He really IS Mommy’s special boy! ……and precious baby. So sweet I feel tears dancing in my eyes. The last panel is so adorable, Elvis is vulnerable but safe now.
Do we know a Timmy? hee!!! I have no curtains on my windows though I suspect Loaner Cat wouldn’t have climbed them if I had. She’s the world’s least adventurous cat.
Today, March 27, is the fourth anniversary of BCN’s first appearance in the newspaper in 2017 (not to be confused with BCN Origination Day—March 12, 2014—when the webcomic had its debut).
In celebration, please consider writing to your local paper and, politely, urging them to carry the strip (or, if it already does, thanking them for carrying the strip. Explain why you love it and why it is a good fit for the paper. Even if you have written before in years past, write again. The number of newspapers that the strip appears in is critical to its success and survival. As BCN lovers, we can do no less than our very best to see it maintained in our local papers!
P.S. No, I don’t want to hear that you don’t read newspapers anymore. That is irrelevant. You don’t have to read the newspaper to ask it to carry the strip.
The delicate angel puff and the slashing maniac cat are one and the same…… Mommy’s special boy in plaid wrap and glass of water, truly safe-feeling at last….Puuuuurrrrrrrrrr
Oh Elvis! The ear scritching, the tiny glass of water, the Man’s extra shirt wrapped comfortingly around him…oh! My heart explodes for Mommy’s Special Boy in the loving arms of his mom.
He’ll spend the rest of the day curled around Her neck, in Her lap, or wrapped round Her ankles and the Person who discovered his predicament will be hissed at for a week.
Some cats become quite affectionate after a harrowing experience. As my cats got older, they would understand when I was trying to help. However, you have to build a solid reputation of trustworthiness. All it takes is one step on a tail to set back the process.

Took me a second on the last panel, then the groan of a solidly bad pun was heard throughout the land.

I am guessing that the “gentle” bit is more of an instruction or wishful thinking, rather than a . . . description?

What is Elvis wearing in the last panel? How did he change from his work clothes to a bathrobe?

I can see him looking over the Woman’s shoulder sticking his tongue out at the Man. “Not the Mama!” :D!

I love the strip today. So many cute illustrations of Delicate Little Mummy’s Boy.

Looks like the Woman wrapped Elvis in a blankie or towel to get him to detach. More likely to protect herself from the claws.

Greensleeves
Alas, my Gentle Angel Puff,
To be stuck on top of the drapery,
A Delicate Boy who was so very scared,
Some ham would bring comfort enough!
…….
Bring ham, to forget my ordeal
Bring ham, is all I ask,
Bring ham, and all will be well,
Bring ham, ’tis not so great a task!

I suspect that the terms “gentle angel puff” and “delicate boy” will come back to haunt Elvis in some future strip.

Got a sis and bros in a Rhode Island town
I went up for a climb but I never came down
Like Lassie saving Timmy from the well
It was a struggle in my own private hell
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
Asked for help but Puck misplayed his part
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
I felt spry and I went too far
Stuck up above, I knew it had to end
So tired of clinging to that curtain bar
Now here I am down with the Woman again
Everybody needs to feel the love
Everybody wants to have a home
Don’t make no difference what nobody says
Ain’t nobody like to be alone
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
As long as the Man & me stay apart
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
(Bruce Springsteen – Hungry Heart)

Yes, Elvis is VERY VERY much a “precious baby” and a “Little angle puff” see yesterdays comic for evidence of this.

Panels 3&4 are both perfect—the man’s reaction, the woman’s reaction, Elvis’ reactions, and Puck’s line “do we know a Timmy?”
