Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 10, 2024

And together they are one!

Finally Sophie has something to smile about.

“Oh, I just popped by… What do you think I’m doing here?”

Gutter’s shocked realization that she knows enough about him to know his title and Sophie’s big smile . . . That last panel is just so . . .

(so many words fit here!)

OK you two, time to get it in gear and get out of there. If you do that, then there will be time enough to compare notes later.

If Gutter wasn’t smitten before, he’s smitten now.

Love that Puck getting Gutter’s title wrong earlier sets up Sophie getting it right here. Respect!

Gutter looks so sweet yesterday and today.She knows his name and title. How could she have fallen for that ferret?

It’s so good to see her smile! Hang in there, love, help is at hand. Glitter is next.

The eyes have it…

Awwww. She knows of him. Also the eye comment is adorable…and I never realized he only had one eye

And she’s still holding Starfish Squeaker!

I love her smile! She looks so happy.

I love Gutter’s look of astonishment in panel 4 … and his nervous handwashing gesture.

First two panels are “warm”. :-)

Her knight in some what shining armor

We were here when they first met! Now scoot you two, you have literally no time to waste on pleasantries.

OT: Beryl

Hubby found this one particularly endearing because he only has one good eye. Without glasses/contacts, my eyesight is worse than his one good eye, so . . . much in the same way, together we have two good eyes. ( ๑ ❛ ڡ ❛ ๑ )❤

Saving you, Sophie, that is what he is doing here, he is saving you! :-D

Good old Gutter is here to rescue you and take you home! And is this the beginning of a love story?

“But together, we have two” SQUEE! My heart just jumped! xoxo

(This old lady is getting emotional now….)

Awwwww! It’s like watching two high schoolers, where the guy finds out that his crush knows everything about him, when he thought she must not know I exist!

P.S I like how the star toy seems to be following the conversation!

Georgia is such a wonderful storyteller and her ability to draw such a range of expressions with so few lines is extraordinary. Since we know that ultimately all will be well, I am enjoying the slower pace and all the detail and character development.

What he doing here? Well he just here to ransacks their kitchen and steals all their foods. That’s all. After that he will tells ya bye byes and goes away leaving you there to sufferes forever. “What he doing here”. Geez what a maroon.

Uh, folks. Talk less, escape more.

I am liking the facial expressions in panels two and three. They seem to be connecting.

Gene Pitney: Performed by Petula Clark and Others: True Love Never Runs Smooth

Though we each have just one eye together we have two

Whatever may befall we both will see it through

For a true love never runs smooth, but that’s alright

True love means together we stand, and join the fight!

…….

When the world outside our own has plans that interfere

Together we’ll be strong, and never will we fear

Because a true love never runs smooth, as we all know

True love is worth all the conflict and pain and tears

The world may throw!

Awww, Sofie looks delighted in panel 4.

I didn’t realize Sophie only had sight in one eye or I forgot. In any case she can’t be a show cat, can she? They’ll make a good couple anyway.

“This could be the start of a beautiful [more than] friendship.”

That is just too sweet! Now please get Sophie out of there before those two terrible tidy people return.

This is puts only one song in my mind for today. The call and the answer, by the Dubliners. Just search for the song and you will find results to play it. It is the perfect love song. It will destroy your screens though. LOL

I understand the sense of urgency for Gutter and Sophie to get out asap, but it’s better if Sophie understands the situation first. It’ll only take a minute, but getting her trust will make it so much easier to follow Gutter’s lead for the rest of the rescue!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At Barbara’s Shop

Beatrixia: Ah, a bit of grooming does the trick. Oh, hi, Lupinium. Getting your pink treatment?

Lupinium: Yep. It’s Vacation Scroll School time, and it’s time to do Pink Lupinium.

Barbara: Trevor-Hotep sent over a supply of his new Saucy Sauce tomatoes. They make a great fur coloring as well as pasta sauce.

Bea: Ooh…I can’t wait to see how Thomios makes new innovative sauces.

Barbara: And now you’re just in time for Thomios’ Chowder for a Clowder.

At the Royal Dining Room

Iggy: I enjoyed researching the future. I wonder if there are any scrolls about my descendant.

Sophititi: I’m sure there are. I understand Beaver Lee Cleary will be paying us a visit soon.

Bea: And I know Jules will have some information when he comes back from his Julying trip.

Soph: Hopefully he won’t be like the Procurers.

Violet-Ifa: Maybe he won’t tell, but he may have some hints.

OT: Late-Breaking Broken H00min News Update! (reposted from yesterday afternoon)

A smile on the captive’s face. That is good!

OMC! Are they a Mutual-Appreciation Society? This looks very good for Gutter!

“You know my title.” Gutter’s attitude, expression, body language – all of it – he has to process this delightful tidbit for a moment. (My face can’t smile any bigger!)

Quick, Gutter, get her out of there before the tidy woman (or man) comes back! And then, cry havoc and let loose the mice of chaos!

OH

MY

We’re busting you out, madam!

Ha! Always hits!

It’s nice to be noticed…

Haha! Always funny!

Dang, Gutter has such a way with words. They are easily made for one another.

Ha! Hit the spot!

“together we have two” oh sweet Gutter ♥

Oh my heart. I am so. dang. invested. in this emotional arc!

It takes two baby.

It takes two.

Just me and you.

“I’m Gutter. I’m here to rescue you!”

Gutter, keep in mind the Person in the dark said they’d be back with food very soon!

This is just perfect.

Somehow I’d forgotten Sophie’s eyes. I think they’re beautiful but I’m not sure they meet show cat standards. I’ll bet she is a great sleeper.

“I’m Luke Skywalker! I’m here to rescue you!”

OT Medical, Part 2

RESCUE!!!

I’m so ready

Oh, I didn’t know Sophie had one blind eye.

Appraising the escape situation.

“you know my title”….whoa, that has a lot in it

♥ Finally!

I’m in Southeast Texas, only lost power for 3 days after Beryl but was in the unlucky 4 % that finally got internet back today. I’m only ten days behind on all my comics. BCN is the storyline I was missing the most. No house damage, but lost a back fence and tree limbs but it could be worse.
