Lupin: Our mouse for your mouse. Your move, Robber Mice. NEWS Headline: HO-HO-HOSTAGE EXCHANGE. NO TURNING BACK, EVERYONE ON NAUGHTY LIST. Elvis: In other news, local reporter injures paw. Elvis: His stoic courage remains inspiration to all. (Limp Limp Limp) Elvis: Really, don't worry about him. Elvis: HE'S FINE. Puck: Do you think your friends will bring Buzzy Mouse back? Buzzy Mouse's Sister: No. I think my sister will overreact and try to rescue me and make things worse. Puck: I appreciate your honesty. (TAP TAP) Buzzy Mouse's Sister: You're welcome. Burt: Tommy is standing by for the live segment. Puck: Oh, hey Burt. Puck: I'm just guarding the mouse we caught. Puck: It's giving me a guilty tummy ache... Burt: Puck, may I offer an observation? Puck: Yes, please. Burt: This anger and revenge business doesn't suit you. Burt: What are your remaining Christmas tips? Puck: 'Love they neighbor,' forgive your enemies,' and 'eat wrapping paper.' Burt: You stay on this path and you're only going to feel good about one of those. Burt: Every heart doubles as a compass, Puck. I think if you check yours again, you'll find you already know what direction to take. Puck: Wow. Thanks, Burt. Puck: (Sigh.) Puck: Let's get you bac- WHAT- Alice: MERRY KICKMAS!

Tommy: Well...To demonstrate, Puck's Christmas tip, I'd just like to let you know how much your company means to- Sophie: Not now, Thomas. I can't get this "found object tree" right.... Sophie: ...Something is missing. Elvis: I don't believe it.... Elvis: It's Buzzy Mouse! Natasha: How?! Lupin: What?! Alice: Then...Where's Agnes?!

Reading the tree… Ms. Artist seems to be writing in a foreign tongue (i.e., Canine), expressing a mild and abbreviated oath (Gosh Darn), and finally deciding that’s, well, ’K.

Also, more support for my notion of a Buddhist inflected feline stoicism, courtesy of wounded Elvis.

The mystery is unfolding—— Buzzy Mouse is back and Agnes has disappeared. Who has pulled this switcheroo? I love Lupin all tied up and dangling over the desk edge—- ( I was born for this, Tommy!) Elvis unwrapping the package while the little mouse perches on his shoulder is another favorite panel. But the big smile on Puck’s face is just the best!

..I haven’t sneaked a look at the rest of this story, so I’m going to guess that the Ceiling Cats (Sir Figaro and Tabitha) have a hand in this somehow, since we haven’t seen anything of them yet…(but I’m probably wrong :)…)

Well, Georgia, you’ve done it again; with little Puck as your messenger. Nicely done.

I love Burt’s advice to Puck. It’s perfect for cats and all their humans.

I love how the CN presses forward as planned despite all the cats being in the middle of getting captured by mice.
