Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 11, 2024

Betcha the UFO is trying to contact Tortimer.

Where are the raccoons that there are screens?

Well, Tortimer seems to be guarding them, so he’s probably not an enemy agent.

What the – indeed. But on a happier, tastier note…. That ice cream ain’t gonna eat itself! SPOONS AWAY!

Hey! You doombas better not have hacked Lupin’s teleprompter! Rude!

Oh, and BTW, Lupin toebeans! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Trying to get a good look at the alien writing..!!!

Love Georgia’s technique for the eerie white glow….

Like the double back of cat heads.

I like Georgia’s alien language. I remember a college course where we had to design a new alphabet, which was much harder to do than one would expect.

Turn Tortimer off! He’s being signalled!

My Google Translate is not detecting the language but has picked out individual words as Latin, Cormorant or Norwegian.

Of course the screens turned on. TV hypnotizes so many people, it’s a natural for pacifying the masses. That’s how you keep the people vulnerable.

It’s October, Halloween is coming so of course the Aliens are here!

Today is 11 October. Spend it in reverent contemplation of the morrow.

And I like the halloween blanket.

Are they now going to trap Lupin?

Love the ghost-covered blanket. Everybody’s PJs have a flying Pucky design except Lupin. Are his pumpkins? I can’t tell.

Oh no! Lupin’s gone with the screen!

I love BKN!

Obveeously them steenky aliens is up to no goods.

Looks like Tortimer is one of the “kids”. But what’s the blanket doing in panel 3?

They’re HEEEEEERE!

Me likes that white halo effects of them glowing screens. Nice effects.

Aha. Just what the ancient astronut theorists was always suspected. Them steenky aliens is communicating with some sortsa ancient aliens language.

¢€X€$√πק #&₹%{=÷√€æi : Translation : We is here to serve man. And cat. And raccoons too. And of course to sells intergalactic cook books.

Translation- We have come for your 1292abz, dust bags…our planet no longer makes them…Amazon charges too much to ship them!

When I was very young, apparently I would actually say “what the?” when I was surprised by something. My parents thought it was hilarious and it wasn’t until I was older that I realized that it’s just a cartoon expression and no one really says it out loud.

I’m reminded of a game called Voices of the Void, where you play as a researcher who is sent to run a radio telescope array in Switzerland by himself. It has what I’ve heard called a “creepy and comfy” vibe. There’s nothing like staring out a huge picture window in the dead of night as weird extraterrestrial signals play.

.

And yes, there’s aliens….

OH, MY CAT! It’s a recipe!

Klaatu/The Carpenters: Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft

Lt. Uhura: We are being hailed by an unknown craft, Captain.

Captain Kirk: Put it on screen.

Spock: It appears to be a musical piece. The words are being sung by a beautiful woman from the 20th Century.

Karen:

In this time there many tools, you know

To assist you when it’s time to clean within your home

Please listen now and concentrate on what you need to do

To have a tidy house, we suggest to you

…….

Calling occupants of every tidy house

Calling occupants of every tidy house

Calling occupants of every very tidy, spotless and so white house!

…….

We’ve been observing your homes

And one night we’d like to make a contact with you

We can be friends!

…….

Calling occupants of every tidy house

Calling occupants of every tidy house

Calling occupants of every very tidy, spotless and so white house!

…….

And always be neat we beseech you

Chaos and mess are not cool

Please all you stellar housekeepers

Won’t you give us a sign, give us a sign

That you know the rules!

…….

Calling occupants of every tidy house

Calling occupants of every tidy house

Calling occupants of every very tidy, spotless and so white house!

Alien ship flies off to spread its message of hope and neatness.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile (Encore Edition)

Elvis-Anum: So you’ve been writing your story down from the beginning?

Mag-Lor: Yes. I don’t know if anyone will ever read it, but I would like to share it.

Beatrixia: I would love to see it.

Mag-Lor: It’s in Tengwar script, not everyone can read it.

Elvis-Anum: I can. I learned Elvish during my travels in my youth.

Mag-Lor: You did the Dancing Corsair training?

Elvis-Anum: Yes. I learned many languages then.

Mag-Lor: Then would you like to transcribe the scrolls?

Elvis-Anum: Absolutely! You have a story that needs to be told!

Beatrixia: And that means you would need to return here when the scrolls have been completed.

Mag-Lor: Not a problem. I think I would enjoy some more Xanadu Honey and exquisite cheeses.

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Since the hour grows late, I propose you spend enjoy our evening entertainment and stay overnight.

Fe-Anaro: Thank you most kindly, Your Majesty. We will take our leave of you on the morrow.

Panel three is giving me serious Poltergeist vibes. Things are getting spookier!

It says “We have come for your ice cream.”

Lupin in charge!

I do love that Georgia has created an alien language!

I’m reminded of the film Contact, in which Amy Adams plays a linguist who deciphers the communication system of the alien Heptapods.

Iggy doesn’t look worried at all, with his cute, single fang grin! :-)

Well, we now see where Lupin and Iggy are/have been.

That is spooky! What does the message say? Can Tortimer read it?

Lupin for the win!

Folks, I’m done with meetings and flying home today. It will be a long day of logistics, but hopefully all will go reasonably.

If you could read their lines, love

What a tale those bots could tell

Just like a scary movie

’Bout ghosts that have cast a spell

In their castle dark, blanket fortress strong

With Lupin’s guarantee

“You kids are safe with me

Until the others are set free

As long as there is ice cream left, OZ"

/Gordon Lightfoot /If You Could Read My Mind

“If…you.,,can…this…you’re…too…close to the screen. Didn’t…your…mothers…tell…you…that??”

Cue the tuba music from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum.

When I first read this I thought Lupin was going to tell Ora she couldn’t eat all the ice cream. In my defense it was the middle of the night and I probably wasn’t thinking straight. I should have know Lupin just wanted to join in.

No one can hear ice cream in a vacuum

I didn’t see them, but the northern lights were visible around here last night. Hopefully they were really northern lights and not alien Roombas. :)

Hope the aliens didn’t beam up the ice cream :(

So either the aliens think the Earthlings already know how to read their language or at least would have ready means of translating it on demand…or that message isn’t meant for the Earthlings specifically.

Okay – who else is looking at those screens and trying to translate them?

OT:More stuff.

Hey guys! I think I have the solution…the screen is showing the universal alphabet from the Futurama show.Now if I could just take the time to decode it…..anybody up for the job?

Where’s Mama Vac?

I just hope that no one gets probed.

So it is aliens. I think they’ll find Lupin, O. Z., and the raccoon kits a bit hard to handle, especially with Beatrix working behind the scenes.

I think I’ve deciphered as much of the writing as I can. I’ll put it below so as not to spoiler anyone.

I’ve solved it. Posting below.

Kitten tooth! Lupin’s a big kid at heart. And not sure what’s going to happen next.

Not really Off-Topic

I got inspired to make Puck’s Cozy Spiced Applesauce this afternoon; it’s cooling now and it smells SO good!

A MYSTERY! Looks like my friend’s handwriting tho, so shouldnt be too hard to decipher.

Ummm, If I am not mistaken, but the “writing” symbols resembles that of an episode of Unsolved Mysteries. In this episode, they covered the “Roswell, NM. Alien crash”. On one of the “relics” viewed, the symbols were etched on a “Beam” that was witnessed by many people. Just saw that episode and vaguely remember these similar symbols…

Although the symbols are completely different, I’m reminded of those used in Black Panther, where the Wakandan writing is based on an old Nigerian language.

The blanket still looks like it’s becoming an important part of panel 3. And after all it is panel 3.

Lupin has taken charge.

OT: Jerika
