Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 04, 2020

“I don’t cause trouble, I criticize it” instantly goes into my top-rated list of BCN one-liners. Perfect! So Elvis.

From the mouths of babes;)

The girl is full of mischief! And I think she’s going to stay that way….

“Nah, I’m gonna crime.”

The Girl needs to be introduced to self-confessed bad girl role model Joni Mitchell as soon as possible:

♫”She don’t like my kick pleat skirt

She don’t like my eyelids painted green

She don’t like me staying up late

In my high-heeled shoes

Living for that rock’n’roll dancing scene”♫ (“Let The Wind Carry Me”)

The Boy and Lupin are struggling to avoid doom.

The Boy has even combed his hair.

“I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas‘Cause I ain’t been nothin’ but bad…”Songwriters: Roy C. Bennett / Sid Tepper

I seem to recall that The Woman told The Girl \last year to misbehave “just a little bit” so that Santa wouldn’t bring her so many toys.♥ https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/2019/12/29

At least the girl is honest.

She’s not bad, Georgia just draws her that way. ;)

Well, she’s neither faking it, delusional or Goldie

Love panel 3: “Agent of Chaos” and dispensing the Colgate gel all in one panel. LOL.

Young kids can do the darndest things at times. When my daughter was a bit older than The Girl and in a pre-school class, a policeman came to the class and explained to the children how to dial 911 if there is an accident in the house, they see a fire, a stranger trying to get in the house, etc…… Anyhow, a couple of days later, when I picked her up, us parents were given a note, explaining that one of the more ambitious girls in the class decided to test this “911” and call. We were told that while the authorities were not too upset ( I think they were simply happy there was no emergency), they did want us to explain to our youngsters that 911 was not a toy and that while no one was fined because of this first instance, misuse of the emergency line can result in a hefty fine and even a trip downtown if you are a repeat offender. That was 17 years ago and the young lady who did it became valedictorian of my daughter’s high school class and from what I understand is planning to go to law school in 2022 after she graduates from Gainesville (figures a Gator would do that, a good girl like my FSU daughter would never do anything like that ;) ).

Aww, the pink spots on Lupin’s and the Boy’s cheeks!

Small Bear here. I’d like to thank everyone for the lovely birthday messages yesterday. I had a wonderful day. You are the nicest people.

I have a t-shirt that says, “Dear Santa, I can explain.”

OT. Yen

Ha! I got here early enough that it didn’t take me all day to read the comments. Now I can go back to bed. Good day to you all.

Goldie toe beans!

Lupin hasn’t looked that innocent since he “accidentally” stepped on the switch that makes the Man scream.

‘Agent of Chaos’!!! I love it! They’re all agents of chaos! Even poor Puck who I love, but he’s even capable of a 2am run through the house! I’ve always been a little ambivalent towards Elvis, but he can be a pretty nice cat when he wants to be. Lupin, though. King Chaos. He thrives on it.

I love Elvis’s crossed front legs. Albert A. Cat often lounges in that fashion. Such sophisticates!

Lupin looks like he is a freeze-model. I wonder if he can hold it for the next twenty days or will the siren call of naughtiness be overwhelming?

Toon in tomorrow, same cat time, same cat strip!

I am an agent of chaos

She’d rather be a bad girl than a good

Yes she would, if she could, she surely would

She’d rather be so naughty, nay, misunderstood

Yes she would, if she only could, she surely would

Anyway, come Christmas day

No gifts, will she still feel that way

That child needs no toys to play around

She gives the BPH its happiest sounds

Its gladdest sounds

She’d rather be impish than sweet

Yes she would, if she could, she surely would

She’d rather squish toothpaste beneath her feet

Yes she would, if she only could, she surely would

[Paul Simon / Jorge Milchberg / Daniel Alomia Robles – El Cóndor Pasa (If I Could)]

Well, maybe sweet Pucky’d feel better if he made a chart comparing his “naughty” incidents last year with this year. Then project the number of expected gifts this year.

I know I’d feel better. lol

Me too, The Girl.

Me too.

:))

Girls just wanna have fu-un, oh! Girls just wanna have fun!

Semi-off Topic. At my niece’s house, it appears that the elf on a shelf organized a lively game of ‘Go Fish’ with the stuffed animals of the household. I have no idea if this link will work, but here it is: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10207884966718481&set=pcb.10207884968118516

So now I understand the motivation for the creation of Santa Claus

How old are these kids?

Bad girls have more fun.

