Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 07, 2021

I’m guessing Sophie is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan.

What’d I miss yesterday?

Goldie, is that you? It looks like your brother.

Hi, Burt and Sophie! (waves at them)

I’m almost positive that the Y2K threat has been vanquished. Although I think ETCs are still rampant.

Looks like a spoof of The X Files to me. I think Muldaire used to mess vampires and extraterrestrials up!!

SUNDAY FUNDAY!!

I missed this one completely.

There should be a cherry pie around here somewhere….

Is the log a reference to Twin Peaks ?

Looks like Puck is a Twin Peaks fan.

I don’t get it. A tap dancing log? I am really lost here. Albeit probably the only 90’s mystery show I watched was Murder She Wrote I guess, but I just don’t het this.

“Lovejoy and the Lady”?

“The Duchess and the Dustman”?

Uh-oh! When the log has a hat on, you know Bad Things are going to happen.

Sophie smiling, fanging, and dancing! You go, girl!! Sophie, you are now officially my spirit animal.

Lol. Special agent Dale Cooper, The Log Lady and Laura Palmer. Twin Peaks sure was quirky but the pie and coffee were damn fine.

Totally lost what’s going on.

Man I loved Twin Peaks! Who killed Laura Palmer? Agent Dale Cooper, Sherriff Harry Truman with Lucy Andy and Hawk, the Log Lady, Albert (the late Miguel Ferrer), Audrey Horne and her Dad, Donna Hayward, James, Norma and Ed, the General and his rebel son and of course Bob and others. David Lynch came up with some mind boggling stuff. The revival that was out on Showtime a few years ago was good as well as bizarre too with some interesting music at the end of each episode at the Roadhouse and still left the plot unresolved with Agent Cooper and Laura hanging at the end of its final episode as well, not knowing what year it was. You can watch that show many times and see something new each time. David Duchovny of X-Files fame played a cross dressing FBI agent as well!

I don’t get the hat reference or the dancing and I watched Twin Peaks.

Oooo cryptic and handsome! Just the right combo for a dashing ginger tom! ✿♥‿♥✿

Ooooh, I loved watching “Twin Peaks”! In fact, I even visited Snoqualmie once to see the waterfall that they showed in the opening credits!

mystery wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Just in case you forgot … Laura’s murderer is finally revealed as her father Leland Palmer (Ray Wise) who has been possessed by Bob ever since he was a kid.

What the heck Georgia? You nailed the " mystery" part for sure.

Burt paw pad!

Just what the ancient astronaut theorists had always suspected.

Since I worked 2nd shift most of the 90’s and never watched much TV in any case, this is all a mystery to me. But strips that reference books are another story…..as it were ;-)

I don’t gets it. What’s the meaning of a log dancing and it having a hat?

I want to watch Sophie mess up aliens.

Honey, this show’s so wrong but still I’m crazy ’bout it

Been watchin’ too long ‘cause I can’t do without it

Every chance it gets it seems to weird me more and more

But each turn commands attention much stronger than before

I know it’s messin’ with my brain

So why can’t I refrain?

Ain’t that peculiar?

Peculiar as can be

Ain’t that peculiar?

A peculiar-arity, hey, hey

(Warren Moore / Smokey Robinson / William Robinson Jr. / Robert Rogers / Marvin Tarplin – Ain’t That Peculiar)

completely lost too, so googled “dancing log Twin Peaks” and got a wiki for the Log Lady character who had apparent supernatural connections with a possessed log.

The Moody Blues: I Know You’re Out There Somewhere

The truth is out there somewhere

Somewhere, somewhere

I know I’ll find it somehow

In spite of aliens and Sasquach!

…….

Outside it’s dark and stormy!

But I’ve left behind my doubts and fears!

My log’s a tap dancing ballerina!

And the strength this fine coffee

Calls for a slice of cherry pie!

Now I’m ready to fight vampires

And gives the ghosts what for!

…….

The truth is out there somewhere

Somewhere, somewhere

I know I’ll find it somehow

In spite of aliens and Sasquach!

Yes, the 90s were all about the greatest monster of that time the dreaded “Y2K”

Owls?

Log???

However, Pucky is right.

This is a dang fine cup of coffee!

