Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 18, 2024

Now we see their nefarious plot begin to unravel. Curse their evil ways!

Smuggled catnip. So THAT’S what was in the Kibble bag That Guy Brad and Dr. Mittens were carrying.

The goons are smarter than their boss.

Oh, dear. Tell the woman (or queen, in this case) to stay out of complicated stuff like business because she couldn’t possibly understand it, just because she’s female. See what happens!

This is based on real life, of course. I have no idea if this bit of wisdom applies to any mindless soap operas being shown in the other room. (I am always glad that I am not Snowball Taggert, but I am especially so today.)

Bandit, do us all a favor and team with Paisley to catch the bad cats.

Imaginary real estate! Could the plot get any more nefarious?

…I don’t usually resort to Ora Zella techniques, but I think it’s probably time to set a mustache or two on fire.

and a terrible combover while we’re at it.

“‘Big Business Stuff’ being the technical term too complicated for your pretty little head to ponder.”

Of course, Angora has a successful design business, bringing joy and beauty to the world, and you, Snowball, are a crook.

O.T. typing on my laptop

Catnip, hm? I’m picturing stoner kitties wearing Grateful Bed t-shirts, and lobbying to legalize ’nip.

The evil is coalescing, and so close to the holidays.

Panel 3: DSoMSCC!!! Dark Silhouette of Mean Scheming Crooked Cats! (okay, I know that’s a BIT out there, but…)

OT That is Priceless

If “That Guy Brad” and Mittens decide

To get poor old Kit Chase sent inside

Of that old County Jail

They’re most likely to fail,

Cause their catnip won’t be bona fide.

Though Schrodinger’s Cat Mall’s built wide,

No one knows what is really inside.

(…Sometimes it’s Taggart’s loot

Or his stinky old boot..

…The stuff Paisley’s kits take for a ride.)

If catnip is stashed in the mall

It ain’t gonna be there at all.

Paisley’s brood will move it

All around quite a bit,

Through that imaginary wall.

[bro] omigod how early do these things even UPLOAD!?

To be fair to Snowball, online stores do need fulfillment centers, but I’m fairly sure that’s not what he’s referring to with his “Online Mall”.♥

Good toebeans and evil toebeans. I don’t know how to react! I can’t tell until I get on my tablet, but it is possible that I see evil toebeans on Dr. Mittens as well as on Snowball Taggert.

How can you smuggle catnip? That stuff smells.

Goodness! The flunkies are running the show!

Off-topic : not a prayer request, just a silly post.

OT Orbsters in the US Pacific Northwest

Oh, Snowball, telling Angora to stick with shoulder pads and tiny hats. She may have an idea about the stick part!

Well ya gotta stores all them goods sold online somewhere ya knows.

O.T. Yesterday…

Too bad, the comments section of GoComics is no longer active enough.

I’m imagining the “fast paced” imaginary is imagined

I just can’t understand how stupid/evil Snowball is!

The plot thickens!

Used to avoid driving thru a nearby mall on the way home during the Christmas season due to heavy congestion. Now it is mostly deserted and sad to see.

The generation that used to go out for shopping is disappearing. The new generation does not know how much fun it was to go downtown and see the Christmas Windows at the big department stores.

Alas the grumble room has ceased, have they been drawn in? Sigh not I

Ah, so that’s their angle! Hopefully Bandit will be on the case.

The plot thickens

(Panel 2) – I believe Ol’ Snowball has maximized the “I’m looking down my nose at you” look.

and at his own daughter. for shame!

I am commenting this on both Big Nate and Breaking Cat News.

I am tired of the kids at my school. They’re always so mature. And I don’t mean mature as in mature topics like Bluey, I mean mature as in South Park. They swear a lot, make “references,” and they do it during breakfast/lunch or when there are no teachers around. I am very tired of this behavior and am telling it to you, because I love you all. Because of this, I am quitting Gocomics. I will probably comment a few times, but I might stop. I may come back, but for now, goodbye.

With love, Radkins27, Teardrop, Animatic, Dreartop, Ⓙⓐⓧ, and my true identity, River Adkins.

