Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 04, 2020

Goldie triumphs!

Go girls!

Aaaand . . . there it is!

Looks like a literal in-your-face-plant, Lupin!

A hypothesis confirmed!

I’ve used the word ‘fffffine’ when in fact I was thinking of a less than fine word … ;D

She scores!

Elvis’ expression of astonishment in panel four. Giggle.

Should be in the yard waste bin. Composted, back to the earth.

Uh, oh, Lupin. Foiled again.

Lupin, you’re going to give yourself an ulcer. Either just let go of your grudge, or get it out in the open and clear the air.

From theory to proof!

(The trash is not the place for a dead plant. It should be set free outside, where its restless soul can wonder the Earth forever.)♥

Let’s hear it for the girls!

Victorkitty! Woot Woot!

Why buy a plant that dies so soon? Why not plant grass that drinks water and lives for a loong loong time? Just saying.

Yay for Detective Goldie!

BoCH – Beatrix!

Panel three – Goldie thumbs!

Puck and Beatrix work well together with the exposition.

No particular tune

Oh, Lupin where did you go?

Where’s that mischievous kitty we used to know?

We miss your adventures,

We miss them so,

Please Lupin, where did you go?

…….

Happy Lupin is not to be seen,

Goldie did not mean to be mean,

You are angry, that much is clear,

Don’t find a white surface,

And disappear!

…….

You know we still love you,

Your friends all do, too,

Please come back to us,

The cat we all knew,

We want to know what happens next,

With the return of Fluf Rex!

…….

Oh Lupin, we miss you, you see

So do Elvis, and Pucky and Bea,

Talk to Goldie, tell her you are mad

Then everyone will be glad!

Lupin, it’s not really so bad!!

The case is solved.

Ah, the progression of Lupin ears from annoyed to peeved to pissed.

Panel two – the Woman brings the latest victim – oops, I mean plant – into the house.

We all know it’s doomed.

Goldie looks ready to go into a touchdown dance! (I hope we get more of these mysteries and ultimate Ta-DA! solves.)

Well done Detective. Might I suggest a utility belt, cowl and black cape for the next adventure? Oh, and perhaps a disguise for your ward, Beatrix. And wouldn’t Pucky make an excellent and dedicated Butler?

Elvis looks a bit gobsmacked in the last panel.

Poor Lupin. He’s doing an Elvis.

Vindicated!

Today, Georgia is recognized as one of the 11 Women Cartoonists Who Make Us laugh. GoComics has a posting for National Women’s Day! CONGRATULATIONS!!

OT: just checking in.

We are surrounded by slightly fewer boxes than we were the other day. There’s still a fair amount of cleanup to do in the old apartment (and only four days in which to do it) but it is progressing.

The MIL is back in Denver, presumably quietly seething at how ineffectual her various hints about moving into our third bedroom proved to be.

I have my regularly-scheduled monthly appointment with my pain doc today and will be talking with her about getting that followup nerve ablation that was originally planned for when I returned from Ohio after Thanksgiving.

And, to bring the post back on-topic, Maverick and Ember are adapting to their new surroundings. As well, last night Ember let the Boy play his favorite game with her: perching her on his shoulder. She was, understandably, a little leery every time he went to pick her up considering that the last time he did so, she ended up inside a carrier. We’re also waiting to see what happens once she sees the two black cats who patrol the yard across the street.

Face it, Lupin. Goldie is good.

Lupin, get over it. Yes, you deserve an apology, but even if you don’t get it, that was long ago (in cat time) and the world has moved on.

Hi everyone. I might not be a regular commenter, but I read these comics daily and I just wanted to tell you guys that today is my birthday! I hope all of you are doing well. <3

Wait. He’s going to accept incontrovertible evidence? :-o

Love Lupin’s little finger in the first panel.

I know this is way off topic, but is anyone interested in helping my son’s school band program raise money for operating costs? They receive 500 dollars a year in funding from the school system, and they have to raise the rest themselves. The money raised will go towards purchasing new instruments, repairing old ones, and purchasing books and supplies for three concert bands (6th, 7th, and 8th grades), and a jazz band.

Here’s a link if anyone would like to donate:https://www.snap-raise.com/v2/fundraisers/karns-middle-school-band-2019-2?fundraiser_id=115545#/

Deductive reasoning wins out!

