Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 24, 2020

Gasp! Elvis believes!

Thank you, Beatrix, for bringing these two together!

Wooo!

Puck’s eyes , big as saucers, show his wonder and awe at being held by his mythical hero. And then to be told he was a good little guy, well that was like being awarded knighthood!

Hey, the chyrons are back. Burt and Baba must be back from the v-e-t.

And he’s a guy who knows Shakespeare! =D (Well, some of the more-common stuff, anyway. XD; )

… as everyone in the Mega-Orb simultaneously melts.

Mystical persona hero…love it, Elvis❤️

Oh, Pucky! You are melting my heart. Now my computer screen is going all blurry! I’m so jealous of the mail man. I think every single BCN follower would love to give and receive such a sweet hug!

Aww Pucky has met his hero at last, and got to be held by him.

Awwwwwwwwww! The last panel is golden. Oh to be purr-snuggled by Puck!

Sometimes it’s good to meet your idols.

Puck is a good little guy. A real sweetie.

Georgia weaves such great stories.

Thank goodness! I have been hoping his name was from Robin Goodfellow! I have been fearful that it was in reference to Hockey. And that he was an abused cat. Maybe we will find out more about Lupin’s name!!!

You are being conned, Puck! This is just an ordinary man in a mask. I haven’t seen him deliver a single letter, let alone go to every house in the world in a single day.

Why is The Woman wearing a dog mask?

Squee! I’m melting!

(is now a puddle of love)

Friends for life! Poor tired Beatrix is off to “Never Neverland” and she certainly did not need “Enter Sandman” to help her along! The Woman’s mask reminds me of Breakfast at Tiffanies when Holly Golightly and Paul Varjak stole the masks from the Five and Dime though I think Audrey Hepburn was the cat and George “Hannibal” Peppard was the dog!!

So sweet! I recently took my cat to the vet and they said she was so sweet and gave hugs.

Pet pet pet!

Pucky hind toe beans!

Is Pucky making biscuits on the Mailman’s shoulder? “Purr, purr, purr.”

If I were holding her, I don’t think I’d be able to resist giving Beatrix scritches even if she is fast asleep.

OT, Yen update

What a stellar day for dear Puck! His faith verified for all to see.

bro puck is living the dream

Bea is safe, and Puck gets to meet his hero the Mailman. A great day for all!

I love the 1970’s OneStep polaroid camera!

My heart just melted. <3

And his hero knows his name! How wonderful is this day!

Who’s chopping onions in here?!

Cherish is a word we use to describe

All the feelings Puck has for his magical hero guy

You don’t know how many times Puck wished that Elvis believed him

You don’t know how many times Puck wished that you could hold him

You don’t know how many times we’ve wished that we could hold Puck

Too and he’d purr and cherish us as much as he cherishes you

And it’s true

Pucky’s hero

And Bea’s, too

And ours, too

(The Association)

From Paul Williams, performed by The Carpenters and others, I Won’t Last a Day Without You

Day after day, I must face a lot of challenges

And temptations, too, what can I do?

It’s nice to know that there’s someone I can turn to

Who can rescue me, I now can see

…….

When there’s no gettin’ out of the tall tree

When my best friends don’t believe you’re true

I can take all the madness the world has to give

But am really glad that there’s you!

…….

Deliver letters, and bring boxes

That is what you do, but not all I knew

You are a hero, you came and rescued my friend

From the tree, and I can see

…….

When there’s no gettin’ out of the tall tree

When my best friends don’t believe you’re true

I can take all the madness the world has to give

But am really glad that there’s you!

And all is right in the world for this moment

See? The truth was out there!

My birthday today! Puck and the Mailman will be friends forever.

Awwww! My Hero! Also the look of wonder on Elvis’s face. Love this whole strip today.

I love getting FIVE panels in one day! It happened yesterday too – what a treat! And Puck’s hug today, aww!!!! Good to find out Puck is named after a Shakespeare character. I always connected A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which is my favorite Shakespeare play, with that black cat’s name, but for all I knew he was named “Puck” for his mad sliding skills on a slippery surface.

