Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 03, 2023

A beautiful Anthem! And Mona sings it so well. Long may their Demolecracy reign! I say everyone hugs Montague to let him know he is forgiven! Even Wilfred Brimoley agrees!

Ba-ya-ya, Indeed!

A miscount of the vote would be a revoting situation…

Love Montague holding his chapeau over his heart.

Um … is it Seal’s Kiss From A Rose?

I’m really glad to see Mole Brimley on board with the new regime. I was worried he would be a hard sell on demolecracy, but he appears to approve. Yea for all.

Does this mean that Elvis is the only one who didn’t get a medal? I demand a recount!

Ba ya ya, ba da ba, da da da, goodbye…

It won’t last. Societies based on cumulative idiocy are doomed.

What is the thing with Wilfred Brimley?

So they’re going in for building rather than demoleition?

Good on them! These moles are cleaning up their mess in every way. May peace reign.

Georgia came in late yesterday and liked a bunch of comments and added some comments inside threads, which means they won’t show up as featured comments. She made this reply to @Gloria Fleming’s comment about how none of us predicted Magazine’s new title:

“Thank you!! And I confess, I was very anxious this one would be guessed lonnng before this moment! I’m delighted it was such a surprise, as very silly as it is!”

The moles are adorable when they’re not warmongering.

all right, it’s getting cold out. Back to the pink house

Is the Mole anthem “Under Pressure” by Queen?

So, they’ve come to peace with “Kiss From A Rose?” I guess that’s moleocracy in process.

Seal: Mole National Anthem

Ba ya ya, ba da, ba da da da da, ba ya ya

Ba ya ya, ba da, ba da da da da, ba ya ya

Ba ya ya, ba da, ba da da da da, ba ya ya

Ba ya ya, ba da, ba da da da da, ba ya ya

…….

There is a field of flowers where wildlife stays

We, the moles, do pledge our support to maintain

Love remains the standard that must always remain!

…….

And do you know through sun and snow

We dig for our friends and our neighbors wherever we see!

…….

We are the moles who are blessed in the field

Ooh, the more we see our friends the better it seems

Whether in sunshine or gloom

There’s plenty of room for our friends!

…….

All our blessings to all of our friends

All of our blessings to all of our friends

We’ll never fail, our love will not go away

We have been blessed in the field!

…….

And do you know through sun and snow

We dig for our friends and our neighbors wherever we see!

An unanswered question is what the mole anthem was before Montague introduced Kiss From a Rose. Some possibilities:

Digsie

The Unternationale

La Moleseillaise

Any other ideas?

Why is the last panel making me hear In a gadda da vida ?? What tune did everyone else hear?

Is the tune set to Maurice Ravel’s ‘Boléro’?

No idea what that tune is supposed to be, the ba-ya-ya makes me think of Earth Wind and Fire’s September. Lovely to see demolecracy in action!

0h, say can you dig,By the Big Pink House walls, Where so rudely we came, While the cats were still sleeping. At the raccoons’ dumpster, The swoosh of their vacuum,Gave proof through the night, That the opossums were right.

Moles get knocked down, but they get up again

No one’s ever gonna keep them down

They put cats down, but brought them up again

Tommy’s never gonna wear a frown

Monty was foamed down, but he got up again

Cured of one mega bonkers meltdown

Thimblefist sings LOUD, but I can hear again

No one’s ever gonna hate that sound

Lip sync if your voice stinks. don’t blink while thimbles clink

Moles sing the song that reminds them of the good times

They sing the song that reminds them of the better times

Ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya

I vote with moles, better than the lot of morons we have

July 28th cartoon: We meet Mona and learn the Mole National Anthem is Seal’s Kiss From a Rose.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Royal Stables

Puckmosis: Your Majesties, may I introduce our Noble Steeds, Avenger and Emma-Peelia. Emma and Avenger, Their Majesties King Monty and Queen Lisa.

Emma: It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesties. We are doing everything possible to ensure you have a safe and comfortable journey to Punn State.

King Monty: The pleasure is ours. And who is this fine young filly?

Avenger: This is our daughter, Diana. She will be participating in the halftime celebration with Lupinium and his tumblers.

Queen Lisa: I look forward to that. Do you enjoy halftime celebrations, Young Diana?

Diana: Yes, Your Majesty. Uncle Loopy has taught me so much.

Queen Lisa: I think it will be a wonderful time indeed.

By the "aye"s of the (nearly) blind, they shall see it through!

Not sure about the words. But I’m hearing La Marseillaise in my head.

I think Elvis has a “grumpus” attitude toward the whole thing.

Peace at last!!! No wonder I like the strip better than the real news!!

So from revolutionaries to landscapers.

Considering Montague’s rather Napolean-esq pre-battle actions, I am hearing “La Marseillaise” as the mole national anthem – possibly a nod to “Les Miserables”?

I’m totally digging the mole national anthem.

Thank heavens they chose Democracy, for we all can bear witness how a republic works, or should I say doesn’t, work out.

I know this is a little late – but, I believe moles have pink noses. I think they’d be cuter like that, too. Just a suggestion for the book. Love the story!

Does this mean that when the People (FINALLY) go into the backyard they won’t be able to notice that a war occured?

Such an obvious question (and off-topic): has there been any thought of working with a toy manufacturer to make/sell toy Elvises, Pucks, Lupins and Goldies? etc? in characteristic poses and expressions? Would be amazing!

The mole national anthem? Let’s hear it.

Kiss From a Rose!

I know Sunday strips rarely follow the storyline of the weeklies, but I would love for this Sunday to show us how Popcorn recorded events for posterity.

BaToMH Alert – Back and Top of Mole Heads!

MOLEE!

Apparently Slim Gaillard wrote the mole national anthem. Vout o rootie.

How about a representative republic so the majority doesn’t lord over the minority voices????
