Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 19, 2021

Would one of those “press passes” be a Mickey Mantle rookie card?

The mouse reporter seems to be, “Playin’ with the Queen of Hearts!”

It looks like Hedgehog News and Beaver News are there. The others don’t seem to be displaying their logos.

“I got Bob Uecker! I must be in the front row.”

Rats, I got Joe Shlabotnik!

Niiice to ssee Sssnake newss among the invited presss.♥

I see a Golden Mouse descendant in the crowd! I wonder if they’re a direct ancestor of Alice and Agnes?

Looks like a tiny little picture of Georgia as the Queen of Hearts….

Snail news. Always late with the breaking story.

Looks like there’s Blue Jay News too!

So that’s where they all go! Now aren’t you sorry you blamed your mothers?

This whole arc is confusing to me

I can sees owl sorts of creatures has gathered.

What is a baseball card?

Love the Retro CN logo on the small television screen.

And the raccoon is holding a fishing rod because …?

Cutest Press Corps, that I’ve ever seen!

The plot thickens.

Can it get any cuter? This is just so much fun to read and look forward to!

I spot Beaver News, Hamster News, who else is there?

Agatha!

I don’t trust Breaking Blue Jay News. Too right-wing!

That queen of hears in the last panel kinda looks like Georgia Dunn!

Wait Burt … I like watching vintage TV ads.

Trade ya my Al Kaline for your Boog Powell!

DONT GIVE A RACCOON A GAVEL!

A well-rounded press corps. I wonder if any of those cards is a Rusty Staub from the Montreal Expos.

The Queen of Hearts looks like Georgia, & the baseball card looks like the Man! ♥♥♥♥♥

Well, if any of them are collectable, then I’d say it pays off for all of you press folk.

Georgia is the Queen of Hearts!

Come and read Georgia’s tale about a bug named Jules

A busy june bug, flyin crazy without rules

And then one day he was buzzin’ some raccoons

When Mag jarred him at a time most inopportune

Mason, that is. Glass cage. Indignity.

Well the first thing you know ol’ Jules can fly nowhere

Angus told Mouse she has to get him outta there

Said, & she agreed, “He’d do the same for you & me”

So Mouse got her press pass (a card of Yastrzemski)

Baseball, that is. Red Sox. Hall of Fame.

Well, stay tuned to see if Jules’ friends can save his skin

And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin’ in

You’re all invited back next time for more of this story

To enjoy a heapin’ helpin’ of Georgia’s creativity

Brilliant, she is. Casts a spell. Knocks your socks off.

Y’all come back now, y’hear?

(The Ballad of Jed Clampett – lyrics by Paul Henning)

Would expect nothing less from trash bandits.

Fourth panel, bottom right, Queen of hearts, looks like a self portrait, Georgia Dunn.

Performed by Juice Newton and others: Queen of Hearts

Raccoon Court, I’m a-waiting for the trial to begin

Hoping justice will be served and Jules will go free

Press corps, we’ve all got our baseball card passes,

Except for one golden mouse

Does she have a trick up her sleeve?

…….

Playing with the Queen of Hearts Agatha is really smart

I am sure she is nobody’s fool she’ll do what can for Jules

Looking on another time, thinking about the mice of crime

You do what you have to do, oh Justice thine aim be true!

Yes, Georgia, you are the Queen of Hearts in the land of BCN.

Anyone want to trade for a Joe Shlabotnik?

I thought literacy was big among raccoons.

When I was a kid [don’t want to count how many years ago] I never had any interest in baseball cards. But I do remember collecting and trading Beatle cards. I am surprised to read that they may be worth some money now, and annoyed that I got rid of them when the fad ended.

The Beatles (Mostly George Harrison): Blue Jay Way

There’s a trial starts today,

We don’t know if it will go Jules’ way

Mouse wonders what she should do,

Are the charges really true?

…….

Jules, just stay strong

Jules, don’t worry, just stay strong,

The Orb is on your side.

…….

The raccoons and ’possums had a war,

And created their own law,

Tell the truth, don’t tell a lie,

Is Jules really a spy?

…….

Jules, just stay strong

Jules, don’t worry, just stay strong,

The Orb is on your side.

…….

Now we all love Mouse and Jules,

And Agatha, we love you, too,

Ah, Heck, even that princess racoon,

But Robin says that they’re all doomed!

…….

Jules, just stay strong

Jules, don’t worry, just stay strong,

The Orb is on your side.

I see a snail there too-does he represent snail mail?

I love the Background Story. thanks, Georgia.

Cool tale!! These press folks look like huge fans of donuts and pizza too!

Hedgehog News live on the scene.

Well, it’s better than nothing.

I can only hope the Blue Jay got a Toronto card.

Ah yes, where the vile raccoons make their propaganda look legit.

I should dig out one of my old (Post Cereal) baseball cards so I can attend a local raccoon news conference, should I hear of one. I also have some Beatles cards as well as James Bond cards, Post Cereal football cards and Batman cards (all from the 60s)!

Love the story to go with this Georgia. Especially love Snake Newssss

Since the Mouse News correspondent has a queen of hearts card, does this mean that she came late and they had to switch out to playing cards from old baseball cards or does this mean that she snuck in and is presenting her own card without having asked the raccoons. I like to think she got the special card because she’s just special

Gotta love that raised eyebrow in the last panel!

The squirrel’s little hat is so cute.

the last panel is THE BEST.

You should be happy Baba! Those baseball cards cost more than a million now!

I’m wondering if the racoon with the fishing pole is standing by in case July Bug is found guilty. (The executioner.) :o

Is that the golden mouse there holding queen of hearts?
