First of all, I trust Pengo. He has been a faithful companion for years. Second, Ora Zella’s magnifying glass (borrowed from a raccoon?) is a hoot, topped only by her bubble-blowing plastic pipe!
Apparently, the boy can understand cat talk. The gir appeared to able to see Tillie the ghost in the halloween story. I wonder if one day they’ll be too old and can’t do those things anymore.
Glad to see the magnifying glass and the meerschaum pipe have shown up. That BCN magic closet is very thorough and even knows when to be age appropriate!
The Boy Just Answered The Cat’s Question!!! Can The Boy Understand The Cats? THis Would Change Everything… OMC (I am being very dramatic now). We ‘ALL’ Need To Talk About This!!!
I sorta want to have a look at the ceiling to see if it’s been duct taped to it. If so, then there’s only one cat who could’ve done it. Well, maybe two, but Ora Zella’s too young to have caffeine!
Good strategy, Goldie. You investigate and keep Ora Zella, Junior Detective busy with all the Detective Accessories! Next up: a measuring tape, molding clay to take footprints, and (invisible) fingerprint powder!
In panel one, are OZ’s arms crossed in front of her chest, or did Aunt Goldie put her in a straight jacket? LOL Looks like she sprung free for panels 2, 3, 4 though!
Ora Zella: “Well, someone’s got to break the ice, and it might as well be me. I mean, I’m used to being a host, it’s part of my work. And it’s always difficult when a group of new friends meet together for the first time, to get acquainted. So I’m perfectly prepared to start the ball rolling. I mean, I-I have absolutely no idea what we’re doing here. Or what I’m doing here, or what this place is about, but I am determined to enjoy myself. And I’m very intrigued, and, oh my, this soup’s delicious, isn’t it?”
It’s not impossible that the remote could be on a high shelf or atop a tall piece of furniture. Sometimes I put things up in a high place where they will be, I hope, out of reach of cats. And then I forget I put the things in an unusual place.
We had some fall like weather this past weekend which inspired me to order a BCN sweatshirt from Threadless. It arrived today, but summer is back so it might be a while before I get a chance to wear it. There are 80s for every day in the 10 day forecast I checked. At least even though some of the days are forecasted to get near 90 all the nights are showing upper 50s to lower 60s for the lows so still good sleeping weather.
i thought that OZ didn’t trust the Boy because Goldie is asking for corroboration for his story. Pengo looks like he wants some time with the pipe/bubbles.
My computer stopped cold and declared “This site is comprised.” Not computer savvy, I looked it up and this is probably why the strip was late…,“Compromised sites (or servers) are otherwise legitimate sites that are being used by hackers without the owner’s knowledge.

Ora Zella is just simply Bubblicious in her sleuthing outfit. And I think she’s right about Pengo. He looks awfully suspicious!

Yeah, Ora Zella, Pengo was cheating off Puck’s quiz in pretend school last week! Cross-examine him!

Georgia references ‘RCO’ on the Patreon site. I don’t know what that means, any help?

Children can understand cats. As they get older, they lose that ability and forget what they could do.

Actually, Goldie should be a prime suspect. She’s the only one other than the Robber Mice who has stolen something.

Well, at least Ora Zella is having fun with the detective get-up. If only Pengo could act as the Boy’s character witness.

Hooray, a new strip has finally updated! It would’ve been awful if this mystery ended on a cliffhanger.

Stuffed penguins are not reliable witnesses. There’s been extensive research in this area.

Well, if Ora Zella has a bubble pipe, she must carry the weight of authority with her.

I don’t trust him, either. Something smells fishy… it could be the penguin’s breath.
