Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 17, 2023

“I’ll make it easily! I’m taking the Express!”

Didn’t see that coming!

Agnes is wearing the cactus spike coat! (Just in case Wicket doesn’t recognize the neutrality of the Press!)

Cannonball Natasha for the win!

OH MY CAT! Mouse Cannonball to the rescue! Now the race is on, to warn Pucky!

Where are her swords? (Needles to you and me)

No wonder Natasha had to remove her coat. She’s about to slip the surly bonds of Earth Thimblefist seems more than happy to flip the switch. Let’s hope Mags knows how to aim that thing away from trees and light posts. Happy landings!

It’s good to see the raccoons willing to help once the main battle is over.

Oh dear, he forgot to tie a pillow on. I hope he lands in some soft moss.

Well, that blows. And if the switch is set wrong, that’s really gonna suck…

Natasha is implementing a Mighty Mouse impression!

Miiiice Iiiiin Spaaaaace!

Extremely cool job!

Mouse is fired from cannon and flies towards the house. Suddenly through the clouds a wicked owl comes and grabs the mouse mid air and flies away to eats it. Meanwhile, the moles, the zombie bunnies, the owls, and the zombie bats is attacks the house. With little hopes cats is meows of despair. And then suddenly, them ghost cats is appears and scares away zombie bunnies and bats. The moles and owls however is no stops attacks as they is no sees ghosties. The raccoons is heading towards the house but can they gets there in time? Or is the cats doomed? Stays tuned for the next exciting episode on the same cat time, the same cat channel.

I love it, but it also makes me sad because our local Shrine can no longer afford to bring the circus to our area. This will be our first year without it :( For the last few years, this has been the closing act—a person being shot out of a cannon

Stop! She needs a helmet! Will no-one think of Health & Safety?

How are the cats going to defend themselves even if they’re warned? Unless of course a fire extinguisher shows up.

Don’t forget the main battle hasn’t even begun. Queen Mag declared war on Wicket on August 19 and said she was not fighting moles.

At first, I thought that was an In-N_Out burger bag

launch the mouse, save the day!

♪"She flies through the air with the greatest of ease …"♫

Ready! Aim! Fire!

She feels the need, the need for speed.

Love this arc! It’s been so creative and fun!

Who ordered a mouse airmail?

Airmail? Oh, boy. That really dates me. Or, more like carbon-dates me.

OT: Happy, happy, fun OT.

Here’s an oldie. The Cowsills: We Can Fly

See how the vacuum is like a rocket

See how I fly to the midst of the fray

Saving the day somehow!

Oh, Oh!

…….

Going to warn my cat friends

This battle must come to a successful end

It’s over when we say!

It may seem funny,

But I still know we are far from done here

So when when I am needed

I Can Fly!

……..

Oh I can fly!

……..

Hey Mr. Owl you’d best take care now

We’re coming for ya and we’ll never back down

Just turn around and flee!

Hey moles on the ground!

Take a look up and see what we’ve found!

We’ve banded together

And we will win forever!

With the help of my friends I can fly!

I can fly! Hey!

Enemies best surrender cause I can fly!

We always knew Natasha was a daredevil, but this takes it to another level!

She’s the greatest! She’s the best! Where ever there is danger, she’ll be there! Danger Mouse! Daaaaanggger Moooouse! KABOOM!!

Soaring through the air with the greatest of ease, a daring young mouse without a trapeze (or fear!)

The Murine Cannonball.

And this boys and girls is how the circus came up with the idea of shooting someone out a cannon.

But Wicket is still out there! The sky must be considered hostile airspace until he is located!

Fly me to Puck’s room

Let me not get shot too far

Get me close enough to strike

If moles do act bizarre

In other words: it’s a plan

In other words: baby, yippee!

Fill the tube with mouse

And send me to that Big Pink House

That is what we aim for

To keep Puck safe for evermore

In other words: here I go

In other words: moles, hello!

- Bart Howard – Fly Me to the Moon

Mouse-abunga!

Mouse cannon!

That is one happy, Shoutmonk!

Now we just need to hear that mighty pneumatic “PHOOT” noise.

I love the way the creatures have rallied to fight Molearchy – Let freedom ring!!

When I was about five, I saw a human cannonball act at the circus, and I knew that was what I wanted to be when I grew up. My plans changed, though, by the time I started college.

I really hope Queen Mag can aim well enough that Natasha flies (quicker than a diving Wicket) through the laundry room window (please tell me there is a small window up high to let some light in) rolls 3 times, and sticks her landing right in the center of the padded ironing board.

OT I couldn’t find where some of us were complaining about Auto-Corrupt earlier, and I was typing in gmail and realized that I really want to whiny-baby about that. I managed to switch from auto-correct to auto-suggest on the laptop, but on the tablet I have to spent half my time fixing the so-called “corrections”. But that’s not what I want to whiny-baby about. What really bugs me is that almost all the suggestions just look like ways to remove my actual Voice from my own writing. Grumble grumble grumble.

{Thank you. Thank you. I’ll be whiney-babying all week. :) }

Better change the vacuum to out.

Up she goes

into the wild blue yonder,

climbing high into the sky!

Now down she dives

driving the moles back under

all with one shoutmunk roar!

She’ll live in fame!

Wicket will faint with shame!

Nothing can stop

The Murine Air Corps!

♬ She’s a rocket mouse!

And I think it’s gonna be a short, short time

Til touchdown brings her ’round again to find

She’s not the robber villain they once thought she was ♬

She’s such a mighty mouse!

Props to Natasha for her quick thinking. Fire away!

Natasha is about to fulfill her secret dream of being a superhero and flying to the rescue!

CANONBALL!

Wow

Robin has warned us that everything is doomed in his land down under. Do a web search on “Incredible moment man saves a dog being ‘drowned’ by kangaroo” then select Daily Mail article to read about a man’s struggle to save his dog. (Spoiler alert, The man, dog and kangaroo survive to be doomed another day,)

I spy Montague’s hat in Queen Mags’ war wagon, just at the right edge of the last frame, up near the top corner. Hmmm.

Yay!

And I see Agnes has put on the quill coat.

I suppose if the vacuum is strong enough to launch moles into the air from their hidey holes, then it is strong enough to launch a tiny mouse all the way to the BPH. Hoping for a soft landing (and no Wicket interference).

♪ ♫ I believe I can fly ♫ ♪

Off-Topic

♫"Let’s go fly a mouse

up to the Big Pink House

Let’s go fly a mouse and

send her soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Of let’s go

fly a mouse"♫

“Gonna be sore in the morning!” , ‘Hellboy’

Yyyyyeeeeehhhhhaaaawwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haven’t had a good cackle like that in a while!

I wonder if you all have set a BCN record for most filks for a single strip? I can’t remember having so many wonderful tunes before. Does anyone keep track of these things?

Anybody else flash on Natasha channeling Dear Departed Slim Pickens riding the nuke down from the bomber in Dr Strangelove?

You may fire when ready, Queen Magly!

Thimblefist was born for this!

Oh my goodness! I love this !
