Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 22, 2020

Ohhhh, what’s Babamouse up to?

Baba and the new moon!

hmImm… sleepy bear tea sounds very inviting right now. I’m guessing Baba can fend for herself.

Baba, so good to see you again!

I like Agnes’ pajamas. this is the first time we’ve seen a Robber Mouse in pjs isn’t it?

Baba! So good to see you again. I love the crescent moon with the star. I hope that bag tied to the end of a stick doesn’t indicate she’s running away from home! I was thinking earlier today it was about time to revisit the woodland critters.

I could use some “sleepy-bear-tea” about now.

Baba looks quite cheerful about whatever she is up to.

“Midnight at the oasis….”

I never get tired of Georgia’s beautiful night skies. The wash of purples and dark blues, and so many stars…mmm, so lovely and soothing. Art! I want that to be my sky.

I wonder what the errand is!?! Is Baba Mouse a Doula???

A happy Baba Mouse? Oh, this will be interesting.

How now, you secret, black, and midnight cats?What is ’t you do?

Sleepy Bear Tea? I’ve never heard of that one before.

A jolly swag-cat.

Oh, where can Baba Mouse be going? She’s packing for at least overnight trip.

Hey, I drink sleepy-bear-tea too!

Pucky ::sip:: - so adorable!

Who’s operating the Camera One drone?

Yay! Beautiful – but now who’s gonna shoo those pesky but adorable robber ladies out of the feed? Unless they’re her plus 4 on her journey.

She made up her mind

And she started packing

She left before the sun came up that day

A start to eternal summer backpacking

But where was she going

Without ever knowing the way?

She left in pale moonlight

And she’s not talking

Even though she has important things to say

She’s going to tell her tale only by walking

Where was she going without us knowing the way?

Anyone could see

The road that she walks on is paved in gold

And it’s always summer, she’ll never get cold

She’ll never get hungry

Even though she’s old and gray

You can see her shadow

Wandering off somewhere

She’s not yet far from home

And she really don’t care

She wanted the highway

She’s happy there today, today

Her good friends woke up

And they couldn’t find her

She left before the sun came up that day

She just walked off

And left it all behind her

But where was she going

Without us knowing her ways?

This is a shout out to dmah: won’t you please come back?? We miss you.

Baba Mouse looks like a cat on a mission. Now what can that be …?

Baba Mouse looks very happy.

OT: Paul: Our family doctors are doing a house call later today, and he has a telephone consultation with his oncologist, also later today.

From King Harvest: Dancing in the Moonlight

We see her sometimes in the night

When the Moon is almost out of sight

A cup of sleepy bear tea is just right,

As Baba goes out into the moonlight.

…….

Everybody here feels just right

As some lightning bugs all take flight

They make things feel all just right

As Baba goes out into the moonlight.

…….

Out into the moonlight

A sky full of stars is all slight

It’s such a fine and lovely sight

As Baba goes out into the moonlight!

i want to try it

Meanwhile Back on the Nile

Lupinium: Time to put my jesting equipment away for the night.

Puckmosis: Would you like a cup of Sleepy Cat Tea before you turn in for the night?

Lupinium: Sure. And a honey crisp cookie would be nice, too.

Puckmosis: Did you notice Baba-Stet going out on her nightly errand.

Lupinium: Yes. I wonder why she heads up to the mountains where it gets so cold at night.

Lupinium: Maybe to perform some sacred ritual?

Later, up in the mountains, at the Kat Kiosk

Baba-Stet: I’ll take a hot fudge with sprinkles and extra whipped cream.

Why, oh why, did I read BCN when Zeus woke me up at hairball-o’clock? Now I’ll have to wait a whole day to find out what Baba Mouse ‘s errand is!

Yay more Agnes action.

gift delivery/ errand of mercy, is my thought.

Sleepy Bear tea o’clock. I like it. Think I’ll use it in the future.

I love that Baba Mouse is here for an adventure…. Where is she going? What is the mission? She has a smile on her face……Also the last panel is just beautiful.

I will never get tired of seeing the Boys, heck, any of the BCN critters in PJs!!! And just what are you up to so late at night with a smirk on your face, Ms. Babamouse???

Found it!

Well I have a new tea to try on those nights I just can’t quiet my mind.

Why is Baba bearing a bindle?

Baba has many children and many friends, so I can’t wait to see where her journey ends!

As we interrupt our regular programming for this special late night coverage. Apologies to the infomercial crowd.

Well, I must be watching too much Space Time and Dr. Becky on the Youtubes when my brain starts yelling “You CAN’T see stars through the shadowed part of the moon!!” Shut up brain, and enjoy the lovely art…. X/

The background is simply marvelous!

Pure speculation, but I bet she’s packing her fiddle…..

Dearest beloved Mega Orb!!!

I am sooooooo much better!!! Finally

Hello best and dearest

This morning on the radio they said it was take your cat to work day. Since I have been working from home every day is take you cat to work day, though I don’t actually have to take them they are already there. :)

Happy Summerween!

Ot: I’m leaving tomorrow morning

Yeah, location episode!

No toe beanage today but — Pucky white floof!! Times two!

Today is … Positive Media Day? Is there such a thing as positive media? Well, of course there is—right here at BCN! (And possibly at other comic locations.) Laughter is a true panacea, both physically and mentally. I have never felt a pain “only when I laugh”—and I’ve felt a lot of pain. It might hurt when I laugh, but not as much as the rest of the time, and that laughter made it easier to bear.

Frankly, for most other applications, I think we should change the word “media” to “medea,” after the demon of Greek mythology who had the worst-hair-day-ever.

There is a part of the real (original Amerind) legend of Hiawatha in which a character gets “the snakes combed from his hair” and ceases to be a crazy, vicious, sadistic, inhuman S.O.B. That leaves me with only one question: WHERE CAN WE FIND SNAKE COMBS, A METRIC BONKERS WORTH OF THEM!!?? Preferably powered with fast USB recharging …

Okay, a question. Has Baba Mouse’s backstory appeared yet in the newspaper version of this strip?

The sliver of a crescent moon with planet at the lower tip is my favorite. I’ve always wanted a necklace with that exact design.

O.T. Cindy update

Baba Mouse out and about in the Moonlight. Something magical is afoot.

Where is baba off to! what adventure awaits?

Sleepy-bear-tea! HUMBUG!! I bought it, brewed it according to instructions, and … lay wide awake all ******* night!

OT: New Book!

Excitement plus. Pucky about to go to sleep and an adventure story. Yay.

What’s Baba up to?

GASP! I am intrigued. I always want to know what the old grey cat is doing at midnight.

Sleepy Bear Tea = One of the varieties of a national healthy tea brand.

Crescent Moon = Great picture except that is not how you see the moon. All the stars inside the crescent, including the bright one at the bottom should be covered by the body of the moon The astronomical term is occultation.

The mice have names? A mouse works as a reporter?

Baba is doing somethimg mysterious.

Just when I think Pucky couldn’t be more sweet and adorable… he takes a sip of tea.
