Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
It’s a Saturday cliffhanger. At least we only have to wait 2 days and not the 3 or 4 we had to wait in the olden days. Hopefully things start moving faster next week. Georgia did a good job of getting us to feel the anticipation of the cats and how slow time seemed to go while they waited for moving day.
I thought Puck would have made a sign to welcome them. Or charts to illustrate how a people move is done (mislabeled box, missing box, something broken).
That is the perfect way to describe it. Tommy was Elvis’ friend long before Elvis was aware. It’s good to be reminded of their history as they begin this new chapter.
For new folks, this is one of the earliest strips featuring Tommy and Elvis I could find from Georgia’s original web-only strip. This was when Tommy was still just “that cat” hanging around the back yard… https://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/that-cat-is-in-the-back-yard-again/ The original long-running Christmas “report” is the story of the beginning of their friendship (Bonus footage! The first appearance of the “Tommybaum” traffic cone Christmas “tree” – “Never guess she’s artificial!”) https://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/breaking-cat-news-christmas-special-part-one/
Lupin nose art! I still have a little nose art from Dually my Weim that passed 2yo. I just haven’t been able to bring myself to clean those pieces of glass even though I could see better out of them. My eyes would be clear but my heart would hurt if I cleaned his nose art off the glass.
I am in despair. I’m certainly not an English expert, but I’ve seen several articles this evening reporting that King Charles III will be “coronated” in May. He will be crowned!

I love Lupin and OZ’s noses and paws pressed up against the glass. Ah, the anticipation.

Rare Sighting of Toe Beans on Glass! So many toe beans …

Elvis doesn’t look annoyed for a change. They’re all waiting almost as eagerly as on Christmas Eve.

Starship: Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now
Standing at the window
Watching for our friends
As they become our neighbors
On the house’s first floor
Soon we’re gonna see them
Becoming friends and neighbors
Standing together forevermore!
…….
Used to yell at this window
But who cares about that?
Greeting our friends as neighbors
We’ll never look back!
…….
And we can nap and dream together!
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now!
And if this world runs out of bacon,
Our way we’ll still be makin’
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us now!
…….
I’m so glad you’ll live here
Now we’ll get to see you
’Most every day as you gather the news!
Broadcasting the good news
Even when there’s bad news
Imaging the times we’ll be having with you!
…….
Leaves may fall like crazy
But still we know
Through sunshine and shadow
Together we’ll go!
Let the world around us just fall apart
We know we can make it
We are strong of heart!
…….
And we can nap and dream together!
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now!
And if this world runs out of bacon,
Our way we’ll still be makin’
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us now!

Come to the window
Look outside
Wait with a “Welcome” balloon
Come to the window
They’ll be home soon
Elvis didn’t like Tommy
Just listen to him confess
And he would stand inside the house
And yell ’til outta breath
But now as things sometimes go
He realized his mistake
Tommy is a friendly guy who
Wouldn’t harm bug, bird nor snake
He’s a sweet boo
Just a sweet boo
Oh, a sweet boo
Oh
Come to the window
Peer outside
It’s movin’ day at last
Lean on the window
Gonna have a blast

We have five cats now…Five*, and a dog. When I get home, four of them and the dog meet me at the door; only Holly-Bear is the lone holdout.
*Yes, I am seeking professional help for my addiction.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile
Sophititi: Thank you for all the lovely found objects. Will you be coming to Egypt soon?
Iron Glove: YES! I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE LUPINIUM AND WALLY, AND ORA Z!
Maat-Tilda: I get the impression you are somewhat enthused.
Adobe Style: I think he’ll enjoy a good run and thwump with Lupinium and Ora.
Tabith-Isis: When you get there, we’ll have a lot of gold and precious stones for you. I’m glad you’ve found a use for them.
Adobe Style: How is Beatrixia doing with the scroll room at the Very Good Pyramid?
Tabith-Isis: She’s cataloging everything as we speak.
Adobe Style: Funny how there always seems to be precious stones and metals close by the real treasure.

Is Lupin waiting eagerly, or just showing Ora how to make noseprints on the glass?

(“Both” is an acceptable answer.)

Aw, Elvis. None too secretly a sweetheart. Just to very specific people, and it takes time. And that’s OK.

I think that may be as close as we will ever get to Elvis admitting he was wrong.

This is adorable as heck. This is also a nice callback to their past. Though even now Elvis can’t admit he’s wrong.
