Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 26, 2020

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Goldie’s deely -bopper antennae match her beautiful green eyes!

Today is always a good day to pie!

…and now I want to hear that in Klingon.

STAR TREK NERDS: THE NEXT GENERATION.

Happy Thanksgiving to Georgia and her growing family (feline and otherwise).

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I’m glad to see Nana is right side up today. It was made so!

Just be glad you have cats and not tribbles, Woman. Tribbles are murder on a Thanksgiving celebration.

All those little hands and paws reaching for the food. Reminds me of he way my dad said grace:

“There’s the taters, there’s the meat.

Now all you hungry sinners sit down and eat."

I love and miss you Dad and Mom—forever and always and a day!

Live long and prosper, Y’all.

SunflowerGirl100 posted this late in the day yesterday, but I thought I would repost for those that missed it:

Facebook Announcement from Georgia "I have bad news, good news, and hopefully great news— The bad news: This is the second year I’ve tried to break down the 2016 ‘Our IX Lives’ Christmas special for newspapers… I just don’t think it can happen. We’d lose a lot of the details and fun bigger moments, like the cardboard car chase and Laundry Canyon. I may share link to the original strips online here and on Twitter this season with readers, but I just don’t think it’s going to work in newspapers. Hopefully we will get it into print in a future book! I’m sorry if you’ve been looking forward to it, I was too. But this means… The good news: This means a new Christmas special is coming!!! Look for it to start the first week of December! The great news: Ok, I’m a little nervous about this one because it’s not quite done yet, but I’ve been working hard and I’m pretty sure it’s going to happen… It looks like we WILL have a 2021 BCN calendar! It should go into the Zazzle shop around the second week of December. I wish it could be sooner, but that’s realistically when I can (hopefully!!) finish up the artwork for it. This means I will be postponing my originals sale until January or February of 2021, because I can’t tackle mailing out paintings & prints AND artwork for the 2021 calendar in December. We can always have the originals sale, but we’ve got a pretty hard deadline when it comes to New Year’s Day In the next couple of weeks I’m hoping to add the Christmas 2020 holiday cards and mugs to the Zazzle shop. And Beatrix’ “It’s been the week from HECK, in a year or straight up POOP” commemorative 2020 ornaments, magnets, and mugs. And I will be adding masks to the Zazzle shop too! Yes—MASKS! And (hopefully! EVERYONE THINK GOOD THOUGHTS! CLAP IF YOU BELIEVE!! 2021 calendars!!

I’m grateful with for my breaking cat news family for George’s Talent for my extended orb family here as well as my extended family all around the country and especially for my six rescue special needs cats and my foster dog.

I wish to express my Thankfulness. I visit many a sites. Some are hardcore Hate Festivals. The ones I enjoy are the comics. Though some of those can fling some really hurt feelings. BUT here in this tiny corner of the world… people are expressing love. Mostly love for those who are yelling at me to share some of my meal with them! (Grin!) But still… it is a place where cats purr! Thank you. Many a times… I need it.

500?! Those aren’t cats, they’re tribbles!

Yes, sometimes it feels as if one has 500 cats even though you really have four.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I have so much to be grateful for. I’ve had a lot of hard times in my life, but here I am, 70 years old, in very good health, with a roof over my head and food in the refrigerator. That makes me a very fortunate person, especially in these hard times.

Please stay healthy and safe.

Be thankful that you are not yet as doomed as you probably will be in the near future.

By the way, where are the robber mice? I’m sure they would like pie. Aren’t they having Thanksgiving? Why haven’t they even attempted to steal that pie?

Happy Thanksgiving! So thankful for Georgia and BCN and the wonderful Orb family that has built up around this comic. Love you all! ♥♥♥

This is a bargin day for well wishes!!! It’s my birthday (and a big one!) and Thanksgiving. Not always fun to share the day with Thanksgiving, but I get to spend this one with my friend Don, my Panther Princess Nushi and my Queen of Fluff Kira!!! I’m VERY thankful for that!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it and lots of love to the Mega Orb!!!! Please share what you are thankful for!!! I will start off by stealing the one I know most, if not all, of us are thankful for, and that’s the Mega Orb!! I don’t know what I would have done when I was going through Nushi’s FIP treatment without the Orb. And you all make me laugh and feel good about humanity which is sorely needed and appreciated!!!

((((((((((((((((((((Mega Orb and Team Nushi)))))))))))))))))))))))

They’re gettin’ restless, Georgia. You’d better let ’em loose!

