Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 21, 2021

Thinking of you today, Katherine. Deep Peace to you.

“Recently” to a mayfly is ten minutes ago. “Recently” to a Galapagos Tortoise might be 75 years ago. It’s all relative.

Jules is looking a little desperate, and who can blame him?

Looks like he’s holding an iPad.

I see the Artist has worked her own name and date into the royal tapestry in blackletter. I love when she does that. It looks like Georgia is feeling better and can get more detailed with the art now that she doesn’t have to do all that font stuff and can just use her normal hand lettering and get more expressive with that too. Yay!

My brain is now defaulting to “raccoon opium wars”. Thanks, Strob.

He’s a witch! Burn him!

That’s one happy Princess Raccoon.

That raccoon court looks like a kangaroo court to me. Hopes of a fair trial are doomed.

Great Boot’s outfit looks like part of my grandmother’s quilt.

OT: =GRAAAAAWWWWWGGGGG=

Does that say “Great Boot, son of Compass the Wise”?

Is one of the raccoons wearing a … tennis net?

I certainly hope the verdict isn’t already written.

Who is representing the accused and presenting the defense?

It’s the day of raccooning for Jules.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Sophititi: Looks like we have some lovely space-time fabric to work with, Tillie.

Maat-Tilda: Yes. I think I’ll make an invisibility cloak. Maybe the Royal Potter can help.

Enter Jules

Jules: Well, I’m off to explore Julys throughout the space-time continuum.

Tillie: Have you picked out a year yet?

Jules: This year labeled 1991 looks interesting.

Sophititi: Just be careful. Time travel can be awfully tricky.

Jules: No problem. What could possibly go wrong?

I’m getting lost …

You know, I hope they poked holes in the lid of that jar…

Is it like GREAT SCOTT! But instead it’s GREAT BOOT!

Are the raccoons all named after stuff they’ve found in the garbage, or places where they’ve found garbage? Magnet, Boot, Gutter, Junk? Are we going to be introduced to a Lord Crumpled Coke Can at some point :-D ?

For the Space exploration fans:

Russia is launching its Nauka science module, which includes a new European robotic arm, to the International Space Station on Wednesday (July 21).

The new module will launch from Site 200 of the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan atop a Proton-M carrier rocket with liftoff scheduled for 10:58 a.m. EDT (1458 GMT). NASA will broadcast the launch live on NASA TV beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT (1430 GMT).

Less than 30 minute to lift-off.

Is that a mouse sitting behind Great Boot in the last panel?

It certainly looks like Agatha, the Golden Mouse!

A long time to a guiena pig, maybe. And I wouldn’t by the vile raccoon king was a great hero, more vile raccoon propaganda and Clover has bought into it.

Do you think anyone inadvertently called him “DAS BOOT”???

While we are learning more about the Raccoon civilization I would love to know more about their names and leadership history.

This doesn’t look good. It looks one-sided.

Are the wars really over?

I hope Jules will be okay.

Jules is still hitting the jar! So cute! Hope he has airholes……

I don’t fully understand Great Boot’s attire!? Is that a pair of head phones worn upside down? Anyone else figure any of it out?
