Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 05, 2025

Lupin covers all the bases. Smart cat.

Which is worse? Sued or haunted?

The mysterious case of the haunted head-chopper! A nursery rhyme by Lupin.

Burt has a point. You can’t be too careful.

Axe murderer. I hate people who murder axes. Oh wait. Is that murder exes? I get confused.

When “Bewitched” was popular I had a big crush on Elizabeth Montgomery, so I wouldn’t mind if that Lizzie Borden haunted our house. ;-)

I can’t decide which Lizzie Borden I prefer, Elizabeth Montgomery or Christina Ricci.

The first local murder mystery I remember involved a woman named Edythe. I was about 9 or 10 years old, and didn’t remember much about it other than her first name and the fact she was found guilty of murder and sentenced to be executed in “Old Sparky,” the electric chair. I couldn’t remember if the execution actually took place, and this talk of Lizzie Borden inspired me to see if I could find any more details. Even though I misspelled her first name, the google came through. Thanks, Georgia for inspiring me to finally find the facts behind something that haunted my childhood! (A search for Edythe Klumpp and the "Case of the Century will lead to an article in the University of Cincinnati Archives with more details if anybody else is interested.

Not the healthiest hobby …

OMC! Look at Lupin’s toe beans in panel 2!!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEღƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♡ƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♪!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lupin is correct. (nervously looks over shoulder for ghosts and/or lawyers)

Ugh. More Lizzie. I’m starting to miss Robin’s ambiguous weather reports, plus the red papayas.

It is scary when killers look nonthreatening and have childish innocent faces like Austin Mohn.

And there are such things as ghosts, right Tillie?

Speaking of ghosts, after my dad passed, we tore the 20 × 20 house down that he’d built and I grew up in, down, and built a new house on the property. He bought that property (about an acre and a half) in 1937 and it meant more to him than almost anything else in the world. Right after we moved in, when it was quiet in the house, I used to hear someone walking around upstairs when no one was up there. I’m pretty sure it was him. We’ve since moved out of proximity to be closer to husband’s job move (same company, different building) and I often wonder if the new people hear him too…

It’s a principal of libel law that you can’t libel the dead (legally speaking).

By the way? Adolf Hitler was a real stinker.

As I recall, Lizzie Borden was acquitted, although much of the public thought she was guilty.

Actually, she WAS innocent. Do the research.

Well, Lizzie was acquitted so…
