I wonder if the People even have a cheese wheel at the Pink House. Oh noes, what will the Boys do if all they have is a package of Kraft sliced cheese to leave for the ransom demand?
I wonder if Georgia is a fan of “The Amazing Race.” The mention of a cheese wheel always reminds me of the challenge where they had to carry cheese wheels down a hill and the wheels all start falling off the carriers and rolling everywhere!
“Tre-C, Max, come here. Baywolf, you know the little girl, but get the scent of this one, too. His name is Max, and he’s a good cat, a good friend.” “MAX. GOOD CAT.” Maxie extended his paw, pads up, through the fence and said;”Good to know you, friend…” Tre-C looked at Max and whispered; “I bet at full volume he could blow down a solid-core door with that bark…” “Hush! I need you to give me one hundred percent of your attention.” Megan had spent the better part of the morning thinking, planning, worrying over the action they were going to take. “Tre-C, the Human is likely to bring his animals one at a time right out the double door entry to the shop. This is his shop, his ego. He wants to be the lead float in the parade. Get in the rafters just above the opening and be prepared if you have to jump. Max, I want you to sneak into the office and get into a position that you can see out without being seen. Nobody’s going in the shop, so you’ll be safe; nobody’s going to even open the office. ‘Wolf’… mama’s got some special instructions for you…”
Time to call the BC News Farm Bureau and get Baba Mouse on the case! She’ll recover Buzzy Mouse, and send the Robber Mice packing with her trusty broom and a “Git”!
I can’t tell you guys how much I love this story. I love it as much as I did the first time I saw it. Georgia is such a brilliant artist and storyteller. Thank Cat BCN is in newspapers and all over the Internet everywhere. All people of good will deserve to read this during the holidays.
Good morning and happy Tuesday/Bluesday, orbsters and orbabies. Maybe there’s some leftover cheese ball from Thanksgiving that the boys can filch from the Man and Woman and repurpose as Buzzy’s ransom.
I have some major running around to do today and tomorrow, preparing for Paul’s birthday on Thursday. Even though it’ll just be the two of us, I have duck breast that I am planning to do in orange sauce with five-spice powder or star anise, potatoes parisienne, and a nice cake for dessert. I am going to pick everything up today, along with, possibly, a few more assorted eminently munchable munchables for between now and Christmas.
Excellent continuity with the red crayon from yesterday, and the note today! Not sure if Panel 3 is actually done in crayon or not – it doesn’t look like the typical watercolor media. In any event, love the artwork here!
Side note, Georgia has posted their tree (which is apparently being left alone) and the boys in their Christmas sweaters on Instagram. Goldie can be glimpsed behind Elvis; apparently she has taken to sweaters with even less enthusiasm than the boys. Be warned…cuteness overload.
Elvis: NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!! [smashes a coffee cup in anger; All pause, shocked] I will not sacrifice Buzzy Mouse. We’ve made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our House, and we fall back! They invade the News Room, and we fall back! They assimilate entire Cheese Wheels, and we fall back. Not again! The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them PAY for what they’ve done!
Think about the scenario. Four mice stole the favorite toy from 3 cats and are ransoming it back. The mice aren’t very smart. Don’t mess with friends no matter what it will get you in trouble. Regardless of the fact that those that you stole from are your mortal enemies and predators. Good luck girls you are gonna need it.
Just another quick update: My husband is responding well to the anti-psychotic meds (a once-monthly injection to boot – no daily pills!) and will be discharged from hospital tomorrow and begin outpatient treatment. It will be good to have time home.
My left hand is recovering well from surgery last week, but it appears that I may have damaged a finger on my right hand during the chaos of the last few weeks, and that may require additional surgery. Sigh. At least there are options to fix what’s wrong, right?
I now have 5 cats, a miniature tortoise, and a dog with me in the new house (the one who was already with me – we have not found the dog who got lost in Texas). We have water in all sections of the house now, and even have hot water! Still no ceiling lights in most of the rooms (I’m using floor lamps in the meantime), but we’ll get a fridge delivered on Thursday, so perishable food is in my future!
The other morning, I took my dog Cody for a walk around our land (it’s just 2.5 acres, but that’s more land than I’ve ever had before, so it seems vast to me). It was cold, and there were frozen leaves on the ground that shimmered with silver ice. The rest of the ground wasn’t iced – just the glittering leaves. It was magical, and I feel so blessed to have this life, even with all of it’s recent challenges.

With just a few lines, Georgia manages to convey so much emotion. Elvis’s eyebrows seem so show anger; Puck’s show worry; Lupin’s show confusion.

Cheese wheels vary in size and cost. This is a typical comics cheese wheel:

I’m going to leave the campaign up for a little while longer.
One of these days the slow leak in the steering box is going to become a big leak. I really do need to get it replaced.

$264.50 shop labor @ $150hr.
-$94.00 in some kind of discounts. Sr.?
Anyway, i asked them how much it would cost me to replace the steering gear box. About $1200. More or less.
