Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 23, 2021

Great Boot appears to be fairly reasonable!

Clever Jules! I love the reporters reactions and all the gasps… I especially love the mouse Queen of Hearts admiring Jules!

Mouse ears on the table in Panel 1! Hmm…

If Mouse and Mag are meant to be the same “age,” Magnet’s probably in that “I’m an adult, take me seriously!” stage of the late teens/early twenties. Still learning how to REALLY Adult, and in her case, learning how to be a good leader. Looks like she may have jumped the gun on accusing Jules of being up to something here…but Jules being the trickster, maybe not?

Is that Agatha landing a Queen of Hearts hang glider?

I get the feeling that Princess Magnet is trying to show off and impress everybody – especially daddy!

She may not take being one-upped very well.

There may be justice in this court after all!

Love the collective gasp.

Besides, even if there were a no-fly zone, it wouldn’t apply to July bugs. Hence the name. Duh.

I think Jules might be the July Bug equivalent of JAG attorney Harmon Rabb Jr.

Why delayed gasp?

Ok, here I am sitting on the couch, sing it with me…

Me and my Shadow

Kang and Cole and Nyssa too.

Ok, wonderful night!

Okay, but how close to the ground can you fly before it ceases being sky? (I’m not playing devil’s advocate; I’m just semantically curious. The devil doesn’t need a lawyer—I hear he doesn’t pay his bills and forces you to sue him to get the fees he owes—and I would never represent him.)♥

If your body doesn’t touch the ground, and you aren’t jumping, you’re flying

I almost feel sorry for the over confident Princess here. Almost.

Lets see: does Mag become enraged and go against her father the King? In the meantime I suspect Agatha is going to facilitate a “jailbreak” (Cue the classic song by Irish rockers Thin Lizzy)! This is a really fun arc to follow!

Delayed Gasp! I can’t help it, this story line is adorable! And those ears!!

Not within the jump and nab radius of land creatures.

Oh dear, now the prosecution is sulking.

One of the reasons I love this strip – the unexpected details, the little extras – “DELAYED GASP!”

And now a collective laugh at panel 3

I wonder which happens first — Jules is exonerated by the raccoon court or Agatha effects a daring rescue!

OT

The sky is, Switzerland, if you Believe!

Where’s Biskits?

I wonder if we are about to see a breakout and escape worthy of Mission Impossible? Could it be that our friend the Hedge-Hog is in on it and the delayed gasp was a signal to a Queen of Hearts who cannot see the gallery? Hmmm?

Tune in tomorrow, same Hedge-Hog time, same Hedge-Hog stip…I just like saying Hedge-Hog.

It’s the time of the season

When Jules flies high

In this time, let him live real easy

Untouched by raccoons’ grabby hands

To buzz in the moonlight and never land

To show you every one

There’s no time in the season for judging

- R. Argent, Time of the Season – The Zombies

>GASP!<

OOOOOOOHHHHHHH SNAPPPPPPP

I thought Clover was supposed to be an objective observer, but he sure looks delighted with Jules’s defense. Can’t blame him; it’s a beautiful piece of logic.

Gavel bang times 2.

“Order in the yard! Order in the yard!”

To be honest I don’t understand many of the story arcs in bcs. I think Its because I can never remember anybody’s names so I never know what’s going on. I just read it every day because I like the art and the July bug.

Now I have Juice Newton’s Queen of Hearts running through my head…

That Queen of Hearts card is proving mighty useful…

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Elvis-Anum: It’s been awhile since that pesky Jules has been around.

Beatrixia: I think he’s off time traveling exploring another July. Actually, I kind of miss him.

Elvis-Anum: Don’t worry. He’ll be back when August rolls around. At least I get to keep my desk straightened for now.

Enter white streak knocking over Elvis’s things.

Elvis-Anum: Lupinium, you goof! You’re as bad as Jules.

Lupinium: Sorry about that. Let me help you clean up.

Sometime later

Beatrixia: Well, you have to admit Lupinium did a good job straightening up your desk.

Elvis-Anum: Now maybe I’ll have a straightened desk for awhile.

Enter dark streak knocking over Elvis’s things.

Elvis-Anum: Puckmosis! This is a fine time to have the Zoomies!

Puckmosis: Oops, sorry about that. I’ll help you straighten up.

Elvis-Anum: Fine! Then I’m going to Thomios, have a cup of tea and a blueberry scone, and taking a long nap!

The DMZ in the sky.

I hope Natasha has texted the other Robber Mice that they need to come NOW. They must see these archival images of St. Agatha, the Golden Mouse.

Ah, the hard lesson that not everything (and everyone) is about YOU.

OT: Bluebonnet update.

I love that delayed gasp.

OT: Opinions sought

Well … Great Boot seems to have a Vito Corleone vibe to him! … :)

OT: Me

Take my love, take my land

Take me where I cannot stand

I don’t care cause I’m still free

You can’t take the sky from me

Jules had her there.

So she overthrew her father so as to claim control of the sky as well..

And what’s up with the Golden Mouse playing card? Is it really a playing card or is the Golden Mouse disguising herself as the queen of hearts. Hope it doesn’t really smart.

The delayed gasp cracks me up.

wait, is that the white mouse of legend? (forgot the title and name of her).

Smart.

Rereading this after some time… hadn’t thought about it before, but can anyone tell what His Eminence, the Great Boot, is actually sitting on?

It’s black like a tire, but it’s the wrong shape.
