Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 26, 2023

A hero emerges! Without his helmet! Save him Pucky!

Only one arm, but lot of guts. A real hero

Elvis, pinned down with a dust bunny. He needs a hero to save him. Enter Captain Catacular, aka Puck! Activate Mighty Paws of Justice! BAT! BAT! BAT!

The dust bunny is trying to help Elvis, but I think the bunny has more to fear from the vacuum than even Elvis does!

First, the human kibble chopper and now this vacuum. Puck is truly a superhero of bops and bats!

I’m not a cat, but I am on their side. I don’t like vacuum cleaners, either. But, it does keep the house clean, but I can do without the noisy noise they make. And I hate cleaning the roller, with all the cat hairs and my hair, too, off the roller. I do use some kind of squeegee thing for carpets, before vacuuming. It helps. Elvis, just be patient, it’s not going to eat you!

In panel 3, even in Lupin’s largely blank white face, I love how Georgia manages to instill an expression of concern for his brave friend.

Oh Puck, you are my sweet hero.

Elvis looks fully terrified, poor baby!

I’ve been waiting all week for this. Love the bond between all the boys.

Slightly OT: Panel 2 reminds me to recommend The Silent Miaou, represented to be a translation from the feline by Paul Gallico. Easily available in used paperback.

“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” – Christoper Reeve

This is one I’ve been waiting for. I love our hero, Puck. Pkus Elvis’ silent scream is pure genius on Georgia’s part! ❤

Paladin Puck Protects Petrified Puss!

Shouldn’t Lupin be the one who is less phased by the vacuum since he’s deaf?

Pucky the Brave

Pucky is plucky.

And thus the brave Sir Pucky slayed the metal monster and saved mommy’s Little Bellerina Princess.

Puck on the attack!

There was a Fred Basset strip which showed that Fred is afraid of vacuum cleaners. Someone commented, “Are you afraid of Mr Hoover, Fred?” I replied that there was a Mr Hoover in the 1920s who was someone to be afraid of as his administration caused the Wall Street Crash.

Even the Evil Vacuum appears astonished at Pucky’s brave attack.

Meanwhile, under the red couch, Elvis has gone full on Silent Scream.

The House Panther could sense the silent terror of his clan member, so he sprang from his cave, and raced toward the danger! Ahead of him, he saw the bloated and screaming monster, advancing on his cowering clan member! With an angry roar, he throws himself in front of his friend and lands several quick blows to the startled monster’s face! Confused, the monster backs off and falls silent, then retreats to it’s own cave. The House Panther feels victorious, but he knows the monster will be back!

Pucky comes to Elvis’ protection again. First the leaves, now the vacuum. What a good boy.

Traditional: Scotland the Brave

Hark when the vacuum’s humming

Beneath the sofa running

Silently screaming, Elvis fears for the worst

Where there’s dust bunnies hidden

Puck feels the call that’s bidden

Comes to the rescue our brave panther gets there first!

…….

No fear he leaves the safety

Beneath the sofa bravely

No helmet wearing as he confronts the vac

Lupin looks on in horror

Puck has no fear or sorrow

Elvis is rescued by our Pucky the Brave!

Pucky, my Pucky! There’s a reason he’s so dear to my heart. Love that boy.

OT:

Puck is a hero, more than just in his imagination! The vacuum cleaner is a tougher opponent than any robo-snake, but Puck shows no fear.

OT: For Memorial day weekend.

Wait, I was right about Pucky the Brave showing up?!

A weird thing happened this morning. I usually click “random” After reading the day’s BCN. Today I hit random and I was taken to 08/04/17…for the exact same strip that Georgia is repeating today! What are the odds! >^^<

It reminds me of Pucky standing up to the Vacuum dragon in their D&D game. Do you happen to remember when that arc was?

Mister Vacuum never hangs around

When he hears this Mighty sound.

“Here I come to save the day”

That means that Mighty Pucky is on the way.

Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right

Mighty Pucky will join the fight.

