Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 05, 2020

Maybe Goldie is the culprit

Aww. That look of pure kitten innocence on Lupin’s face. Those huge kitty cat eyes.

How can you doubt the big sad eyes and the pant leg cling?! #IbelieveLupin

…this time. Next time will be evaluated as an independent incident.

I believe you, Lupin! You may be mischievous, but you have a history of “owning it.”

The cat is always innocent, even when he’s guilty

Oh, Lupin, you and your unbelievable stories. Like last year, when you kept going on and on about that large orange cat—oh, wait…

Who ya gonna call?

AWWWWWWWW!

Those eyes… Lupin MUST be innocent!!!

Could those two finally make peace over this? Personally, if I were Goldie, I wouldn’t bother. Lupin is such a jerk to her.

I wonder if Pawy Mewson is available for the defense?

Goldie to the rescue!!

Felicity predicted yesterday that Goldie would prove Lupin’s innocence! The Innocence Project, for cats!

The problem with having a reputation is that sometimes you get the credit (read: blame) without having the fun of actually having committed the crime in question.

What is the evidence against Lupin? Incriminating paw prints? Seen fleeing from the scene immediately after the crash? DNA on the sherds?

Until we are told, we should consider him innocent.

And I have a sinking feeling that, instead of justice, we are going to be fobbed off with a fudge. Goldie will prove Lupin astonishingly innocent, and we will be expected to pretend that this absolves her of the requirement to apologise for stealing his recorder. And there will be sentimental slush all round.

Ah the old puppy eyes trick.

What Lupin essentially means with his puppy eyes statement is that : “I don’t owlvase break things. Ya owl should stop blaming me for owl things broken.”

Lupin, turn around. Salvation may be an honest pleading away.

I do not think Goldie was involved, I think she has been sleeping through the whole fiasco but she might be just the one cat who believes that Lupin is innocent until proven to be guilty. Looks like a Ben Matlock kind of mystery with Goldie about to expose the real culprit!

Wow, how can I not believe those big innocent eyes! Goldie sleeping in the last panel is a clever introduction into Investigation of the Crashing Owl…..Our modern day Maltese Falcon ( without the gem encrusted bird). An outraged Elvis makes me giggle. A mystery to be solved leaves me breathless!

Another case for that famous detective Goldie. Could this be the event that finally brings peace between her and Lupin?

Lupin clinging toes!

Could this be the great reconciliation….?

poor lupin

I haven’t been reading BCN for very long, but I was just reading some of the older BCN comics and found out that Lupin is deaf. If anyone knows, could you please tell me when it was told in the strip that Lupin is deaf for the very first time, because I am keen to know.

The eyes!! He really IS innocent. Did Goldie do it? Or is she going to prove his innocence……

I find myself really believing Lupin. He usually takes such glee in his misdeeds.

Well I think it will be Goldie to the rescue, solving the crime, and Lupin and Goldie taking the first steps towards becoming friends

Here’s a little song Bobby wrote

You might want to sing it note for note

Don’t worry, be happy

In every life we have some trouble

But when you worry, you make it double

Don’t worry, be happy

Don’t worry, be happy now

don’t worry

(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) be happy

(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don’t worry, be happy (repeat twice more)

Ain’t got no smile upon your face

’Cause someone naughty broke your vase

Don’t worry, be happy

You may have realized much too late

Having nice things just ain’t your fate

Don’t worry, be happy

Oh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh don’t worry, be happy

(Here I give you Pucky’s number, when you worry, call him, he make you happy, don’t worry, be happy)

Don’t worry, be happy

Was quite the crash, all over the tile

No one’s taking the blame meanwhile

Don’t worry, be happy

’Cause when you worry your face will frown

And that will bring everybody down

So don’t worry, be happy

[Robert McFerrin Jr. – Don’t Worry Be Happy]

I knew it! I knew cats could artificially enlarge their eyes to the size of half dollar coins when they want to! Panel two is proof!

[police sirens wail in the background]

♪"I can’t get on the table

Cat, I really didn’t do it

I can’t get on the table

Cat, honest I didn’t do it

[police sirens]

I wish that Puck believed me …"♫

[Voice of the Woman in the background: “Lupin get off the table!”]

(Indiana Wants Me written by R. Dean Taylor)

Yay! I knew this was going to be turn, just didn’t want to spoil the lead up!

Poor, pitiful Lupin! So distressed… #teamlupin

Think about it, Elvis and Puck—that Lupin’s got a past history for it is only circumstantial evidence at best. You don’t have any real evidence that Lupin was even involved, just the assumption that he was because Lupin. Even in past instances where it WAS Lupin’s fault, there was usually clear evidence proving it. Suspecting is one thing, but don’t go accusing until you’ve got that evidence.

He shouldn’t be on the table, in any case.

In british detective series, they would just call for the closed circuit tv at this point.

I believe in you, Lupin! I suspect the guilty party is Homo sapiens.

