There are no words for how much I love this Sophie story. I’m an introvert art nerd who has trouble in groups, so this whole storyline really speaks to me.
Queen Mags: Welcome to the Kingdom of Afar, Lupinium and Royal Procurers. We are all grateful to you for bringing us the cotton cloth we need.
Alice-Ata: Queen Catshepsut the Golden sends her regards.
Queen Mags: Please send her my regards. She is my BFF, you know.
Alice-Ata: And to think you once called her a stray.
Queen Mags: Ah, we’re always talking trash. And I would like to send her this gift of trash gleaned from our finest dumpsters.
Avenger: Your Majesty, I would request to visit the stables.
Queen Mags: Of course, you want to visit your lady friend, Emma-Peelia.
Iron Glove: That reminds Your Majesty, I must continue my project as Royal Blacksmith.
Queen Mags: Yes, you may leave.
Agnes-Ata: What is this project, Your Majesty? (Background noise: Clang!)
Queen Mags: When Baba-Stet visited here, she predicted wedding bells for Avenger and Emma. We’re just doing our part. And now to help you on your return journey, we are sending you home on our two best camels.
Enter two camels.
Camel 1: Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie! What day is it?
Louie-Nour: Why Hump Day, what else? Every day is Hump Day for a camel, Vann. And I finally get to meet your lovely bride.
Vann: Yes, this is my beloved, Kara.
Adobe Style: If you’ll excuse, I will go to make the masks we need.
Agnes-Ata: Oh, you are a tailor?
Adobe Style: They don’t call me Style for nothing!
Queen Mags: Before you leave, please accept these gifts. I bid you safe travels.
Introverts want friends. They even enjoy socializing, but they have a limited capacity for it, and get burned out after a bit. Good to see that others realized that did want to be part of the group.
What a great “feel good” arc which incorporated scripted pro wrestling which so many of us grew up watching over the years to facilitate getting Sophie involved with the crew! This arc is one of my favorites along with Tommy being found by his woman with an assist from Elvis after he helped Elvis find his way home, Goldie finding a new home and Beatrix going from kitten lost in a Nor’Easter to being the employee of the month at the bookstore!
Alright, physical contact at last. It’s head bumps but I’ll take it. Congratulations on a feel-good storyline with an open end. (Being cats, cardboard set destruction could turn out to be more attractive than elaborate acting.)
Today is Record Store Day. Do such things still exist? It seems that even CDs are passe. Fortunately, audiophiles (they make toebean addicts look perfectly normal and sane … ;^}) believe that records have better sound quality.
OT: to all those who expressed sympathy and good wishes yesterday, a big Thank You! I see that I have a lot of company, too. :-( This episode is almost as bad as those when I was first recovering from 6.5 hours of back surgery 39 years ago. Can’t take NSAIDs because it worsens the prognosis if I get COVID-19, can’t go in for a scan or epidural for the same reason. Looks like this will be a long siege. Thanks again for the good wishes.
I know many have said this, but I have to say my joy for Sophie when I read todays strip was full body and I burbled out in a weird combination of AWWWW….YAY…..Go Sophie! ***SNIFF*** and then as I absorbed the 3rd panel again my darn inferior screen once again got blurry as I continue to laugh and leak (just out of my eyes, thank you) for at least 2 minutes.

Everything about today’s strip is super cute and sweet. The Beatrix bun in the first panel is giving me the squees!♥

I know we think of Sophie as being an introvert, but I think she really needed this … It’s wonderful for her to have this sense of belonging!

Hmmm, what would the cats choose for their entrance music?

I’d bet the vibrations from panel three’s PURRs can be felt all the way into the attic of the Big Pink House.

Outstanding!
Until next time:
♪ The tussle’s over, my friend
It’s time to call it a day
You’re feeling over the moon
They’ve chased your blues away
It’s time to wind up the masquerade
With your ankh, mad skills and purry accolades
The tussle’s over
Laundry lights flicker and dim
You played and smiled through the night
It seemed so right acting with friends
Now you must go home, all fun must end
Take off your cool getup, the tussle’s over
It’s all over, my friend ♪
