Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 04, 2018

Lupin, I don’t think Buzzy is in the coffee mug.

Now Elvis is showing the proper outrage over the situation. Poor Puck – he looks so distraught.

With just a few lines, Georgia manages to convey so much emotion. Elvis’s eyebrows seem so show anger; Puck’s show worry; Lupin’s show confusion.

I wonder if the People even have a cheese wheel at the Pink House. Oh noes, what will the Boys do if all they have is a package of Kraft sliced cheese to leave for the ransom demand?

Poor Puck – from happy-go-lucky holiday tips to Christmas in Crisis.

Don’t go alone. Bring someone older.

“Mrs. Peel… we’re needed.”

Christmas won’t be the same without Buzzy.

It’s always cheese demands from those criminal mousterminds!

Elvis: This is war!

The boys will never be able to get a cheese wheel. Buzzy is doomed.

Cheese wheels vary in size and cost. This is a typical comics cheese wheel:

CN News doesn’t negotiate with criminals!

Hey, I almost nailed it yesterday! :-) Told you it would be cheese, just missed the location (and added the threat.)

I wonder if Georgia is a fan of “The Amazing Race.” The mention of a cheese wheel always reminds me of the challenge where they had to carry cheese wheels down a hill and the wheels all start falling off the carriers and rolling everywhere!

How about a box of Cheez-its?

I love the red-and-green themed Christmas ransom note. They may be robber mice, but we can’t say they aren’t festive!

“Tre-C, Max, come here. Baywolf, you know the little girl, but get the scent of this one, too. His name is Max, and he’s a good cat, a good friend.” “MAX. GOOD CAT.” Maxie extended his paw, pads up, through the fence and said;”Good to know you, friend…” Tre-C looked at Max and whispered; “I bet at full volume he could blow down a solid-core door with that bark…” “Hush! I need you to give me one hundred percent of your attention.” Megan had spent the better part of the morning thinking, planning, worrying over the action they were going to take. “Tre-C, the Human is likely to bring his animals one at a time right out the double door entry to the shop. This is his shop, his ego. He wants to be the lead float in the parade. Get in the rafters just above the opening and be prepared if you have to jump. Max, I want you to sneak into the office and get into a position that you can see out without being seen. Nobody’s going in the shop, so you’ll be safe; nobody’s going to even open the office. ‘Wolf’… mama’s got some special instructions for you…”

At least those dastardly mice haven’t said anything about cutting Buzzy’s pull ring off.

A 7-9 lbs. Double Gloucester from Cooper’s Hill annual Cheese Rolling contest ought to do it.

Awww look at poor Pucky’s anguished little face… :OAlso, Elvis is looking highly perturbed.

#BuzzyStrong

Time to call the BC News Farm Bureau and get Baba Mouse on the case! She’ll recover Buzzy Mouse, and send the Robber Mice packing with her trusty broom and a “Git”!

Pity the robber mice. They must be doing so poorly. Look at all… the red ink.

In the first panel, everyone is turning the place upside down, looking for Buzzy Mouse.

NOOOoooooo!!!

I go pick up the van this morning. And, i got another donation this morning or last night sometime. :) Thats cool!

I’m going to leave the campaign up for a little while longer.

One of these days the slow leak in the steering box is going to become a big leak. I really do need to get it replaced.

I can’t tell you guys how much I love this story. I love it as much as I did the first time I saw it. Georgia is such a brilliant artist and storyteller. Thank Cat BCN is in newspapers and all over the Internet everywhere. All people of good will deserve to read this during the holidays.

Poor Pucky. No Buzzy, no script, no Coffee…

Good morning and happy Tuesday/Bluesday, orbsters and orbabies. Maybe there’s some leftover cheese ball from Thanksgiving that the boys can filch from the Man and Woman and repurpose as Buzzy’s ransom.

I have some major running around to do today and tomorrow, preparing for Paul’s birthday on Thursday. Even though it’ll just be the two of us, I have duck breast that I am planning to do in orange sauce with five-spice powder or star anise, potatoes parisienne, and a nice cake for dessert. I am going to pick everything up today, along with, possibly, a few more assorted eminently munchable munchables for between now and Christmas.

Oh my cat!

Excellent continuity with the red crayon from yesterday, and the note today! Not sure if Panel 3 is actually done in crayon or not – it doesn’t look like the typical watercolor media. In any event, love the artwork here!

Side note, Georgia has posted their tree (which is apparently being left alone) and the boys in their Christmas sweaters on Instagram. Goldie can be glimpsed behind Elvis; apparently she has taken to sweaters with even less enthusiasm than the boys. Be warned…cuteness overload.

And now we know what they needed the crayons they filched from Thanksgiving Dinner for.

Elvis: NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!! [smashes a coffee cup in anger; All pause, shocked] I will not sacrifice Buzzy Mouse. We’ve made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our House, and we fall back! They invade the News Room, and we fall back! They assimilate entire Cheese Wheels, and we fall back. Not again! The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them PAY for what they’ve done!

A wheel is nothing when Buzzy Mouse is in danger.

No Gouda will come of this……

Think about the scenario. Four mice stole the favorite toy from 3 cats and are ransoming it back. The mice aren’t very smart. Don’t mess with friends no matter what it will get you in trouble. Regardless of the fact that those that you stole from are your mortal enemies and predators. Good luck girls you are gonna need it.

They need a TROJAN WHEEL.

Missing Shaunnmunn the past couple of days—hope all is ok. Sending a giant hug through the airwaves.

WHAT? THE FIENDS!

Just another quick update: My husband is responding well to the anti-psychotic meds (a once-monthly injection to boot – no daily pills!) and will be discharged from hospital tomorrow and begin outpatient treatment. It will be good to have time home.

My left hand is recovering well from surgery last week, but it appears that I may have damaged a finger on my right hand during the chaos of the last few weeks, and that may require additional surgery. Sigh. At least there are options to fix what’s wrong, right?

I now have 5 cats, a miniature tortoise, and a dog with me in the new house (the one who was already with me – we have not found the dog who got lost in Texas). We have water in all sections of the house now, and even have hot water! Still no ceiling lights in most of the rooms (I’m using floor lamps in the meantime), but we’ll get a fridge delivered on Thursday, so perishable food is in my future!

The other morning, I took my dog Cody for a walk around our land (it’s just 2.5 acres, but that’s more land than I’ve ever had before, so it seems vast to me). It was cold, and there were frozen leaves on the ground that shimmered with silver ice. The rest of the ground wasn’t iced – just the glittering leaves. It was magical, and I feel so blessed to have this life, even with all of it’s recent challenges.

We need a detective. Will it be one of the boys or it be outside help?

Those dirty rats! Oops, I mean, those dirty mice!

If the station got a letter, does that mean the Mailman exists?

They want a cheese wheel?…a cheese?..a wheel?…I’ve sussed it!! They want a CEO or maybe a politician!

I figured they would have just posted the ransom note on Buzzyfeed.

The Bill. $846.38

$675.88 for the compressor.

$5.98 for fuses & etc.

$264.50 shop labor @ $150hr.

-$94.00 in some kind of discounts. Sr.?

Anyway, i asked them how much it would cost me to replace the steering gear box. About $1200. More or less.

Well, that is back burner again! :D

Don’t expect anything from Santa THIS year, Robber Mice!

Maybe they will accept a family sized jar of Skippy peanut butter instead? Crunchy or smooth?

Funny. Mice do not like cheese!

What is a cheese wheel? I mean, really?
