Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 08, 2017

Uh oh, “snap” is not a good sound!

LOL! I agree with Pucky; there have been several times when my heart was so touched by beauty that poetry just spewed out of my mouth!

more delicate than baby bird bones, i like it

it certainly helps when a kitty is standing on it

This is why our furniture hasn’t been moved in, oh, a decade or more. Even as we keep saying we need to rearrange and redecorate, it’s been like this for HOW long now?

Was this strip the Man’s idea, by chance?

Oh, I can indeed confirm that the fancy bits are most fragile. And completely impervious to any form of wood glue, super glue, or any other adhesive. I believe they were originally affixed with a magic incantation, and cannot be re-attached without invoking the same spell.

HAHAHAA!!

I agree with Elvis. Cursed, and not just by The Man.

Proper in-depth reporting from the boys :-)

And Charlie had a think,

And he thought we ought to take off all the handles

And the things wot held the candles.

But it did no good, well I never thought it would

As someone who served as one of two young men in the immediate family who had to move a great deal of heavy, expensive wooden furniture out of his recently-dead grandparents’ house about a week ago – (shudders).

HEAVY LIKE STONE – SHATTERS LIKE GLASS – HOW IS THIS WOOD

I have an antique secretary with a slanted drop down desk. For some reason, cats cannot see the slant and think the surface is horizontal. As a result the painted surface (original Chinoiserie painted and gilded surface) now bears the claw marks of sliding paws. It also has one weak Cabriole leg; last time we moved I warned the movers about the leg. So in addition to swaddling it like a mummy, they taped giant signs with arrows pointing to the leg and a note to LIFT not DRAG. And so it survives into its second century.

I bearly have much furniture in my cave. He he he he…

I can attest to the accuracy of this comic. My wife has a desk like that. Thankfully, she likes it where it is and has never had the urge to move it.

The fancy bit snapping in the last panel made me laugh out loud. This entire strip is hilarious. One of my favorites for sure.

Here is my thought on the uses, indeed the only legitimate use of ancient, valued antiques; INTO THE BONFIRE THEY GO!

What movies are you guys excited for in the coming weeks?

Also, BCN hasn’t been able to make the GC blogs…

Really great one! Think I’ll tell my family I’m “a thing of fragile beauty and unreasonable weight” and see if they pass out from trying not to laugh!

Time to buy one of those hand trucks. Or some antique-y looking wooden castors.

Whenever I hit my proverbial thumb with that proverbial hammer, I’m prone to screaming an impromptu poem at the top of my lungs…but always in ‘spondaic infinitameter’ (and yes, I made that up, Jimm)—that is to say, hollering the same enthusiastically-accented four-letter-word over and over and over until I’ve appeased the Gods Of That’s What You Get For Messing Around With The Toolbox Again.

I love the ticker running underneath the second panel. And all the cat assistance. <3

Lots of good supervision by felis inthewayus. Fortunately, no felis subpedalis

This is getting pinned up in our inherited farmhouse as soon as we are able to start removing the furniture (we’ve had to remove 4 tons of trash to find the furniture!) There is a very large walnut and cedar chifferobe at the top of the attic stairs that we all keep looking at a bit apprehensively. I’m pretty sure they put it in the attic BEFORE they put the roof up. There is going to be much poetry uttered as we try to get that down…

I just realized that the “Sunday Header” wasn’t put in, making this an easier read for some. Thanks Gocomics (and/or Georgia) for listening! (I had no problem magnifying it but many did complain of this each Sunday.)

I think that Elvis deserves the Catgar R.Murrow Award for Achievement in Newscatting-talk about your embedded reporters.

I’m the kind of person who measures everything and draws up plans on graph paper when there’s a move, and still there’s always a few really heavy things you end up having to move afterwards, once you’ve realised you planned badly around a radiator or something. I can’t move furniture or pack myself due to disability, so you can bet I made a nice batch of biscuits for the friends were helping my partner move last time.

Man to Woman: “Honey, if you want this thing moved again—GO HIRE SOMEBODY! I’m gonna take some Advil and go lie down….”

The only proper use for such things is under a dust cloth in the-room-nobody-is-allowed-to-enter-on-pain-of-death saved for that one maudlin descendant who will cherish it because it belonged to great-aunt Muriel.

Those furniture slides from as seen on TV really work for me. The plastic side for carpet and the fuzzy side for hard surfaces. Saves my back.

I thought a “Secretarial” was a race horse.

Needs one of those inflatible(spelling?) moving pads.

This is how I die -Man 2017 while moving Woman’s Great-Grandma’s chest of drawers (I think that’s what it is)

With that frustrated look, he looks kind of like Offal.

Poetry?

The man adds his own curse!

Wahahahahahahahaha I have so been there..