Coldplay: Viva La Vida

I wanna rule the world

Bulldoze and build my empire

And every morning observe what I own

Woe to those who would dare to oppose!

…….

And when I roll the dice

It would never come up snake eyes

Listen as the crowds all sing

Snowball Taggart is the one who is gonna be king!

…….

This minute I hold the key

But I feel opposition will be

Strong and determined and I do believe

There is going to be heck to pay

And I’m not going to have my way!

…….

I feel Angora and Kit opposing

Bandit and Paisley have chosen

To be on the side of right and good

And things will turn out just as they should

And for some reason that I can’t explain

I know that Cat won’t call my name!

And I feel that they will have won

When the story is said and Dunn!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Royal Kitchen

Thomios: Thank you for all your help, my friends.

Rusty Owl: It was our pleasure. We enjoy the opportunity to help with the spice transportation.

Sue Chef: We have prepared a dish of Tasty Tilapia and other delicacies for our owl friends.

Rusty: It’s not part of our usual cuisine, but do you have cheese available?

Thomios: We are pleased to prepare a charcuterie tray for you.

Speckle Owl: We have heard rumors about the availability of cheese.

Sue Chef: Oh?

Speckle: Since the moles and we have been able to get around Snowfall Braggart’s spice monopoly, he is going to try to corner the cheese market.

Thomios: Thank you for the heads up. We will plan accordingly.

The CEA, Catnip Enforcement Agency, receiving an anonymous tip of the nefarious happenings in Viejo Gato, has dispatched Detectives James Crochet and Ricardo Tabby to bust the catnip smuggling gang. Wearing their coolest sunglasses and jackets with sleeves rolled up, Crochet and Tabby quietly begin to investigate the smuggling ring, learning that it involves some rather foolishly innocent individuals who are totally clueless as to how business is conducted these days. Every good plot needs a village idiot.

While the dashing Crochet devises a plan to become acquainted with Angora, unknowingly becoming a conflicting love interest pitted against Kit so as to get close to Father, Tabby applies for a job with Father as destruction/construction foreman, so as to infiltrate the smuggling ring. In the pursuit of good over evil, the two detectives must go deep undercover to accomplish their mission.

Angora, being a city girl with high ambitions, is both impressed and curious when she spots Crochet in a flashy black Ferrari 365 convertible. but then being a cat she is intrigued by shiny things. As she dwells on how to handle the crisis at hand, she also thinks of how she can meet this mysterious and handsome stranger in the flashy car.

Will Angora figure out a way to meet Crochet?

Will Father come to the realization that he is a fool who is being used before it is too late?

Will Tabby infiltrate the catnip smuggling ring or will he be caught and put into danger?

Will Kit win Angora’s heart?

To learn the answer to these and other ridiculous questions, tune in tomorrow, same time, same channel.

I wonder if imaginary real estate would satisfy Lucy Van Pelt?

Love Angora’s expression in panel 3! She’s no longer naive about ST’s schemes.

Okay, now I’m thinking Snowball’s genuinely lost it, and am back to understanding how he might have actually rendered himself broke if this is how he thinks “big business” works.

Swat him silly, Angora!

He kinda deserves to be framed.

Sis: Angora you should just pummel him right now even though he is your father, and do it to Brad and Mittens as well

Warm blueberry muffins and hot chocolate.

Shoulder pads and tiny hats? Is this an ’80’s-90’s reference?

Okay, Nerdster here. Cwen is an Old English word for queen. This was also the name of the honorary organization at my college of upperclass women who helped with orienting freshmen women. They had cute red blazers with a crown embroidered on one of the pockets. Freshmen men only had fraternities.

I’ve noticed That Guy Brad and Dr. Mittens eavesdropping on them in panel three. Sneaky vultures.

OT:My quilt rack is up!

Internet stores need buildings, offices and warehouses.

Excuse me, Mr. Taggert, but wasn’t it you who called Angora in the first place?

O.T.Asking the Orb for some positive energy, my little Sally Cat had a seizure today, she’s at the emergency vet rn

If I had realized the Grumbling Room would be open, I’d have been here to keep Robin company sooner.

OT My elf season ended early …
