Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 07, 2020

I see a glass of ice water has replaced the coffee mug on the anchor desk. I hope Lupin is at least wearing pants.

The little paw “cutouts” taken out of Lupin’s bit of paper crack me up. A lovely detail.

Elvis knows his Lupin.

Yikes! Nakkid Lupin!

Elvis. Elvis. Need we dig out the archival footage again? I seem to recall a certain weekend that was pointless and without mercy, and the initial steps of giving up. https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/2018/08/05

Uh oh! Lupin’s so upset he’s gone invisible! Give him a break Elvis, it’s hot! Lupin needs all the coolness that being naked affords, plus it adds to his cloak of invisibility. ;)

Lupin has something in common with the guys on Ballard Street. Streaking season is here!

I especially love the invisible paw holding the glass in panel 4.

When I was in college, streaking was always done on the first reasonably warm night in the spring, though it wasn’t that warm. Therefore I never saw a streaker that particularly impressed me…

Just to gather advice… How do you get cats to be cooler in hot and/or humid weather? They do not like water… so a kiddie-pool is out. My cats sniff and give me a ‘look’ when I offer anything frozen to cool their favorite nap spots. Any other suggestions???

Lupin seems happiest when he is exasperating Elvis (and when he’s naked!) I think Elvis is mighty cute in his undershirt too. I love that Puck is not phased one bit by Lupin’s lack of modesty…

Don’t look Ethel . . . er, Elvis!

“Naked” means you ain’t got no clothes on. “Nekkid” means you ain’t got no clothes on and you’re up to somethin’. Lewis Grizzard

Summer is indeed the worst! We’re in the middle of moderate heat wave here in Toronto with humidex (real feel) temperatures of hovering over 100F (40C).

Elvis- the voice of reason. He’s very funny.

Broadcasting standards are in terminal decline. I fear they are doomed.

Poor guys!

And no breeze = perfect flying weather for a certain JB with goggles and scarf. Hope that screen holds!

Being hot at night makes Puck mad, Bug

Yeah, it brings him down all right

Tossing and baking and getting almost naked

And sweating all through the night

Whoa-oh

Jules-y, Jules-y, Jules-y will you buzz them?

Jules-y, Jules-y, Jules-y do you dare?

Jules-y, Jules-y, Jules-y are you flying out there?

Jules-y, Jules-y, Jules-y don’t give Puck a scare!

Elvis’s ire cannot be contained at naked Lupin…..He Knows Lupin is not wearing a white t shirt ( and probably not pants either) Lupin can be a wicked, wicked kitty at times! A cat on a hot tin roof, indeed!

Is nakedness really an issue when one is invisible?

My distant cousin Poley the polar bear does this invisibility trick.

LUPIN !! You are no longer in an ALL MALE household .

Lupin is going invisible again! :))

As I have said before…Pants are optional while on BCN Comment Board.

Lupin, at least put on a pair of pants!

Wait, but Lupin’s head wasn’t finished…

It’s okay if Lupin is naked, Elvis. We can barely see him anyway.

Poor frizzled, frazzled Puck.

Notice how Lupin is keeping his pink “give away” toe beans hidden.

Lupin you go, fear not others. Elvis thats no way to cool off.

Lupin could just get in front of a differently-colored backdrop.

Other parts of the country used to sneer at the South with our air conditioning. As the weather has gotten weirder and warmer, A/C has spread.

Unclad kitties! Don’t look, Ethel!

Somebody get Puck an electric fan.

First rule of journalism:

NEVER be naked on air.

My Viola goes under the bed and stretches out on the cool hardwood floor, but an hour later she burrows under the blankets on the bed during the hottest part of the afternoon and sleeps there for hours, stretched to the max in a long white lump under the duvet.

Oh naked Lupin, lol! Going to be laughing all day at that!

Lupin’s doing the old Cheshire Cat trick.

The Meese and I

At the palace.

Puck: Your Majesties, may I present Miss Beatrix Lionheart. Miss Lionheart, Their Majesties King Elvis and Queen Goldie.

Bea: It’s an honor, Your Majesties.

Queen Goldie: The honor is ours. As you know, there are so many homeless cats and kittens out there. I was homeless once myself. What we want is for you to teach the kittens so they will be ready to go to their furrever homes.

King Elvis: And now, it is time for you to meet the kittens.

(To the tune of March of the Siamese Children)

The Kittens: Kittens all are we

As you can see

We are honored to be here,

The Palace of the King,

Here we are as we sing.

…….

We can be aloof,

Sometimes Poof,

But we still can be real cute

Chosen by the Queen

The finest to be seen.

…….

We love to run,

And to nap

We have lots of fun

When it’s kibble time

It is so sublime!

…….

Kittens all are we

As you can see

We are honored to be here,

The Palace of the King,

Here we are as we sing.

……..

Kibble we love,

Ham and Bacon or thereof

Kittens we!

Learning all about the world

Tails waving like a flag unfurled!

We are overjoyed,

Each kitten girl and boy

We’re pleased to meet you!

…….

Kittens all are we

As you can see

We are honored to be here,

The Palace of the King,

Here we are as we sing.

(Continued)

Today is International Forgiveness Day (possibly because of yesterday, at least in some cases.) Frankly, a day is too short. For it to be real forgiveness, whatever caused the anger has to be worked through, and for many things that takes years—to most of a lifetime. At my age, I have forgiven most of those who have hurt me or done me serious wrong. Anger and hatred are terrible burdens. Anger can be dealt with. it should NEVER be rejected. That’s merely sweeping it under a mental rug, or to use a better analogy, bottling it and leaving it in the cellar to age. Keep doing it, and sooner or later those bottles will explode from fermentation.