OT: DIL update

This story arc is reminding me of the one involving “Whose hairball?”

YES goldie-lupin friendship story arch squeeeeeeee!!!

also I will now give lupinl everything he desires due to his cute kitten eyes, I love them and I think that they are amazing.

My guess is that tomorrow Goldie is going to open her eyes and say, “I believe you”. This is partially based on a tweet on Georgia’s personal twitter page, though it didn’t give anything away what she posted makes me think this might be what happens. Also the last frame seems to be the perfect set up for that to happen.

Tricky story line because cats don’t “do” guilt. You can make a dog feel guilty for a vase that you broke (bad people do that). You can make a cat angry, even fearful, (bad people do that) but not guilty. I’m only willing to go as far as “uncomfortable” in disciplining cats. Every time the cat is where she should not be, the cat gets a spritz of the water bottle and a “No.” Most cats prefer a dry, quiet life and get the idea, as long as you are consistent. Eventually, “No” is enough. The trick is very few rules, consistently enforced.

This looks like the time to bury hatchets and engage the famous girl detective Goldie!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Tabith-Isis: Oh no! Look at all these red dots scattered across the floor! I just spent all day organizing and storing them!

Maat-Tilda: And my latest weaving is all torn. Who could have done this?

Elvis-Anum: Has anyone been running around working on a new routine? Like a Royal Jester?

Lupinium: No, I wasn’t in this room at all. Honest.

Beatrixia: I did see Ta-Natash around here. Anyone know where she is now?

Puckmosis: I think we all want to know!

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: I think we should go and pray for guidance in this matter. We can talk to the priests who are so wise and knowledgeable.

Lupinium: Do you mean?

The Queen: Yes. The Temple Owls!

Today is … Unmentionable …

Why? Because it’s National Underwear Day. Aren’t you glad you asked?

For those who still think the world is their oyster, I urge them to remember the slang definition of “oyster.” It’s National Oyster Day. HORK!!!

It is also Work Like a Dog Day, so all you working dogs go bark at your boss, and tell him/her/it to stop making messes for you to clean up. I was once “asked” to work like a dog to make someone else rich. My answer was that I had not spent years in college and twenty-odd getting to the top of my profession so I could do that. A few years later, my “position was eliminated”—for all of nine months before they started advertising for a replacement. I’ve gotten my revenge, having lived well ever since, and probably longer than if I’d remained there.

Finally, it is Green Peppers Day. I love peppers, green or otherwise. Wouldn’t you like to be a pepper, too?

Maybe the boy did it.

OOOHHH!!! I sense a bonding moment between Lupin and Goldie! How exciting! I bet she’s going to use her detective skills to exonerate Lupin and he’ll have to admit that maybe he appreciates that she was the only one who believed him and wasn’t pointing a paw at him as the culprit! Then they can finally become frenemies! YAY!!!

I can’t wait to see how the investigation proceeds, and Goldie uncovers clues! And what conclusions she’ll draw, etc.

Oh lupin! Of course I believe you,sweet good boy! Goldie will solve this case!

Round up the usual suspect, i.e. Lupin.

Hmm… foreshadowing.

Hmmn, it looks like Lupin needs a detective.

Leave it to Detective Goldie!

O.T. Swan Eaters Georgia posted on Swan Eaters "This is it, this is the hiatus! This is the last panel the original Swan Eaters readers have been holding on and waiting from since 2013.

On Friday I hope to post a quick sketch with these details to remind folks, but for now: We’re taking a brief break! New Swan Eaters strips will begin on October 2nd! I’ve been waiting almost seven years to finish this story, I can’t wait. I hope you will enjoy where we go next when we return on October 2nd. Watch this space for announcements, and our Twitter and Instagram (we are @Swaneaters, one word, on all three!)

Hang in there, Salem! It’ll all coming back SOON!"

I feel badly for Lupin. I am sure he is innocent. I believe he only breaks things most of the time, not all the time.

Guilty! That cat is guilty. Only Elvis is always innocent.

As I said in a reply yesterday, it’s more often guilty until proven innocent.

Private eye Goldie will come to the rescue.

Off topic: Is anybody else wishing that Zazzle (or Society 6) would put out BCN face masks? An Invisible Lupin mask? Mommy’s Little Pirate Ballerina face mask? Count Puckula (“But I’m the Prince of Darkness…”) face mask? Tommy face mask?

I was shocked to see today that Society 6 has apparently ended the BCN comforters (the page no longer exists), which makes me twice as happy that I ordered my “Reading Cats” comforter a couple months back.

#IbelieveLupin

OMC I love this episode so much! Lupin’s innocent eyes, everyone else’s wrong conclusions… except, of course, for supersleuth Goldie.

I believe him!

Gee…if only there was a girl detective in the house!

I just hope Old Mags isn’t the judge at Lupin’s trial. Please tell me Tabitha has a law degree!
