Transcript:
Lupin: There's a woman at the door! Puck: Gasp! Woman 2: Hello, I got a call- Woman: Right this way! Tommy: Nibble nibble, I love kibble. Haha! Not today, cage-box! I know your tricks! Woman 2: Tommy! Tommy: Woman! Woman 2: Oh, Tommy, it is you! He's been gone so long, we almost lost hope! I can't believe he's only been a few blocks away this whole time! I'm glad to see he's made friends! Elvis: Okay- Tommy: I don't know how to thank you. Elvis: Well, I know for a fact you'd do the same for me. Tommy: Hello! Lupin: How did you get in? Elvis: Guys, I don't know how to tell you this... I think you were wrong about Tommy. Lupin: You don't say. Tommy: Put it there, new friends! Puck: I don't know how to feel about this. Do you mind if I smell your nose? Tommy: Not at all! Woman 2: C'mon Tommy! It's time to go home. Woman: Visit anytime! We're going to miss him! Woman 2: I will! We will! Tommy: Well, I guess this is it. Elvis: Wait!

This time it’s Puck who gets puffy at the sight of Tommy.
Lupin’s posture in 13 and his expression in 15 are both great.

Tommy, safe and going home at last! What a great Christmas story.

Just brilliant. I can read this one a million times. I can’t wait until she has her own syndicate empire. Then after Charlie Brown’s, we are all around the tv set in the living room to watch “A BCN Christmas.”

Before Elvis got home, I loved Tommy’s traffic cone Christmas tree. Georgia is so inventive.

Loved this the first time, and I loved it again.

What’s wonderful is seeing the bits I missed the first time around, like the passing of the baton (I mean, microphone).

Strangest coincidence – last time, right when I got to the “Woman!” and [knead, knead, knead] panels, a random allergic event made both my eyes water something fierce. And this time? It happened again.

Sniff! That’s so incredibly sweet!

The boys are celebrating with hot chocolate, whipped cream, and a candy cane, now that Elvis is back. Far too many allergy attacks while reading this thing but just the right sprinkle of humor, like the “nibble, nibble, I love kibble…not today, cage-box” and the looks on Lupin little face. Love how Lupin jumps in front of Puck protectively. He might be the youngest, newest member of the news crew, but he certainly is the boldest. Love, also, the explanation from Elvis that THEY were wrong about Tommy. Also like Tommy waving goodbye on all fours, just like a cat might, and the blue coat on his Woman…just like the one in the greenhouse.

I would SOOO love this arc to be a little book! I’d buy a dozen and give one to every friend and family I know.
Charles Freeman Premium Member about 8 years ago
“Ha ha! Not today, cage-box! I know your tricks.”I feel as if I should say this every time I get to the door of my office.
stampaniblock87 about 8 years ago
I love how Lupin is holding his arms out to protect Puck. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this strip!

Look at that hairy little Maine Coon foot in the last panel. I just love Tommy! And I just love this story.
jadoo823 about 8 years ago
…I think Panel 6 is one of my all-time favorites. The eternal few seconds before full comprehension…
noreenklose about 8 years ago
YAY ! ! ! ! !
I’m glad Tommy was accepted in CN, as a roving reporter.
Earle Self Premium Member about 8 years ago
Our beloved Maine Coon, who passed two years ago, was led to our house and shown the food dish by a mystery cat, who disappeared, never to be seen again…
dogday Premium Member about 8 years ago
Elvis is so gracious when he’s admitting that Puck and Lupin were wrong about Tommy. I can read this overandoverandover….but I run out of tissue.
dogday Premium Member about 8 years ago
And Tommy does become one of their most adventurous reporters, bringing in stories from far and wide. Georgia’s storytelling is just phenomenal.
