Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 24, 2019

Open your eyes and turn around Mr. Vigilant Reporter!

I love that the MN logo is a wedge of cheese!

Oh dear. Ever vigilant is going to need a new definition in the dictionary, I think.

On a better note, Nat splat onto the pie top is precious! And I love how Agnes is broadcasting from right behind Elvis and he hasn’t noticed. We need more Mouse News and their “cheesy” logo.

Did the mice steal Lupin’s ears, too? Or is his speech bubble some sort of Eldritch Abomination that can be behind his head and in front of his ears at the same time?

Love Agnes’s cheeky grin and wave from right behind our ‘vigilant’ intrepid reporter.

I think the dotted line in the last panel is both the top of the table, and the indicator that the mice are moving the pie. XD I like it!

I looks like Elvis won’t be getting much rest then. Am I the only one who can hear the Mission Impossible theme song as Natasha glides down towards the pie?

The mice not only are stealing the pie—they are stealing the BCN broadcast signal! Somebody notify the FCC (Feline Communications Commission).

Wait.. The Woman is baking pies on SUNDAY that are not intended to be eaten until THURSDAY?? How does that work? We don’t have mice in our house, but she’d still have to bake another whole set on Wednesday. Because all the Sunday pies would be gone by Tuesday. And there are only two of us.

The Robber Mice and the cats have collaborated for the past few weeks. But when it comes to pie, it is a different story.

Poor Mr Grouchy Fussy Paws! Looks like his vigilance was all for naught as the adorable robber mice are absconding with the pie. Must say I just love Agnes being added to the news crew, mouse division.

Over on Sherpa at Cleo and Company, the Bassets are having Thanksgiving:

The Ladies are cutting and dropping in!

Uh oh! Lupin’s ears are flattened by the word balloon in panel two! And the robber mouse is flattening the top of the pie!

Back of Elvis’s head!

And the pie is …

And as matter of very slight interest, I will point out that the word “pie” makes British and Australians think of meat pie, but Americans think of fruit pie.

And now let us get on to the question of the differences between a pie and a tart. (And ignore cobblers because we’ll have enough trouble with the first two.)

OK, a few jokes for the week:

The first time I got a universal remote control I thought to myself, “This changes everything”.

Don’t you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.

Velcro – what a rip-off!

We have enough youth. How about a Fountain of Smart?

Just burned 2,000 calories. That’s the last time I leave brownies in the oven while I nap.

“I went to a tourist information booth and said ‘Tell me about some people who were here last year.’” Steven Wright

“I think it’s wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.” – Steven Wright

“I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn’t park anywhere near the place.” Steven Wright

(Dang, didn’t realize that was 8 jokes I posted, sorry for taking up a lot of the comment space this week.)

SUNDAY FUNDAY

(If we could persuade fullmoondeb to make the beginning post, her jokes would all be easy to find)

This is the place for recent highlights, humorous bits, and such.

Although it looks cool in a “mission impossible” kind of way, what good does rappelling on top of the pie do, Natasha?

So… I was watching this video on YouTube:

https://youtu.be/htkR3mDZMgY

With Tika on my lap, purring as I pet her. Suddenly, her attention was focused on my monitor.

I can’t imagine why she would suddenly become interested in what I was watching. ;-D

Operation Pie Heist is a success!

Behind you, Elvis. Look, robber mice! Pounce upon them and eat them!

Would love to know how Georgia drew panel 4. now that’s cool Lupin!

Burt, Burt – get control of the broadcasting frequency!

Ahoy mateys, I think we have some mouse “frequency pirates.”

Lupin, Lupin no, no, no. Don’t be seduced over to the dark side by fancy words and super cool crime-ing.

Is Georgia’s Facebook page gone? I don’t do Facebook but I used to be able to look at it.

I can’t think of a single blessed comment to make, so I’ll be quiet and grab that pie back from the mice!

My secret password is the last 8 digits of pi.

