Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 11, 2022

Elvis toe beans save the people from being eaten alive in effigy!

Sunday Funday

This is an insightful and accurate report. Gingerbread people-shaped cookies are creepy. Someone needed to say it.

The gingerbread man looks blissfully unaware of the fate that awaits him when he hits the floor.

I don’t think Elvis will be truly disturbed until the Woman makes a batch of gingerbread cats, each of them iced to look like the BCN crew, plus friends …

Oooh. Red and green sprinkles.

When you disturb Lupin, you’ve Gone Too Far!

Without Elvis, The People would be doomed. It looks as though Lupin, or at least his lunch, is doomed already. I don’t want to know what is happening off camera in panel six.

Poor Lupin, it is kind of gross when you put it that way.

I love how Goldie rattles all that stuff off. Poor Lupin.

I love Elvis and is ongoing fight against the dark arts

Sometimes you can’t believe what you read…

Elvis has saved The People from doom. But it looks as though Lupin, or at least his lunch, is doomed. I don’t want to know what is happening off camera in panel six.

Who can make some cats cry?

(Who can make some cats cry?)

Sicken them anew

(Sicken them anew)

Covered with shocking inedibles, oh phew!

The Candy Man (the candy man)

Oh the Gingerbread Man (the gingerbread man)

The G-Man can fly ‘cause he’s mixed up with bad stuff

And tastes like a basement

(And tastes like a basement)

Who can give it a throw?

(Who can give it a throw?)

Down there with a sigh

(Push it outta sight)

Shove it down for fun and make that gooey raisins fly

The Elvis, man (the Elvis, man)

Oh, elfish Elvis man can (the Elvis man can)

The elf Elvis can ’cause the gingerbread is rough

And tastes like a basement

(And tastes like a basement)

The Gingerbread Man makes every bite one takes

Unsatisfying and egregious

Now, you talk about your cathood wishes

You would pre-fur to eat the dishes

So, who came right here to throw?

(Who came right here to throw?)

Whip it just like cream

(Whip it just like cream)

Down the kitchen-counter-cliff with an all reliefing scream

The Elvis, man (the Elvis, man)

Oh, elfish Elvis man can (the Elvis man can)

The elf Elvis can ’cause the gingerbread is rough

And tastes like a basement

(And tastes like a basement)

(The Candy Man / Sammy Davis Jr.)

…What does a basement taste like?

This is hysterical this morning! I have to wonder if Georgia giggled through the whole thing because I’m still laughing and will be off and on all day when I think of this one. Too funny… *herk

This is hilarious!

I’ve often toyed with the idea of making a gingerhenge for winter solstice, complete with sacrificial victim in a candy cane cage.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Thomios: Tea, kat koffee, and scones for everyone in the dining room.

Elvis-Anum: Wonder what’s the occasion.

Beatrixia: Maybe there’s going to be an announcement.

Puckmosis: I heard the Artisans have created a new piece of artwork.

Elvis-Anum: What are we waiting for? Let’s head to the dining room.

*At the Royal Dining Room*

Serfig-Aro: My fellow Cats! All rise for your Queen!

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: My wonderful subjects! I am pleased to announce that Thomios, Sophititi, Maat-Tilda, Adobe Style, and Iron Glove have gotten together to create the most exquisite Edible Art. Thomios?

Thomios: Thank you, Your Majesty. My Artisan friends and I have created this special cake and these cookies with edible jewels.

Puckmosis: So beautiful.

Elvis-Anum: They almost look to beautiful to eat.

Lupinium: Not really! Let’s eat!

Do you see what I see? (see what I see?)

Said the news cat to his many fans,

Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?)

Near the table looking in the pan

Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)

A cat, a cat, retching in the night

With a face as green as a sprite

With a face as green as a sprite

Said Goldie to her readers everywhere

Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?)

Gooey eyes and icky hair

Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)

Pucky, Pucky holding a cookie

With a voice of authority

With a voice of authority

Said Pucky about the tasteless things

Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)

In a kitchen warm but disgusting

Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)

A vile, a vile cookie tastes like mold

I am strongly opposed

I am strongly opposed

Said Elvis to the people everywhere

Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)

Pray for sanity if you care

Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)

The dough, the dough baking in the night

It will bring us darkness and blight

It will bring us darkness and blight

I actually like Gingerbread cookies, and honestly, it depends on the basement in question.

