Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 23, 2021

Squirrel Girl? The mightiest of all heroes? Sing it, Girl!

Cute squirrel costume! If I was a kid, I’d insist on wearing it, too!

I recall her “are” a bunny. And why not be a squirrel for Thanksgiving. Seems reasonable to me.

Awwwwww!!! I don’t blame the Girl. That squirrel suit is darling! Look at her cute bushy tail and squirrel ears!

Don’t worry. Nana and all the relatives will love her in that squirrel outfit.

Why not wear both? Squirrel in a dress.

She definitely has that squirrel attitude going for her.

cutest squirrel I’ve seen in awhile.

Quick Panda update! She’s doing very well recovering from her surgery and has even found room in her warm, fuzzy heart to forgive me! (I’ve been bribing her with tuna and I’m not ashamed.) She is not a fan of taking her pain meds but luckily she only has a few doses left. Thank you so much, my BCN peeps, for all the good thoughts you sent her way. She hates everyone in the world but you.

Mmmmmmm, Squirrel Stew. A great Thanksgiving tradition.

I suspect the sweet formal clothes are doomed?

What? That’s it for OIXL? Of course, I am glad to get back to hard news (mystery of kitten paternity notwithstanding) but I was just on the point of getting the North Wind tile into the corner pocket.

@ladycat.I don’t know whether anyone has asked number one wife what she thinks about her husband taking a concubine. As I understand it (and perhaps I don’t; I claim no expertise) the following factors affect the wife’s attitudes.

- Taking a concubine shows that a man is wealthy and a person of consequence. As number one wife of such a man, and mother of his children, she gains face as his prestige grows.

- If he could take a concubine and doesn’t, people might think there is Something Wrong with him. This would be Shameful. The family would lose face.

- He keeps the family in luxury, so he deserves a little harmless fun.

You can try asking some number one wives and see whether they do think this way.

Don’t ask about the handsome young chauffeur.

Sorry, Gent, I missed your question on Saturday.

And I’m afraid my response will be really annoying.

“Meaning of life” – What does that mean? “Purpose of life” – Only one purpose? Imposed by “life” or self-chosen?

I do have some sympathy with the “We’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re …”

I guess the Girl got tired of being a bunny.

Honestly, I’d let her wear it. It was probably cheaper than the fancy formal kid-sized dress and is less likely to show gravy stains from spills. She can go outside and run around in it before or after dinner. And, in the long (and short) run, fancy clothes on children for a private at-home family event are not important.

Oh, come on, Woman. It’s not that difficult. What part of, “I. Are. A. Squirrel.” do you not understand?

I love how the Woman is gently jiggling the dress to draw attention to it!

Well, she’s nutty.

Someone has probably already said yesterday; Georgia explained on BookFace that in real life there are no guests visiting them this thanksgiving so this strip is just wishful thinking.

She are squirrel, hear her roa….er, chirp!

Will she wear it if the Woman points out that squirrels don’t eat dessert?

The squirrel suit fits her better than Ralphie’s Giant Pink Bunny suit did.

Elvis looked pretty spry yesterday, popping up on the counter, like he did. Unlike the momma’s boy who couldn’t get off the curtains earlier.

I think the squirrel can take him.

Two reasons: he loves her. She’s got a lot more energy going into this.

Plus we know the Avengers failed, but Squirrel Girl defeated Thanos by herself, well with about 1,000 of her closest squirrel friends.

Looking for gifts? All the BCN mugs are on sale today (50% off) at Zazzle.

She are a Squirrel mama! What don’t you understand about that?

Bless the beasts WHO.ARE.CHILDREN.

For in this world they have a voice

They have a choice

Bless the moms of the children

For their world will never be

The world they foresee

Bless the beasts WHO.ARE.CHILDREN.

Let them be out of norm

Keep them safe

Keep them warm

(And please bless little Lupin)

Amen – Hallelujah

I.AM.NO.LONGER.BUNNY!!! I.AM.SQUIRREL!!!! UNDERSTAND?

OMG, if Mitty (“Texts from Mittens”) sees her, he’ll freak!

Love this! For me of course it was my cat costume. I finally got convinced to shed the leotard and tail, but I wore the little cat ear cap right up til Christmas. (Looking back, now I wonder if there was a Santa threat involved in getting me out of it….). This also brought to mind the super cute Hyperbole and a Half story with Ally and the dinosaur costume.

Get dressed up for Thanksgiving? Why?

Doreen Green’s origin story revealed

I recall that I once wore a Superman costume from Halloween (until it fell apart) when I was a little girl, so seeing this strip has me smiling at the Girl.

Doreen?

