Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 03, 2024

Ooh, they got everyone! …well, all the responsible adults, anyway.

I note we haven’t seen Lupin included in this lineup.

Check Lupin. Maybe the deaf couldn’t hear the effect of the meteor’s light and he’ll join in the fight against the triffid… uh, whatever’s happening here!

Uh-oh, are all the adult cats like this?

Ora, it’s up to you to save us all from the alien, possibly killer, ROOMBAS! LET LOOSE THE CHAINSAW OF DESTINY! And hopefully some help from Iggy!

Oh no!

Where’s Iggy? And Lupin?

Do I hear creepy theramin music?

I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

I know what cats stare at when they seem to be staring at nothing: poltermice.

Georgia’s capacity to demonstrate the haunting of Elvis from the back alone is impressive. I keep staring at the third panel. Hoping this is a dream sequence from which our young heroine will soon awaken!

Someone find Burt!

I wonder where/how all the other residents of the BPH are. And Burt and Baba.

Puck is “Papa”, Elvis is “Father”.

What on earth ( or not on earth) is happening? For heavens sake somebody : HELP

Many long years ago, Dunkin Donuts used to have a commercial where the baker would keep repeating, “Time to make the donuts.” He would eventually meet himself coming in the door. I’m getting those vibes from Elvis.

Ooooh, what a wonderful foreboding and suspense of things to come! Deliciously done !! And the art is exceptionally beautiful. Love the colors <3 <3

Eerie Thermin sounds in the background

What’s going on? I’m confused?

Elvis-‘Time to clean the litter box…’ OZ-’ Wait a minute, WHAT?! AUNTIE GOOOOOLDIE!!’

My question is, what role is Tortimer going to play in all this? Will he be a hero? Or will he be a spy from within? Inquiring minds…

Who will be able to resist? The ghosts? The mice? The kittens? I don’t know where Georgia is going with this, but I’m along for the ride!

Now can we start running around and panicking?

Aww, look at the back of Ora Zella’s fur speckled head.

Time to cleans the carpet eh? You is sure you is no means it time to horks on the carpet Elvis?

So, we have Poppa and Father but no mama. It’s a very progressive family. YAY!

What if…… the Roombas aren’t evil. What if they are coming to save us from another evil? Also, wondering if this will all turnout to be the wild dream of a certain smol cat who just had a belly full of ice cream, with SPRiNKiES, way too late one night?

Has the Sunshine Carpet Company come by?

look for pods under the beds

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Afar Public Library and Café

Violet-Ifa: So did Marion Librarian and Mary Andrews have a plan for preparing for the Thing?

Beaver Lee Cleary: Let’s read further:

Mary and I are planning activities for emergency preparedness for the kids. We are having them decorate jugs to keep a supply of water in, and building kits of food and other items. We are trying to show preparing for emergencies can be fun.

Now while the Portentous Wind is blowing, we decided to make the best of it. The kids are making kites, and we have a kite flying song:

With papyrus and plenty of string

You can make your own set of wings

There is no need to fear, all will be well, it’s clear

With your paw holding tight

To the string of your kite

Ooh Let’s all fly a kite

Know things will be alright

Let’s all fly a kite and send it soaring

Through the Portentous Wind

No need to feel chagrin!

Oh let’s all fly a kite!

What IS that green glow, I wonder?

Oh my CAT! They got Elvis. Is no cat safe?

In my view, and after considerable pondering, I believe we all should

PANIC

Green steps in the house. He’s just stairing at them…

Is OZ the only one in the household not affected one way or another by the green light?

Elvis possessed! Will the horror never end?

Oh great, the Aliens are from the Mega Maid Cleaning Service from planet Druidia. Just don’t switch her to suck.

Too late, they’ve already got Elvis.

I dunno, do they just want them to do their spring cleaning or something? In autumn? That’s a thing, isn’t it?

Whatever is going on with the spooky light hypnosis doesn’t seem to affect the smol tortie. Can it be that torties, the ultimate nonconformist, are naturally immune to mind control? Will torties save us from doom?! (Ah, the irony!!)

… If Roombas start leaving … little pods! … RUN !!! … :)

Stanley Steemer Man to the Rescue !!! … :)

OT but cat-related: It’s Snow’s birthday today!

They got Elvis! Mommy’s Special Boy is going over to the other side.

This morning I had the strange urge to get up early, get out our carpet cleaner and clean our carpets. The carpets are much better now.

OT:Destruction

So, if Elvis is Father and Puck is Papa, and Goldie is Auntie Goldie, who is Mama and/or Mother? It appears the Woman is just the Woman. I don’t recall if Iggy and Ora Zella have called anyone Mama or Mother. Anyone remember (or have spreadsheet information about it)?

OT #2: New track from kid bro!

Now I really wish we’d seen The Woman with enthralled wonky eyes like Elvis!

I don’t see the horror in this supposedly spooky story arc. Aliens are coming to vacuum our houses. Don’t forget to do mine! :)

Get out of there while you still can, Ora! Save yourself!!!

Ora Zella – to get the Woman awake quickly – make horking noises.

Why did the colorist suddenly make Ora Zella all black and then color her in correctly in the last panel?!?

A strange radiance suffuses the house.

Happy birthday, Snow.

Is anyone else thinking of Wold Newton?

Cue the Theremin!

Swat! Clean the carpet?

Sis: So Elvis is father and Puck is Papa, who is Lupin? Or Goldie?