On the carpet he takes a stand,

He gets the situation well in hand

So though we are in danger, we never despair

Cause we know that where there’s danger he is there!

(He is there, on the carpet, on the couch, in the air!)

We’re not worrying at all

We’re just listening for his call

“Here I come, to save the day!”

That means that Mighty Pucky

Is on the way!

We’re not worrying at all

We’re just listening for his call

“Here I come, to save the day!”

That means that Mighty Pucky

Is on the way!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Ora Z: Some of these wood scraps make pretty sounds. I bet I could play a tune on them.

Mandy: You probably could. We could help you fine tune them.

Whisk: I’ll go and sweep up some more scraps.

Ora Z: How do we make them into an instrument?

Lynn: It takes some care and patience.

*Ora Z: *What’s patience?

Lynn: I think it’s something that you have to learn. Let’s start small. Maybe some of the woodworkers can help out. Are Iggy and Wally available?

Sometime Later

Iggy: Sure, we’ll be glad to help. If you need any metal work I’m sure Iron Glove will help as well.

Whisk: Here’s a whole pile of wood I swept up..

Wally: Where did they all come from?

In the Background: We’ll never tell!

Puck, you are a Good and Brave boy!

OT; Smudge is afraid of the kittens.

He tried to scream, but nothing came out!

Brave PucK! – Only 3 legs but still a hero!

The mighty Puck comes to the rescue again.

Hurrah for Puck, a cat of might and pluck!

Our vacuum has teeth marks from the dogs.

A true hero! Pucky is the Best Boy!

OT: My husband

Where are the rest of the cats? (Also I’m pretty sure this is a rerun series)

Pucky seems to be immune to the bystander effect. Good for him!

Puck the Protector

A whisper or a scream, doesn’t change a thing

Pucky, fight it back

Swat that vac!

.

(With a thousand groveling pardons to Kenny Wayne Shepherd, though I don’t know if he could hear them over the vacuum.)

Puck is brave and the dust bunny is adorable-I want one like that.

OT: TinyKittens update

Puck to the rescue

Oh, I just adore the dust bunny (actually, it looks more like a dust chinchilla) in panel two; he’s so cute I would hate to vacuum him up.

Go, Puck! Rip that evil vacuum cleaner to shreds.

a Hero emerges.it’s sweet, sweet Pucky!

Why’d he leave his helmet though??

OMC. This is so Pucky. I love you mancat!

My heart just melted!

I don’t know if Ms. Dunn reads these comments, but I want her to know how much I’m enjoying these older strips. For this somewhat recent fan they are a real treat.

You know this strip has been showed 3 times… First online then in one of the archives and then now.

Dust bunny!

" VACUU-DRAGON !!! … I Shall HAVE At THEE !!! " … ( Bat – Bat – Bat – Bat ) …

I thought at some point Georgia had posted some dust bunny’s she had drawn in the past, and I was right she did, shortly after this strip first appeared. Not sure if this link will work or not, https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1618732811505466&set=pcb.1618732948172119 If it doesn’t and you can go to Facebook I found them by searching her page for dust bunny.

Puck is the greatest cat in the universe. Except, maybe, for Beatrix.

Ah, silent screaming. I saw this in the newspaper when they had it. They sadly replaced it with Wallace the brave years ago. (Although that’s my second favorite comic.)

Yay for Pucky!

Tiny Bops of Justice!

It’s time for TINY BOPS OF JUSTICE!

OT:

New BCN book cover art! Check out the cuteness of Everything’s Coming Up Beatrix! https://www.instagram.com/p/CsopwPXJ2QX/

And here’s the Big River Website listing, but maybe get it from your local store if you have one: https://www.amazon.com/Everythings-Coming-Up-Beatrix-Adventure/dp/1524879746/

We had a little lady black cat several years ago. Her name was Precious and oh my Cat! She would swat that snake (vacuum hose) and just fight that nasty thing for all she was worth. Needless to say – we got quite a giggle out of her. She was the QUEEN of our home for sure!

Our hero Puck

Nana-nana-nana-nana PuckCat!!!
