Can we play in the thresher? LOL Those boys ain’t right in the head. Meanwhile, our heroines are about to get right in to the thick of it. And I don’t mean they’re about to get yelled at by Malcolm! Now there was a man who had a way with words. I’m betting Baba would give them a worse tongue lashing right now though.
I don’t recognize the reporter standing between Tommy and Goldie. At first, I wondered if Agnes was wearing a wig as a disguise, but she’s on Tommy’s other side.
Baba Mouse clearly can’t leave the Raccoon Brain Trust unsupervised. Little Mag and Beatrix are now a couple of loose cannons … er, loose fire extinguishers?
I’m glad some of you identified Clover. I never would have guessed but now that you mention it seems pretty clear. Though with all that hair he/she must be a modern descendant. Hope we’ll be formally introduced.
Welcome to our continuing coverage of – DEATH IN THE FIELDS. “I’m your announcer, Marvin Red Fox, and we will be bringing you minute-by-minute coverage. A shout out to our fellow Canidae brothers and sisters, coyotes, and wolfs. And who knows, there might be a buffet for us after this is all over.
I look out and see all the other networks are here. BCN, Mice News, and is that Guinee-Pig news? But first, we are going to send this over to Jim Wolf at the whiteboard. Take it away, Jim.
Thanks, Marvin. This is Jim Wolf, and as you can see, the opposing forces are organizing and preparing for battle. Oh, what’s this? A big red fire extinguisher may have just rolled over a mole. Cut to camera 3. Can we see that again in super slow motion? Yes. You can see the surprised look on the little lawn-potatoes’ face as the extinguisher crushes him. Oh, that’s gonna sting tomorrow. Back to you, Marvin.
Thanks, Jim. We will be back to coverage after a word from our sponsor, Mystery-Meat Roadkill. If you’re eating roadkill and it’s still warm and good, it’s a Mystery.
or, it could be that Georgia has red-herringed me into thinking that by arranging the wig so it would seem to cover exactly the area on his face that is black.
the ears look like his, but no sign of those tell-tale fangs.
Aww! Young Mag’s little brothers are doing their best to distract Baba. And I Hope we get to see more of that long-haired guinea pig in the future, so cute!
…and don’t forget to ask us about our special. It was scraped up last night on Rural Rt. #109. Mystery-Meat Roadkill, where kits, pups, and whelps all eat for free. Sorry, no carryout.
And we’re back. This is Marvin Fox, and Jim Wolf has an update. What can you tell us about the thresher? Take it away, Jim…
Thanks, Marvin. While you were away, I got confirmation that Baba Mouse is not, repeat, not letting the kits play in the thresher. Though, I’m not sure if the call is going to hold. Yes. I think the umpire is coming onto the field with the call.
“After reviewing the tape – The Kits will not be playing in the Thresher. Timekeeper put 2:36 back on the clock.” (Sound of whistleblowing)
Well, there you have it, Marvin. We won’t be seeing threshed kit today.
So who is the new reporter between Tommy and Goldie? Iggy in disguise? A new guinea pig journalist? Or as Jim Hutton as Ellery Queen used to ask, or is it someone else? All 3 are legit possibilities. The pad and pencil are guinea pig trademarks but the ears don’t look right. Ellery would always solve the mystery (and answer the question) after a brief commercial break—and back in the mid 70s the breaks were much briefer than they are now. When will Georgia reveal the answer to just who this mystery reporter is? The suspense is killing me.
Are Beatrix and Magazine in the misdirected area which Puck announced? It makes sense that the other reporters would be there rather than in the true location of the coming battle.

No Tommy, Goldie, unnamed wigged cat, and mice ladies – there’s no reason for you to turn around and notice what’s happening behind you.

The look on Baba’s face in panel 2 … between the fangs and the eyes, it says it all!

The look of exertion on Beatrix’s face says that even with 2 little girls rolling it, that cannon – er, fire extinguisher- is heavy artillery!
arolarson Premium Member about 1 year ago
According to petMD.com, there are 9 breeds of long haired guinea pigs. So the mystery reporter could easily be a descendent of the original Clover.

Welcome to great strife
There’s no turning back
Moles can be rude creeps
They will see your planned behaviors
Allied to be wildland saviors
Wick and Monty want to rule the world
It’s their mad desire
They have no remorse
Most are on Mag’s side
Return to racoons peace and their treasures
War ain’t gonna last forever
Wick and Monty can’t ever rule the world

The average life span of a mole is 3 years, if Georgia draws this story line out about one more week, the whole problem will resolve itself naturally.
