Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 24, 2020

Yay, the dogcodile got home safely to enjoy family and ice cream!

Also, Mags’ chickadees snoozing in their cans are adorable.

Love every brushstroke of this! So beautiful and sweet.

Guess she’s not going to see Old Mag. Looks like she doesn’t want to attract the raccoon’s attention.

Oh, those possumlings are ADORABLE!

Possums!♥

Opossums enjoying Ice Cream. Raccoons working on a bit of sleep. But what is the frog doing?!? Is he kicking back and having a Midnight Feast with Pollen Tea?

Love that big ol’ wooly worm in panel 2, at least that’s what it looks like to me. If it is a wooly worm, he’s forecasting a pretty bad winter.

For some must watch while some must sleep.So runs the world away.

I think the theme music here must be Patsy Cline’s ‘s "Walkin’ After Midnight."

Oooo the Wild Lands! This must be where the wild things are! :D

Agnes did not know that she was in for a wild ride!!

I LOVE the possums in love! And Babba is so beautiful when she’s happy.

awwwwww possums!

By the light… of the silvery moon…

I see a possum family out for ice cream. One possum kitten seems to be wearing a cowboy hat and I spy a little crown behind Mama’s ear while they enjoy their cones! A young princess possum? Am I seeing things?

The woolly worm seems to be signaling a cold winter. An unexpected sighting.

Eh? What’s going on and where’s she going to?

If the fireflies start wearing cute outfits.. I’m out of here!

I had turned the two front facing opossums into Donald Duck, or perhaps a platypus, because they look like they have bills on their faces. Now I realize they have teeny tiny ice cream cones. !!!! Of course, I should have realized it would be mean for only Mom and Dad to get ice cream.

Baba Mouse toe beans!

Ahhh, look at Mr. and Mrs. Dogcodiles’ tails. ♥

Wild things, you make my heart sing

You make everything groovy, wild things

Wild things, I think I love you

But I wanna know for sure

Come on and bask in moonlight

I love you

Wild things, you make the night sing

You make everything groovy, wild things

Wild things, I think you move me

But I wanna know for sure

Come on and rule the night

You move me

Wild things, you make the night swing

You make everything groovy, wild things

Wild things, you are my everything

Happy little possums with ice cream cones!!! :D

the bebe possums

Baba Mouse and Agnes are heading towards the undiscovered country … a place Georgia has never before taken us! I can’t wait to see what comes next – to find out what her errand is, and who she’s going to find (and who she will be returning).

Georgia Dunn, thank you so much for all that you do, and especially this lovely night-time journey!

And the stars are still artistically shining right through the moon!

Huh. So many places Baba could be going.

Georgia, your art is always great, however, your outdoor renditions are incredible. Each time I look at it, there is more detail that I had not seen before. Please consider making some of this art available for purchase.

Baba Mouse – stealth agent.

This is some serious effort and art, time consuming no doubt!

possums with ice cream cones!

I’m picking up good vibrations …

The last panel with the opossums is priceless!

I thought Baba Mouse found a baby possum in the barnyard and returned it to its parents, who have so many babies they might not have noticed its absence yet—her bindle looks empty in the last panel. Or at least less strained at the bottom. Maybe a meeting with the raccoons on the way home?

Glad to see the Possums have all their little ones; I was concerned she might have been returning a lost child.

So wild.

Oh dear, what have we here? Frog, raccoons and opossums…and deeper into the woods maybe?

Every Panel Tells a Story. So beautiful, too!

Perfect comic for my birthday, it has everything I love! A nighttime quest under the stars and moon in midsummer and a peek at all who revel in the night! Georgia Dunn, if you ever sell your original strips, this would be my choice!

Also known as “The Land That Beatrix Potter Forgot”

I wonder what ice cream flavors the possums are enjoying?

This storyline just keeps getting better!

Today is Fairy Day. Just what sort of fairy is not specified—and “fairy” has become a portmanteau of enormous proportions, although the definition of “portmanteau word” does not exactly apply.

