Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 12, 2024

I think her future career just bombed…

Why is it that that the “I work alone” line never works?

But Auntie Goldie, You won’t even know i’m here……Aside from the chaos and destruction I’ll bring. That Smokey Ball of Chaotic Cuteness.

Be careful, Puck. Those two look like she might have graduated from smoke bomb to cherry bomb!

Smoke bombs? We should have seen that coming.

Ora Zella, Ora Zella, Ora Zella! It’s showtime!

I stand by my precious comment: Incredicat.

But… how can she be the unseen face of chaos if everyone can see her, uncle Puck?

Hey, Ora Zella, actually we do need a distraction. All the way on the other side of the house. Run along now, get to it.

This gives me flashbacks to the big nate detective scenes.

I predict she’s going to get into it with the mice, who are very good at distraction.

“No more”. So there have already been some.

Off-topic :

Somebody.

It’s cute that Ora Zella’s ears are flattened under her cap until “Unless you need me to make a distraction!” in panel 3.

Also, toebean alert in panel 2!

Today’s strip reminds me of a story that I read in a collection of new Sherlock Holmes fiction. The writer of the story used a Hansom cab driver as the narrator rather than Watson. Holmes says to the cab driver, “I need you to create a diversion for me.” The cab driver points to Watson and says, “Isn’t that usually his job?” Holmes explains that he has another job for Watson so the cab driver acts as Watson in creating a diversion for Holmes as well as in later narrating the story.

Chainsaws, smoke bombs, and Torties, OH MY!

It’s slightly worrying that Puck says “no more smoke bombs.”

Uncle Puck is not happy with the Junior Detective of Diversion and Destruction.

Ora Zella, the Detective’s Apprentice

Batman uses smoke bombs.

.

Batman is the World’s Greatest Detective.

.

Therefore, using smoke bombs will make you the World’s Greatest Detective.

.

My logic is unassailable.

OT: When a Hobbit goes to the library.

I love her little Sherlock outfit!!!

Look at Ora Zella’s smol paws resting on her panel one speech bubble. ♥

Hey look her over, in gumshoe gear

Fresh as October, cuteness up to here

Don’t she look great, Auntie, don’t pass her up

I figure whenever you’re looking about she can help you find whazzup

She can light up a smoke bomb close to the crime

Don’t thumb your nose ’cause it will distract big time

She’s a little bit small with a large kaboom and to her charm you will succumb

So look out world, here she comes!

/Cy Coleman, Carolyn Leigh /Hey, Look Me Over!

Be careful, Goldie. That’s what Mr. Incredible said to Buddy, and we all know what happened there. (Does OZ’s coat count as a cape?)

…we sure she doesn’t want to be Batman instead?

Ah. Smoke bombs. Of course. In the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle, this story shall be called The Valley of Smoke Bombs. Or maybe, just to cover all eventualities, The Misadventures of the Tortie.

OT: Trials (and tribulations)

Puck is not happy

Maybe the mice and Gutter should have taken OZ with them on the Great Sophie Rescue? The Tidy house would have not survived her level of destruction!

Ora Zella, sweetie, give Papa Puck the smoke bombs. There’s a good smol cat.

Ora Zella, the Inspector Clouseau of the Big Pink House on the Hill.

Finesse and subtlety, good qualities for a detective, but certainly not ones possessed by Ora Zella.

Bear is no finding where is monocle. If only there be a detCATive who is finding it for me.

Nope. Nobody would ever notice a cat dressed in a deerstalker and Inverness cape.

I believe a distraction is imminent!

The house in Kernville (the one above he river) is a no go. The title company found too many little oddities that the CU won’t be giving a loan on.

The GoFund me is still going.

I’m still going to need a house and septic inspection. And, what i thought was a fee, the title company will need ernest money. About what the goal i already set was.

I’m going to go look at a couple houses in Otis/Rose Lodge.

To make my life more miserable than it already is, i got to work this morning and my client wasn’t there. I call the hospital and they inform me that he is being sent back to the valley to a bigger hospital. Again.

All kittens are distractions. It’s part of their nature.

SMOKE BOMBS?! Quick Puck – grab that second one before she detonates it!

Love how Ora is touching her own speech bubble in panel one. Such a clever detail.

Every adventurous cat in existence

She’s a living flash bang grenade.

So… Ora Zella is

• in disguise

• to be the sidekick

• and create distractions

• by using smoke bombs.

Wow! She’s Artemus Gordon!

Where in the world did she get the smoke bombs in the first place???? baby fangs!

Madame Chaos!

What’s going on with GC. No new comics posted, but the page is there.

What no comics on Friday the 13th eh.

Re no comics this morning anywhere: just mentioning, my GC morning email has todays for all the ones I follow, so I could at least read them there, but yeah, when I try to click through to the site on any of them, yep nothing.

Okay. Somebody find Ora Zella and Lupin. This Go Comics problem has their paw prints all over it!

All I will say about today’s strip, having read it at Arcamax, is BUBBLES! Maybe it went up in one of Ora Zella’s BUBBLES, taking everything with it like some sort of comic, bubblapocalyptic (I made that word up just now) black, but not black, hole?

I LOVE “Auntie Goldie”.