♪ Bye, bye Miss American Pie! ♪

Glad it was Nat & not Lupin landing on it. lol

And Burt continues to troll Elvis.

Breaking Mouse News logo is a piece of cheese! I love it!

“We cannot let ourselves be distracted.”

Quick, somebody fetch the laser pointer!

You know Elvis it’s not like you guys don’t steal food.

Well Robin, you’ve managed to stir up quite an important discussion this morning. And you have to love all of the responses. Very entertaining.

Elvis, you are a great reporter but a lousy watch cat.

What a glorious HEIST! 8D

A tart might share a slice of your pie…..A cobbler will fix your boots.

Not gonna be getting much rest, then.

The last panel is one of the best ever! Agnes! Natasha! Pie! I stopped at the deli yesterday, and they had fresh-baked pumpkin pies, still a bit warm, so I had to get one. Plus, the lady from the farm delivered my turkey breast yesterday. So I decided today will be Thanksgiving at my home. It’s just me, so I can have it whenever I darn please.

Elvis remains ever vigilant.

@Robin Harwood Judging from the 44 (forty-four!) comments when I logged on today, it’s way more than a matter of slight interest! :)

Boy, is Elvis ever going to feel sheepish!

Now thats more like it Lupin! Back on your horse. FCC might have to get involved here

My kitty Pan, aka Killer Kitty, would be ashamed of Elvis. He would never let a mouse in the house, let alone a bunch of them going after the food.

Apple and pumpkin and mincemeat, oh pie!

Pecan and cherry and lemon, oh pie!

Coconut custard, blueberry, oh pie!

Alice, Natasha, and Violet, NO PIE!

Agnes: Best pie wishes to all the Orb!

OT. Message from Georgia on BCN Site about tomorrow’s sale: "Some of the daily strips that will be for sale during Monday’s originals sale! The sale will begin on Monday November 25th at noon Pacific time. It will be in my Etsy shop, and I will share the link on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram starting tomorrow (though the shop will remain closed until Monday at noon!) These daily strips and 15 other dailies will be for sale for $350 each. They are ink and watercolor on heavy cardstock, and are all real deal original comic strips that have appeared in newspapers across the country. The text is in pencil, and some of it may have changed by the time strips ran in print! There are splotches, splatters, drips, and little notes to myself on some of them. They’re as natural as you can get, lol! This is the first time I’ve ever sold any of the daily strips (I don’t believe any have even been given away at this point), and I do not plan on offering any more for a few more years. This is a weird, special year! "

The last two panels could be a scene from Wellington Paranormal.

Mmm, pies. Always makes me think of Santa Barbara, where, on election day, there were signs at all the polling places “100 pies”! I know it just means “one hundred feet” (no electioneering within) but pies are pies.

All will become clear once we all look at this Pie Chart!! :)

“Good morning, Ms. Natasha. Your mission – should you decide to accept it – is to liberate the pie at all cost!”

“As always, should you or any of your M.N. Force be caught or filled (with pie), the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.”

“This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Natasha.” :)

I love the robber mice because they remind me of the little mice in my mother’s house when I moved in there after she died. They mostly went after the birdseed she had stored for her budgies, and the nuts she had for the wild birds. I never baked a pie there but once, and it was pumpkin and gone in five minutes, so I don’t know if they’d have pulled such a heist. I wouldn’t put it past them, though.

Return the pie before Baba Mouse disciplines the four of you.

Perhaps they are planning to use the pie to pay for the invoice Beatrix sent to them.

Why are the anchor-mice wearing yellow makeup?

Today I was allowed to give Trixie scritchies in the living room.

And Shadow is diagnosed with Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome. Which is actually a GOOD thing. We thought she had a neuro based seizure disorder. 2 weeks now on gabapentin and a reducing dosage of steroids and the seizures have stopped. Skin ripple is down to near zero. Yay!

“I don’t want to be a pie — I don’t like gravy”

The Robber Mice strike again!! Any time soon, this pie is gonna fly.
