Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 08, 2019

The saving roll is new. Must be like Call of Cthulhu.

Then again, as Elvis says, it’s H. P. Lovecraft’s fault.

SPOILER ZONE

Fire away!

Do not look directly into the Void, man! You cannot grasp the true form!

I figured Lupin would be more of the D&D player type. But I guess he has to stay on the anchor desk.

The Man is a hero! He’s always ready to brave the elements to save a kitty! Thank goodness he has his knitted cap on to keep him from going insane out there!

The Man is so brave to rescue the poor cat. I hope he makes it out safely from the void.

If you crit, do you spend the winter typing “All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy?”

He should be fine. He has at least a +10 modifier. He’d have to roll . . . well, like I did that one time . . . to run into any trouble.

Not understanding the last panel, but too tired to Google BillJ’s reference … later this morning.

Oh my Cat, get moving Man—the poor little shivering kitty needs to be saved from that freezing void before it’s too late!! If I could reach through this screen I would rescue her myself!

Another one of my favorite charts!

This story arc is somewhat similar to a story I just read on the news! An almost frozen solid kitty was found in a snowbank in Montana and miraculously was revived by the vets! I’m so happy that kitty is alive and at the same time, I’m so upset that the owners let their kitty outside in the first place!

Staring into the void is survivable. The real trick is withstanding the shock when you realize something in the void is staring back at you.

“He went calling ‘WILLLLLD FIRE’!!! “

Awww! Lupin’s Indiana Jones Cat-of-Adventure hat!

This also just in: Apparently the void is a bit chilly! In related news: Puck’s whiskers may or may not be frozen now!

Dalek dress up?

There is nothing quite like a cat to let you know how they want the job properly done.

Ha! I knew Georgia had some gamer geek in her!

Give him a plunger so he can do Dalek impressions.

Elvis has worn scarves before. So they obviously don’t tether that tightly.

He is doomed, doomed I say! Hrumphh…(Robin wasnt here yet. Just filling in.)

I lived in Sweden for a while, so I know about the protective gear. I also know it isn’t guaranteed total protection. You can wear it all, and still be

Come on Man, shake a paw. There’s a kitten freezing out there.

No headbonks, rubbings and purrs for protection and luck?

And so the Man bravely suited up to venture into the void to save the kitten, with way too many toes…Catspeed, man, we at BCN, salute you!

Possibly my favorite chart of all! Protective Gear Against the Void!

…You have on your cumulative +10 armor and go to save the fury Princess. You come to a portal and open it. You come face to face with a Winter Dragon Kuraokami. What do you do?

Great D&D reference, Puck, and you have donned your sweater as well! And Lupin’s hat of adventure is ready!

The man sort of looks like one of those wooden peg people toys.

Looking out the window here right now, and am happy to say that out of the snow and ice has melted away.

The Man is our hero today. With Puck cheering him onward.

Happy TGIF, orbsters and orbabies! I seem to have misplaced my location beacon which guards against insanity. I guess I’ll have to use Paul’s. C’mon, man, get a move on and go save that kitten!

I’m cold. I have been cold all winter.

Looking at The Man all bundled up, knowing that iv’e got to go out in it soon, makes me feel all the colder.

I’ll need that hat tomorrow when I venture into the Void.

Given that the Man is living with those three cats, a toddler, and a baby, I doubt that he has much sanity left to lose.

Reading these comments, I get the feeling that a number of you are sitting together in a pub somewhere totally making merry.

also, could someone tell me what day someone when on a rant about “one of my favorites”. I’d like to take a gander…

The anticipation is killing me!! Also, <3 the D&D reference.

Heroes have many faces and wear many kinds of armor. Sometimes that armor is fluffy with an adorable bobble on top, but the stats on that roll (and the audience appreciation score) say it’s very good armor indeed!

And while Invisible Lupin is among my top ten BCN tropes n’ themes (how’s that for a “one of my favorites” replacement?), our Cat of Adventure and his hat need to stay firmly inside – and visible – today!

That’s how I dressed up this morning to fill the bird feeders.

Could you guys pray for a friend of mine? Her name is Karen and she’s having open heart surgery today.

Saw this on GC home page this a.m. too true!!! https://www.gocomics.com/sketchshark-comics/2019/02/04

The Mrs has a Tam o’ shanter with a bright orange pom. Believe me, it is a very good location beacon.

I need one of those hats that guards against insanity.

Too late for me. I think I misplaced my sanity long ago.

The story reminds of the outside cat story recently on The Weather Channel. The owners found their cat caked in freezing, wet snow in sub-zero temperatures. They rushed her to the vet, who nursed her back and warmed her up.

No worries! Fluffy is fine now! (You should see her when they found her)! I think she’ll now be an ‘indoor cat’ from now on! :)

I am a redhead, therefore I have a natural location beacon.

At least the Boys are smart enough to stay out of the void. Some of us have kitties that at least want test the void a little at least. Of course it’s been in the 70’s here for the last 3 days but the 20’s will be back tonight.

I’m geeking out over the D&D reference thanks Georgia

The man is a really good gamer though so he will probably roll a couple natural 20s so he should be safe on this quest

No ski goggles?

Not being a gamer, I didn’t understand that last panel. Thanks to all here who filled me in.

Off topic:

This episode is perfect in every way. Just saying.

On a cold winter day, Sunny knows how to stay warm:

Yay – the man to the rescue! And his armor is proof against all comers because his heart is pure and he is in the service of good!

A quick update on Conan; he’s feeling HUNGRY today! :) Thanks for all the good wishes, purrs, and bumps – I’m sure they helped him get through this first week. I hope the next treatment will be a bit easier on him, since it will be given over a few days instead of all at once.

If The Man’s jacket was orange he’d look like a Traffic Safety Cone.

403 comments and counting! Is this a new record?

It’s taken me all day to wonder if “Guards Against Insanity” on the chart sounds suspiciously like “Cards Against Humanity” – especially coupled with the modifier points. Hmmm…maybe it’s just me.

BCN is just full of panels that I want to turn into FB profile pics. Today’s is the middle panel (although I really, really want to turn the one with Elvis feeling personally attacked by Lupin’s comment about shelves into an appropriate response for comment sections…)