DANG fine cup of coffee! He just needs some cherry pie now.

Apparently this comic has to do with Twin Peaks. Never watched it so this one makes no sense.

They aren’t tuned to the same channel this morning are they?

A whole family of Twin Peaks fans! Yay! Me, too!

Never got into Twin Peaks, however, Marie and I were Buffy, Angel, Spike fans.

Marie listens to audio mystery book in her car on her way to work. She says James Marsters (Spike) is excellent as a narrator for audio books.

My log? Or am I misreading something here?

The CATS are not what they seem ;)

my main take away from this one is how happily comfortable Goldie seems. You’ve came along way baby!

I really don’t get it. Twin Peaks?

are those chopsticks Sophie is brandishing?

Sophie’s lethally sharpened vampire stakes are right out of Buffy’s weapons’ stash! You GO Sophie girl!

Along with ‘dark waters’, ‘owls’, and the rest, there are clouds.

Log is taking dance lessons? What???

OK. My burning question: Who gave Puck the coffee and is it decaf?

Burt? Puck is the Man in Black. (Although he needs some cool shades).

Log? Coffee? Must be Twin Peaks. Diane? How about a slice of that pie?

“My log?” What is that all about? Some cultural reference I missed.

Twin Geeks! (Don’t get me wrong, as I loved the show, too!). And with the aliens reference by Goldie, a dash of X-Files for good measure! … Now, where’s that ’ Dang ’ fine cup of coffee?! … :)

The sequel is out there. Oooooooooo.

Too bad all the major parapsychological memes were played out in the 70s by a ground-breaking (and ground-skidding) investigative team fiction: “Scooby-Doo”. However, that series could have used more coffee.

Hello! Studies show that buzzy mouse is objective the best toy. WIf you were other cats, I’d ask what your favorite to is, but since you are People, I’ll ask this: what is your favorite people-toy?

Hmmmmm… Twin Peaks Character Breakdown The Log Lady

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E623ZW_y-o8

The dialog sound drops out but the narration/description is interesting.

I give up. What does coffee have to do with owls.

This is perfect!!! So funny!!!

Top ten weirdest “Log Lady” quotes:

1) “One day my log will have something to say about this.”

2) “The dog ate so much earth it died.”

3) “This is a message from the log.”

4) “What really is creamed corn?”

5) “Shut your eyes and you’ll burst into flames.”

6) “The answer is within the question.”

7) “I do not introduce the log.”

8) “My log does not judge.”

9) “I have spit my pitch gum out.”

10) “You can ask it now.”

They’re either watching Ren & Stimpy or something by David Lynch.

Let’s hope that Puck doesn’t end up in the Black Lodge.

A mystery about a log? I really must get out more.

Funny send up of Twin Peaks and the X- Files.

Certainly never watched any ‘90s mysteries like what they’re describing here. Although it looks like Sophie is saying their watching The X-Files. Did try watching that a couple of times, never understood why it was popular when David Duboreme made it so hard to watch without falling asleep or changing the channels after a few minutes.

This strip makes me want to rewatch Twin Peaks.

Wow, Twin Peaks would be a good series to re-watch some time. It’s been years. I noticed Netflix has Fire Walk With Me, which I never did get to see…

SPOILER ALERT!

We used to watch “Murder She Wrote” with our daughter when she was in grade school. We’d keep track of how many times coffee was served and the elapsed time when the first pot was made. We also kept track of the first wrong arrest. We got the formula down.

Not all aliens are evil.

“How long have you known this … ‘Dick’?”

Oh Breaking Cat News you are a balm to my ’90’s soul.

I love a good mystery show.

Captain’s Log… ENSIGN, PUT MY LOG DOWN!

A log is dancing???

Alright, you all got me. I never watched Twin Peaks. I was too young for it when it first ran. But people have talked about it for years.

Tonight as I was scanning through, looking for something to watch, and there it is. So I’m starting the series. Sounds like I am in for a very strange and wild ride…

I’m confused?

Apparently, the ‘90s were like the ’60s: If you can remember them, you weren’t there.

I wasn’t. I have no recollection of where I was at that time, Senator …

I am SO HERE for Slayer Sophie!

Hahahahahaha

Ah, my beloved Twin Peaks.
