Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 21, 2023

No!!!! Look out!

Oh look! It’s the bad penny, come to spoil the day. Now we have to wait until Monday, when hopefully he gets his comeuppance. One should take every opportunity to say the word comeuppance.

Now THAT’S a cliffhanger.

… But of course!

Oh, now THIS means war.

Creedence Clearwater Revival: Bad Moon Rising

I see a bad guy coming

I see trouble on the way

I see more conflict coming

I see more fighting for today!

…….

Don’t be alone tonight

If you value your life

There is a bad guy flying this way!

…….

I see an evil owl flying

We may not know his plans just yet

There may be more before finished

He doesn’t know how hard things can get!

…….

Don’t be alone tonight

If you value your life

There is a bad guy flying this way!

…….

He may not have support he once had

He may not know what happened on the ground

He may not be quite as successful

In just may not go his way!

…….

Don’t be alone tonight

If you value your life

There is a bad guy flying this way!

…….

Don’t be alone tonight

If you value your life

Look for the litter room on the right!

Again the eagle-eyed (owl-eyed?) correspondents were correct in that distant bird’s identity. Game On!

Now we have both Princesses Magazine AND Puck and the big pink house to worry about. Of the two, I’d be most worried about what Wicket will do. Who will save the day?

Now we need Violet to show up and do the flour trick with her little bag of tricks (flour tricks). Come on, Violet!

With any luck, her “crown” will protect her somewhat.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: So it looks like King Montague is back in his right mind. But we’re not out of the woods yet.

Beatrixia: But they weren’t quite out of weapons. Let’s not forget the multicolored dots on your chart.

Puckmosis: That could be the part Lupin played.

Enter Wicket

Wicket: Hello everyone, I understand you have a story about the future.

Bea: Yes. Your descendant is being a bad owl.

Wicket: I know a little about him. Apparently he didn’t follow the tradition of joining the owl temple. Became something of a n’er do well.

Enter Baba-Stet

Baba: Well, he should learn to do a lot better!

HOW Monty returned and now how wicket has surprised me but the fact they did didnt. Its never good when the big bads suddenly go missing. I worry for magazine as a bargaining chip and bea for petty vengance

Oh Beatrix! Watch out! That oatmeal box is not going to be much protection from the overhead danger.

Attacking a child? That’s pretty low, even for Wicket.

I’m still hoping for the ghost cats to make an appearance, I can’t believe Georgia would let a Halloween go by without them…

It looks like Princess Magazine isn’t out of the woods yet. Bea might be safe, I think Wicket is more interested in the Princess and I don’t think he can carry them both off. Hopefully Alice and Violet are nearby, I assume Natasha is still at the BPH, though we don’t know what is going on there.

" Grandmother thinks I’m a little girl, well ill show her:"

Jaws music starts playing

Well owl be darned. What’s that flying down before moon.

Gonna kidnap the Heir? Doubtful. Baba will be there…

I’m trying to figure out what all that white in the third panel is. Fire extinguisher residue?

“What are you doing here?”

“Saving the throne. You know… You!

The kid has got her priorities straight. Made my heart clench and my eyes tear up.

Owl just waits a little longer at dinner table. It soon time for owl kebab.

Look out!

What cha waits for? We owl must gets together and warns raccoon cub.

Here comes the final battle.

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

Here comes the final battle. I hope Wicked Wicket gets his.

Old mag is a great leader. Build your people up, don’t tear them down. Good positive reinforcement!

Something tells me we’re in for a big surprise.

FOR CAT’S SAKE, LOOK BEHIND YOU!

UH OH

To quote Charlie Brown “aarugh!” You mean I have to wait till Monday!

It’s not over until it’s over …

Magazine certainly is a hero. Who do you call when you need someone to save a hero?

OT: Oh, Good Grief.

Bit late to the party there, Wicket, but that’s okay—we’ll be more than happy to beat the crap out of you too.

So you just try it dude, and we’ll make sure you end up in a whole world of hurt.

Something Wicket this way flies!

Watch your six, li’l Mag.

I like t6he “straighten” in panel 3.

I love Grandmag straightening her granddaughter’s – I guess we can’t call it a crown yet – tiara.

She shall be the topic of poems and songs…not to mention a certan news story!!

Is that a “paw-bump” of celebration in panel four?

O.T Weird Question

Whoever’s manning (raccooning?) the air-raid siren? WAKE UP!

Owl three to Owl leader, Owl three to Owl leader, target in sight. Commencing my run now.

muffled scream Mag, watch out…

Everyone’s worried about Wicket grabbing Magazine. I’m worried he’s going to land next to her and be sleazy at her – same way he tried it on with Baba Mouse. If you want to conquer the kingdom, wooing the heir is on the table… It would be far more in character than a swoop-and-snatch, and carrying her off doesn’t do anything. Besides, Magazine may not be big, but she’s wearing spiky things and Wicket is not a very in-shape owl.

Oh, the suspense! Monday can’t come soon enough.

Oh dear! Look out Princess!

(Pointing and waving!

OT cat misbehavior

For some reason, I have been worried about Sophie. Is she hiding under the couch or creating art, sort of a mole/raccoon/cat Guernica?

He had better not!!!!!!!!!!!!

When our younger granddaughter was a bit over 2 she loved Curious George cartoons. Whenever George was clearly going to get in trouble she’d say, “Oh noo!” That’s what I say about panel 5.

Oh.

No!

And on further reflection:

What do you mean, “Stay here”?? You just walk off and leave a kid standing on the battlefield?? No, you take the kid with you!!

Oh no! I was wondering where he was!

Off-Topic

OMG that is the most ominous owl ever, gliding in on those silent owl wings. Maybe the residue of the fire extinguisher will make him land off kilter and Violet and Bea will charge in and drive him away. I predict two sleepless nights ahead for me!

Hostile inbound! Lock gumball cannon on target and ready flour bombs!

I have the same thing on top of my TV but it doesn’t do all that well, which is why I have cable.

If I had been confident about the stations too far away I would have paid to have one installed outside. However, then I’d worry about weather causing problems.

Oh NO, where is Beatrix?

We end the week with the moles almost on top of Puck (or on bottom of) and Wicket headed for Mag.
