambulance through Laundry Canyon? I don’t like this groveling Kit Chase!

Kit, you forget to mention that Mr. T is also thin-skinned!

I agree with Kit in panel 2. We need more details of Mr. T’s despicable plan . . . then we ruin it.

And your boots don’t fit!

Well, that worked out well for Kit.

More evil toebeans. HISSSSS!

Egads. And me thoughts me foods poisoneeng was most unbearable. Steenky soapy opera is worse. Too bad me can no eats no snacks in snacks room now. Alas. Alas. Woe is me. (Cues some more dramateec myoosic now).

And while we avert our gaze from that turgid, overblown drama that we pay no attention to at all, let us consider a problem connected with the Wiener Kreis.

“Bad at business? How dare you?!”

He left out “And you dress funny.”

He should bulldoze himself.

At least hes motivated

If he’s awful at business, how did he get so rich?

“Oh, and you’re also vindictive.”

And his lack of business acumen explains the desire to build a Megamall.

Kit knows his enemy.

The Sunday strip is now up if anyone wants to look and give it a like…

I know, but it HAD to be said.

Thurl Ravencroft: You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

Snowball Taggart, you’re a jerk!

You really are a Scrooge,

You’re as charming as a trash can

You’re as pleasant as root canal

Snowball Taggart,

Every baseball you hit turns out to be a foul!

…….

Snowball Taggart, you’re as vile

As an untuned violin!

Your heart is full of moldy kibble

Your brain’s a chewed-up sock

Snowball Taggart,

Your soul is as ugly as sin!

…….

You disgust me, Snowball T.

With a super dissing gust!

Your soul’s a pile of week-old tuna

Out lying in the sun,

Snowball Taggart!

You’ll get yours and we’ll all have fun!

No, Kit. That was not, HARSH, at all! Ha ha ha ha! Love the, Lil Gasp!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

On the oPun Road

Amon-Merchant: …So thaSt’s the story. Somehow Snowfall Braggart has control of the spice routes and he’s charging an exorbitant amount to obtain them.

Azibo: We know the Royal Procurers will be back from their Punn State seminar next week, but we need to get the sp¡ces to Thomios and Floofnet right away.

Beatrixia: Well, you’ve come to the right place. Iggy and I are going to the Afar Public Library and café. When you need answers, go to the library.

Amon-Merchant: What do you plan to do there?

Iggy: Beaver Lee Cleary found some new cooking scrolls that may have come from the Library at Meowlexandria. Some of them may have been written by famous writers like Julia Kitten and The Complete Nile Test Kitchen. I’m interested in The Food Lab by Kenny Science.

Azibo: Maybe they’ll have some new scrolls by Betty Cooker. I always love cookie recipes.

Bea: And there may be a scroll by the Tortoise Shell Culinary School. Not sure what became of that, though.

[bro] kit just used vicious mockery and rolled a nat 20 (only dnd fans will understand)

Mr. T pities the fool…….

For anyone new to “Our IX Lives” or who just wants to refresh their memory (like me) you can access the Christmas special in the archives (from Dec 14 – Dec 25 2016). Thanks @Gloria Fleming for referencing a date in an earlier post!

At least he didn’t call you “scruffy-looking.”

So Kit told the truth and hurt Snowball’s feelings. My heart bleeds for his hurt feelings. I hope he gets hit by his bulldozer! (Yes, I can be very mean)

…and those are your good qualities!

Be careful, Kit. Remember his weak heart.

You’re a mean one, Mr.-T

You really are a heel

You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mr.-T

You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel

You’re a monster, Mr.-T

Your heart’s an empty hole

Your brain is full of spiders, you’ve got garlic in your soul, Mr.-T

I wouldn’t touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole

You’re a vile one, Mr.-T

You have termites in your smile

You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr.-T

Given a choice between the two of you

I’d take the seasick crocodile

You’re a foul one, Mr.-T

You’re a nasty-wasty skunk

Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr.-T

The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote, “Stink, stank, stunk”

You’re a rotter, Mr.-T

You’re the king of sinful sots

Your heart’s a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr.-T

Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable

Mangled up in tangled up knots

You nauseate me, Mr.-T

With a nauseous super “naus”

You’re a crooked jerky jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr.-T

You’re a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich

With arsenic sauce

Dang, you hurt all the feelings!

Look, if you don’t like being called that, then STOP being precisely that. ;)

What do you want to bet that Snowball T. has a large poster of Snidely Whiplash enshrined in his bedroom?

OT: RLS Device

Sis: It is a weird pattern but whenever someone tries to avoid something it comes back to bite them in the butt

At 7 a.m., it was 51F here and raining. Now (noon) it’s snowing like Christmas, the road is turning white, and my 2025 BCN calendar just arrived on the doorstep!

He’s the kind of guy who would strew the site with expensive toys first and make the orphans watch them being bulldozed.

Taggert, you are distemper personified.

Have mercy, Snowball! All the kittens will end up homeless.

189 comments is too many for me to read just now, so my apologies if this was already posted. But the comic from 12-8-24 has finally posted!

His name should be Steven.

“I’m sick of hearing about your stupid orphans. I hate orphans. I hate all the orphans in the whole world!!”

NACHO!!!

8^)

I just got the moat disturbing “suggestion” from the Big River store. When I clicked, it turned out to be a jar of freeze-dried little quails, and I mean whole quails, sold as dog and cat treats. I’ve ordered cat treats from them before, when I couldn’t find the ones Tucker Lovesponge prefers in the stores, but SERIOUSLY???? NO NO NO NO NO!!

Yippee! I got my calendar today!

Mr. T: I was gonna let the orphans leave before sending in the bulldozers… but not anymore! Bwah ha ha ha!

Went back and read Our IX Lives Christmas Special from 2016 ❤ I so adore all of Georgia’s beautiful artwork and the way she used to be able to use an entire page. The “Golden Age” of BCN, in my humble opinion. breakingcatnews.Com/comic/our-ix-lives-christmas-special-part-one/

“I’m going to bulldoze the orphanage EVEN HARDER.” Love that.

Sort of OT: for anyone who has not read last Sunday’s strip, it is now in the queue? archive? Anyway, go back to Sunday Dec. 8 and it is there. And Ora Zella is soooo cute in the popcorn!!

All 0.4286 of them , feelings, that is.

OT sort of: Doing a little happy dance because when I got home for lunch GUESS WHAT was waiting for me?! My 2025 BCN Calendar!! Oh my Cat I am SO happy!!! ღƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♡ƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♪

My favourite is February! Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! My heart melts at the wonderful gift Sophie’s secret admirer gave her! ❤❤❤