Let’s bring both antagonists to the table

Goldie: Lupin, why are you so mad?

I did nothing so bad, at least I don’t think so.

Can you please tell me why, I’ll make it up to you, I’ll try

But why you are mad I don’t know!

…….

Lupin You stole something from me, and then used it with glee,

Then you didn’t return it at once,

When I have good thought, I have been well taught

To record it as good thoughts do pounce.

And then you were so cute in trench coat that suits,

Everyone made a fuss over you,

But the loss was all mine, while you just did fine,

And that’s why I am angry at you.

…….

Goldie: Oh, Lupin please, try to understand,

I never meant to hurt you,

I’ll ask but I won’t demand,

Let me know what to do!

…….

Lupin: I don’t know, I’m still mad,

But some day I’ll be glad,

I’m sure things will be okay,

But not right away,

Maybe tomorrow, but not today!

March forth! March 4th is Marching Band Day. You gotta do it to the music, however, you may march to a different drummer.

What are your favorite marches?

Beatrix has taken advantage of the books. Next she should explain the difference between a problem and an issue.

Let’s face it: logical reasoning is not Lupin’s strong point! Goofy antics is Lupin’s thing. Bring out the Boy and Fluffapurrus Rex! The ceiling is a floor, too!

You are on a roll, Goldie. Great job!

compost instead

Oh, Lupin you sweet white floof! Get over it! She is just that good!

Look, I’m far from a great gardener, but how in the heck can anyone kill a tub of cat grass?

need a new detente

I posted my voice-over choices in Ms. Dunn’s yesterday’s post, but just in case:

OK, now for Voice Over choices! This is right in my wheelhouse! So here we go!:

Elvis: Dana Snyder (Master Shake, Dr. Colosso of The Thundermans), or Mark Hamill (many roles)

Lupin: Scott Menville (Robin of Teen Titans, many others), or Tom Kenny (Spongebob, Narrator and Mayor on The Powerpuff Girls)

Puck: Khary Payton (a toned-down version of Cyborg of Teen Titans, Aqualad of Young Justice)

Goldie: Mae Whitman (April O’Neil of TMNT, and Katara of The Last Airbender), or an outside chance with Amy Poehler

Tommy: Kevin Michael Richardson (many roles), or possibly John DiMaggio (Jake the Dog of Adventure Time)

Beatrix: Kristen Schaal (Louise of Bob’s Burgers and Mabel of Gravity Falls)

Burt: Rob Paulsen (Donatello of TMNT)

Sophie: Jean Smart (Designing Women, The Oblongs)

And, Baba Mouse: Dana Snyder (Granny Cuyler of Squidbillies), or Tara Strong (Raven of Teen Titans)

Trevor: Phil LaMarr (Green Lantern Jon Stewart, and Samurai Jack)

Robber Mice: Charlie Adler (Cow and Chicken, plus others)

Tillie (The Ghost Cat): Tara Strong (Raven of Teen Titans)

Thimblefist: Jim Cummings (Darkwing Duck, and many others)

Then, The Woman: Caroline Rhea (the mother on Phineas and Ferb)

The Man: Dee Bradley Baker (many roles)

And finally: Buzzy Mouse: Greg Cipes (Beast Boy of Teen Titans) – just reverb the voice as he speaks inwardly.

I just returned from the endodontist, and he was able to successfully do whatever it is they do to seal the tooth root in a root canal. One of the roots went all the way into the sinus cavity. Another one took a sharp right turn just before the sinus. As soon as that’s healed, I’ll need a permanent crown. There goes my tax refund and more!

Puck and Beatrix look remarkably unconcerned about the imminent death of that poor plant.

And the detective heroine gets the win!

Apparently, the (pretty much) universal gesture of victory and dominance isn’t limited to humans…

A glorious team effort!

Dare I even mention it lest I cause its return? That looming Far Side banner is not there right now. May it and its kin never appear again!

Okay, consider me edumacated.

So, why not just cut a circle of turf out of the lawn and put it in a pot?

I know he is mad about his recorder but I also think he is jealous, as he had to watch her tangle with the critters while he was stuck behind the windows. And what self respecting cat wants to be upstaged by a female feline?

Miss you Shawn! Hope you are well;) sends hugs

Brilliant, Holmes!
