(We now return to Our IX Lives Angora: Father? Mr. Taggart: Angora? Angora: Yes! It's me, Father! Are you ill because of me? Father: My dear girl... (Beep.....beep...beep) Mr. Taggart: Yes. Angora: How could I be so selfish? I knew father's heart was poor! Angora's sister: Get a grip, Angora. Father is faking. Angora: Give it to us straight, Dr. Mittens. Dr. Mittens: Your father is dying of a broken heart... Dr. Mittens: Brought on by acute disappointment. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Angora's sister: Oh, for CAT'S SAKE- Brad: Hello?

The saddest part of the story is they’ll have to go through this eight more times.

Just got off BreakingCatNews website where they have just posted today’s comic. So both websites are now in sync. That means they go back to 2 comic’s a week.“sad music plays”! I absolutely love Natasha saying “We’ll get through this, Kit”!

Our XI Lives is just amazing, far better than anything we get on tv. Just love how the hospital has the little cat-like points on the roof, lol even the palm tree on the right reminds me of a tail.And Elvis is channeling my dad today, he thinks that unless it’s the news it’s just not worth watching :p i’m with Puck and the others, they’re real to us!

The hospital cat bed is cute. So many little details to look at, makes this comic fun to re-read over and over again.

Love it! Natasha’s “We’ll get through this Kit” . Master of Disguise, amateur mandolin player! I just want to slap that old faker. Meanwhile… interesting developments. Stay tuned. Can’t believe you’ve got me involved in a cat soap after i gave up my human ones

Ok, second time thru and I’m noticing the robber mice fan! So cool to finally sinc here:) Welcome to all new fans; you can catch up at the www.breakingcatnews.com/ web site and our wonderful artist, Georgia Dunn and family:)

What’s especially wonderful about being in sync is now there are two sets of comments to read! I absolutely love the comments here, people telling their own experiences, etc. plus I don’t tend to spot the details until someone points it out such as the hospital cat bed,.

Loved the smile & wink on “sick father” in 4th panel.

Oh My Cat! (to coin a phrase). This brings back memories of me ‘watching’ the daily soaps with my mother during summer vacation. As the World Turns, General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, The Edge of Night. Of course, the coolest could be seen after school (if you were fast) — Dark Shadows. Yes, BCN is real — in my heart

Not a big soap opera fan now but in my youth I was hooked on Dark Shadows. Quentin the werewolf—yum!

Today is the 200th ‘Breaking Cat News’ strip! And the first day that the original site and GoComics posted the same strip! YAY!!! I’m really excited for holiday/seasonal strips now, because we’ll all be able to enjoy them TOGETHER!
I am going to miss BCN every day on GoComics… So much that I am thinking about how I could possibly begin daily strips. It’d be a compromise—the strips would be shorter, but there would be a new one every day and you could follow reports and story lines over a week or two, rather than waiting for Mondays and Thursdays whenever there is a cliff hanger. That is planned for the future, because I have been developing the comic to pitch to newspapers with my editor here at GoComics—but I’m thinking about starting it soon online too. I’ve grown to really enjoy a new post every day, and I hope you have too.
Either way, I’m so happy that both sites are on the same timeline finally!

I will miss having one of my favorite strips everyday but I can imagine how much work and time it would take. Great work Georgia. You bring a lot of joy and laughter into a lot of peoples lives.

Oh, my Cat! Is that Captain Nimble (Princess’s beau) and some long lost siblings for Sweetheart Taggart?
reynard61 almost 8 years ago
Actually, what I’d like to see is Our IX Lives as a daily 3- or four-panel B & W parody strip while BCN continues on its current schedule.

“Real in my heart” means “not real, but I want to pretend it is.”

Amateur mandolin player?
RH3 almost 8 years ago
Gah! Sentimental slop! I want hard news. And I want it every day.
But I’ll have to get used to the twice weekly format again. However, it does give me a chance to look at each strip several times and find all the gems I missed on the first read-through.

Why am I repeating myself? Senility?

Long or short, everything this artist does is terrific. Even the simpler strips have an abundance of detail…like the bonus Sunday with Sophie, which included such things as a paper crane made from an envelope, and the steadily dropping, then rising, ears of Sophie. Very eloquent.

From now on I wish to be known as Dr Mittens.

I read the strip then the comments and then have to go back and discover all the delicious tidbits. Well done. Love the book too.
