Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 06, 2023

OH MY CAT! Not The Difficult Animal Man! Wicket was better off when Baba Mouse was “protecting” him from Queen Mag! Dr Scuttles has just the right medicine for him, I hope.

Is Scuttles a snapper? (I hope)

I’m glad Dr Scuttles is smart enough not to believe Wicket’s nonsense. That turtle on the warpath for the meadow would be scary!

NOOOOOOO! This is so much better than he deserves! Pureed baby food in solitary confinement would be a more fitting punishment for the dastardly devil!!

In panel 2: hello sources!

Rumors of a new podcast?? Oh, yes, please, Georgia (in your so copious spare time, lol!)

Yeah, this is much too good for him.

Since Dr. Scuttles is an ‘Expert’, in Cryptozoology, I bet Wicket can convince him that he is really a rather small, Griffin!

I was not expecting that! OMC, so funny, so perfect.

The Wicked One, though, looks very comfy and cozy. I am trying to be kind and forgiving and say that’s good and maybe he will reform and be happy and content, but he’s had chances before, and look what he did with them. Oh, well, vengeance is not mine to give or even consider.

I can’t even imagine what those two could concoct.

Awwww. This is oddly sweet. Especially if you know these two were already friends via Dr scuttled twitter

Oh nononononononononoNONONONONO

Ooo, those are Dr. Scuttles’ potato chips in that bowl. I wonder what flavor?

I love the mice hamming it up for the camera.

Since when does the Arch Villian get to live a cosy life in the “after” ? Especially in the company of another of his ilk? Not Fair!

OT: Mystic update. All is going well so far, the occasional hiss and chase but nothing harmful. He has a clipped ear but our no kill shelter here was caught releasing all TNR’s wether adoptable or not. We think he might have been one those. He was definitely not feral, just a frightened adolescent cat. He is a happy boy and very affectionate, just needing some TLC which he was getting as a yard cat. We treated him with Revolution+ for two months before bringing him in our garage last week for the cold snap, his bedding had no sign of tape worms, no cough, sneezing, weepy eyes, or runny nose so in he came. So far so good.

As far as Wicket is concerned, any fate short of taxidermy is a great disappointment.

Can someone fill me in on the history between Dr. Scuttles and Wicket? Are the two of them two-peas-in-a-pod? or are they chalk-and-cheese?

OMC, yes to a Mr. Scuttles podcast!♥

I hope he’s chained to that perch. For, uh, his own safety.

The amazing Dr scuttles is back!!!

I always wondered if Georgia regretted writing Dr. Scuttles out. For those not familiar, his brief story begins on 2022/01/25.

OMC! Wicked Wicket is decidedly difficult.

Love Dr Scuttles’ little glasses :)

1/29/2022, great description of Dr Scuttles….a prehistoric Orson Wells! Chortle!

IT’S DR. SCUTTLES!!!!!

Dr. Scuttles!!! Huzzah!

One million times I love this idea!!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Serfig-Aro: The Harsh Browns and the Mash Spuds are tied at 21 all. The Browns have the potato fourth and eight at what will probably be the final play of the game. Quarterback Gizmo is back for a pass. Digby catches the potato and tunnels towards the goal. He is stopped by the Spud’s Snickers at the 10 yard line.

The Browns line up. Gizmo fakes a pass and digs his way to the end zone. Touchdown Gizmo! The Harsh Browns are the Lawn Potato Champions!

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: What an exciting game!

King Montgomery Mole: It certainly was. Now we will go to present the Potato Trophy to the winner.

On the Field

Queen Lisa Mole: On behalf of His Majesty King Montgomery and myself, it gives me great pleasure to present the Potato Trophy to this year’s champions, the Harsh Browns. And let us not forget the valiant effort of the Mash Spuds.

The Crowd Cheers

King Monty: And now I understand Thomios has opened up the concessions for everyone. Enjoy your chips everyone!

At the Royal Kitchen

Thomios: It was great we had so many extra potatoes on paw. Thank you for slicing them so thin.

Ora Z: It was my pleasure.

Natasha has her needle coat back. Hurrah!