Anger is not wrong, ever. It is a normal human emotion. But because it can lead to hate, (as love can lead to folly) it must be understood and reckoned with. This is very hard work, and often painful, which is why so many take the easy way out by “rejecting” it. That is not the same as refusing to act in anger, which is very wise. Accept your anger, accept that part of it is directed at yourself (Why did I let this happen to me?) even if that is irrational. Once accepted and understood, anger is converted into fuel for proper, and generally more worthwhile action.

Once you can forgive yourself, it becomes much easier to forgive others. Forgiving oneself does not mean an absence of regret, but a different awareness of it. Perhaps those at whom you are angry also regret their actions—or not. If so, forgiveness is in order. If not, don’t get fooled again—forgive, but never forget.

Hatred is different. Once you begin to hate, you have arrived at the dark side. Hatred is the worst possible motive for anything, for it is irrational, and very nearly makes forgiveness impossible—of your self, or others.

Most weather reporters disappear when they wear green or blue in front of the map.

Poor Pucky, all frizzed out.

Lupin could be the ghost with the most.

Love Lupin.

Hey, when it gets to be over 100 degrees in Siberia, like it did a few days ago, we are all doomed. Summer truly is the WORST.

It’s only early July and I am so sick of summer.

With that nonstop frizz, I wonder if Puck could be part Rex (a breed that’s said to like water…just a thought, Pucky…).

OT: The weekend, the crazy, & other things…

Nekkid Lupin strikes again!

It’s the same reason Lupin never gets to be the reporter on the scene during a snow storm.

Anyone thinking Elvis resembles Thimblefist in that last panel? Just sayin’ . . .

Are there nudist colonies for cats??

I was just talking with my wife, who doesn’t read comics, about Lupin’s invisibility.

While we’re on the subject:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DpLYHKzqbE

We’re having the typical hot and humid St. Louis weather. Last night there was a pop-up thunderstorm over my area. Dropped 1.25 inches in about an hour.

INVISIBLE LUPIN!!!

I mean he could be wearing pants, we can’t see his hind legs after all.

I just love Lupin!

Like so many, I watched Hamilton this weekend and now I have bits of songs stuck in my head. But they’re the BCN versions… “Young, fluffy, and hungry”, “The table turned upside down”, “Kitty-cats! We get the job done!”, etc.

Lupin is wearing a white coat. If he weren’t we’d see pink skin.

Nothing wrong with naked, kitties; you’ve been hanging out with the hoomans too much……

Naked and invisible can happen with house panthers, too! https://me.me/i/been-looking-for-this-fool-45mins-now-damn-cats-13339500

Lupin, for modesty’s sake, put something on. You now have a lady in the apartment.

Love naked Lupin!!

Hello everybody, this is your feline intrest reporter

With all the news that is news across the Big Pink House

On the scene in the kitchen

There seems to have been some disturbance here

Pardon me Siamese, did you see what happened?

Yeh, I did…I was standing over there by the canned tomatoes

And here he come

Running thru the kitchen, past the water dishes

Naked as a jay-bird

And I hollered over at Goldie… I said don’t look Goldie

It was too late, she’d already been incensed…

[Chorus:]Here he comes, meow-dy, meow-dy

There he goes, purr-dy, purr-dy

And he ain’t wearin’ no clothes

Oh yes, they called him the Lupinn

Fastest thing on four feet

He’s just as proud as he can be

Of his invisibility

He’s gonna give us a peek

Oh yes, they called him the Lupin

He likes to show off his physique

If there’s humidity to be found

He’ll be stripin’ around

Invitin’ Elvis to scream…

This is your feline interest reporter once again

And we’re here in the living room

Pardon me Siamese, did you see what happened?

Yeh, I did…I was just in here gettin’ my fur groomed

And he just appeared out of the hallway

Come streakin’ around the table there

Didn’t have nothing on but a smile

I looked in toward the kitchen and Goldie was gettin’ her a cold drink

I hollered…Don’t look Goldie

It was too late…She’d already been booped

Flashed her right there in front of the food dishes

[Chorus]

He ain’t rude, meow-dy, meow-dy

He ain’t lewd, purr-dy, purr-dy

He’s just in the mood to run in the nude

Oh yes, they called him the Lupin

He likes to disapper

He’s always making the news

Wearin’ just his birthday suit

Guess you could call him unique…

Once again, your feline interest reporter on the fluffy bath mat in the bathroom

Covering the disturbance at the evening baths

Pardon me Siamese, did you see what happened?

Yeh, I did…bathtime, I was just going down there

To give the Girl some support

Here he come right our of the hallway

Disapperin’…right in front of the bath tub

Didn’t have on nothin’ but his smile

Made a tail boop and got out thru the doorway

I hollered up at Goldie, I said look out Goldie!

It was too late…She’d already been tail booped

Grandstanded…Right there in front of the children

Oh, yes, they called him Lupin

(Here he comes again.)

Meow-dy, meow-dy

(Who’s that chasin’ him?)

The fastest thing on four feet

(Goldie? Is that you, Goldie?)

Purr-dy, purr-dy

(What do you think you’re doin’?)

He’s just as proud as he can be

(You git your clothes on!)

Of his invisibility

He’s gonna give us a peek

Oh, yes, they called him Lupin

Meow-dy, meow-dy

(Goldie, you shameless tabby!)

He likes to show off his invisibility

(Say it isn’t so, Goldie!)

Purr-dy, purr-dy

If there’s humidity to be found

He’ll be strippin’ around

Invitin’ Elvis to scream!

(GOLDIIIIIEEEE!)

Hilarious!

It’s a miracle this one got past the censors. Nakedness left and right!

Made me laugh.

ha! look at puck’s fur!
