Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 18, 2025

Random crunchy sound? Random is the perfect word to describe how, or when, printers work.

VERY temporarily, I suspect. Tomorrow the rules will be different!

Random crunchy sound? That can’t be good.

Maybe it’s “normal?”

Is the printer dying or constipated?

While we might think that “random crunchy sounds” and “whirring hisssss…” are coming from the printer, those sounds could just as easily be coming from cats.

The antenna to my radio has to be held up to work, too. So it has been stuck to the wall with poster putty for over a decade. I am sure the Woman will figure something out.

Printers don’t have antennas. Time to give in and use a printer cable.

Burt’s commentary is very accurate.

The printer does not like my computer. It feels superior and decides when it doesn’t want to print. That is usually when it is late at night, numerous copies need to be run off, and a very early get up to head out for a meeting.

My current printer is pretty reliable but every now and then when I go to turn it off it goes into this weird clicking, worring cycle and eventually shuts down.

Printer looks like it’s passing a stone …

Countdown, hm? One of those small hourglasses would be apt. The eggtimer ones lasts about 3 minutes.

Puck to e beans!!!! SQUEEEEEEeeeeeeeee… [runs out of breath and faints].

‘Whirling Hissssss…" What’s Elvis up to now?

I’m loving the little moment of Zen sense in panel two.

Woman, try some aluminium foil on the wires. My daddy swore by them. ;)

Printer, prints instructions: Ok,hold cord at 90 degree angle, put your left foot in, No! Take your left foot out! Now shake it all about… Do the hokie pokie and turn yourself around…MOO HA HA HA HA HA! I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU FOLLOWED MY INSTRUCTIONS!! HA HA HA HAH! STILL NOT GONNA WORK!

It’s not a printer! It’s a cat toy maker. Just think of all the balls of paper that will come from the crumpled and torn pieces of paper that accursed printer spits out.

OT, other modern tech issue

My cat loves the printer! Runs to watch when the cruchy sounds start.

I would hire this tech crew!!

Having Lupin say the line in panel two is very poignant. In panel three it looks like the printer is sticking out its tongue, which certainly seems fitting.
