Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 09, 2019

Blank picture (((

What’s this, no comic today?

I’m glad it’s not just me. I finally had to go to Arcamax to view today’s BCN.

I even got a blank email! Will try again later in the day. Meanwhile, purrs and boops for all who need them…

Has Lupin gone invisible again and pressed himself against the camera lens?

Oh no! This is not cool! I need my daily dose of good boys to get my day off on the right paw!

What the blank, gocomics?!!

Of my set, I saw Pickles and Ziggy. Everything else is the X in a square.

Most of gocomics.com is blank so far today. It’s not just BCN.

blank pages – and it’s paid for = nice

At home, a couple hours ago, I got mostly blanks in my GoComics email. Now, at work, I have the strip. Enjoy the skritches, Tommy—and Puck, don’t miss your shot.

Pucky toe beans!!

Oh dear, this can’t possibly end well.

Tommy is a good distraction .

Go, Puck, go! Carefully now …

I’m trying to work in “take the bullets out your guns. The bullets out your guns. We move undercover and we move as one. Through the night, we have one shot to live another dayWe cannot let a stray gunshot give us awayWe will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in itIt’s either that or meet the business end of a bayonet”

I love Tommy’s stylish cravat. The latest haute cature from Paris.

The blank pages started randomly last night… first for comics from 6 July, and then 3 July, finally they all blanked out- on one, then both of the browsers i use. Looks to be fixed now, ‘though earlier this AM, GC wouldn’t even load.

Does it appear that the Woman should have used a little more SPF 150 the other day? She’s looking like her raspberry dress.

Love the view of Tommy’s under-chin and his whiskers stuck up in the air.♥

That’s right, cat. Go for the food. Steal it while you still can! That’s what I always say.

;-) As Robin would say, “That potato salad is…”

Came into work…turned on the lights and started the coffee. Sat at the computer and checked email and went to my bookmark of BCN.

??? – THE WEBSITE IS DOWN!!! OH MY CAT!!!

Okay, don’t panic. It is probably a glitch. Exit out and reload…IT’S STILL DOWN!

Deep breaths…Close my eyes and find your happy place. It will be okay. Go check on the coffee and it will be fine.

Came back with a cup of coffee. Hands are shaking a little more than usual. Tried the BCN site again.

Real tears…uncontrolled sobbing…will my daily fix of the BCN not be satisfied?

Close door to office, turn out lights, sit in corner and rock back and forth. Oh my cat…Oh my cat…Oh my cat…Oh my cat…

Early co-workers knock on my door: “Are you okay Robert?”

Pull it together…You are kind of, sort of a Man. You can deal with this. “I’m fine”, I call out to my co-workers. Find the tranquilizers and wash a handful down with a straight shot of Breakfast Whiskey. Wipe my eyes, fix a smile and open the door.

2 hours later…Oh joyous day, the site is back up. But now the tears are happy. The world is not ending.

It’s good to have an accomplice on the outside. :)

For those who missed MDMom posting this yesterday, here is an announcement from Georgia:

There will be a FB event page for this too, but I wanted to let Rhode Island/Connecticut readers know as soon as possible:

On Tuesday July 30th, I will be giving a talk at the Ashaway Free Library in Ashaway, RI at 4:30 pm! There may also be a book signing for ‘Lupin Leaps In’ (details for that are still coming together! If not, heck, I’ll sign whatever you hand me, lol!) I’ll be talking about how my childhood love of comics evolved into a career in the funny pages, with a behind the scenes glimpse into the real life cats and people who have inspired my stories.

I hope you can make it!

The site was getting glitchy last night around lights out for me.

Darn, that Tommy is good at creating a diversion. Who could resist tickling his chin?

I would give Tommy a scratch anytime. He’s so irresistible!

The site was down when I first tried logging in earlier today.

Ah, potato salad!! Go, Pucky, go Pucky!!!

Apparently, GoComics was down for awhile. Burt helped fix the connections …BCN is good to go!! :)

Tommy the distractor.

Got some sad news this morning…K died yesterday…she was a strong, fierce woman who raised a couple of strong, fierce daughters in spite of a hard life. Rest in peace, my friend.

OT: Team Nushi: Here is the link to the GoFundMe page for Nushi. For those who don’t know, “FIP” stands for Feline Infectious Peritonitis. As the name implies, it is a horrible disease, and until very recently, 100% fatal. No animal deserves to die like that. https://www.gofundme.com/help-nushi-beat-fip Please give whatever you can. The treatment is very expensive.

Thanks Pucky, now I have comic Ron White’s voice running through my head: “They call me ‘Tater Salad’!”

BTW, who here likes potato salad? (And if so, what do you like on the potatoes?

It’s great to be a distraction if you can also be pampered.

The old Cute Cat Trick.

“Woman, darling, scratch my chin”??!? Oh, Tommy, you are the Fred Astaire of the cat world, you ol’ smoothie you.

All the comics are back up. The cat-astrophe is averted.

He’ll not miss his shot. The potatosalad will be got.

OT: Lenore, Maggie, and Diego

Not exactly OT: Help Socializing Ferals

I’m so sorry!

Also from “What’d I Miss?” (Except for panel 3, of course)
