Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 17, 2024

Now that’s a case I could really sink my teeth into!

She looks so much happier already!

Do not help Ora Zella up. Follow her around with a pillow, because that little girl is about to sugar crash any second now.

I admire Lupin’s strong conviction. No matter what Goldie does, he still doesn’t like her. That’s such a commitment.

Follow your bliss. Good for Goldie!

Breaking news: smol tortie invents the Boston-Cream-donut-onesie! Also, peanut butter paw with toe beans!

Great job, Goldie! You were born to detect, and I love your big smile.

I ate three huge lemon paczki for Paczki Day (spread over two days), so I won’t be wanting anything resembling sugary filled dough for another year.

Looks like Lupin hasn’t made it through his donut yet, unless that is his second.

Gosh I sure hope Ora didn’t eat any of that chocolate! :( Yes, I know this is a comic and nothing bad will happen to her . . . can’t help but think of how guarded we have to be with our Trouble cake. When ever we’re eating chocolate or David’s drinking a chocolate milkshake, Trouble’s right there screaming for some and there’s no way he can have any.

Whatever you do: DO NUT call the police – or the box will be empty in a jiffy…(not if it makes any difference when THE CATS are around!)

Hey Gent Bear! ʕ⁀ᴥ⁀ʔ You’re on today’s Speed Bump comic! https://www.gocomics.Com/speedbump/2024/02/17?ct=v&cti=1984103

Ora Zella ist ein Berliner?

One case solved. Now for the mystery of the disappearing evidence…

Eh me thoughts sweet theengs is bad for kitties.

How does O Z know?

Do I detect itty bitty toebeans on the itty bitty feet of an itty bitty kitty trapped under a huge donut?

Ora Zella – STILL the donut.

“Misplaced trust in Lupin and Ora Zella.” Aren’t we all guilty of that?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: That was a lovely breakfast. And it looks like we’ll be just in time for lunch at the Ceiling Can Be a Floor Culinary school.

Beatrixia: I wonder what Floofnet and Patrice will be having for lunch.

At the Ceiling Can Be a Floor Culinary School

Patrice Possum: Welcome back, mates! You’re just in time for lunch. We have bacon-wrapped salmon with ham and Punn State Cheese.

Puck: Delicious! I’m sure it’s no coincidence that Alice and Agnes were at Punn State for a class reunion this week.

Patrice: Of course, there’s no telling.

Ishaq, The Cat in the Unusual Headgear: I hope you have some more of those delectable donuts we had last time.

Floofnet the Joyous: Of course. And we have some packed up to take back with you to Egypt.

Puck: Elvis-Anum will enjoy them with tea after a transcription session with the latest Erma Bombosis scrolls.

Floofnet: I understand there are some cooking scrolls from the Library at Meowlexandria yet to be found.

Bea: You mean like Betty’s Crock Scroll of Lost Recipes and The Better Residential Pyramids and Oases Cook Scroll?

Floofnet: And so many others like the Temple Ladies’ Auxiliary Recipes.

Puck: There are still many places to look. The oPyramid, the Afar Library, even right here there are many archives to check.

Bea: I see many explorations in the future!

I checked and it appears Ora Zella has a different doughnut from yesterday. Glad Goldie’s case was relatively simple and that she has the “support” of her frenemy.

RSORTBSOOAD [SOO is sticking out of, and you know the rest]

I did not know that Lupin disliked anyone!

Come on, Lupin – you may not like Goldie, but you do love her after all this time.

Little chub chub

I think OZ has “fallen and can’t get up!”

Well that and the fact that the cats don’t have opposable thumbs, making it virtually impossible for them to get a credit card out of the Woman’s purse, and hold it up. They also don’t speak human, so ordering with a human would be a problem in and of itself.

Yes I know that the cats hold up microphones, but then our cats hold up some of their toys like that, as they are cloth toys that they can sink a claw or two into. Somehow I just don’t see any store accepting payment from the woman at a check out counter with a fuzzy cloth credit card filled with catnip.

Not all cases come with holes, am I right?

Way to finesse your findings, Goldie! OF COURSE it’s the Woman’s fault for presenting an attractive nuisance to entrap poor innocent kitties!

This got me thinking about what would happen if my cat had access to a debit card.

.

This place would be stuffed to the ceiling with catnip and pepperoni.

Speaking of donuts…

Doughnut down!!!

Is Ora Zella still inside the donut??

“Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”

Ora Zella IS in that donut.

My son sent me a pic of some ring donuts filled with chocolate cream and bavarian cream. ?? I don’t know how they put the filling inside the narrow rings, but I expect him home with donuts very soon.

Wait, so it wasn’t the Donut Fairy? (Gets rid of every trap.)

Ora Zella is really into donuts …

Aw, Puck, way to support Goldie’s career change!

O. Z. knows how to hunt.

OT: Georgia posted “I’ve had a few people ask if this storyline means I’m not feeling cartooning anymore—No way! Never fear, I hope to do this the rest of my life like Charles Schulz did. However, …this could storyline could have been me back when I worked at the bank. I loved my co-workers and customers. I was ok-ish at my job! (I enjoyed fixing bank errors and tracking down fraud—I hated sales and wouldn’t sell folks anything they didn’t need, which it turns out makes for poor quota numbers. ) I was asked if I wanted to begin the management track to one day manage a branch of my own, and I politely declined and said I’d prefer to eventually go into the fraud department. (I would have enjoyed that, I think, had I stayed.) My manager took mercy on me and had me draw up and design the promotional displays. My top drawer had secret comics I’d work on between customers, with a decoy layer of business papers to hide them. It was alright pay and good benefits. …But no amount of trying was ever going to make me a banker. I’m a cartoonist. Wear the donut! We’ve got one life to seek out our true Richard Scarry Busy Town role! Might as well chase the exact cat-who-bakes-muffins or pig-who-repairs-things or crocodile-who-is-plumber job you want. At least you’ve got to try! Sometimes fictional characters let their creators know they want to do something outside of the plot. (Writers, back me up here!) I’m looking forward to writing some mysteries for Goldie to solve and the crew to report on in the future!”