Okay, I’m going out on a limb here, doesn’t everyone feel this way whenever Georgia herself gives us a “like?” blush. chuckle. I am soooo happy for dear little Puck. This has just been a wonderful arc.

ok, but Puck’s face in the third panel just made my day.

This is a ten heart strip!

Being a hockey fan, I always imagined Puck being named for his coloring

I’ll be coming back to this one anytime I need a hit of oxytocin.

Pu-cky-Bear

I have a cat who likes to be held the way Pucky is in panel four. He purrs in my ear, too.

Mailman hugs! OMC, Pucky is so sweet! Now Elvis will HAVE to believe!

Oh Yes!

Today is:

Festival of the Latest Novelties —"Sold only as a novelty," the most dangerous words in advertising—and sometimes the most amusing. Anyone still have a bobblehead troll? I can see by all the nodding heads that many do.

National Bluebird of Happiness Day —Unless it flies overhead, especially when you aren’t wearing a hat … I’m not sure why or how a “blue” bird became associated with happiness, which is the opposite of being blue. Humans, what a concept. Whenever I hear the phrase “Bluebird of Happiness,” I remember a line from a parody: “May the bluebird of happiness fly up your nose.” Ouch.

National Cherries Jubilee Day —Life is just a bowl of cherries, so add some ice cream and flambé it brandy—much better now, isn’t it?

National Punctuation Day —Que Victor Borge and his “Verbal Punctuation.” If you haven’t heard it, it’s a hoot, as well as a send-up of romance novels. And that is all, period …

That last panel with 3 PURRs again reminds me of the “Soft Kitty” song from The Big Bang Theory. :-)

This is the first Breaking Cat News I’ve ever read and it’s confusing to me. But I guess that makes sense for the newbies

Now would be the time to take another photo.

Yep—misty eyes have officially upgraded to happy tears. Pucky’s gasp and hugging purr did the trick.

Happy Birthdays to everyone celebrating today

We had several of Victor Borge’s records – When they originally came out, which shows how old I am! So funny, and you really should hear the “verbal punctuation” if you haven’t.

Puck is amazing he my fav

Pucky is the goodest little guy there is!

Puck must’ve gone straight to Heaven!

Puck and the Mailman are lovely together!

Elvis looks like he’s accepting it. Shocking. Puck is formal. He’s dead serious.

Well I don’t think it takes any great ESP powers to know that the great MegaOrb is just melting all over the place today.

Fantastic!

The postman always pets twice.

My Peep Toads mug arrived today, finally. It got stuck for over a week in a processing center near Cleveland! Figures! (People in my end of the state refer to Cleveland as “the mistake by the lake.”)

It is of such good quality. I had worried that the design would get distorted because the mug is narrower at the bottom than the top, but they managed to keep it from warping! The folks at Zazzle couldn’t have been nicer about tracking the package down, getting it moving, and offering to send a replacement via express mail if it couldn’t be found. ♡

“More mellow than mischief” ah that our Puck could have been so described! BUT NO!! He was truly and accurately named. I still miss his little tuxedo morning greetings. We now have Jade and Pippin, the black shiny mini-panthers, Belle the giant fluff ball, and tiny (3 month old) grey and white “tuxedo” Gandalf. Pippin got so named because even less than two pounds, he was FEARLESS. Still is. And he is loving playing with Gandalf, who is now half his size (Gandalf just reached four pounds) I somehow feel sympathetic to those poor homes who have ONLY one cat!

Puck knew he wasn’t a myth. Elvis insisted on the myth thing because he has be the one to witness something for it to be real. And yet Puck is more observant than Elvis.

We know, Puck, we love him, too!

All I hear is “purr purr purr”!

Who wouldn’t be honored to be called “a good little guy” by someone as magical and mysterious as The Mailman!

Every … panel … is … PURRRRFECT!

Oh! I soooo love this : )

This is my favorite BCN strip ever. Period.

Awwww
