As adorable as all the theater is — I really am loving all the improv! and Sophie’s breakthrough! — I have a hankering for a bit of tussle … maybe something involving tiny folding chairs …
Panel 1: I want so much to cuddle Lupin! He’s so adorable in that cringe with his head the size of his body. Panel 3: my heart breaks for Sophie! Oh poor kitty, will you slink away and have no friends?Panel 4: you go, girl! Way to take Goldie’s plot twist, be a good sport, and use your fabulous imagination!
Poor Lupin, thoroughly cowed, in the first panel, and the interplay between Goldie and Sophie – all wonderful. Georgia, thank you for continuing to lift our hearts in these trying times!
Setting: Ancient Egypt, where cats are worshiped as gods
Royal Magician: You summoned me, oh Queen Catshepsut?
Her Majesty: Yes, Sophititi. I need a symbol of my power throughout the realm.
Sophititi: I will create for you an amulet, in the shape of the Cat Ankh.
Queen Catshepsut: Do that, and summon the Royal Cook to create for me a dish containing eggs, and other delicacies scrambled together and cooked as one.
Sophititi: At once, your majesty. You shall have your amulet and your omelette as you command.
Besides all the puns elicited by the Existential Bread which were quite droll, I also loved how Sophie took Goldie’s lead and ran with it. Sophie is blossoming nicely.
Today is Name Yourself Day—it must be intended as a benefit from those who have forgotten their name, or like master Butterbur, “only remember it because people shout it at you all day.”
I love how this was handled. Sophia has always wanted to play with the other cats, but thought she didn’t know “how”. And she thought her partial blindness and weak paws would make it impossible. The cats’ explanation told her that she had control — “you can just work that into your storyline, make it part of your character”. Not only did she not know their wrestling was theater (and therefore art), she didn’t know she was allowed to create her own character with traits that were on her terms. She can be who she is, or make up anything she wants, she doesn’t have to change a thing. And the way she whipped up that outfit and made up the Existential Dread, she must have had them in mind for a long time but not where/how to use them. Brilliant, Georgia.

I’m not sure what’s cuter: Lupin all curled up or Sophie and Goldie building the story up further in true, “Yes, and…!” style!

A wrestling match when done right is an improv, made up on the fly by the participants and often adjusted based on the audience feedback.
As young Mr. Grace used to say, “you’ve all done very well!”

Sophie seizes the opportunity for a theatrical swoon! And it was time to move on in terms of the drama.

It’s easier for Sophie to “let go” behind the facade of another character. And she’s learning to play well with others. A true breakthrough!

Sophie is reacting better to the theft of her amulet than Lupin reacted to the theft of his tape recorder!

Brilliant improv move on Goldie’s part and brilliant uptake by Sophie! And Lupin so cute curled up but looking a bit outclassed by the ladies.

Without her amulet, the Existential Dread is doomed.

Someone needs to quickly sign to Lupin the changes in the plot.

I can’t wait to hear what Pretty Pucky and Good Cat Almighty have to say about this twist in the plot.

Maybe someone already commented on this, but I see that the ankh has little cat ears.

Alright – what is Rowdy Goldie Pepper going to do with The Dread’s power?

Also, Goldie basically just saved Lupin from said amulet effects, so, you know…that’s gonna be a thing.

Sophie’s amulet looks like an ankh with cat ears.She was reading about Egyptian Cats before the match…is this her homage to Bastet?

Now Lupin will take the amulet and use it against Goldie. At that point Tusslemania will end as Goldie will switch over to Aegean-Persian tussleing.

So Goldie writes a little more of the storyline—"the source of all your power"—and Sophie quickly rolls with it—"I grow weak without it!"
