Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 14, 2022

A heist! Is this going to be a heist story? I love those!

Okay, probably not, but a great idea, Puck!

What are you hiding woman!?

Nothing like a heist to liven things up…… but did the Woman find something in those numbers to make her optimistic?

Poor, Elvis. Still stuck in the bedroom.

Is the plan to buy the house doomed, or will The Woman’s “other way” succeed? Answers on a postcard, please.

Small down payment negotiated with the foundation?

Have the house declared a historical site?

I’m baffled.

So, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch gutted it’s 2 comics pages down ro a half page and they dropped BCN. It was the only paper remotely near me that carried it (I’m a comics collector). I’m not a happy camper. I know I can still read it here, but my collection won’t be the same without my favorite cats.

Househanger!

I like the way you think, Puck.

They can do it? How?

Cat burglars!

I like seeing where Georgia hides her name and date. Today: Panel 1.

So, Danny Ocean had two sisters? Looks like the gangs getting back together!

Excellent idea, Puck!

Bartholomew A. Cat would love to help. He’s quite the little thief. Albert’s Man has taken to calling him “John Robie”.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Cosmos Nursery

Thomios: Hi, Trev. We’re holding a Bon Voyage banquet in honor of the Japanese Delegation, and were wondering if the pizza trees were in bloom.

Trevor-Hotep: You’re in luck. The thin crust pizzas are ready for harvest, and I think some of the deep dish flowers are ready for picking as well. Of course, the cracker crust pizzas are always available.

Puckmosis: Great! Sue Chef is preparing toppings for us. Do you have any sauce plants to go with it?

Trevor-Hotep: Yep. There are tomato ready for picking, and some pesky pesto plants as well.

Beatrixia: Those pesto plants do have a bit of an attitude, don’t they?

Thomios: We have the makings of a great banquet. You can come, can’t you, Trev?

Trevor-Hotep: Wouldn’t miss it.

Puckmosis: Alright, let’s get picking!

Sometime Later

Beatrixia: I think I heard giggling in the background, but it sounded like more than four voices.

Puckmosis: I think the Procurers are introducing Nezumi-San to the best procurement places around.

A. Subscribe to a further away paper and have it mailed. B. The BCN books are numerous and available on Amazon.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: There Will Be A Reckoning.

Lupin’s still got his Hat of Adventure right there on the table, ready to Crime.

OT:

Another cliffhanger! Based on panel two, she definitely knows what she’s doing. I’m hoping this is more akin to actual wizardry than financial wizardry, but we shall find out.

perhaps the Robber Mice gang can pretend to be an entire infestation of rodents and make the sellers accept a smaller offer “just to get rid of it”.

The changes in expressions between panels 2 and 3! Especially Lupin’s. And Puck appears to be clutching his mic in both paws in the last panel.

Elvis’s 11?

Hmm kitty heist.

With cat-like tread upon our foes we steal

Silently, not on the raging sea

No sound at all, you never hear a purr

A fly’s foot fall would be distinctly heard! (with apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan)

Sorry to disappoint you, Pucky, but you can’t pay for people dwellings with stolen ravioli.

So…Georgia’s Eleven, then? If you count all the cats, I’m pretty sure you’d get eleven altogether…

“Everyone, face-down on the floor! I have a cat and I’m not afraid to use it!”

That’s the way my retirement plans are working. I can just about afford to live in the wonderful Santa Barbara I remember – in 1972!

Author Jim Butcher has said that every writer wants to do at least one heist story. He did his, I did mine so I tend to agree. Maybe it’s time for Georgia’s. With two members of the board of the Quinn Foundation at the table, I doubt the Woman is planning much of a heist unless it involves a clever mortgage involving grants for historical houses, but the pets and the Robber Mice are all in.

Unless it’s a time travel heist …

Remember, no plan survives contact with reality.

All they need to do is find out where all of the money is hidden in the house. Everyone knows that is what “old people” do. So many stories about things hidden in the walls and attics.

We’ve only go one page here and two of them are so poorly drawn and not funny that they don’t count. Maybe we should start a Keep the Comics movement. God knows we need them these days!!

Maybe they can form a nonprofit organization to buy the house, as a historic restoration project.

Yes Puck! She is!

The entire housing market is a heist!

:^)

& The little kitty said, “I think I can!!!!”

The great bank robberies start at the top and are legal.

Slick signature and date, Georgia.

Puck seems to be down for a heist, lol

Pucky is covering up the mic as he whispers. Hahaha

I keep thinking “The plans of cats and men often go awry”

I don’t know, Puck. It’s kind of hard to steal a house.