It’s the future. Looks just like yesterday.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I suspect Goldie might actually get her paws on some food! BTW, always loved Star Trek TNG, along with DS9 (some real good ethical episodes) and Babylon-5 which kind of ran concurrently with the adventures of Picard and crew back in the ‘90s. I get my fix of all the Star Trek shows on the H&I channel whenever I need one from 8PM to 1 AM weeknights while MeTV has a lot of other classic sci-fi on late Saturday night, especially if you’re an Irwin Allen fan of his shows in the ’60s along with Kolchack and The Invaders.

The Boy is a tiny Captain Picard! ♥

Loving the Woman’s raised eyebrows.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Be safe, be kind!

Happy Thanksgiving, folks. Just letting you know I’m always here to help you get rid of all those leftovers.

Live long and paws-purr. (From a t-shirt.)

The Woman and the Man don’t have enough arms to keep the Space Cats off the table and away from the food.

As performed by The Late Great Louis Armstrong: What a Wonderful World

I see 500 cats, Star Trekers, too

Exploring pie is what they do

And I say to myself: What a Wonderful World!

…….

I see happy kids, and Nana there,

Apart or together, we all still care

And I think to myself: What a Wonderful World!

…….

The cats and the Humans all smiles with the pie,

So many new things are right there to try

I see the orb friends all join

At their tables, too

They’re really saying “I love you!”

It’s been one rough year,

This we all know,

But it will get better,

Let’s make it so,

Then we can all day again: What a Wonderful World!

Then we can all day again: What a Wonderful World!

Oh yeah!

Hurry, Lupin! Set your “meow phaser” for stun so you can get on the table to eat.

Warp Speed, Goldie!

“Ming the Merciless” does not understand this word “No.”

Gotcha! Lupin is not quite invisible in panel two.

A musical reminder from Georgia…..hope it’s not too late!

How many Klingons does it take to change a light bulb?

Two.

One to change the light bulb, the second to insult the first one for being afraid of the dark.

happy thanksgiving to all you americans out there (am i late we had thanks giving a month ago)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Wishing Georgia, her family, and everyone in the ORB a very Happy Thanksgiving!

I am grateful to know you all.

Live Long and Prosper ;-)

Didn’t that last saying come from Red Sonja from the Conan series?

Happy Thanksgiving to all, enjoy it with love. And Thank you Georgia for making me smile everyday.

All of these Star Trek references and not a single Vulcan salute?

All through my youth, I would wake up on Thanksgiving to the smell of Mom making turkey stock, with onions, celery and other ingredients. The whole house smelled wonderful. Although it had been years since Mom cooked because of the dementia, this is the first Thanksgiving where she is not with us. Miss you Mom.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here on the Orb and to Georgia and the world she created. I look forward to all of you, each and every day.

For hard-core original Trekkies, a list of some of my fave episodes. A Piece of the Bacon. And the Children Shall Feed. The Robber-Mice Maneuver. Where No Cat Has Horked Before. I, Thud. The Kitty on the Edge of your Dresser. For the Cabinet is Hollow and I Have Found the Kibble. Whom Cats Destroy. Let That Be Your Last Lampshade. Puck’s Brain. The Trouble With Kibble (the bowl is empty). Tomorrow is Yesterday (in 2020). The Crate. The Shredded Curtain. Spectre of the Fun. Errand of Furry. A Taste of Arm-and-Leg-Chomp. The Purry Years.

I am so thankful for this safe, peaceful and loving orb here at BCN. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Come pie with me, let’s pie, let’s pie today

If you can shooosh some whipped cream

There’ll be a cat livin’ a dream

Come pie with me, let’s pie, let’s pie away

Come pie with me, a big slice to cure any blues

In Nana-land, she made pies by hand

And wishes she could share over the zoom

Come pie with me, don’t even have to chew

Once we’re full up to here

We’re grateful for all we hold dear

You may hear

Angels cheer, ‘cause we’re together

Weather-wise, it’s such a lovely day

You just say grace then we’ll stuff our face

Down to the very last trace

It’s perfect for a pie-ing holiday, they say

Come pie with me, let’s pie, let’s pie

Forks up, let’s pie today

(Jimmy Van Heusen / Sammy Cahn – Come Fly with Me)

Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating today.

Happy Thanksgiving! So grateful for this fun comic, and all the lovely people involved – creator Georgia, family, readers! Thanks for being a nice community.

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! I am thankful for each and every one of you, and for Georgia and her family, who bring us to this wonderful Orb! And super thankful that the bone density is obviously still excellent so the fall I took at the laundromat yesterday did not result in any broken bones! Decided I would put the cat beds in to wash while I went to p.t. (laundry and therapy are in the same building). And thank Cat I was the only person in the laundry at the time! Distracted and thinking ahead, I turned a corner around a row of washers and tripped over a row of plastic chairs. Somehow managed to hit that hard tile floor with both knees, both elbows, both hands, jarring shoulders, neck, hips, and lower back. After the initial shock wore off, went on to therapy to try to ward off stiffness but did an abbreviated session. This morning everything aches. But the two things that annoy me most are 1) That prior to the fall I was feeling unusually good and energetic; and 2) That the building owner has an abundance of security cameras in the laundromat and if he watches the tapes is probably going to be laughing his @$$ off at the sight of me flying halfway across the room. At least we now know I can get up off the floor on my own! Everyone have a safe and happy Turkey Day—love you all!