Oh c’mon, Woman—the relatives will still gush for hours about her adorable squirrel costume and you know it. ;)

C’mon, if you could wear either a yellow dress or a squirrel suit, you’d wear the squirrel suit, right? You know you would.

Come now, Woman, use some sense. Squirrels do not wear dresses! You are now tasked with finding a very large soup can.

I’m with the Girl on this one. Why do parents insist on dressing their children up in clothes it is impossible to play or be comfortable in? I grew up long before there was “permanent press,” (unless you count enough starch to make armor plate). The shirt necks, especially, were always much too small. Children are not dolls. Grrr.

Squirrely little kids should not be encourage beyond a few days. Sure, it’s cute, until she goes to college either as a “furry” or a cosplay character.

Save your time and energy, Mom. Pick a more important battle! Eating 1 veggie?

Accurate. My two-year-old chose a “yellow robot” costume for Halloween (it’s Bumblebee from Transformers but he doesn’t know that so to him it’s a yellow robot) and has worn it every single day since. Oh the tears and screaming when we have to wash it. On the other hand, I definitely got my $20 worth out of it!

I like how the Girl is phrasing the statement now, and including the ‘A’

SHE ARE A SQUIRREL! With little fists on her hips. So cute!

Since from what we’ve seen so far, the Man and the Woman have the only children in their social group, why not let the kids dress for play. It’s not as if there will be “cute contests” among the parents (although the Squirrel would be a sure winner).

Squirrels probably were on the menu for the first Thanksgiving. Always abundant, especially if you are trying to grow corn!

Little Squirrel Girl is definitely giving the Woman the “Face of Nope.”

OT: Gandalf

heheheh squirell

Aww, a squirrel, like our forest friend, Homestyle!! I sure am glad she’s not a trash panda, er, raccoon.

Hi everyone, I Hamilton A. Cat

This is my first time on my Humans computer. It’s not so hard. He left for work so, heres I am!

I am not sure how often I can be on. I is in a good home, an he-s a good human but gets kind of weird when I do stuff he dont think I should. He rubs his eyes and shakes his head a lot.

But, he needs a helper in the kitchen, and I know food. By the way, if he says anything about sauerkraut, all I was doing was making sure it was good. Geez, you’d think I was eating the whole can. Never mind about the steak, fake news.

He won’t read this, will he? He really likes the other humans here, and I wants to be your friend, so don’t tell on me.

Your friend Hamilton

Cute dress. But I ARE BUNNY. Sorry I mean I ARE A SQUIRREL

Well, in that case, watch out for doggies, kid.

To the Girl – Stand strong as a squirrel

I mean really… Stop and take a look at panel 3; if you were coming to this house for T’giving which one of those 3 inhabitants seems most oddly dressed? It might take me 20 minutes or so to even notice the squirrel suit…

Georgia? You gonna be at Emerald City Comic Con?

Our daughter didn’t have a costume but she did have a tee shirt with strawberries on it. Same thing.

I don’t understand this fascination of The Girl’s — and probably The Woman’s, too — with rodents. Both squirrels and rabbits are in the Order Rodentia. And IRL, between the two, both critters are determined to both eat anything in our garden we can with much effort get to grow, and the seeds we put out for our local quail, ground feeders who need all the help they can get in this high desert environment. ’Sides, the quail have a lovely call and are so much fun to watch!

Ah, well, gotta admit Georgia’s critters are a lot more lovable than the ones we see outside our windows here! And The Girl is a e whole lotta cute with her bushy tail….

She’s going to grow up to be Squirrel Girl.

OT: My Uncle

She reminds me of my nephew Skippy. Although the outfit could do with a good purse.

My mom made me a butterfly costume when I was a kid – a vest with wings, dowels to hold the wings out… I wore it ALL the time for a year or so!

Need prayers, purrs and good thoughts for my mom. Last night I tried to call her and there was no answer, so I went down to her place this morning. She had fallen and couldn’t reach the phone. I called 911, and she is in the hospital with a fracture of the left arm. As if that’s not enough she also tested positive for covid. The nurse told me I needed to leave at once. So here I am waiting to hear from the hospital unable to comfort my 92 year old mom. Need the orbs’ healing power.

I like the girl

Homestyle would be proud.

This Thanksgiving I am going wear my tuxedo. My Canadian Tuxedo.

I just complimented a little girl at the restaurant we were at on her pretty princess dress…her dad rolled his eyes just a little when he replied “she’s been wearing it for nearly a month!”

She makes a really cute squirrel.

Is she “Homestyle”? If there was an adult size Thimblefist costume, I would wear it in a heartbeat.

the girl is wise, squirrels are the superior species by far.

we are all squirrel

“Lupin, the Girl are a bunny.”