OT:

I honestly think this is the funniest BCN I’ve ever read!

Thank you for that PSA, Elvis. And IYF toe beans in last panel! Squeee!

Dark gourmet sorcery. Well, when you put it that way …

Fresh gingerbread cookies are delicious. Pepparkakor and pfeffernuesse are better, but a tender gingerbread cookie can be delightful.♥

True enough! Cats don’t appreciate the gingerbread flavor. Dogs, on the other hand. But then dogs will eat anything!

Wait until they eat them. That will really disturb the cats. Given the feline-loving nature of the family, I am surprised and, in the context of this comic, relieved that there are no gingercats.

I never was a fan of gingerbread, but I don’t even want to think about what they would taste like under the worst circumstances!

Five gingerbread men lying on a tray,


Elvis pushed one off and it fell away,


Shouting “Catch me, catch me,


Catch me if you can.


I’ll break if I hit, I’m


the gingerbread man!


The gingerbread man,


the gingerbread man,


I fall off the table, I’m


the gingerbread man!”



Four gingerbread men lying on a tray,


Elvis pushed one off and it fell away,


Shouting “Catch me, catch me,


Catch me if you can.


I’ll break if I hit, I’m


the gingerbread man!


The gingerbread man,


the gingerbread man,


I fall off the table, I’m


the gingerbread man!

Just one gingerbread man lying on a tray


Elvis pushed one off and it fell away,


Shouting “Catch me, catch me,


Catch me if you can.

The gingerbread man,

No gingerbread men lying on a tray,


Elvis pushed them off, out of the way

Oh how I wish they had


stayed with me to play


Next time I‘ll eat them

“Gingerbread is sickly sweet & tastes like a basement.”

Nah, that would be fruitcake!

Gingerbread from a good recipe has a bite. The sugar is a secondary ingredient.

I’m with you, Elvis. The cookies must be destroyed.

OT

Not real people – very Fraudian (sic)

Didn’t think cats could turn green……

Dark gourmet sorcery… Now that’s gooooood eatin’!

“HERK!” is right.

Notice that Elvis chose The Boy as the first to go.

TMI I’m getting over a minor illness, and just had to ::herk:: myself. Power of suggestion?

We load them up with ginger (about 1.5x what the recipe calls for) and make them thick. Just perfect for an afternoon tea,

Elvis! Wait! I need to ask him if he knows the Muffin Man!

I just love Lupin’s green-faced “Herk”!

I think the adorable gingerbread family is doomed. Check with Robin to be sure, but though.

I actually like gingerbread, but today’s comic is great. Elvis might be right about the darkness of eating your on effigy. I’d never thought of it like that before but he, as usual, makes a good point

Lupin about to boak (puke, hurl, barf) is surprisingly cute. Not for Lupin though.

Not actually off-topic:

I feel like Lupin looks in panel 5. It’s been a week and I’m tired of feeling rotten. Much as I love gingerbread, today’s strip makes me feel a bit queasier. Y’all have a nice day.

Gingerbread is delicious with some fava beans and a nice Chianti!

I’m not a fan of gingerbread, but I can understand how it goes with the fall/winter season. It just is what it is! :)

The mouths are black and none of them have any hair.

OT: Someone on facebook asked Georgia about ordering a print from GoComics: “Thank you for asking! That is the best way to order a print, and I get a better cut than on any other service I use! (I believe I get half, if I’m not mistaken!) Anything GoComics creates directly I tend to get better percentages from, vs third party services like Zazzle. Zazzle helpful to have too, (every little bit helps!) but my syndicate GoComics/Andrews McMeel is looking out for its creators more directly and has more power to pay us higher percentages from the merchandise they can offer readers.”

I used to make Gingerdread men. I decorated them in the red green and gold of Rastafari

HOW DARE YOU PUCK!!!! Gingerbread is delicious and tastes nothing like a basement

OT:

my admiration for your art and humanity continues to grow

You think that’s weird? Let me tell you about Transubstantiation.

If it tastes like a basement you are making it wrong! :) Gingerbread is yum-yum-yummy!
