Lupin: Our professional wrecking ball. And we love him for it! I love that he’s doing the Evil Knievel thumbs up bit. The universal sign that a male is not ok.
Well it’s only toppling a pile of books. A recent foster dog had a taste for fine literature. My wife couldn’t keep books on a low table without the dog eating them up. What a zest for knowledge!
Lupin is partner with the god of mischief, Loki himself.
Elvis is the cat of Odin , the father cat and the all-father. If only he would parlay with Huginn and Muninn, the all-father’s ravens.
Goldie, in service to Odinson, Thor , the god of hammers….no Thunder. Burt is also in service to the god of thunder (but he came for the hammers)
Puck is beloved by all but no more so than by Jörd , in Norse mythology, a giantess, mother of the deity Thor and mistress of the god Odin. Of course, in Marvel terms Freya was his mother….except recently in the comics Midgard it was further confirmed that the Goddess of the Earth, Gaea was Thor’s real mother, rather than the adoptive mother he’d known Freyja (Odin’s wife).
Puck is also kin to Balder the Brave , son of Odin and Frigg (Freyja in Marvel)
Looks a lot like when I carry too many books at once because I hate making round trips. Libraries are dangerous, man. Imagine if Lupin worked at a library instead of a news network, LOL.
The strip reminds me of the old story about two cops on their beat. Throughout their beat, it was quiet, until the rookie said; “Sarge, it’s been a quiet night, and we only have 10 more minutes on our beat.” The veteran groaned, for no sooner had the words left the rookie’s lips, there was a call about a barroom brawl in one of the more notorious bars in town. “Next time we have a ‘quiet night’ and our beat’s about to end, keep your mouth closed!”, growled the veteran as he flipped on the lights and siren.
Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Get with the times girl. That should have been an iPad that got knocked over, not books. Anybody who’s anybody doesn’t read paper books these days, they read everything on the phone, tablet or laptop, which is where I am reading this strip right now.
My cat George is good at toppling things. I have a stack of books by my bed and also usually have my iPad there at night. He has knocked the pile over more than once. I call him my bull in a china shop because he is always knocking things down. :)
Nope, nope. Stacks & piles of books here. Get my magazines on tablet only because nobody wants the paper ones and hate to throw them out. Course, I do have tones of books on kindle too. Readers will read no matter what the books are made out of.
I thought I posted that in their 2 am zoomies, my house panthers manage to knock several books from the bookshelves. Quite upsetting (in both senses) to the books’ arrangement.
I didn’t want to post in the big debate thread. I don’t understand why there has to be a war between those who prefer electronic books and those who prefer paper books. I encourage reading in whatever form works best for your eyes.
For me, the Kindle was like a miracle. I wrote this in my journal in January 2008 about my frustration in dealing with ocular myasthenia. “I just wish that I could still read. I miss reading most of all.”
Then, in October of that year, I took a chance and bought a first edition Kindle. I wrote this in my journal afterwards. “I spent most of yesterday reading instead of watching DVD’s. I can’t believe I’m actually reading books again. It’s like a miracle.” I knew I missed reading, but I didn’t realize how much until I was able to read again.
I still buy the paper BCN books because the Kindle editions are too hard to read on a Kindle, and the Kindle app no longer works on my ancient computer.

Fresh Water Cat: We’re really glad you could join us on this fishing run, Igs. This is an important one.
Iggy Shipwright: Glad to do it. Who are we catching fish for this time?
Salt Water Cat: There’s a big basketball tournament at the Owl Temple. Patrice Possum is creating an after game buffet.
Fresh: Right now the perch are running. Maybe we can catch some Perfect Perch.
Iggy: Could there be any Diem Carp?
Salty: Unlikely. But you never know. That’s part of why you have to seize the day to catch them.
Fresh: Ready to set sail?
Iggy: Let’s go!

If Lupin ever needs a new wrestling costume, he could be “The Big Bang”! He’d look fancy in black fabric and sequins (for stars).

What exactly did Lupin knock over:
Was it a single stack of books like a tower, or was it already just some books in a pile?
Or did he knock the books off of a shelf INTO a pile?
Inquiring minds want to know. :-)
