Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 26, 2016
Transcript:
Lupin: We've been forced into stupid little suits. Here's Elvis with more. Elvis: No. Lupin: Elvis...We're live. Elvis: This is the worst day of my life. Lupin: Yeah, well, I don't think any of us are putting this one in their diary....Puck? Puck: I'm a boy. Don't they know I'm a boy? Lupin: They went with "bee, ladybug, dragon". I don't think they thought this out, Puck. Elvis: This is what animal cruelty looks like. Lupin: Dragonfly! How hard would that have been?! Elvis: You too, huh? Baby: Sigh. Woman: I'm just gonna take a quick photo! Elvis: Haven't you done enough?

Call the RSPCA!
And Social Services for the cruelty to the baby as well.
(And, following yesterday’s discussion, I am quite convinced that our feline overlords do have these sorts of thoughts.)

Bico & Barney have figured out, if they let me get a couple good pictures, the costumes come off much sooner.

Oh the horror and indignity of it all! And poor Pucky, being dressed as a “lady” bug (when he is obviously a BOY); is this how the Toddler got the idea to call him “Mom Cat”?

Elvis is absolutely right, this is what animal cruelty looks like. Why on earth do stupid people put stupid costumes on animals?

I LOVE love this one! Just LOL! “This is what animal cruelty looks like.” TOO funny! I adore their cute little suits. And the way they’ve got a common ground with the baby who was forced to put up with an uncomfortable little suit as well. Cracks me up every time!

But you have to admit Elvis is the cutest little bumblebee ever.

Lupin’s face and ears in that first panel says it all. :) And in that next to last panel, did Elvis and the baby (now the toddler) just have a bonding moment? I love this strip. Georgia has totally captured the inner world of Cats.

Oh, come on, guys. No one (except the cats) really thinks this is animal cruelty. We all know what it looks like. This is just a comic.

Jacquelin, I believe it is up to us cats to define what is cruelty.

Complain all you want Lupin-you are the most adorable dragon ever. And yes-quick pic and then the costumes come off, no cruelty for that.

My favorite strip from the time it began. Love the reruns. Puck as a Lady Bug “I’m a Boy”, a great illustration & so like Puck.

I will never say out loud that I laughed when I first saw Elvis in costume, and laughed harder when I read the text. That would be mean. But it was FUNNY!!!! And what the heck is the Toddler got up as — a web-footed owl?? This is priceless!!

I really think dressing up cats is a bad idea. It’s the worst kind of anthropomorphizing. (Of course, I don’t think anthropomorphizing babies is a good idea, either.)

@ Carl42SG – You see no swishing tail? Look closely at panel 4. That angry bumblebee’s tail is going fast—it’s inside the costume, but the movement lines are there.

@ Oakstone “BBEars comments”??? Woss ‘BBEars’?

Fantastic strip, as usual!
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member about 8 years ago
…hmmm…I wonder where i can get a ladybug costume for my dog.
BlueIris Premium Member about 8 years ago
Oh… my… God! I just laughed out loud at Elvis as a bee! I can’t imagine getting any of my cats into a costume — only have one at the moment, but I’m also thinking of past ones. The current one won’t even let me hold me long, much less grab a paw to insert costume.

This is one of my favorite of the BCN strips, paws down. Angry Lupin with his squished up face is just too much. Elvis swiping at the built-in cat toys. Puck contemplating the truth of how his owners see him.
This is why I love this strip.

I think I would be dead if I tried to put costumes on my kitty – these guys look adorable though !

This is still one of my absolute favorite strips. Little angry fuzzy boys!!

Puck is catbug! I don’t think anyone knows what that is. If you do, let me know!
