I love Elvis’ purple Easter suit. Would not have called purple as Elvis’ color, but hecc yeah, it sure works for him! Purple and gold, like royalty (well, he is a Siamese).
How appropriate that Humpty Dumpty and Lupin have identical ties and suits (not he ame suit patternm but color) as Lupin seems to pretending to be Humpty Dumpty.
That is because Humpty Dumpty was not an egg, cats. Humpty Dumpty was a cannon.
Either that or Humpty Dumpty was name of some UFO that was parked on a wall and it fells down. Me means who on earth would names anything something weird name as Humpty Dumpty?
I like that the other cats picture Lupin as Humpty Dumpty on the wall that runs from the Big Pink House to the Quinn Farm where Burt and Baba live. Meanwhile, Lupin decides to act it out on top of the old bookcase.
Panel 2: Iggy and The Boy are each holding onto a chair arm, giving equally rapt attention. Panel 4: Goldie’s beautiful dress, the copper color is so becoming on her. Panel 5: Rarest of all toe bean sightings, 4 paws of ‘em at once!
Lupinium: Well done, class. You are now officially advanced tumblers.
Kitten Ged: Will we get to do Thwump acrobatics as well?
Lupinium: All in good time, my kitty. All in good time. Now I understand Thomios and his crew has prepared an extra special breakfast for us. Omelets any way you want!
Kitten Akili: Can we crack the eggs ourselves?
Lupinium: You’ll have to ask Thomios.
Kitten Omari: Can we climb up to the roof and toss them down?
Lupinium: You’ve been talking to Ora Z, haven’t you.
Enter Chef Thomios
Thomios: Breakfast is ready, everyone! And afterwards you can roll gemstones on the palace lawn!
Given one shelf is completely clear, I think Ora Zella is responsible for a lot of books on the floor. Forget hammers, the only tools for repairing eggs are tape and glue, or maybe hopes and prayers.
Oh my! So much to see: Elvis panel 1 in his Easter finery purple suit and the fuzzy chick with bunny ears. OZ’s gasp of “no” in panel 2. Goldie’s eyes in the center panel, shooting arrows at Lupin, and of course, the boys wearing cards and Lupin’s suit with pocket square. The literary discussion in panel 4 (they do have valid points), Puck’s bowtie and Goldie’s dress, and finally, OZ in a Jackie O pink Chanel-like suit as her partner in destruction tries to enact falling off the wall!!
For those who have Instagram, there is a wonderful picture of Pucky Bear laying on Georgia’s batch of colored eggs, with the caption, “Pucky? Pucky, Why?” https://www.instagram.com/p/CqzS21Jr1X_/
It’s seemed to me that most childrens’ stories are meant to convey some life-lesson to help children be safe as they grow- but if that’s the case for Humpty Dumpty, the lesson escapes me. Maybe “don’t sit on walls, because horses make terrible doctors”?
Gorgeous strip, as usual! Still, I wish we could have seen Ora Zella’s Easter outfit; I bet it was adorable. She’s probably already destroyed it.
Did anyone get a new Easter outfit? I used to get one every year as a kid, and my Mom, an expert seamstress and tailor, continued the tradition well into my 30’s, often adding matching shoes and purse. I haven’t thought about getting a new Easter outfit in years.

Yes, spring was a bit rough on ol’ Humpty. But at least he had a great fall.

I am Dumpty as you are here, as you are me and we’re on the shelf together
See how they run like all the king’s men, see how horses try
I′m sighing
Sitting on the bookshelf, waiting for the Woman to come
Comfortable teal shirt, on a funny Sunday
Lupin, you been a naughty boy, you let her wave too long
I can hammer the egg,man, O-Z can hammer the egg,man
I’m not the king’s horse, goo-goo g’joob…

Like scaeva, I’m not a squee-er, but we have three panels of beans today, including Lupin the Egg’s teeny-tiny ones.

Ah yes, one of the nursery rhymes with so many interpretations I don’t know which is correct. At least Humpty Lupin is adorable!
