Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 18, 2018

So much to love here.

Hahaha! The costume shop bag in the first panel. Lupin just can’t help himself.

A comparison chart! With pictures! And pickles.

I TURNED myself into a PICKLE, ELVIS! I’m PICKLE LUPIN!!!

Elvis is a serious reporter of serious news. None of this pickle nonsense. It’s not dignified either.

Clearly this is just cucumber propaganda!

Hee hee. Prepare to get jump scared, Elvis.

The Boys are in a real pickle here, and Elvis doesn’t relish the situation.

Puck’s little paw gesture (with toe beans) in panel four – this is not to be taken lightly.

IT’S ALIVE! RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

In related news, not only has the Wake County SPCA cleared all three of the Wayward Whiskers for adoption, but Leila was adopted on Saturday! Maya and Arizona (nee Callie) are still waiting for their new homes, but are happily adjusting to life as indoor cats.

Is this a follow up story to the spaghetti harvest story?

Our Lupin is quite the actor in the first panel! he’s got a great future in films ahead of him, watch out Garfield, younger competition is coming!

Verbal analogies! Looks as if they are prepared for the SAT. Or in their case, the CAT.

Quite right, Elvis. This sort of nonsense has no place in a serious news programme.

And kudos for “whichever”.

And do I see something from the “Costume Shop” behind the desk in panel 1?

I really don’t understand this. I’ve read the articles, seen the videos. I did the same thing with a pickle and both cats, and their reaction was… “meh”

I wonder how high Elvis can jump!

“Hector, keep an eye on things here. And I know that if you need to you’ll be able to ‘find’ me with that nose of yours. Only if it’s an emergency, though.” “No problem there. You know how much I enjoy using that thing.” “That thing? What are we going to be using exactly?” Tre- C chimed in; "Call it the ultimate short cut, big guy. Hector doesn’t like it so much because he kinda’ gets overwhelmed. Not that he can’t do it- he has when it’s needed. But I think he believes he’s small enough to get lost.” “Get lost in WHAT?” “Walk with me, Maxie. Follow Tre-C and do exactly what she does- we have about a block and a half.” “A block and a half? Seriously, where are we going?” “Missouri…”

If you want to really have fun, Lupin, dress the baby up in it.

Mummified cucumbers. I’ll never be able to eat pickles again without thinking of them as such.

Elvis proves he’s NOT a Pickle-puss, even if Puck keeps Lupin him into the story!

Before the “cats afraid of cucumbers” meme showed up, I noticed a lot of videos of cats being freaked out by either bananas or banana peels

This one is so cute; AND it is #5 on GoComics Top 5!

Give him a big hug, Lupin.

Good morning and happy Bunday, orbsters and orbabies. Lupin, you are such a scamp, to try to frighten Elvis that way. It’ll serve you right if he loses his temper and swats you silly.

Pucky and his charts!

Good for you, Elvis. Somebody’s got to fight it.

The tale of the, Cucumber Beast, is as old as kitty cat time! They started to stalk cats, shorty after the people finally allowed them inside, thousands of years ago. An old tale was passed down of how a brave cat swatted the beast into salty water! Her owner found it, several weeks later, liked it and named it after her. Thus, Pickles, the salt water Tabby, never got any credit!

I had no idea cucumbers sneaking up on cats was a thing. A quick search and I am enlightened.

Personally, I prefer my cucumbers pickled…

I LOVE Lupin’s crazy/happy smile. It’s as infectious as Tommy’s, but more dangerous.

When you think about, pickles are perhaps more analogous to bog bodies like Tollund Man. Cucumber pickled in brine and vinegar = body pickled in bog water full of tannic acid.

More costumes from the magical closet they have somewhere.

I can hear the scream from here!

Congrats on make top 5 picks that’s kind of a big dill

Is anyone familiar with the tradition of hanging a pickle ornament on a Christmas tree?

Lupin’s role being played by BENEDICT CUCUMBERBATCH…

I’m glad Georgia had one of the boys playing the pickle prank on the other instead of having one of the people do it. Coming from another cat makes it funny.

Onyx came to sis this morning & “asked” to be picked up. She reached up, put her front paws on sis’s knee, & gave an “imploring look” sis just couldn’t resist. Once up on sis’s lap, she proceeded to “melt” with head & paws hanging off every which way. I wonder if she’s part Ragdoll – they’re famous for doing that!

Elvis is about to do due dilligence on that sweet gherkin Lupin.

Peanut is to Butter ?

Dust is to Bunny ?

Sadly, one of my cats died last night. I’ve had him for a long time and he lived to a ripe old age, but it’s still sad. :( On a more upbeat note, love today’s comic. :)

Thank you Georgia for liking my post, I was having a rough day but then saw that you liked it and my face was like lupins in the last panel!

Elvis has a point.

My heart goes out to you, tad1. No matter how much you know it will happen, that doesn’t lessen the pain.

Ahh, yes … the “cats and cucumbers” videos online are fun.

Good strip here.
