Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 10, 2024

He’s like Mr. Potter (It’s a Wonderful Life) as a cat. But with no clue about business.

If Snowball put on a red suit, he could almost look like Santa Claus. Well, maybe it’d be better to call him Satan Claus, given how much he wants to crush Christmas.

Snowball probably knows exactly what he’s saying and is deliberately misusing the words, just to annoy Kit.

Not that I know anything about such tactics, having never used them myself.

Nor do I have any insight into the characters’ personalities (I couldn’t even tell you their names), having never watched the Pawmark Channel (I don’t know its name, either), much less these time-wasting soap operas.

Next, you’ll probably expect me to have an opinion on the paternity of the telekinetic kittens (blatantly obvious that it’s Bandit, to everyone except Bandit). Well, I don’t have such an opinion, having never seen that episode nor read any discussion thereupon.

Then again, Snowball is probably dim enough that he thinks he’s making sense.

I gotta sin…Sin is so “me,” Oh,

‘Cause sin is such fun, golly gee. Oh,

And when I begin

There will be no stoppin’

Cause my sin synergy has kicked in, Oh!

Kit, you can’t ague with crazy.

Mr T, I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

If Scrooge were a cat!

Snowball’s heart is colder than his namesake.

While this contrived story drags, like a needless Alexandrine, its slow length along, we in the Grumbling Room once again turn our attention to The Great Questions Of The Ages.

Destroy orphanage < using a bad catchphraceOne is clearly worse

Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you got till it’s gone? And is a tree museum the same thing as an arboretum?

Do Goldie, Elvis, Puck and Lupin shave their whiskers?

He doesn’t seem to understand what, orphan, means…too!

Villain toe beans – Hisssqueee.

Who better to practice synergy than a synner like Snowball.

I’ve never had to park a bulldozer on pavement in my life. To the contrary, They will DESTROY the pavement with one turn.

Yes! Snowball is wearing his new boots!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Spice Plural kiosk on the oPun road

Amon-Merchant: If Snowfall Braggart has a monopoly on the spice routes, we have a major problem. He can charge any price he wants.

Azibo: And Alice and the Royal Procurers won’t be back until next week. Meanwhile Thomios and Floofnet are counting on us to provide their spice-s.

Amon-Merchant: But remember their motto?

Azibo: We’ll never tell?

Amon-Merchant: No.

Azibo: Never take more than you can lift?

Amon-Merchant: No. When problems seem insurmountable, go to the library!

Azibo: Might as well get started. It’s a bit of a walk.

Amon-Merchant: Or maybe we can hitch a ride with those camels.

Azibo: I thought Kara and Vann were at Punn State with the Procurers.

Amon-Merchant: They are. That looks like their friends Humphrey and Lauren.

Azibo: And it looks like they are taking Beatrixia and Ignatius Shipwright somewhere.

Amon-Merchant: Hey guys! Where are you headed?

Beatrixia: We’re going to Afar to meet with Beaver Lee Cleary.

Azibo: Can we hitch a ride? It’s rather urgent.

Bea: If it’s alright with Humphrey and Lauren it’s fine with us.

Humphrey: No problem.

Iggy: What’s the emergency?

Amon-Merchant: We’ll tell you all about it along the way.

Ol’ Taggart sure puts the Sin in Synergy!! … :)

So nobody’s gonna talk about how tacky Mr. T’s outfit is?

I’m surprised Snowball isn’t proposing that the kitties in the orphanage go to work demolishing the orphanage, then work in his online mega mall. Them little ones work cheap ya know.

I have a dim memory of Snowball being happy with his grandkittens . . . 25 Dec, 2016 . . . could that idea play into a heartwarming ending, after Snowball has a “change of heart”?

Sigh

It makes so much, and yet so little sense. I like Snowball’s red boots.

if he really is broke, I’m starting to see how he came to be that way. :P

they’re at the orphanage because they don ’t have a home to go to.

OK, after reading the replies, I see that it’s fruitcake. Not touching that with a ten foot pole. My sister loves what she calls ‘good fruitcake’. Ick. I read a lot of books set in the UK and all they talk about at Christmas is mine pies. Ick.

Excitment grows!!

Snowball, do what our city does when there is work to be done. Park the bulldozers on the street. Better yet, ditch the whole plan, go home and burn a couple more $100 bills.

I sorely miss the original trio of BCN—and I’m sure a hard snap of Elvis’s suspenders can cut through the hardest holiday cake!

Just another Scrooge McCat.

“You keep using that word… I dont think it means what you think it means”

Let’s drop a five megaton tactical Christmas Cake (fruitcake) on Taggart. Then he’ll be a real sweetie-pie.

It would appear that evil toebeans repress the squeee response of the addicts. Perhaps two more weeks of evil toebeans will effect a cure for some of them. Now THAT would be a true Christmas miracle.

Oh my !!! Things look worse and worse for our hero, and all the poor, widdle orphaned kitties. Will someone not save us?

Snowball looks very round in his tiny Santa boots. I do like a nice round kitty. Pretty soon I’ll be rooting for the villain.

Sis: Snowball, how about you look at a dictionary and find the words orphan and orphanage before you make up your mind!

Snowball’s still got those red cowboy boots from the previous Our IX Lives story arc…

My new BCN calendar arrive today. It looks great.

STILL no Sunday (day before yesterday) strip?

Is he evil or is he just thick?

Why, that cheeky old scoundrel! Being on the naughty list would be too good for him.

Do you mean fruitcake?

I see that BCN’s Bluesky account now has over 1,000 followers!

I love Georgia’s snowflakes. Fun to look at!

As Rudy Park would say, “Very bad man.”

Tariffs! MORE tariffs!

Off-Topic Post

He’s pretty bad at Christmas too!

I just read the 21 BCN comics I could not access while in hospital again. Wow!! Now is the Orb okay? Anyone in jeopardy? Did we hear from TampaFanatic?

Ill stick with the Pawmark programming.
