I just LOVE Crotchety Old Angus here. Looks like Mouse took a few lessons on how to Old Cat from him (he’d be at least twenty here, from the flashback at http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/breaking-cat-news-halloween-special-part-eight/, the picture’s from 1968).
…I am ALSO struggling to not read Angus’ command in the style of the Rolling Stones…
My 3 AM initial reaction to BCN: Angus still has some of his teeth…Mags’s actual name is Magnet!…so Natasha is Beatrix’s gossip buddy…Tommy Toe Beans!! And hey, there’s Jules!
Magnet kind of reminds me of Cyndi Lauper (She’s so Unusual) or perhaps someone with a vivid imagination having carte-blanche at an early ’90s thrift shop where one could find stuff to look like Ms. Lauper did when she topped the charts a few years earlier in the mid ’80s. The multi-tie skirt is/was a cool look, very Bohemian!
Okay, it’s been quite a while since I’ve DnDized any BCN characters, But today I’m going to do Mags. Raccoons can be either firbolg or bugbears depending on whether you want to cast them in a positive or negative light. Mags is the first time I’m multi-classing anyone. I see her as a Mastermind Rogue/Circle of the Shepherd Druid
Ah, now we will see the origination of the animosity between BaBa and Magnet. Magnet’s tie skirt reminds me of a Roman battle curlies, a kind of skirt that was made out of leather strips, often covered with bronze. Not much protection in battle, your legs were bare, but it left you very quick to move which was its own advantage.

Love Angus’s reaction to Princess Magnet. Just what I’d expect from an older gentlecat. And yes! There she is, a young Princess Magnet.

The Carpenters: Yesterday Once More
When I was young I would cover all the news there was
Meeting with my old cat friends,
Chasing trash pandas away,
It made my smile
They were such happy times and not so long ago,
I got to missing some old ones,
But they’re back again, some of my long-lost friends,
In the Big Pink House each day!
…….
Hearing Sha-la-la-la,
And each wo-oh-oh-oh
Is fine
Even shing-a-ling-a-ling
From Princess Magnet’s bling
Still shines,
Memories from those days
Never quite go away,
Sometimes even make me cry,
Just like before,
It’s yesterday once more…(shooby-do, lang lang)
…….
Now today we have the news from in the house
And reports come all around,
From our own Cat About Town,
And the book store,
But still I remember when I did the news,
Protecting lawns from all the trash,
Those great memories
Are still on film for me,
And I’m on the scene once more!
…….
Hearing Sha-la-la-la,
And each wo-oh-oh-oh
Is fine
Even shing-a-ling-a-ling
From Princess Magnet’s bling
Still shines,
Memories from those days
Never quite go away,
Sometimes even make me cry,
Just like before,
It’s yesterday once more…(shooby-do, lang lang)

And Mouse has revved up from 1-fang to to a 2-fang expression of disapproval of the Princess! I’m sorry Jules appears to be leaving!?

Mouse
With her mic
Shares her dislike
Mags is a schemer
Mouse knows
How to hustle
Magnet
Is a rare
Princess heir
Mouse don’t care
Yeah she’s
Got the muscle
Mouse got the news
