Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 25, 2017
Transcript:
Lupin: Ceiling Woman is back from the library! We go now live to the kitchen. Woman: ...And so, now I'm thinking the cat we found is Matilda. Ceiling Woman: You'd be right. The girl in this photo is Winifred Quinn. She grew up to own most of the town. Woman: Like Quinn Farms? And Quinn Cat Shelter? Tommy's owner works there! Ceiling Woman: And Quinn Library! So, as you can imagine, the archives had a LOT of material on her! I signed a bunch of things out! Woman: The library saves the day! Ceiling Woman: They usually do. Winifred created Quinn Cat Shelter in honor of Matilda, for lost cats. Fig! Elvis: Can we get a slow pan of the items the Women are studying? Oh, look who decided to come brawling back- Ceiling Woman: I wish there was a way to reunite them. Man: Are these the same Quinns in the historical cemetery? Woman: -Gasp- Great idea! Lupin: ...What?

Didn’t notice this the first couple times I read this—in the last ‘now’ panel, it looks to me as though Pucky’s eyes are a bit leaky. Of course, that’s Puck all over. And Lupin perched on The Man’s shoulders—typical for him. Also typical—Elvis’s ears.

Georgia really knows how to pull at the heart strings.

Oh, my Cat, yes I love all the art work. And notice the happy smile on Freddie’s childhood face—up until Tillie goes missing. Then it’s slow to build back.

My co-worker is slicing onions at her desk. Yeah, that’s it.

I’m not afraid to admit this, but I still get misty-eyed when I read this storyline. Real men do shed a tear when necessary…like this storyline.

This particular strip just really showcases Georgia’s immense talent for drawing/painting and story-telling. :)

This story & illustration of Quinn Cat Shelter has special memories for me as a student at RISD in the 50s, & out on class assignment to draw/illustrate places in Providence.Had an apartment not far from houses like this. Thank you Georgia. Great illustration of the Quinn home & people there. Would have gotten an A+ in Freshman foundation Life Drawing class.

After making sure that the onions were up, I called both of mine to the living room for treats and some loving.

Read this the 1st time here, again in the Book, now here again. Major feels and more than a few tears (especially since I know how it ends)
SunflowerGirl100 almost 8 years ago
This storyline ends tomorrow. I advise all readers to have a box of tissues handy.

What a beautiful story. My cats are all rescued also. I lost my 18 year old 3 days ago, so it’s very easy for me to get teary eyed.
Andylit Premium Member almost 8 years ago
I googled the shelter. Sad to find it is fictional but so very pleased and touched by this storyline.
Last Rose Of Summer Premium Member almost 8 years ago
This is the third time I’ve read/seen this story arc and it gets to me every time. Excuse me while I go find a Kleenex.

In the “old” photo subtitled “Local Heiress Opens Cat Shelter”… I love the cat on the left, wearing a headband and making a peace sign…an apt portrayal of a little hippie kitten :):)

That’s it, then. I’m a ghost. I can only se my comments if I sign in, and no-one else can see them at all. And other people’s comments get pretty red flags. Mine don’t.
All thanks to the new format.

Ceiling Woman is very attractive, but she doesn’t appear to be Hispanic, which is what I would have assumed since the Ceiling Cats speak Spanish.
RWill almost 8 years ago
This strip took a lot of work … <8-O xD
BlueIris Premium Member almost 8 years ago
@SAKURA TOMOE and SHADOWBEAST I’m pretty sure that someone posted recently that the Ceiling Cats had a previous owner who spoke Spanish.

I love Freddie bottle feeding that tiny kitten. The pattern on the blanket looks vaguely familiar.
