Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 19, 2023

I’m loving Tommy’s PJs, Bea taking notes and how Goldie seems to be taking charge of the BPH crew. So the plan is for the Reporters to Deploy a Decoy to lure the Real Mccoy, perhaps they’ll use an irresistible Toy? Will Buzzy Mouse be sent on a top secret mission? Will Puck be able to hypnotize his adoring mole devotees?

A decoy broadcast? One’s imagination runs wild with the thought of that.

There’s Beatrix, dutifully taking the minutes of the meeting!

Deploy the sexy boy reporter the moles love. Puck, of course.

OT: Personal Update

Planting a story? No wonder Elvis and Lupin aren’t there. One would never do it and the other would never sell it.

Is Goldie suggesting the fake radio traffic trick to lure the moles to their doom?

OT -Martie

Will the cats sacrifice their journalistic integrity to further a group’s political goals?!

Oh no! It’s a slippery slope they’re walking. Just a short stroll from decoy reports to false news and propaganda. We NEED to be able to trust our news reports.

I suspect that she means, Puck! We saw how they all gathered in a group, to swoon over their favorite, Handsome House Panther!

Personal OT

Look at Beatrix being so busy! She looks like she barely reaches the tabletop. Is Goldie holding her up?

Tommy Toe Beans! Squeeeee!

Decoy broadcast eh. Ah yes of courses. A breaking mews of outer space alien astronuts attacking the grounds to takes over the world by overflowing them mole holes with alien waters! That’ll sends em unsufferable underhanded underground uncouths outta their little mole holes.

But Puck can’t go outside.

And the plot thickens. Like a good brown gravy…….simmering.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Artisans’ Studio

Puckmosis: You know, I’ve always had a secret hankering to do something artistic.

Adobe Style: It’s always nice to explore your inner creativity. What would you like to do?

Puck: I’ve always wanted to make pictures. Like draw a beautiful night sky with lots of stars in it.

Sophititi: You could paint it, or even make a collage with found objects like this one I made in college.

Puck: But I never took any classes. I don’t know where to begin.

Maat-Tilda: Let’s start at the very beginning. A very good place to start.

Puck: Could I have some of the jewels you use?

Tillie: Sure. We always seem to have more than enough. And I think I heard giggling in the background. Take a piece of watercolor papyrus and begin.

Puck: Thanks. I’ll start by painting a beautiful sky.

Soph: Then add some some beautiful jewels courtesy Fe-Anaro as stars.

Quite Awhile Later

Adobe Style: What a lovely collage. Now it needs a title.

Tillie: I know just the title:

Rock Star, by Puckmosis

I thought only the mole resistance watched BCN. I know we have seen them before, but I love Tommy’s pajamas!

Tommy toebeans, a decoy broadcast plan, cats in PJs, tiny kitten Beatrix taking notes… as Stefan used to say, this strip has it all.

What a violation of journalistic ethics. I mean seriously now, they are there to report the news, not influence events. This a good way to loose all credibility with the viewing public.

I’m kind of in love with Goldie and her take charge attitude.

Tabitha! This is a high-level meeting!

totally OT except raccoons but

Purrs, head boops and ankle support! I had to have emergency abdominal surgery and they slashed right through my poor belly button! But it turned out okay

Who is that far left?

Seems like a violation of journalist ethics. :)

The plot grows!!~!

Anybody else having trouble accessing Arcamax today? My phone keeps blocking me saying Arcamax does not use https and someone may be spying on the connection.

A decoy broadcast doesn’t have to be fake news, just something to draw the moles over to it. A lengthy speech by the Puck they adore could work and it wouldn’t be fake. Or they could ask Mona if moles have favorite music and play that. I wonder what music appeals to underground critters. All that comes to mind is “Yellow submarine” and that’s not really right.

Deploy a decoy, not the real McCoy. No Bones about it!

Okay, where are Lupin, Iggy and Elvis?

So are they having a sleepover or what? Tommy et al don’t live there but all are in PJ’s.

You don’t need to be a warrior to be a hero tommy. Bea proved that LAST TIME Wicket got up to this nonsense.

OMC the flamingo pajamas are adorable! I want some!

Sounds like they are going to announce a live, remote in-cat broadcast from Puck which will draw the attention of his mole fans. Maybe he could be autographing his book? I got tickets to the first ever Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game from my favorite morning DJ who was doing a a remote, live broadcast from a Hardees.

Happy “Talk Like a Pirate Day!” Mearrgh!

The power of the press!

That is not a bad idea. The moles could possibly fall for it.

In the last panel, I’m not sure if Bea is looking astonished or aghast.

I love Beatrix busily taking notes. So adorable.

Easy: play some conga music. Get everyone dancing in a conga line. Have Mona lead them to the corner where they dance in a circle until all are exhausted and collapsed in a laughing heap.

Tommy’s pajamas have flamingos on them!!

OT: My House Panther has run away

Bea is making notes for the minutes. Hmm…Goldie is suggesting disinformation.

But the question is, can Puck lie? And can he do it without blushing??

A decoy broadcast doesn’t have to be fake news. All it has to do is catch the attention of the moles and lure them over. Instead of news, maybe Puck could give a cooking show of tips on new ways to prepare earthworms and other kinds of mole food.

1) Love Tommy’s flamingo pjs. 2) Love Bea’s head poking over the table as she’s taking notes =)

The council of war begins.
