Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 04, 2024

Fix it sounds just a bit ominous, even for a soap opera. Papa’s got a brand new scam!

Wait … Is Snowball (Snowjob?) actually burning money in panel three?

Does this “fix” involve a hasty marriage to That Guy Brad?

It’s a frame-up, with Kit the intended patsy.

I smell a fish. A bad one.

As I recall from an early “Our IX Lives”, cars were cardboard boxes, including a limousine which was two boxes taped together. I can hardly wait to see what they use for airplanes.

Angora toebeans! Pink ones!!! [Thud]

And so it begins, I can’t wait!

Is the thing with the voice coming from it an office intercom? So Angora has staff?

Loving the old-fashioned telephones with the curly cords.

Those of us who spurn the tawdry drama of soap opera are engaged in elevated inquiries into the deep, fundamental, questions of reality. Also eating snacks.

The Grinch has arrived…

The ‘psychic’ assistant cat reminds me a bit of Barbara Eden in ‘I dream of Jeanie’. Maybe it is her exotic scarfs, plus a little bit of mysticism ?

He said, as he lays in a pile of gold, and sets fire to money! The cad!

I don’t like that smile on ’father’s’ face…this does not bode well. Then again, my dad, who never missed TY&TR after he retired, right up to the end, would tell the TV every time, “Just wait. Something’s coming and it’s going to change everything!”

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Happy Healthy Hospital Pyramid Auditorium

Snowfall Braggart: Well now, I understand you boys are working on the stage. I have some ideals on what you should be doing.

Burt-Ra: Don’t worry. My three builders here are the best in the profession.

Snowfall: Of course, of course. But there are just a few touches I think it needs.

Wally (Awhile-Fixit the Seventh): What do you have in mind?

Snowfall: Oh, I’m just concerned there won’t be any unfortunate accidents. One can’t be too careful.

Iggy: I’ve sailed the seven seas and made every repair there is to be made on a ship. I know all about careful.

Iron Glove: And no repair is too complicated for me!

Snowfall: Now I’m sure you gentlecats are good at your job. I just hope there no unforeseen incidents. Oof! What in the world?

New Arrival: It’s me! Ora Z!

Be careful about getting too close to fire, Snowball. I’m curious how he will fake (and I’m sure it is a fake) being poor when she arrives.

Christmas is a town in Michigan, north of Hell, Michigan. Santa Claus is grounded in the state of Indiana.

Maybe Tom Morris can send cat food to the caller.

Snowball, what nefarious plot are you hatching to ruin your daughters life this time?

Oh good grief. Couldn’t this storyline have waited until January or so. That is the normal sap harvest time from maple trees. And this storyline is oozing with an abundance of sappy, cliches.

The plot thickens!

What’s this “we”, Snowball?

Literally burning his cash with a lighter while talking on his gold phone! <<snort!>>

Is the white thing in the bottom corner of panel 1 supposed to be an intercom? What’s the little doo-dad sticking up from it. And what is the pink thing right above it? Is it Angora’s sleeve? It appears to have a white paw on it.

Ah, the surprise bankruptcy gambit. :)

…he said into his clearly gold-plated telephone…

Heck, it wouldn’t surprise me if the litter-box is equally gold-plated too.

I have successfully stopped myself from responding rudely to a comment. I haven’t lost all of my filters yet.

Paisley has a good point. Everyone should make time to enjoy Christmas.

Hmmm. I wonder how much of the past Our IX Lives storyline is canon in the Pawmark version.

say when was the fist our IX lives comic

I was looking at some googled pictures of intercoms and saw that many had an antenna (?) sticking up. Of course, cats would have an intercom with two antennae, because, cats.

Why is the fathers’ money problem Angoras’ problem?

I’m on the edge of my seat.