I am a grumpy old fart who doesn’t like kids, but Georgia could probably spin off a strip of just her kids and I’d still follow it every day! (Fan of Swan Eaters too, OF COURSE.)

Daughter Two is a fan of this strip. She too was born an agent of chaos, still a whirlwind at 35. We have a photograph of Two in the exact Same position and age as drawn here, except she was upending a full box of cornstarch and playing patty cake. In fact I kept a camera out and photographed her often ; this kept my hands full until I could laugh at each situation.

cats like catnip toys !

me no ’wan preznts! jus ’wan b bd

my bro was exactly like that.

That look of glee on her face with the toothpaste. She’s having such fun!

Today is:

Wildlife Conservation Day: Obviously, The Girl is doing her part …

National Cookie Day: Even bad computers get cookies, but sometimes toss them. Don’t toss your cookies on the computer, or the magic smoke will come out and it won’t be able to do anything, let alone toss its cookies.

International Cheetah Day: Let’s hope the day is slower than that. Time is precious. We don’t want to be cheetahed out of any of it. The situation could get dicey …

National Dice Day: If you make your saving throw, you won’t be cheetahed out of time or cookies. Oh Craps, it’s double boxcars. Gotta run, if I can find my socks.

National Sock Day: If someone tries to cheetah you, sock them. If they got away with it, make it a well worn, unwashed sock. And stay on your toes, so you don’t get socked again.

Who would be more chaotic – by which I mean destructive – with the “meow phaser,” Lupin or the Girl?

Is that ‘bad’, or ‘baaad’?

I love it! Thank you for sharing—and the way you draw the Girl is so sweet. I love her rosy cheeks and curly hair!

That’s the kid of the future!

I grew up long before all this “Elf on a Shelf” and Santa as Alexa kid stressers, but my younger siblings and I never worried about Santa thinking we were bad. Our eldest brother was heck on Earth so we looked like little saints in comparison.

She’s not bad, she’s just drawn that way!

Hey, she needs a shirt or a hat or a pin or something that says “NAUGHTY AND GETTING WORSE” as in naughty and nice. I’ve got my mom’s pin with that on it around here someplace, I should dig it out and wear it.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Beatrixia: Elvis-Anum, do you have the list of gifts for the Royal Staff for the Feast of Giving?

Elvis-Anum: I’ve got it right here. Just checking it twice.

Beatrixia: I never know what to get the Royal Procurers. Whenever they want something, they just go and take it.

Elvis-Anum: Well, you can’t go wrong with cheese. Maybe a fine wine to go with it.

Beatrixia: I’ll see if Thomios has any ideas, too.

At the Royal Kitchen

Beatrixia: Hello, Thomios. Watcha doin’?

Thomios: I was just experimenting with a bread recipe, but for some reason it didn’t rise. It just sort of went crack.

Beatrixia: It tastes great. I think these crackers will be great with cheese!

Enter Lupinium

Beatrixia: Hi, Lupinium. Are you gonna crime this year?

Lupinium: No, I think I’ll behave. Although it is fun to be bad.

Thomios: Maybe you can find a good way to be bad.

Lupinium: Really? How would I do that?

Thomios: Oh, I think you find a way.

Girls just want to have fun.

Years ago, my 3 or 4 year old cousin hit her older brother. When my aunt said “Don’t hit your brother” she responded “But, Mom, I’ve got to be me!”

Future toys aren’t nearly as much fun as current mischievousness.

Wait, has the Girl put on a single sequined glove? Seems like she’s time traveled some thhirty-three years.

Personally his better stuff was earlier. But the girl appearently prefers that album.

Agents of chaos are a thing that have to exist to balance the universe.

You speak the truth, Elvis.

The girl and I are kindred spirits

Love the Girl pushing on Mom’s face. Fat cheeks around a great smile!

I love that comment! She is so honest!

What is the Girl putting on the Woman’s face.

Love it. : D

…and now I want “Agent of Chaos” merch!

“I’m not looking for trouble, I am trouble. Am I looking for you?”

With the Girl on the t-shirt.

We should all aspire to be agents of chaos….

Maybe we’re having a “Bad to the Bone” moment here … ? Good one.

I seem to recall hearing that Santa brings toys to good little girls, but he stays at the homes of ‘naughty’ (older) girls. I have always found the rewards of a bit of naughty to outweigh the value of a few toys.

You choose what you choose! That’s what you choose!

The toothpaste in the sink reminds me of the Ramona and Beezus movie. Also… Agent of chaos?! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha that was (is) me!