First, we have the Fae, both gentle and un. Then we have the various derivatives and confusing cognates derived therefrom, with abundant cultural appropriations from just about everywhere and everywhen. Next, we have the complicated conundrum of alternate sexual orientation. (Which also includes, apparently, “none of the above,” and is still in a state of flux. Reminds me of a stew made to clean out the pantry—you’re not quite sure what’s in there, but you can be sure it’s in there …)

I have a friend, one of the best human beings I’ve ever known, who recently “came out.” (If that’s the current term. If not, fill in the blank.) When he rattled off the string of terms for his identity, there was a full minute of silence while I attempted to make sense of it. Giving up, I said, “Well, just don’t do it in the street and frighten the horses and children—especially the horses.” He was, of course expecting something of the sort, because he knew it made little difference to me. What did make a small difference is the reason he waited so long: He knew his father would not understand, and waited until he had passed away. Such love and consideration is a credit to any human being, and only one of the many reasons this human being is my deeply respected friend.

Frankly, I have no more than a passing, casual interest at most in anyone’s sexual orientation. It’s none of my business: “That, and a buck and a half, might get you a mediocre cup of coffee. Just don’t frighten the horses …”

So whatever you are, whether real or mythical, may all you meet be the gentle Fae.

Love just about everything about this strip, but what got me the most was the sweet possum family having ice cream cones! Possums are not given the credit they deserve for eating ticks and other insect pests!

Adorable.

Is the frog holding a tiny crown? Is he possibly a cursed prince in frog clothing?

It’s not so wild the frogs and tlacuaches don’t wear city clothes.

Is that a peep toad? Must be taking a break between sets…

Anyone missing some baby possums? Check in with Fargo over on Tavicat

Panel 3….be vewy quiet.

I’m so happy to see Baba Mouse back again!

Are the wild lands where the cardboard got released into?

From Joe Jackson: Steppin’ Out

Now

The the crescent moon shines with a bit of light

And revels in the flickers of the stars that shine

On an evening that’s so fine

You won’t believe your eyes!

…….

We

Both walk together and greet all our friends

From tiny frog the queen racoon,

We say hello,

Where we headed? We don’t know

But can’t wait to get there!

We are, steppin’ out

Into the night

Into the light

Me and Baba, steppin’ out

Into the night

Into the light

…….

We

Are traveling and well upon our way

We’ll leave the cares of the day behind

Don’t you wonder what we’ll find

Steppin’ out tonight

…….

Agnes

All dressed in her pink suit all dressed to go

As Baba goes on her way with a great big smile

We’ll be there in just a while

Wonder where we’ll go?

…….

We are, steppin’ out

Into the night

Into the light

Me and Baba, steppin’ out

Into the night

Into the light!

Dear Georgia, can you please update the “In the news” portion of the “About the Reporters” section? I can’t keep track of all the new characters from Farther Out and I want to. Thanks.

Yaaaay. Snuffle snuffle.

BTW, I am still perpetually amazed by Georgia’s art. To do what she does with water colors is absolutely stunning.

I love every little bit of today’s strip! Each one is a masterpiece!

See the third panel, see how Baba has her toe to her lips to sush Agnes. She knows you can’t trust vile racoons. She knows it was they who started the fight with the possums.

Possums! That’a new twist.

wonder if Agnus is going off to her final journey. She is very old and maybe happy to go to the big catnip field in the sky

♫ “After midnight, Baba shakes her tambourine

After midnight, it’s all gonna be peaches and cream

She’s gonna cause talk and suspicion;

She’s gonna give an exhibition

We’re gonna find out what it is all about

After midnight, she’s gonna let it all hang down”♫

I bet that wooly bear caterpillar is a relative of the one Tommy interviewed back in July 2016!http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/an-interview-with-the-july-bug/

Happy Gotcha day to Lupin. <3.

Every time I think things can’t get cuter you add something like baby possums eating ice cream <3 <3 <3

What a Beautiful Scene! Cartoon nature fantasy. Wonderful, Georgia! Is that Agnes hitch-hiking on her bindle? Baba Mouse knows all the forest creatures.

Baba and Agnes are waving to the frog and he looks to be waving back.

Raccoons and possums and frogs – o my!

Really like the artwork for this one.
