Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 22, 2021

Ears approaching!

Weak case so far, does she have more? (Does she need more in this court?)

That’s tellin’’em, Jules !

Is that Agatha hanggliding I the background? What is that girl up to?

OT

I want to see some of those BIG ADVENTURES!♥

Jules doesn’t work for the opossums, Magnet. What would they pay him in? There’s nothing he needs. Except possibly out of that jar.

What or who is that bouncing on and above the Great Boot in Panel 2?

I wish I could go back in time and have “I am a tiny pilot on big adventures” as my senior quote.

I don’t see any air holes in that jar lid. How much air does a July Bug need?

Then I have half-a-dozen spies on my screen door… ;)

Don’t spoil her paranoia with your logic, Jules!

Raccoon court should fail for lack of jurisdiction over July bugs. After all, they don’t care about petty (to them) disagreements between trash robbers.

I think someone said in past posts that Jules and Lupin are animals of adventure.

If you feel that it’s real I’m on trial

And I’m here in your prison

Like a coin in your mint

I am dented and I’m spent with high treason

Through a glass eye your throne

Is the one danger zone

Take me to the pilot for control

Take me to the pilot of your soul

Jules is a Master of the World, a Clipper of the Clouds who’s flown Around the World in 80 Days, he’s flown from Earth to the Moon, he’s flown Five Weeks in a balloon. Did ya get that, ya silly raccoon?

Kudo’s to Princess Magnet for her stylish skirt of ties! Way to show the swag in court, P.M.!

Is that the Golden Mouse of legend? Could someone please link back to that storyline?

whispers reverently The Golden Mouse approaches…

Agatha is up to something….

Am I the only one hearing Jules with the voice of Dr. Bombay from Bewitched?

The last panel reminds me of another episode when a tiny kitten appeared on the windowsill of the Big Pink House.

America: Sister Golden Hair

Well I flew around on Sunday, but I had to stop my quest

The trial started Monday, and I’m really in a mess!

I know nothing about this old war, all I want to do is fly,

And I assure you that I am not a spy!

…….

Someone coming to the rescue?

Agatha Golden Mouse surprise!

Looks like there might be hope yet

Another chance that I might fly,

I have been one careless pilot,

I’ve been flying too, too far,

But that doesn’t mean I’m taking part in war!

…….

Will you leave me at the trial, will you leave me in the jar?

Will you free me in a while, let me fly again so far?

Well I tried to explain, I don’t mind saying, I need an airplane!

What I want to know is how they captured him in the first place. As I recall that’s not an easy thing to do

Opossum.

Overture, curtain, lights

This is it, to Mag’s delight

Now, more perverse accusations will start

And trapped Jules will break your heart

Overture, curtain, lights

This is it, we’ll see who’s right

And oh, who’s full of it

On with the trial, this is it

Today, we’ll hope for “acquit”

On with the trial, this is it

- Mack David and Jerry Livingston – “This Is It”

I love the line, “I am a tiny pilot on big adventures!”

OT:

Jules looks like what teddy Roosevelt would look like if he was a bug and also in flight gear.

I can’t deny it.

Yes, I fly everywhere.

I’m not a spy.

I’m just a tiny pilot!

Feel me coming.

I’m knocking on the jar.

You know I am not spying.

It’s not against the law.

The point of no return.

And now you know the score.

And now you’re learning.

Who’s knockin’ on that glass jar!

Roger Glover / Ian Gillan / Ritchie Blackmore – Deep Purple “Knocking at Your Back Door”

OT: Back home…

It’s been done before, but I can’t resist that line: The Moody Blues I’m Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band

I’m just a-flying in the month of July,

Meeting so many people

I just want to fly free,

And while I’m traveling I do so many things

…….

A little bit of mischief,

What harm could there be?

And if you want to fight a war

Among your fellow creatures,

And you won’t tolerate each other, you know, don’t tell me

I’m a little pilot on big adventures!

…….

A million animals all live in this world

Only how to live together

We got to agree

A thousand miles can lead so many ways

Just to know where we’re flying

What a help it would be!

So if you want this world of yours

To turn all get along

And you can see exactly what to do

Please tell me!

I’m a little pilot on big adventures!

How can we understand

Raccoons and opossums who think they are right

But are really just fighting themselves

And when you see all the reporters

Reporting on what happens

We know the truth will out!

…….

Jules is the traveler who’s exploring July

Meeting cats, mice and others bridging the seas

I’m a little pilot on big adventures!

I’m a little pilot on big adventures!

I’m a little pilot on big adventures!

“A tiny pilot on big adventures”—adorable!

Tiny microphones in the first panel. And the little pad and pencil.

Are raccoon courts like kangaroo courts?

Not surprisingly, but I didn’t notice upon first reading, Jules is a lefty.♥

No, no, bugs aren’t spies. (Well, maybe a “fly on the wall” is.) Bugs are what spies use for spying. :-)

THE GOLDEN MOUSE! We are in the presence of greatness.

I’m worried that the jury will be swayed by her royal highness’ magnetic personality!

Right you are, Jules!

I love the guinea pig’s big pencil and pad! Also, OT: Bluebonnet update.

I suspect the Golden Mouse has snuck in. If you go back to 7/19, you’ll see everyone has a baseball card, er, I mean, press pass, except for Agatha. She has a playing card.

Robin, good news out of Australia! The spiders that try to kill you can have their venom used medicinally to help heart attack patients. The heart cells can be stimulated to not die off! Hurrah for Australian killer spiders!!!!!

…and now we need merch w/ “I’m a tiny pilot on big adventures!” STAT!

Okay, the bug is beginning to win me over…
