Puck: Hello viewers, Puck here! Ceiling Woman has gone to the library, leaving our Woman in the kitchen. Woman: Missing girl, frightened cats. What does it all mean? Lupin: Puck! I saw Tillie! I saw the old woman! Puck: What? Tillie is a cat you saw Freddie. Tillie: Freddie is a little girl. Roll again, gambler! Winifred Quinn: That calculator is playing music. (RING) Woman: Hi, honey! Man: Hey. Woman: Everything okay? Man: can you come to the basement? Elvis: Can we get coverage back in the basement? Burt? Lupin: Elvis, I'm live in the basement, where- Elvis: No, you're not. Stop it! You were just clinging to the side of my face- Lupin: And now I'm clinging to the side of the dryer... I'm a professional. Man: Found my lost pen! Woman: Yay-! Man: And this dead cat. Woman: Oh, how terrible. Man: Some mice got into the walls and messed with the wiring. Had my pen too. Man: The mice got away, but when I was following their trail, I found this poor cat. Man: I think there was an accident. Man: The bad news: an older beam caved in on it. I think when this part of the house was added on. Man: The good news: it was instant. Looks like this little cat never knew what hit it. Tillie: Whatcha looking at there, crackerjack? Puck: NOTHING! Everything's just aces, lumberjack!

Tillie never knew what hit her. Thanks to the robber mice stealing The Man’s pen they are fleshing out the story of what happened all those years ago.

Lupin, clinging to the side of Elvis’ face is about the funniest thing I’ve seen all month! : D You GO, Georgia! ♥♥♥ Watching everyone’s reactions and points of view is so much fun. “That calculator is playing music!”

Hope the ghost cat becomes a semi-regular.

I love the detail of the baby and toddler in the laundry basket. But mostly I love, love, love Puck trying to protect Tillie.

Really enjoying this storyline. Like a lot of ghost stories it has an air of melancholy about it. Luckily the cats add just the proper amount of humor and feline perspective to balance out the sad parts. I hope it ends well with Tillie and Freddie finally reuniting.

There is SO much in this one you can hardly keep up. The cats buzzing around; people making discoveries; “crackerjack” and "lumberjack’ in the last panel…beyond adorable. The Woman’s and Man’s expressions about the poor cat….what a FABULOUS strip. Always, but especially today! WOW!

I’ve read this before and I am still discovering Easter eggs in it. I remember the robber mice crawling along the ceiling, but hadn’t noticed Lupin hiding in the laundry basket before!

Awww… Puck trying to keep Tille from seeing she is dead. How sweet. I still hope that they realize the ghost is a cat.

Oh dear, I send this comic to a soft-hearted cat lover each time a new strip comes out. When Tillie first appeared, my friend worried about something sad happening. I assured her that Ms. Dunn would never write a sad story and that I was sure Tillie and her loved ones lived peacefully to a ripe old age. But I’m going to have to skip sending my friend the rest of this story arc and hope she doesn’t ask about it.
Don’t misunderstand! I, a great cat lover, am enjoying the story. I think it is sweet.

Also, the first panel is hilarious!

This arc is awesome. I had to go back to the beginning. I have been away. Ghost cats! And Freddie the ghost. Oooh.

I’ve read this entire comic strip from it’s beginning at least three times, and the first panel in this strip always makes me laugh. Ms. Dunn is such a good visual storyteller!

Time traveling today (September 25, 2024) … and I’ve just noticed for the first time that the laundry basket has cute ears and is holding a microphone!
