Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 18, 2024

Mmmmmm…boot soup! As served in the very best Ankh-Morpork restaurants at Hogswatch!

I’ll have the Special. Cause everything’s special when "Bustling Chefs are in the Kitchen.”

Be careful an make sure the Kitchen’s up to code!

Complete with a waiter who is also a hero.

I love the waitstaff. Polite and neat.

Goldie and Elvis at the table is just too cute!

Tortimer is not just a Good Boy, he’s heroic. And talented.

What child hasn’t played “restaurant”?

When I was growing up, if the soup tasted icky, it was said to taste like an old boot.

Aha. A classic case of steenky robots taking away hoomin jobs. The end is near!

Can I hire the chefs? We have a 300 service tonight, and 2000 on friday. I need dedicated staff tor prep and plate this week.

Hottest spot in town? I’d better go ahead and call for my reservation.

It may even be the new “hottest spot north of Havana.”

Awww, tuna on the menu I hope! Everycat having fun!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile presents to you the Encore Bee Musical Xanadu

Titania: Now to select a group of workers who are hard-working, savvy, and can share a vision. Time to post a scroll.

ELO: All Over the World

Every worker bee in the known word

Gonna tell you what I’ve just heard

There’s gonna be a new hive starting by the Great Pyramid!

…….

An old legend is becoming new,

Once again we’ll have Xanadu,

From here to Afar we’ll make honey that’s out of this world!

…….

All out of this world!

Send out the word

We are looking for the best workers in the world

Right now!

…….

Titania: Here’s hoping for the best of the best.

Sometime Later, several bees enter

Worker Bee: I just saw your scroll at WB University. We’ve come to apply.

Titania: Good. Tell me about yourselves.

Worker Bee: My sisters and I are the best!

I will only make a reservation if the Gagh is fresh.

Look how nice Elvis and Goldie look at their table.

Stopped by Mr. Bean’s Deli and got coffee and bagels for all.

I thought my steak tasted tough as shoe leather …

Excuse me! Was this boot army, or urban raised?

I like Elvis and Goldie sitting in the background with their menus, and Tortimer as a waiter is too cute.

I will be the first to say it.

MONDAY FUNDAY

The Roomba fits his waiter job to a tea…

Is this a rerun? I don’t recall it (which isn’t too unusual). I thought we were going to have 3 weeks of reruns. Original date anyone?

And a good time is being had by all.

Love the wait staff!

This is actually so adorable omg.

When he was about that age, our son said he was going to open “Jason’s Egg Restaurant. With a play place for the kids and massage chairs for the grownups.” He’s now in the culinary program at community college.

I had a cardboard kitchen, and my brother and I played with it equally. He’s more of a cook than I am.

Love how Goldie and Elvis are sitting together in a civilized manner.

I just noticed Georgia Dunn’s extra Shelter Cat tab and read it. (I wonder how long that’s been there that I didn’t notice? I wonder if she would object to me sharing that on my Face Book page?

Georgia’s post from yesterday “I’m SO excited to announce this—this week I will be one of the guest artists for The Jumble’s Guest Jumbler week! You can find The Jumble here daily: , or in newspapers across the country! To quote my Mom when I told her, “NOW you’ve made it!” I’m delighted to be in this week with my friends and fellow cartoonists Dee Fish and Todd Clark! You’ll see Dee’s strip on Monday, mine on Friday’s, Todd’s on Saturday, and many other terrific cartoonists’ the whole week long too! Thank you Jeff Knurek for reaching out and asking if I’d be a guest jumbler, I’m honored!”

I’d expect an Easy-Bake Oven to play a part in the restaurant!!!

They must’ve been watching “The Gold Rush”!

So they didn’t go with the strips after last week’s reruns. If you are dying to know who framed Kit, the strips starting on November 15, 2021 have the answer.

My sister had a metal stove, with a copper top and copper nail. It plugged in and got hot enough to melt crayons in the metal caps for spray paint. Mom found out and cut the cord off. Dad was not amused that none of his spray paint cans had lids anymore. And once the crayon rehardened in the cap, it couldn’t be used. We couldn’t get them out.

Don’t Roombas ever clean carpets anymore? Are there so many cats with so much fur all over the place, that the Roomba has just given up and changed professions to be a member of the wait staff?

Many of you may not know this, but there was a Charlie Chaplin Little Tramp movie a hundred years ago called Gold Rush. In it, he cooks and eats a shoe.

The third panel reminds me of Charlie Chaplin’s “The Gold Rush.”

OT

…That’s a boot.

They’re cooking a boot. O.o

When our granddaughters played restaurant they’d take our orders and the food never came. They’d do stuff with the play food but every time we asked them if ours was ready the older one would say, Not yet."

OT: Ding Dong the hideous mirror is gone!

OT: Erma

Today was the memorial service for my brother’s Mom in Law, Erma. Thank you orb friends for your thoughts and prayers. I know Erma is in a better place now, after 98 years her on Earth (I had gotten that wrong, I thought she was only 96).

It was good to see family who live far away, including my nephew from Japan. His son “John” is thriving and getting into everything now at 7 months.

Any guesses about the upside-down bottle in the Girl’s hand?
