    Re: The Missing. Still no word. I feel so desperately worried. :( All I can do is hope and pray and send you good thoughts to the Universe that nothing bad has happened to our dear friends. @Scaeva, I sent you my email in yesterday’s thread. Please let me know if you need me to resend it to you.

    a little confused about the signature area today. “population 2” and “s12”? presuming 7-13 is the date. does population 2 mean the tidy people? or gutter and sophie?? maybe it will make some sense after i get some sleep. see you in a few hours.

    Are the Warrior Mice peeking in a skylight? They can be seen in the upper right hand corner of panel 3. I’m just not sure if it’s a skylight or a window. If a skylight, did Tidy Man and Woman not have the skylight alarmed? Or did we decide that the alarms would not be operational due to the blackout?

    All: Me!

    Iggy: Here we are. Then we’ll line up and march to the Catfeterira.

    Sometime Later

    Iggy: Let’s go to the Catfeteria! Did everyone wash their paws?

    All: Yes!

    Iggy: Very good. Now let’s go to lunch. They’re having fish sticks and Nommy Nom Spider Treats for dessert.

    All: Yay!

    Kitten Ivory: Can we go outside after lunch?

    Iggy: Yep. But you’ll have to leave your cuddly starfish in doors.

    The mice have lots of experience dodging brooms so the woman won’t be able to shoo them into anything. Natasha needs to use her spiky coat to finish the tear Gutter started in Sophie’s cage.

    Ordinarily a pantry would be the last place you would want a typical raccoon. Gutter, however, is no ordinary raccoon; he is a knight on a mission and will not be distracted from his purpose.

    My anxiety has been really high every day reading this. When Gutter sliced the crate was the first time it started to drop and I thought, "Oh good, maybe a minor chase, a bit of glitter, and they’re out of there. Not this. I’m in a knot again. This has been a tough storyline for me.

    Funny raccoon related story. My Cousin had a raccoon problem at the house she used to live at with her 3 kids. They were a real problem. She had put something on top of the trash cans to stop them getting in. But they turned their focus on the rest of the property causing all kinds of damage etc. She finally decided to call a truce. She left the trash can lids so that the raccoons could help themselves, and in return the raccoons only took trash from the cans. Remarkably making much less of a mess than before. She looked at the entire situation as the raccoons extorting her. LOL As in…… That’s a lovely house you got there…. Shame if something was to happen to it. Bottomline is they found a way to peacefully, somewhat, coexist. And, Raccoons are much more clever than humans.

    The only satisfying resolution to this arc is for these two to be arrested and spend time in jail. I know that’s mean spirited of me, but I really cannot stand this woman, and the man’s indifference is just enabling her. Them being covered in glitter is a decent option B though.

    There’s only one place worse than Barrytown…

    I’m not one to act unkind, but your house will look strange

    If you treat Gutter like a clown, you’ll surely feel our rage.

    You acted like his enemy

    And locked him in a big pantry.

    But he has got some company

    He’s not there by himself;

    You’ll mess with someone else —

    Beware, the Glitter Fairy’s come to you from Glittertown.

    Don’t think that just ‘cause he’s locked in, you have had the last word

    Your pantry might acquire a big, stinking raccoon “curd.”

    And you’re way out of line

    For saying, “This cat’s mine”

    Just ‘cause she looks so fine.

    And you’ll be standing there

    With glitter in your hair.

    From bombs you cannot parry — and you’re off to Glittertown.

    In the beginning we recall the way you grabbed our girl

    And locked her up far away from her very own world.

    Let us go or you’ll look strange to others you may meet

    You’ll be wearing glitter while you’re walking down the street

    And they’ll all scream and laugh and shout

    Every time you walk out

    You’ll look strange without a doubt

    ‘Cause glitter won’t erase

    From all over your place.

    Sparkling like the Good Fairy came to you from Glittertown.

    I had a random thought about Sophie last night. Remember back when Buzzy Mouse was stolen from Puck? Remember the point he got to where he just LOST it? Everyone has their breaking point, and I just wondered if we were going to see Sophie’s. She’s so touched that she has so many folks caring about her – and now those folks (!) are being threatened. Yesterday and today we’ve seen her absolutely horrified! I’m interested to see how she reacts.

    We’ve got glitter! So much glitter! It’s so sparkly and shiny and bright,

    And we pity Tidy People and their house tonight

    They’re not charming, so we’re arming, it’s alarming the glitter they’ll feel,

    So much glitter, that we hardly can believe it’s real!

    See that pretty cat in that cage down there?

    Who can that attractive cat be?

    Such a pretty face, such a pretty dress, such a pretty smile,

    that’s the one we’ll rescue, Sophie!

    We’ll be cunning, they’ll go running,

    As we’re gunning our glitter to hurl

    For it’s time to help rescue our Sophie girl!

    Have you seen that pristine white carpet

    The tidiest one on the block?

    They’ll hate it the minute we bomb it

    And soon they’ll be in an advanced state of shock

    They think they’re so clean

    We think they’re so vain

    Soon they won’t be clean, they’ll be merely insane!__________________________We’ve got glitter, so much glitter, that the craft store should give us its key,

    Our committee has been organized to get her free

    We are ready, and so steady, and our plans are so funny and fine

    And the Tidy People’s housekeeper will just resign!

    See that pretty cat in that cage down there? (What cage down where?)

    Who can that attractive cat be? (Which? What? Where? Whom?)

    Such a pretty face, such a pretty dress, such a pretty smile,

    Now it’s time to rescue Sophie!

    With our glitter, so much glitter,

    We will bomb them and upend their world,

    For it’s time to bring home our Sophie girl!

    So I’m predicting a few more days of chaos before animal control shows up, and then the animal control will be Sophie’s Woman. Happy ending? Well, eventually sure, but at this point I’m concerned clueless woman try refusing to give Sophie up. When this began she struck me as well intended but not knowledgeable. As the story went on and we saw more of her personality though, she now strikes me as the willfully ignorant type. The “I know better than everyone even the professionals” kind.

    Georgia, there’s a typo in panel four. The spelling is “y’all”, not “ya’ll” – the apostrophe goes where the missing letters are, as usual, and the contraction is short for “you all”.

    So they do have the number for animal control, which should be the first call after picking up a supposed stray—or visit the website, where pictures of lost pets frequently occur. Thus, the case for theft of valuable property could be made. Where I reside, any pet animal is considered “livestock,” and the theft of same a major felony. I’ll bet a good prosecutor could also make a case for illegal trapping of a wild animal, a misdemeanor. Of course, the prosecutor would drop the lesser charge for a plea of guilty to the felony. Then they can go and be neat and tidy in the slammer. In the immortal words of a certain famous duck, “They’re dethpicable!” (And a salute to Mel Blanc!)
