Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 12, 2023

I think that warning might have come too late. They are seriously outnumbered. We need a coalition of the good and fury to take on these nasty, rude, mean lawn potatoes!

Thinking of you today, Lennie. We still remember Linda, and Ruth. Deep Peace to you today.

That . . . . that . . . . that is A LOT of moles! (Not quite a mole of moles, but pretty close!)

Excellent use of flower pots, and moles as far as the eye can see. Are we also seeing a tinge of the Northern Lights in that night sky?

I think that qualifies as a “horde”, although I’m sure there’s some eccentric term for a group of moles. A troop? A squadron? A march? Who decides this stuff?

A whole Mole army…

I have no idea how Georgia is going to get her usually happy ending out of this chaos!!! I mean, I trust that she will, but how ?will it be Jules, Baba, Wicket, the rest of the robber mice, or those animals from the shelter that we only met at the end of the Baba/Wicket story The Golden Mouse or someone completely unknown to us???? I do believe in Georgia, I do, I do. I do believe in Georgia , I do I do I do.

This is beautiful artwork and gets my Reuben vote. I’m hoping something in the next few days will be as beautiful with more plot or character or humor.

Dark Tower. Doo, doot do doo! How’s that for an old early electronic board game.

Our lawn feels like we have that many moles. I don’t mind them though. But I think we also have an equal number of voles….. that’s been a problem!! ( A costly problem!)

Holy moley!!!!

Oh, now the chickadees wake up.

Maybe Queen Mag knows a badger.

The mole family is here prepare yourselves

Continuing the Tremors vibe:

“There must be a million of ‘em!”

“Nope. Just one. Wait, no… there’s a million of them.”

Use the fork, Raccoon! Use the fork!

They were a little too small, could’ve used a few pounds

Claws’ sharp points, daggers renowned

She was awakened rudely ’neath starry skies

Shaken from her throne, sittin’ way up high

Way up firm and high

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy

Ground all dug up in little mounds like levees

Workin’ on mysteries without any clues

Wonderin’ how the night moves

Tryin’ to make some front page breakin’ news

Workin’ on their night moves

In the summertime

Umm, in the sweet summertime

- Bob Seger – Night Moves

That is one mountain of mole hills!

At some point there will be serious consequences for all this mole-feasance!

Here’s a little fun fact about moles. [ Mole tunnels have rooms, including kitchens for storing earthworms to eat later.] I knew you all would love to read that fact. LOL.

While not quite a scientific mole, that is a lot of moles.

Holy Moley!!!

It’s past time to mash the lawn potatoes.

The trash pandas have been out-moled by the lawn potatoes.

It is clear where the verb molesting comes from…..

Am D&Dizing Montague as a Dwarf split class Battlemasster Fighter and Master Mind Rogue

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Very Good Pyramid Playing Field

Talpi Mole: Alright everyone, The Spud Chuckers will have their first scrimmage. Digby, you start digging the tunnel, Rollo, you aim for the goal hill that Digby digs. And Blocker, where’s Blocker?

Monty Mole: He had to help Burt-Ra’s crew with the grounds repair.

Talpi: That’s right. He’ll be along soon. But we need someone in goal for our practice.

Molvina: I think I know someone who can fill in.

Sometime Later

Blocker: Here I am. Sorry the grounds repair took so long.

Talpi: No problem. You go to the mole hill and tend goal.

Rollo: Not a moment too soon. I couldn’t get a single potato past that goalie.

Molvina: She did have an unfair advantage. Still, I wish she could join the team.

Talpi: Anyway, thanks for filling in!

Beatrixia: Any time.

We’re going to keep fighting. Is that CLEAR? We’re going to attack all night; we’re going to attack tomorrow morning. If we are not VICTORIOUS, let no Racoon come back alive!

From the personal journal of Queen Mag***

That is a lot more moles than we’ve seen previously! Disappointingly, only Montague has a cool outfit. Hopefully this battle proves to be a temporary setback and Queen Mag and the raccoons can return with reinforcements.

The moles in my yard aren’t nearly so cute.

OMC this is turning into the Battle of Helm’s Deep!

Those moles look downright angry.

I was going to alter this to fit the story arc, but the original is so powerful, I just couldn’t.

take it as it is, or use your imagination to change a bit here or there.

“We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender” WInston Churchill (of course).

Attack of the mole people!

Looks like the raccoons are about to turn the moles into molé .

Avagadro would be proud

The moles are getting out of hand. This has gone from a movement to a revolution!

I wonder if the right kind of toot would have driven the moles away. Of course, it would have driven the rest of the raccoons away, too.

It’s looking like an invasion!

Holy Crud!

A toot, just a toot? A toot is cute, but it’s time for a blast!

Every molecule of those moles means malice! Mayday, mayday!

This is like a Doctor Who episode.

Moles all the way down.

What is the collective noun for moles? ‘Cause we got ourselves a collection of ‘em.

I’m saving the WARNING TOOT panel for (credited) use on Mastodon.

I can’t stop laughing. I read the comic right after spending a couple of hours watching the new volcano in Iceland grow. Now I keep thinking moles are going to pop out any time now

Today on: Lawn Potatoe Farm !

We’ll see the production increase in acreage! … But, will it last?! – Stay Tuned! … :)

Dang, those moles come out in large numbers. Retreat!!!

(I’m sure someone must have said those words in this arc a dozen times already)

8^)

Can someone tell me when the previous Raccoon story arc was? I must not have followed it closely, as I don’t remember very much about them… Mea culpa

Holey Moley!

Local raccoons got into the trash here last night. One of them has a great sense of humor, ripped a smily face into the bag! :)

21 moles already and there are more still arriving. Can Mags and company play music and get them to dance the night away? Since there are moles in atoms (or is it the other way around), don’t believe them, they make up everything.

Oy! That’s a LOT of moles!

Jules, you are cleared in hot to the moles! We need air support yesterday!

A mole hill?

Georgia, tomorrow’s my BD, Friday’s Bastille Day. Do the raccoons like La Marseillaise?

They made a mountain out of a mole hill.

Mexicans could make a mole sauce out of them.

Wow!

Can I assume that Georgia is having mole trouble this summer? That mole captain is ferocious! Arrrgggh matey!

A group of moles is called a ‘labour’ – likely because of their hard-working nature, tunneling up to 200 metres a day.
