Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 14, 2023

Is that…is that one of those stomp rocket things?

Queen Mags rounding up all the good stuff. Kinda like Dolly Madison saving the portraits from the White House eh? Somehow this is going to turn around. Soon I hope.

The kits are sweet.

OT: Tree Frogs.

How many kits, and do they have names? The ones in the soup cans must be Very Smol.

Oh no! Looks as if the moles got the baseball. And Mags’ throne is being toppled. And Mags is walking back towards the danger.

Is that part of a vacuum in the glass case? I’m a little confused about what they’re taking, except the grandkids, and the base all,, that I get, but the rest has got me scratching my head. I’m not as well versed as most of you are in ds9, pickard. Q.,etc so any help you could offer this ignorant fool would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

Oh look, the birds are helping out the raccoons too. Guess that makes sense considering that the moles toppled over the bird bath.

It looks like Queen Mag is going back to do battle with the moles. They should be afraid…very afraid!

Lots of kits.What makes a relic a relic?Again, just beautiful art.

If the moles attack enough of the local denizens, there will be no hope for them. Meanwhile, they are just obnoxious and begging to be put in their place (and that place isn’t where they think it is).

Why does this say Previously Recorded? What’s going on here that it’s previously recorded? This doesn’t bode well…

What is happening above Mag’s left shoulder in panel 1? It looks like the sky is holding one of the kits and putting it into the soup can.

As the Racoon Queen sent her family to the safety of, The Wild Lands, she turned and looked back. Her kingdom was now over run, her throne toppled, and the mole army were celebrating. “You will pay for threating my babies…” she said, through clinched teeth." I will get my kingdom and throne back. These moles don’t yet know whom they messed with!"

Raccoon toe beans! Squeeeee!

Mags I’d reminding me of Queen Boudicca vs the Romans but I hope the ending is different here!

I keep wanting to make snarky comments, but I’m too worried about everyone. D:

Okay, Georgia. What is the thing that looks like a balloon with a hose attached to it?

BoRH!! BoRH!! [BoCH but instead it’s a Raccoon!!! A cute lil fella!]

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Talpi Mole: Alright, team, today’s our first scrimmage with the Tater Tossers from Afar. Where are the lawn potatoes?

Townsend Mole: Right here, coach, all lined up in a row.

Talpi: I know who we have to thank for that. Thank you, Iggy.

Iggy: Any time.

Talpi: And now let the play begin!

Tater Tosser Goalie Spark: Oof! You’re supposed to roll the potatoes, not throw them at me!

Talpi: Sorry about that. We had a sub in who maybe needs to learn the rules a bit better. Right, don’t throw the taters, and for Cat’s sake don’t mash them.

Sub: Can we smash them after the game? Or roast them?

Talpi: No, just roll them to the goal hill.

Ora Z: But where’s the fun in that?

Blinded by moles’ might

Revved up like a deuce

Raccoons are running in the night

Blinded by affright

Revved up by such abuse

Li’l kits are running in the night

Madman moles are bummers

Mauraders in the summer, they are not sage diplomats

In the dumps with their dirt bumps

As their jerky leader bugs both raccoons and cats

With a boldness unlike mole-ness

Actin’ mean and colder

They flipped out with a rumblin’ sound

With this very unpleasin’

Seizin’ and wheezin’

The queen Mag’s throne has crashed to the ground

GrandMag’s throne has crashed to the ground

She’s not down, and she’ll never be tired

Raccoons are gonna make it through the night

- Bruce Springsteen – Blinded by the Light

Whatever is that green thingie in the fish tank?

OT: Kittens

The kittens are more and more active. They were 7 weeks old yesterday. They are eating well and are beginning to use the litter box. I woke up in the wee small hours to find that one of them was nubbling on my toes, and two others were munching on my fingers, HARD. After I shook them off, we reached a truce and all went back to sleep.

Mags is heading back in true herione fashion!! Maybe she has remembered that raccoons eat moles

Looks like they saved Great Boot’s crown, the baseball, and the vacuum hose Glamour Hammer found. Oh, Gutter has one of the lava lamps!

Love the colander “battle helmet!”

And as the others flee, Queen Mag turns to watch her kingdom vanish under the mole invasion. This would make a great movie scene!

Would a raccoon’s “bug-out bag” hold actual bugs?

OT: Mom says thanks…

Alright, moles, you asked for it. From the Bad Jokes Hall of Shame, a Conversation between Mrs. Malaprop and Lady Mondegreen!

Mrs. Malaprop: Have the moles really threatened the raccoon’s tertiary?

Lady Mondegreen: Yes, they were once, twice, three times afraidy. But the raccoons won’t go after Jason Waterfalls!

Mrs. Malaprop: Maybe the raccoons should send in a spy to learn the moles’ Nefertiti plans.

Lady Mondegreen: I heard they sent Lucy in Disguise, with diamonds.

Mrs. Malaprop: But I heard Lucy is feeling under the feather.

Lady Mondegreen: That’s true. The girl with colitis goes by.

Mrs. Malaprop: But I think it’ll all go well. Last night had a really Gouda dream.

Lady Mondegreen: Well, sweet dreams are made of cheese.

The Royal Procurers: Let’s take a trip to Punn State.

Makes me think in a roundabout way all the real-life refugee crisises we’re facing in the world today—a lot of them are caused by similar reasons as the raccoons here, y’know.

The moles are always beneath you, but NOTHING is beneath the moles!

Okay, I told someone that I would give a list of characters I’ve D&Dized So read or ignore as you . Some of them being I characterized by what they can do others by personality which why there are characters who can do magicFirst the main three: Elvis is a Lawful Neutral Oath of the Crown paladin with “The Crown” being The Woman and The Girl.Puck is a Life Domain ClericLupin is an Arcane Trickster Rogue part is obvious Arcane Trickster coming from his ability to become “invisible”

I’ll get to others later

I’m on the edge of my seat! Can’t wait to see where this storyline goes from here.

I’m so relieved. This morning I saw my neighbors’ Tuxedo who I hadn’t seen in weeks.

Delighted to be first in line! Your talent and attitude bring such pleasure to so many.

Umm. Is the RUMBLE the dumpster sinking into the ground??

Can’t forget the kits.

After a 3rd or 4th read, it finally hit me that they’re carrying the relics like the Ark of the Covenant was carried except using slats instead of poles and without the ornate lid. Where is our Indiana Lupin???

Belated Happy Birthday, Denny Wheeler!

Off Topic, sad

Ha! Fleeing to the Wild Lands will not save them from DOOM.

All signed up! So excited!!

Why are there so many moles? It’s like every mole in Rhode Island is there, plus a multitude bussed in from other states.

How Fabulous!