Hey Wicket, even though we don’t hate ya, we sure don’t love ya (hate what you do)

And even though we can forgive ya, we really want to (it’s so true)

Tell me, tell me, Wicket, why can’t you leave it?

‘Cause even though you shouldn’t want stuff, you gotta have it (it’s not for you)

Head in the clouds

You kept gettin’ bolder

Moles are now wiser, and realize that they’ve got

One less problem without ya

Mag’s got one less problem without ya

Mice got one less problem without ya (all got one less, one less problem)

Problem, problem, problem (they got one less, one less problem)

Let’s go

They think you’re never gonna wake up

So they gave up (shame on you)

They hope you won’t ever come back, they’ll never let you come back (you winged poop)

Every time you told Monty how great it would be, he got rude and reckless

He shouldn’t want it (nor listen to you)

Foamed into the clouds

Bumped his head on a boulder

He became wiser, and realized that he’s got

One less problem without ya

He’s got one less problem without ya

They got one less problem without ya (one less, one less problem)

Problem, problem, problem (there’s one less, one less problem)

Mm-mm na-na-na (one less, one less problem)Mm-mm, yeah (one less, one less problem)

There’s a million reasons that Wicket’s a bum

They got 99 problems but that owl won’t be one

Like what

Dr. Scuttles!!!!

I’d listen to that podcast. In fact they should get voice actors to make an official BCN podcast where they just talk about cat things.

I’m still a little fuzzy on how to access the podcasts or tweets or X’s or whatever it is of Dr. Scuttles. Can anyone enlighten me on that?

I’m a little sad that everyone else has had a time change. Now I have to wait until 11 pm my time to see the new comic and I’m not usually able to do that (well, sometimes) so I have to wait until morning. So glad this didn’t happen during cliffhanger week!

If we are lucky Georgia will learn to draw alligators better and we will never see Wicket again.

Is that a crocodile skink?

ROFL @ “particularly difficult animals”! If anyone can handle Wicket, it’s That Man…hope we get to meet him soon; since Georgia has said she’s probably writing The Man out of the strip, we’re in need of a new DANG!-worthy dude…

Dr. Scuttles’ podcasts are the best! He should definitely do more of them.

I like Dr Scuttles and glad to see him back. However – this is the first strip that actually got me aggravated. Someone got off way too easily.

Two apex predators in the same room, what could go wrong? Fortunately they are apicies for different food chains.

Wicket is being too pampered, considering all the trouble he caused.

I hope that isn’t a call button on Wicket’s nicely padded perch?! He would drive the staff crazy!

I am happy the old owl is well!

Even though he’s done bad things, he is not a bad owl. Just misinformed on the ways of polite society. I think he is handsome. Swoon, except when he is picking fights.

So Georgia said there was one more strip, tomorrow’s, before we go back to regular cat news. I wonder what it will be? Maybe more previous record footage of Wicket and Dr. Scuttles, or maybe Bea and Princess Mad Mag exchanging friendship bracelets to commemorate their new friendship or maybe all the cats chasing gumballs around the basement. :)

So I guess Wicket is at once the ruthless antagonist and the old guy who occasionally escapes from the old folks home and gets up to shenanigans XD

Nice to see Dr. Scuttles making an appearance, even though he doesn’t affiliate with BC News.

My!! A Wicket owl and Doctor Scuttles! This certainly has potential.

Dr Scuttles moved out of the Big Pink House in January 2022. >

I can’t wait to see the conspiracy theories they come up with together!

Coming soon, Battle of the Beaks!

This makes me very happy. Owls gotta owl, you know?

Site? Viewers?

O.T. Bob update

Please keep the prayers and good vibes going out for Bob the Writing Cat. His kidneys are okay, although he has had kidney disease for a while, and blood work doesn’t show any major red flags. He does have a raging UTI and has started antibiotics, however, that’s not the full picture and Bob has been referred to an internist for a full abdominal ultrasound on Thursday. As he himself says, this could turn out to be nothing serious or something really bad. In the meantime, he still won’t eat on his own so is still being syringe fed. Let’s send Bob some PoTP!

does anyone remember the name of the girl’s stuffed fox?

OT: Lily Update
