You’ll see Dee’s strip on Monday, mine on Friday’s, Todd’s on Saturday, and many other terrific cartoonists’ the whole week long too!

   Georgia posted about today’s strip: “This morning’s BCN Sunday is very special to my heart, lol! Growing up, I loved my American Girl doll Kirsten so much. Back then they were called the Pleasant Company! (Who remembers when they were called The Pleasant Company??) I adored the doll and character Kirsten Larson and her books with the beautiful illustrations by Renée Graef Illustration (still one of my favorite illustrators!) I would read them over and over again and study the gorgeous pictures and draw my own. Those books and Kirsten really captured my imagination and helped me to become the storyteller I am now. Yes, I do actually still have my Kirsten doll from first grade. She was the best Christmas present I’ve ever received, a gift from my Nana Dee Dee when I was seven in 1988. While I actually work hard to raise my kids and pay our bills, this is a sweet little joke I like to make all the time. I thought it deserved its own Sunday strip, with a shout out and devotion to all of Kirsten’s beautiful accessories and details. Yes, these are all her actual tiny clothes, of course! You can find today’s ’Breaking Cat News’ comic strip in newspapers throughout the country and on @gocomics website, where it’s posted daily! Happy Sunday!”

   Georgia posted: “Unfortunately Twitter’s recent changes to allow A.I. to train on all posts has made it necessary for BCN to leave the platform entirely. Tortimer didn’t save the world from A.I. in October for us to begin feeding BCN into third parties training artificial intelligence models in November.It’s no secret Twitter has fallen on hard times and become the online bargain bin of clickbait, scams, and cryptocurrency pitches from very pretty catfish. It’s bad enough we’ve been asked to call it “X” (cue edgy guitar solo) as grown ups …I’m sorry, I just can’t. It’s so embarrassing! I’m 42! I don’t want to be on a site called X (cue edgy guitar solo). I can’t to show up to every man’s middle life crisis I’m invited to. If I don’t know someone personally, I chose to sit their middle life crisis out. So, I’ve uncomfortably sidestepped calling Twitter “X” (cue edgy guitar solo), like so many of us have. These days it’s like passing through a part of the Internet that’s getting boarded up and closed down, with shady links lurking to try and sell you knock off watches. I’ve hoped to wait it out for someone else to buy X (cue edgy guitar solo) and restore it. Instead, it’s seems to have come to a point where parts of X (cue edgy guitar solo) are being monetized to more third parties, such as A.I. trainers. While I’ve mostly shuttered my own personal Twitter, longtime readers requested I continue to post a link to the comic there daily. I’ve tried to provide that one thing there for folks. However, with this new change in policy, (and the overall ickiness/“am I about to get hacked??” gut feeling I’ve had over there for some time ) it’s time to kick out the windows and bail. It’s not in our interest to feed ‘Breaking Cat News’ to third party A.I. trainers. I hope folks will understand. Over the last year I have reestablished the BCN accounts over at Blue Sky, anticipating a time when the bottom would fall out of Twitter.”

   Hint: To anyone who wants to go, it’s free. However, because it’s so popular, the problem is getting a room and a parking space. I suggest reserving a room now (seriously). I’ve heard people reserve motel rooms a year in advance. I also knew someone who stayed in Phoenix. Phoenix is a 2 hour drive so it’s doable.

   Congratulations!!! Hurray!!! For those who don’t know, the Tucson Festival of Books is very popular and prestigious. So competition for a spot must be fierce so this is a great achievement. In case you want to know how popular is popular, I went the year it opened and there were 90,000 visitors that weekend. I heard the number soon rose to 150,000 for the weekend. Someone told me they love to go just to be surrounded by that many booklovers.

   Why dress up to do yoga or any exercise? A ratty old tee shirt and shorts (or jeans) would do just fine.

   It would be great if Calvin did a diorama of Antarctica and then presented proof it’s considered a desert. However, that would require him to do a little work.

    Give it a safe place for it to retreat to. If it wants to be under a particular piece of furniture, let it alone so it feels safe. If possible, a cat bed or a folded blanket or towel. Once it gets its scent on it, it will feel at home with it. My cat has a favorite folded blanket. When we moved a few months ago, I kept it on the bed and saw that she went to sleep on it obviously feeling safe.