Should I admit we have a framed poster of the first three versions of the Enterprise signed by James Doohan hanging over our bed?

A good Thanksgiving to you and yours, Georgia and everyone who is into cats!

I am glad to see that Goldie is feeling confident enough to push her way in to the table as well as the Good Boys. How can a few cats become 500 or more at times?

And Nana? Everyday is a good day to pie.

Happy Thanksgiving Georgia! I love your strip!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Orb! Be safe.

Elvis seems to have accepted his space robe. I don’t want to say it, but could it be pie?

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

Today and everyday, I am thankful for this welcoming place.

Happy BIRDday to all

You mean a good day to FARCE!!!

I’m contenting myself with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade…. from 33 years ago.

Happy Thanksgiving to the Orb! I am thankful we all can be here virtually and help each other when needed.

Happy Thanksgiving to Georgia, her family, her cats, and all of her devoted fans. I am most thankful for all of these. Guaranteed love and smiles every single day.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I am thankful for the health of my family and my cat

We had pumpkin and pecan. I made brown butter for the first time for the pecan filling. It worked. I used the simmer burner.

Over the table and through the room

To the Nana’s PC they zoom

The ’net knows the way to connect her screen

To a sweet BPH family scene – oh!

Over the cables and through the air

We see such love & care

Aromas can’t touch the Nana’s nose

That’s just how the 2k20 goes.

Feeling all thankful and blessed, OK,

To visit a Nana-safe way

Oh, hear cats say, “Pass the entree!”

Hurray for Thanksgiving Day!

OT: Thanksgiving

Today is:

Thanksgiving, a.k.a. Turkey Day: A happy, healthy Thanksgiving to all here, their kith, kin, and ilk (the latter includes all the gnu people who have recently discovered BCN.) This is also a good day to pardon all the turkeys you’ve encountered over the past year. Every year since 1987 the President has pardoned a turkey. I keep hoping that some year, a president with a sense of humor will pardon himself or herself for getting elected. This is because the epithet “turkey” has two meanings: One is an unimaginative, obstructive, obliviot. The other is someone who is always willing to overextend and over-commit themselves. Try saying, “I’ll do it!” as fast as you can, three times.

Turkey-free Thanksgiving: This holiday is sponsored by the Turkey from the comic “B.C.,” One of my favorite characters of all time. This year, we are honoring him by having “Garbage Can Pizza”: whatever you have that goes well on pizza. Not sure how or why I started the name, possibly because there are so many different ingredients. The human mind is a strange thing. Mine is stranger than most. In response to my saying, “I just had a thought,” a friend replied, “Be nice to it, it’s in a very strange place.” I responded, deadpan, with a Spockian eyebrow, “Indeed, it is. Would you care to hold onto it so it doesn’t get lost?”

Good Grief Day: Charles Schulz’s Birthday. I’ll always have a special, fond, warm memory of this strip, which I grew up with. It is hard to give adequate praise of someone who is certainly among the greatest comic artists of all time.

National Cake Day: It is only bad luck that this year it falls on a day renowned for pie. However, because of this, you can eat a balanced diet: pie in one hand, cake in the other. Damn the blood sugar, warp speed. Make it so.

Soon as I started to debone the turkey (would cook faster), my little Vlad asked for some. I told him that he had to wait until after it was cooked. And after it was cooked, and I pulled it out, Sebastian came over and demanded some. I told him he had to wait until after it sat for a bit, while I baked my biscuits. If I let them, they would have eaten the whole thing then.

Happy Givethanksing!!!!

Did you hear about the guy who went into a rage when he got the shorter end of the wishbone? He just snapped!

What do you call a turkey with no feathers? Plucky!

What’s the best type of music to play during Thanksgiving dinner? Plymouth Rock!

What do you call it when people take turns making fun of the Thanksgiving turkey? A roast!

What kind of dessert do mathematicians eat on Thanksgiving? Pumpkin pi!

Did you know that the pilgrims brought cats over on the Mayflower? They were called purr-itans.

I give thanks for this wonderful strip in these difficult times. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American cousins. I hope you are well into a good turkey coma.

Happy thanksgiving everyone, sorry that I’m late.

Happy late thanksgiving everybody!

Start Trek over Star Wars??? Come on!

“It’s a good day to pie,”

I like that one.
