Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 27, 2023

I really have questions about who’s mowing wild fields, and one of those questions is “where can I find you to make you stop doing that”.

OK, that could explain a lot!

OT: Personal Update

Somebody has been messing with his head at the Wildlife Rehab Center. I have no idea who (Wicket) might have done so, and even if I did know or suspect, I wouldn’t name names (Wicket), and even if I did name a name (Wicket), the question remains, “WHY?”

Well, I’d be angry too if I had been clipped in the head with a lawnmower.

Comic strip concussion consequence? In humans, personality change can result from head trauma, and a common symptom of it is aggression.

So the moles all chose to follow Montague (whose very name connotes useless, divisive feuds) because he was “OutStanding in His Field” ???

Will this all be resolved when our swashbuckling lad’s literally mowed over by forbidden love for a raccoon, opossum or cat?

Someone needs to whack him again. That always works in stupid comedies.

There’s our mole with orange bandana in the last panel!

Oh poor mole! It sounds like he wants to live far from the mowers. But I bet even the “wildlands” get baled or bushhogged once a year at least, or they would rapidly turn into pioneer forest.

Whack a mole!

A bad haircut will make anyone a bit of a nasty mole.

I see a Pirate Mole! Quick, where’s Tommy?

Goldie needs to lower her mike a bit when Mustache Mole is talking.

Clipped on head with lawnmower? Of course ya knows this means war.

Now we’re getting somewhere! Detective Goldie is on the case!

I guess that lawn mower, knocked a few Molecules, loose…

Frances: [looking at Ruby Sue surprised] Oh my gosh, her eyes aren’t crossed anymore.

Eddie: That somethin’ ain’t it? She falls down a well, her eyes go crossed. She gets kicked by a mule. They go back to normal. I don’t know.

Maybe he needs another whack…

The king has a TBI. That explains much. He’s brain damaged.

Poor Monty!

Ah, the old “gets hit in the head now he thinks he’s Napoleon” plot…. or so we’re being led to believe!

OT:

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the You Call This a Pyramid? Pyramid

Beatrixia: This does look a bit lopsided, but it’s still a serviceable pyramid.

Iggy: There are some hieroglyphs above the entrance. Can you translate, Vi?

Violet-Ifa: They are in ancient language, but I think they say, “We did the best we could with what we had. Think you could you do any better?”

Iron Glove: Actually, I kind of understand their frustration.

Wally: Maybe we can learn some of their history.

Bea: I’ll check in the library when we get back.

Ora Z: Let’s go in and run around!

Lupinium: Hold on. We want to be careful when we come to an unexplored building.

Bea: Did I hear that right?

Meanwhile, at the Ceiling Can Be a Floor Culinary School

Thomios: I’ve really had a great time cooking with you, Uncle Floof.

Floofnet the Joyous: It’s been fun. Now I have a bit of time until the next semester.

Thomios: Why not come back with me to the palace kitchen?

Floof: I thought you’d never ask.

Here is where Tommy could really help, now that he knows a bit more about the situation.

Ah, an inciting incident. Perhaps the moles do deserve a homeland free of lawnmowers, if they could only share.

So that’s why little Napoleon wears a hat. I guess a partial lobotomy can alter one’s perspective.

Now I feel bad for the poor little mole. I wouldn’t appreciate getting clipped in the head with a mower either.

Maybe he has a funny haircut now.

Where is Florence Nightenmole when you need her?

Love the artwork

I feel like this is a little political statement.

Who can dig tunnels for miles and miles?

Who can take what’s in his way

And suddenly turn it all into piles?

Well, it’s you King and you should know it

With each rant at every bad haircut you show it

Dirt is all around

No need to waste it

You can have the town

Why don’t you take it?

One ‘bonk’ explains it after all

What a molevolent lawnmower that was. Even mole-violent. Stop Mole Cruelty! Lawnmowers are the vacuum cleaners of the outdoors.

.hummm……now it begins to take a turn…

Getting clipped in the head with a lawnmower would do it for me. I’d be rather annoyed too.

Is that why he’s wearing the hat? To cover up the bald spot that gave him?

Remember when you ran away

And the lawn mower wacked me in the head

And caused me to go beserk?

WELL,

You left me there and

Then the days got worse and worse

And now you see I´ve gone completely

out of my mind

AND

They´re coming to take me away,

Haha, they´re coming to take me away,

Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,

To the funny farm

Where life is beautiful all the time

And I´ll be happy to see

Those nice young moles

In their clean white coats

And they´re coming to take me AWAY,

HA HAAAA

You thought it was a joke,

and so you LAUGHED, YOU LAUGHED!

When I had said that mowing the field

Would make me flip my lid,

RIGHT?

You know you laughed.

I HEARD you laugh, you laughed

And laughed and laughed

And then you left,

But now you know I´m utterly mad

AND

They´re coming to take me away,

Haha, they´re coming to take me away,

Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,

To the happy home with trees and flowers

And chirping birds and basket weavers

Who sit and smile and

Twiddle their thumbs and toes

And they´re coming to take me away,

HAHAAAAAAAAA

I ate your food,

I cleaned your house,

And this is how you pay me back

For all my kind unselfish loving deeds

HUH?

Well, you just wait,

They´ll find you yet,

And when they do, they´ll put you in

the trash, you mangy mower,

AND

It could have been worse, at least it wasnt Bill Murray with explosives

O.T. — my friend

TBI. Makes sense.

So that’s why Montague wants to dominate the wildlands. Now to find out about the lawnmower incident.

Oh, mole claws!

It sounds like if Montague can get his brains unscrambled, this pointless war can end!

At least Montague only got clipped in the head…when one of my bros was in high school, he was mowing a vacant lot for the kids to play softball on, & he ran over a hidden nest of baby bunnies. Suffice it to say it wasn’t pretty. Only the one at the bottom of the pile survived (completely unscathed!), & he brought it home & kept it in a cage on the patio for a couple of months until it escaped one day & went back into the “Wild Lands” behind the house.

“Gee, eucalyptus.”

Hmmm, I wonder if Destry (sp?) has a white robo lawn mower cousin named Mobius Richard? I thought this was going to be a West Side Tragedy. Instead it is a Down East Revenge tail? Perhaps it is a Down East West Side Story? Marina! I just left my boat in Marina . . . When you’re a mole you’re a mole all the way from your first tasty grub til your last dyin’ day . . .

Business pitch: a mole barber shop that uses a lawnmower to give flat-tops!

So… A head injury, leading to megalomania?

(The fanon name “Mopoleon” is getting more and more appropriate!)

Sounds like Montague is a bit clipped in the head!

You have to watch out for those lawnmoleowers.

Hello! My name is Inimole Montague. You wrecked my haircut! Prepare to die!

Our baby kitten, Logan, came to us scalped. There was bare skin about an inch square on top of his head. Don’t know how it happened.
