Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 29, 2018

Hail Bat-Puck, guardian buddy!

OWNED. Sorry, Elvis, I have to side with Lupin on this. What were you going to do with that letter if the Mailman does not exist, Sir Angry Fussy Paws?

Elvis is quite the paradox!

I would most certainly call Puck a hero, and a really great one at that!

So does Lupin believe what Puck KNOWS TO BE TRUE and is pointing out that subconciously Elvis knows Puck is right as well?

OK… I’m calling this one. You are cats dealing with Schrodinger’s Monster. There absolutely IS a monster under the bed. And there always will be a monster under the bed. Unless you look under the bed…

“How in Cat’s name did you find out he spoke Human?” “Well, I saw him pacing back and forth at the fence, but he wasn’t barking. I slowly walked up to the fence, and he walked up to meet me. Not fierce, not aggressive, but ungodly big. Just as a reflex, I meowed a ‘hello, how are ya’ to him. You know what he did? He tilted his head to one side, dropped down on his front legs like he wanted to play, and meowed ‘ok, I guess’ back to me! Granted, kind of a meow/growl, but you could have knocked me over with a catnip toy…” Maxie was trying to imagine a dog that could communicate with a cat. In fact, Maxie was trying to imagine a dog that didn’t want to jump on a cat, let alone talk with it. This was revolutionary, and Megan agreed. “I need to talk with this dog, this Baywolf. And if this fight is going on at noon tomorrow, I need to talk with him tonight…”

Absolutely Puck is a hero! He may not consider himself one but he truly is :)

And honestly Elvis, you can’t protest a monster’s existence then proclaim it doesn’t exist. You’re a professional journalist for cat’s sake

Elvis and Puck are both doing their part for the toddler,

“Under the bed”. That’s the cat version of “the dark side”.

This does not necessarily imply the existence of a “mailman”. Food and other things magically appear and disappear from the house. Or it could be delivered by drone or robot – or a “mail-woman”.

“We are fierce guardian buddies.” Fierce and fearless. Unless it’s the vacuum cleaner and then all bets are off.

Lupin is on the front lines of reporting today, putting himself into the path of danger to bring CN viewers up to the minute coverage of the Monster Under the Bed situation.

The existence of mail does not imply the existence of a mailman. Mail can be explained in other, less supernatural, ways.

Nor does a letter protesting about the monster imply the existence of the monster. The protest (no matter how strongly worded) only has force if the monster exists. If there is no monster, the protest lapses, but if there is a monster, Elvis has covered that contingency.

(“Imply” in the sense of strict material implication, such that p → q is equivalent to not (p or q). Since GoComics does not seem to fully support classical notation, Cpq equivalent to NKpq in Polish notation.)

Sheesh, would certain cats go look under the bed while Puck is on guard?

Puck could – unfortunately – be a selffulfilling prophecy. Being the monster under the bed.

There is no truth that cannot be denied if you disbelieve strongly enough.

Dude!

Would this be the Star Trek blob-monster y’all were referring to yesterday?

Update: I want to thank everyone who purred, hugged, booped, headbutted and contributed — YOU helped to get me through the month! I am still trying to find a place to live. An apartment seemed to open up, but the tenant changed her mind. I have been on the phone to several county agencies, who say funding does happen but right now there isn’t any. Meanwhile, I’m applying for disability. I have about another two months before I’m homeless. But I still have faith, like Micawber said, something extraordinary is bound to turn up!

Love Lupin’s raised eyebrow in the last panel!

Why is the old song “The Ill-Assorted Guard” playing in my head all of a sudden?

True heroes rarely call themselves heroes. They just act heroically when needs must. Puck sees a need and rises to the occasion.

I may have said this before but, my kids were never afraid of monsters after the first time. I told them our cat Gator ate monsters. That was why she hunted under the bed, slept with them and was so fat. She would jump up in the bed and purr when they were sick or scared. She lived with us til she was 17. Made every military move except the retirement one. Sometimes I have to remember to not be scared, now that’s she’s gone.

DennisinSeattle asked me if i still had a GoFundMe site up.

Nope.

But, i would be willing to start another one if anyone shows any interest in helping me with the van.

Good morning and happy Thursday/Purrsday, orbsters and orbabies!

Elvis, be sensible. You can’t deny the existence of the mailman and the monster and then send off a strongly worded letter about the monster. Doing this implies that you do believe in the monster and the mailman, thus setting up a paradox worthy of Heinlein.

. . . Late yesterday, I posted this note from Ms Dunn: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqvxcaQl4sS/

YEE-GADS! 333 POSTS! This becomes heaving reading! lol! :)

In no way does this settlement imlpy an wrongdoing on our part

Has anyone heard from Noaishte since her post the other day?

Why is Elvis SMILING about a alleged “lie”? Hypocrite!

Elvis is just upset that Puck’s stolen the spotlight from him.

Why does Lupin say “CN news”? That’s like saying PIN number. “CN” is “Cat News,” so, in effect, he’s saying “Cat News news.”

Logic is lost on Elvis, Lupin.

Hi, all! I’m back from my surgery, it was a complete success! Recovery has gone better than expected, and I am very grateful for all your support during this experience! (Though I did find it ironic that I have been given implants on cyber week.)

Get them, Pucky. They are scaring your family.

Pucky looks like a cross btw a melted ice cream and toothless the Dragon:)

Yes Puck you have done what any cat would do except Elvis of course. Keep up the good work Puck and don’t listen to scaredy cat Elvis, we all saw the mailman too.

HUH ???

Man ! They REALLY need to up their game on the comments section ;*)

Who knows what evil, lurks under your bed? The shadow…oops! I mean…The Puck knows!

going under the knife in T minus 20 hours…see you all on the other side!

I see Puck has wisely tucked his tail in.

Elvis, in his complete denial phase.

I want to thank Georgia and ALL of the Orbbuddies on BCN. I was not having a good day at all until I got here. You have made my day much more pleasant.

I have a new GoFundMe campaign. The address is at my profile. Thats all i can say about it here.

High five Lupin!
