A detective, she says. Well, that’s very nice, but, in case you haven’t noticed, it’s raining! Let’s get somewhere where Beatrix won’t melt before we continue this discussion.
A detective! I love it! I foresee many investigative reports in BCN’s future. Kitty forensics! Witness interviews! Graphs! Codes! Incident scene searches! Yes, Orbsters, the game is a-paw!
By Goldie saying she’s “on a case” it seems to indicate that she hasn’t yet accepted the harsh fact that she’s been dumped by her humans. Or maybe she has but still wants to find them so she can barf in their shoes.
I feel like Beatrix just had a massive life revelation that she could have a career outside the world of journalism. With the exception of Sophie and Baba Mouse, all the adult cats in her life are involved in the news. The expression on her soggy little face in the final panel looks like she’s thinking “Wait, you mean an inquisitive cat can be something other than a reporter or researcher?”. Don’t get me wrong, nothing bad in being involved in the news, but she legit looks like she just had her little mind blown.
Today is my anniversary. Thirty nine wonderful years.
My three girls are celebrating, too. They get a small can of people tuna on “special” days…they’ll celebrate anything, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, St. Francis’ feast day, etc.
My hip seems to have plateaued. It’s not getting worse, but it has stopped getting better.
On the upside, the chair I was able to order thanks to dmah’s generous donation has shipped. I’m looking forward to its arrival and hoping it gets here early (the ETA is November 15 – November 22).
I recommend going back to the first comic or buying the books. That’s what I did. Each day I read about two weeks worth until I caught up. I still have trouble with the ginger cats. Except Goldie, she has an injured ear. Even though I read them on go comics I will probably get the books too so I can share with family. If you read them on go comics write the date you left off.
I am a long time reader, since before the newspaper format. I am getting confused. Please add the names and characteristics of the Robber Mice to their entry in the “Our Reporters” section. Once Goldie is settled, please add her also. The notch in her ear is much appreciated.

I am getting lost in so many characters. They need to be called by their names for a while until we know who’s who.

Someone’s scratching at the window, I wonder who is it?
We are watching the detective, oh, she’s so cute!”

With her Titian fur, I should have guessed she’d be a detective. : )

We’re Watching the Detectives, and so is Elvis Costello (and our Elvis)
Cool cat, in her mesh top and trench coat
Cell phone, recorder, quick to note
Not afraid to confront raccoons,
She’ll get her answers very soon!
…….
Because Goldie is a detective,
True, she’s so cute,
Watch out, Goldie’s a detective,
Mags may laugh, laugh at her,
And the tears may start,
Goldie may be wounded, but they won’t break her heart!
…….
She thought she was alone, but she knows she has good friends,
We know she is here to stay, and her welcome never ends
The Family’s waiting for her with a dish of kibble food
Someone’s running towards the bookstore, I wonder what they’ll find?
She is with a friendly floof cat and kitten who can climb,
They’ll make sure she is safe and sound, they both will see to that,
Along with a clever Robber mouse as smart as any cat,
She’ll soon be chasing stories find them right off the bat!
…….
Because Goldie is a detective,
True, she’s so cute,
Watch out, Goldie’s a detective,
Mags may laugh, laugh at her,
And the tears may start,
Goldie may be wounded, but they won’t break her heart!
Let’s welcome our new detective!

I was going to say that Kiki is a Detective, but on reflection, i have decided that she’s more the explorer type.

Goldie is clearly walking in Panel Three. I think it’s that everyone stops when she makes her revelations.

Beatrix, with her library job, would be an invaluable assistant to someone looking for information, like a detective. ;)

Hi all,
My hip seems to have plateaued. It’s not getting worse, but it has stopped getting better.
On the upside, the chair I was able to order thanks to dmah’s generous donation has shipped. I’m looking forward to its arrival and hoping it gets here early (the ETA is November 15 – November 22).

I recommend going back to the first comic or buying the books. That’s what I did. Each day I read about two weeks worth until I caught up. I still have trouble with the ginger cats. Except Goldie, she has an injured ear. Even though I read them on go comics I will probably get the books too so I can share with family. If you read them on go comics write the date you left off.
