    Gutter, you’re a Raccoon after my own heart. The weird ones are the special ones. Anybody can fall for a “normal” girl.

    I think Sophie would REALLY admire those shoulder pads. They just need to be part of a story!

    “I mean, yeah, she’s all into recycling and repurposing trash and all that, but she’s a cat . . . a weird cat.”

    “I know, isn’t she perfect?”

    …this raises the question: does Sophie sell her artwork? Does she have a Petsy site?

    My daughter and I are leaving tomorrow on a trip from Arizona to Missouri to see the solar eclipse. I’ll have my 8" Celestron telescope with me and I hope to get a bunch of great pictures. Catch you all when I get back! (And save me some toe beans!)

    I love awkward mag so much. It’s a side I never expected but it’s fun though see her off her game entirely unable to actually help.

    Why does this remind me of the “Well, nobody’s perfect” ending line in Some Like it Hot?

    ‘Weird cat’ is redundant. Trust me, I know!

    Raccoons have such expressive hands. I love how Gutter awkwardly twiddles his fingers in the last panel.

    Today’s strips makes me think of Cyndi Lauper’s “She ’s so Unusual” as well as Calliope from my Mom’s favorite soap in the ’80s “Days of our Lives”. Her boyfriend /husband on Days was Eugene, played by John de Lancie who also played Q on Star Trek TNG, Voyager, DS9 , Picard etc…… Anyhow RIP Arleen Sorkin (Calliope).

    I love Georgia’s shout out to the “weird” ones. Or more correctly, one who stands apart from the crowd. I’m not sure how, but if there is a way, the BCN crew will get our introverted, creative house cat fixed up with our introspective, “weird” raccoon!

    “Weird” is relative, and anyway, you racoons have always struck me as having a bit of a “weird” side yourselves. A good kind of weird, mind you, but still definable as weird. ;)

    Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

    At the Literary Fair

    Sophititi: Thank you, guys for hanging the tapestry.

    Iggy: No problem, glad to do it.

    Beatrixia: So here’s the deal. We climb onto the tapestry and read to the audience, who are seated in this little area in the stadium. I’m working on the reading schedule.

    Iron Glove: I CAN’T WAIT TO READ MIKE MOLEGAN AND HIS SHOVEL!

    Wally (Awhil-Fixit the Seventh): Yeah! I really dig that story.

    Iggy: I understand King Montgomery and Queen Lisa will be here for the reading.

    Iron Glove: LOVE IT! NO PRESSURE!

    Maat-Tilda: I’ll be reading _Classic Crafts: How to be Creative _

    Bea: And Puck will be reading Erma Bombosis’ Wait Until You Have Kittens of Your Own.

    Adobe Style: What will you be reading, Bea?

    Bea: My favorite: Paddle to the Nile. What else?

    Who isn’t weird?

    I mean, for cat’s sake, we all follow a cartoon strip about an extremely cute & fuzzy broadcast station.

    Additionally, at least one of us (not mentioning any names) writes books about cats solving crimes! At least one person told the author that those books and the author were bat-crap crazy.

    “Normality” is overrated.

    The world can be bleak, and life can get you down. Find someone in this crazy world who gives you your zing! Go out and make everyone’s day a little more surreal.

    And if you are called “weird,”…wear it as a badge of honor.

    Glen Frey: The One You Love

    I know you think you love a happy ferret

    Someone who runs around, whose life’s a breeze

    Somehow I don’t know, I have a suspicion

    That his one true love is really cheese!

    …….

    Your heart keeps saying that he’s the one

    But disappointment you may find!

    …….

    Are you gonna stay with the one who loves cheese

    Or are you gonna look and then really see?

    Someone’s there for you, and he really loves you

    Someone lives for Swiss, Provolone, and Brie!

    OT! My OpEd to the Washington Post printed today. Titled, “More Comics, Please!” Slightly shorter than I wished, but I hope the women artists who did not make the list were because they were edited out by the Post as my article was too long. YIPPEE!!! I did it!!!

    I was in Goose Creek SC when the last path of totality swept through. A friend of hours came down to camp in our living room so he could take pictures. When the sun was almost 1/2 covered clouds boiled out of the north with thunder and lightning and we were barely able to get the telescope and associated equipment under the shelter of the covered walkway of our apartment complex. It kept raining hard through totality and most of the exit of the moon, and the clouds persisted until evening. We watched the eclipse on the TV, and when the local news came on all it was was bragging about how wonderful the eclipse was down on the beach, up in Hanahan, and Goose Creek!!! The bedammt thunderstorm was practically sitting on top of us and virtually stationary! We couldn’t even get outside to appreciate the darkness! Our friend was bummed but made the best of it and we had fun the rest of his visit. Our goal was to move back to Texas before this eclipse popped up. Here it is, less than 3 months until the eclipse for which we were in the path of totality, and I had to get up and move to La Marque, Texas, where it may be 95%. Okay, 95% is good, but it’s probably going to be raining. Sigh. ‘Man proposes, God laughs’ is an apt description of my plans right now. Better luck to the rest of you!!!

    Ricky – Good luck and wish I could take a picture of the eclipse. I will be able to get pictures of the eclipse shadows. They are really neat – very artist, and other worldly.
