Didn’t Georgia just move to California? I must have missed something. Why is she moving again?
Georgia Dunn creator about 8 years ago
Thank you so much! Today begins the ‘Breaking Cat News’ break as The Man and I and the kids and the cats move back to the Seattle area and then I work on strips to get the comic ready for newspapers! GoComics will run the archives during the break, starting possibly on Monday or at least within the next week!
To quote Beatrix, “See you soon, everyone!”

Your absence will make our hearts grow fonder… though it’s hard to imagine being fonder of your work than we are right now. Onward, upward, and blessings!

Have a safe trip, Georgia and best of luck getting all settled in in your new place. Here’s hoping that Elvis, Puck and Lupin do not sing to you the entire trip. :) Today’s strip is fabulous.

I hope you have a safe journey AND don’t lose anything along the way…OR have any escapes! Can’t wait to see more about the adventures, when you’re able! OMC, what a great closing comic before the move!

The thought of moving across the street makes me shudder with fear and apprehension, let along moving across several states with cats and two babies! You Go Girl! To paraphrase Rudyard Kipling: “You’re a better woman then I Gunda Din!” Will miss you!

Safe Travels to all. I will be looking forward to the archives, reliving the memories. That being said, I will start a count-down clock for the New Season (just like network TV “Coming Soon!”Chin Scritches to the BCN team.

You go, Woman ! I know you are very happy to be moving back to the Seattle area, and I am rooting for it to stick this time :). What a great way to wrap things up, everyone gets ham, you celebrate black cat appreciation day, and we get a full color, multi panel Sunday-style strip we can keep going back to. LOVE the Puck and Lupin burning vacation days, and it took me a moment to figure out, but they are snapping Elvis into a harness and leash, right ? Brilliant! Force him to take a break.
Clearstream about 8 years ago
Thanks for breaking the news through a comic! I am fine with the break and will enjoy seeing older episodes!

I hope your move goes well and newspapers make the wise choice and pick up BCN. We all hope you return from this hiatus, and as quickly as possible, and I’m sure the less tech-savvy will appreciate the comics being available in newspapers. :D

Apparently The Man got an excellent job offer in Washington state, which is where they really want to live. Georgia is happy to move back there before the kids start school. Looking forward to new strips this fall!

“When the cat’s away, the mice will play.” Just look at ‘em, standing there with their empty loot sacks, hoping to find lots of uncontested Good Stuff! I do hope the Robber Mice won’t get into too many bad old habits without the boys around! Hey, maybe they’ll even get bored!
Poor Elvis, being dragged away in harness! He may not like vacations, but he does like complaining, so he’ll probably be pretty happy after all — even if he’d never admit it.
bettyherr about 8 years ago
Good luck and all best wishes to Georgia, The Man, The Baby and The Toddler — and of course, the Four-foots! —on their/your move back to Seattle. Be safe, be happy, be well. We’ll see you again in the fall.

Have a safe and wonderful journey with all your family (human and furry), Georgia. I can’t say how much I love this strip and the community you’ve created. I hope you have an easy trip (two babies and three cats – I don’t think so) , settle in quickly and then get syndicated. And congratulations to The Man on his new job.

Have a safe move and good luck with the addition of the newspaper venue. Hopefully one of our two local papers will pick it up.
dogday Premium Member about 8 years ago
“C’mon goofball. Road trip!” I LOVE that! The vacation attire, and especially the “goofball”, which is what my husband calls our dogs at appropriate times. Like when he’s trying to get them in harness and they’re too excited about their outing to actually get TO their outing.
dogday Premium Member about 8 years ago
Georgia, to you and your crew, along with everyone else I wish you safe travels and congratulations on getting back to WA. Thank you for providing this wonderful hiatus send-off – very clever and absolutely adorable. And the archives while you’re gone. One day at a time, don’t stress (HA!), and know we’re keeping the back-to-work fires lit for you. Wait….that didn’t turn out to be as nice as it was intended. We’ll be here!!!!
drmickeyg about 8 years ago
Safe travels and happy landings to you, your family, and the crew. We’ll be in good hands with Burt and I’m sure Baba Mouse will keep the robber mice in hand! The hiatus gives us all something happy to anticipate (sort of like Christmas, or another celebration!) I eagerly look forward to new stories!
Krazgamer about 8 years ago
Love the mice’s question. They’re prepared!! Look forward to your return.

May Lupin and Puck lead you safely to Seattle. They are definitely ready and Elvis will learn to cope, maybe by Oregon!
Clearstream about 8 years ago
Haha! Wow! Just went to look at the first strip ever, and I can’t believe how different it is from today’s strips!
catmom1360 about 8 years ago
I’ll miss BCN while it’s gone (for a while), but I will happily anticipate its return. It’s my favorite strip. Best of luck to you Georgia.
