Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 05, 2021

Sounds like good lab techs…

“The slingshots and arrows of out (rageous) fortune.”

Natasha, if you were bored enough to be doing one-armed pushups for entertainment, you guys were LONG overdue to get out of there!

Was the slingshot before or after ingests said pills?

Looks like the pills are what they are shooting with the rubber band.

The pills increased their intelligence by how they didn’t take them?

Hmmm. That’s a convenient little button over there on the wall. It appears to open the lids of the cages! Think of the possibilities!

“What are we gonna do tonight, Natasha?”

“The same thing we do every night, Violet, try to break our slingshot record!”

Have you posted your 12th October cards?

OT: Looking for a Hero

Say, NO, to drugs…then sling shot them, across the room!

I love the little hospital gowns.

Hospital gowns are awful. We never had enough of the telemetry gowns (snaps on the shoulders and pocket mid-chest). Sometimes we gave them scrubs because they had a chest pocket.

Natasha and Violet, such a lively duo!

Fleetwood Mac: Landslide

I took those pills, shot them around

Ran a maze without a sound

And I decided right there I would shoot all those pills

’Til an escape plan could be found.

…….

(Chorus) Well, I’m not afraid of changing, cause I’m

Looking for a life that’s new,

Each day we get bolder

Mice get older

I’m getting older, too

I’m getting older, too.

…….

To be free to go my way, I would love

To see the blue ski up above

To hunt for and take cheese is what I want

Before another season goes by.

…….

(Chorus)

…….

I’ll find a way out of the maze

I don’t care how many days

If you see my absence

In an empty cage

You know I’ll never be found

You know I’ll never be found!

I wonder how regular the newspaper deliveries were?

Ah, the mischief one can get up to when one is bored!

No effect on the validty of the study, as the human subjects likely did the same. The slingshot effect. Aka displacebo

One pill makes you happy

And one pill makes you smart

Or maybe you can employ them

In helping you to depart

Without malice

Shoot them at the wall

And if you go chasing gouda

And you know you’re bored with it all

Tell ’em a hankering for your freedom

Has given you the call

Shoot softgels

Launch them, launch them all

When the men in the lab coats

Come in and tell you where to go

And you’ve just had it with the same old

So your mind is moving slow

Slingshot practice

So you can go

When logic and proportion

Have fallen sloppy dead

And Violet takes to running backwards

And Natasha’s seeing red

Remember what the lab mice said

“Plan ahead. Leave instead. Shed biomed.”

Grace Slick – White Rabbit – Jefferson Airplane

Has no one noticed that the being opening the cages and holding the pill jar has human hands but what looks like a cat’s head?

The first time I saw the scientist I thought they had a cat mask on or were an anthropomorphic cat.

Panel five — “GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL”

Panel six – exercise montage resumes. Natasha alternates one arm pull-ups then sprints against rubber-band resistance while theme from Rocky plays.

Just a button to open the cages? Well, good thing this is Grimtech Labs and not the Umbrella Corporation. Elsewise you’d need to find four chess pieces and use them to recreate some obscure gambit just to get into the break room!

I’ve been working from home for too long. It took me a minute to realize the lab tech had been drawn with a beard, and not with a mask.

In unrelated news, all concerned parties have bowed to the inevitable and the Boy, the Girlfriend, and the Girl are all now living with us full time. They moved out of their apartment over this past weekend. I have informed them that they have 38 days to do something about all their detritus in the garage … so that I can get to the Christmas boxes … and retrieve my elf hat!

That’s going to mess up the results.

" … take over the world!"

OT Sorta: I was looking at the October page of the BCN calendar last night when I realized the character on the arcade game is Puck, which would make the game a Puck-man game. Only took me four days lol.

Or maybe they did nothing at all, just there to see if you thought they were doing something.

2 pills. 2 mice. and assume each mouse eats 1 pill?

“We have target on visual”

Those are very talented mice.

OMC, they are wearing little hospital gowns, so cute!

Most mornings I need a cup of tea to recover from the cuteness overload of BCN.

Natasha doing the obligatory one-armed (-pawed?) push-ups…prison movie staple!

“Ready… Aim… Fire!”
