Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 06, 2023

I have the dread sense that Magnet is about to do something stupid.

Smooth operator. Even after getting clobbered.

Stay hidden, Magazine! Let Baba Mouse handle this!

“Here’s a handbasket. Use your imagination.”

Baba says, “One of these days Wicket. BAM, ZOOM, straight to the moon!”

Ninja Minicoon powers activate!

Of course, Wicket is still trying to get Baba to love him. Although he already blew it when he left her on that island 25 years ago (was it 25?).

There’s the Baba tail poof we’ve been waiting to see!

Does he really expect anyone to believe he is looking for a place to stay?

He’s been out of the rehab center for at least a week or two! What does he really want?

In the end we know his charm and looks will go, life goes on without him.

Famous cads whose names starts with W: Wickham, Willoughby, and now Wicket. The Austen novels could’ve been a lot more lively had the Bennett/Dashwood ladies been allowed to give the dastards a thorough drubbing …

Who told Baba Mouse that the Moon was lovely? We haven’t heard from the rabbits in the current story arc, and as every good Japanese tale-teller knows, rabbits live on the moon.

Baba, the moon isn’t nearly far enough. You need to give Wicket a one way ticket to the outer reaches of the Oort cloud.

This just in: That Owl is BAD NEWS – Beatrix BCN embedded at a location not to be revealed.

OT sort of

I hope Beatrix and Magazine have enough sense to know they need to keep the younger kits safe. Does Beatrix have her phone with her and charged up so she can send information about Wicket’s location to the adults?

Re: Everything Coming Up Beatrix! I want the tea set on p. 18.

A trip to the moon for owls would be cool since they kill snakes.

Perhaps if he had a beautiful pea green boat.

Oh no! The kids think they need to get involved. They don’t know how wicked is Wicket.

That’s pretty much the same response as I used to get when I tried lines like those.

Georgia on Facebook: “Wicket and Baba write themselves. I just listen!”

Unfortunately Beatrix has a penchant for charging ahead without thinking. And the princess is a kindred spirit.

Ot -Samson

I agree with Baba, and add my-HISSSSSSSSSSS!!!

another take on the Owl and the Pussycat?

A little OT today. Do any of you read Crumb? You should today. It’s very cute.

Once again, with subtlety, Georgia can have her characters’ faces do the talking: Princess Mags in panel 2 is angry (or at least her eyes and eyebrows are!), and in panel 4, her little paw clenches say it all!

I’ll bet that silver-tongued Wicket sweet talks Baba again.

As much as I would love the kits to stay safe, I have a feeling they are about to employ some treasured raccoon artifacts.

What a great “shot” of all the raccoon kits! I can just see all their eyes glowing if you turned on a flashlight.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Beatrixia: So did Meowses join in the fight?

Elvis-Anum: Yes. She writes about confronting a parliament of owls, and their allies the moles, with her army:

As I went out to join in the battle, there was a parliament of owls, almost an entire congress. I gave the battle cry, “GIT!” Some of them flew off, but then the moles arrived on the scene. It seemed like there were 6.024 X 10²³ moles, but probably no more than 20 or so. After sparring with them for quite awhile, they shouted, “We’re not gonna git! What are you gonna do about it?"

I was at a loss as to what to do, until I heard a voice behind me shout, “When Princess Meowses says GIT, you Git!” As the moles scattered, I noticed a white mouse decked out in battle gear. “Thank you,” I said, “Are you by any chance a member of the Ancient and Accepted Procurers’ Guild?"

“Yes, I am,” She replied. “Nefertasha at your service. Call me Tash. My friends Viola, and the sisters Alsace and Agneta are here to help in any way we can."

“Have you seen my true love, Growl Tiger?” I asked.

“Yes. We’ll take you to him.” Tash replied, “He’s in the battle by the Midnight Oasis.”

“How did you find out where he is?” I asked.

Tash replied, “We’ll never tell!”

You tell em babba!

Ot-

OMC! The barn rafters full of furries! 6 kits and a cat! Readings on my Adorbs-Meter are off the scale!

Ears back, tail poofed- Baba is ready to defend her barn!

Are we about to see Chekov’s Fire Extinguisher?

Were this not a family publication, Baba might be telling Wicket to go somewhere else whose name has four letters.

.

Ohio!

.

…wait, what did you think I meant?

Whack him with the broom some more, Baba, he’s clearly not gotten the hint yet.

Heck?

O.T.

Aw, the owl is a hopeless romantic! (Quickly shooting up the list of fav characters)

All that will be left of Wicket are his feathers if he’s not cautious.

Wicket One, you are cleared for lunar insertion!

“That owl is bad news.” Well, either or both of these statements could be famous last words, but… I dunno, he looks OK to me.

That owl is NOT your battle, Princess Magazine!

I am reminded that, in Sluggy Freelance, Gwynn just sent someone to the moon.

Impressive poof.

Puffy Tail!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I knew Magazine and Beatrix together would be TROUBLE!!
