Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 15, 2019

I know I wouldn’t want to eat anything that’s staring back at me

SPOILER ZONE

I love Puck’s puzzled silence there.

My Nan used to make it. She served it with white sauce. Fond memories.

She had a black cat called Sam. He was friendly. Kim was a terrier. And later she got Joe. Who bit me when he was a kitten and never stopped doing it. I never believed a cat could do that until then. He lived a long life but we eventually learnt that we couldn’t win him over.

ROFL!! Belly laughter on Puck’s reaction.

That’s the scariest looking hunk of meat I’ve ever seen, its cabbage eyes seem to follow you…run, Puck!

The corned beef does look pretty creepy.

Oh, look at Puck – stepping away and whispering with a paw over his microphone, lest the corned beef hear him and take offense! What a sweetie he is.

…mind you, I wouldn’t want to offend something that might get up off the plate and eat me, either.

Too salty. :(

To eat or not to eat, that is the question…. Whether ‘tis nobler… Oh, sorry. That’s HAMlet, not BEEFlet.

We eat good, Australian, corned beef a lot. Great stuff. She-Who-Has-Learned-How-To-Provoke-Next-Door’s-Dogs-Into-Barking loves it, but we only give her a tiny scrap. Too much salt for her. (Yes, they do sell reduced-salt corned beef, but I’ll start eating that when I drink “lite” beer and eat low-fat cheese and sugar-free anything.)

Iä! Iä! Cthulhu O’Fhtagn!

I always thought of corned beef as being for sandwiches. Growing up, I do remember having it for supper in huge lumps like that occasionally, but we didn’t have any St. Patrick’s Day traditions. But I don’t recall the cats being particularly averse to it.

But I have to ask, what are those red things in front? Hot peppers?

Use your nose, cat! Smell it!

Ah, Puck. There are moments when words fail all of us.

All the more for me. I’ll have a grilled corned beef and Swiss on rye please. And keep ’em coming.

Puck’s look in panel 2 says it all. No need for words, LOL!

Poor Pucky. He doesn’t understand. All he knows is that it isn’t ham, bacon or turkey.

PHEW!!!

Pucky, I’m with you. I was forced to eat it once. Never again

Don’t get too close to it, Puck.

Happy Ides of March, orbsters and orbabies!!

Poor Puck looks so sad in the last panel. It’s OK, Pucky, if you don’t like the corned beef. You don’t have to like all meats. Consider this, though: corned beef is tastier than boiled tongue.

It’s nice that the Woman tries to make the holidays festive for her family.

I may need to save this strip so I can look at it anytime I feel the urge to eat when I’m not physically hungry. Cute? Yes. Appetizing? Decidedly not! In fact, quite the opposite.

This is a total LOL, today.

What are the ‘teeth’? I get corned beef ad cabbage, but what are the red things?

Doesn’t the corned beef bear an uncanny resemblance to Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean?

The cup is still haunting me

at least its not salt cod

and no green beer in sight. Thank you Georgia.

“I always feel like Corned Beef is watching ME!”

…so they tell me.

Meat yes. Edible? Debatable.

I can just imagine Puck or Lupin getting into a staring contest with that corned beef.

Try it, Puck – it’s like ham, only made out of beef. You might like it!

Georgia posted a video of the boys plus Goldie in bed with her while she worked on some strips.

I was working on a story late at night

When two eyes seemed to look at me

What an eerie sight!

A strange, meat-like object was on a plate,

And the Woman chopped it up and began to make…

…….

It’s corned beef hash!

She made some corned beef hash!

It’s corned beef hash!

She took potatoes and mashed!

What’s corned beef hash?

Did you buy it with cash?

It’s corned beef hash!

This is meat, corned beef hash?

…….

There were onions added and all sauteed,

No ham in sight, but that seemed OK,

I said to Woman, your pardon I beg,

But what are you doing with that fried egg?

…….

It’s on the hash!

It’s on the corned beef hash!

The corned beef hash!

A breakfast meal from scratch!

It’s corned beef hash!

I’d prefer ham, no catch,

It’s corned beef hash!

Just what is corned beef hash?

Bobby “Boris” Pickett: Monster Mash

It’s Cthulhu.

It’s BCN’s edition of – MEAT the Press!! ;)

ROFL… I feel the same way Puck.. just NO.

My Jewish upbringing made me think of corned beef as a year round menu item.

Off Topic:

Lilly spent most of the night trying to get back in. When I showed her the shelter I made for her she stuck her head inside but wouldn’t go in because I was still outside. She’ll adapt. She did kill a large rat and left it in the planter.

Reboot still wants to know why Lilly gets to go out and he doesn’t. So he keeps his nose pressed against the door. I have to keep the door firmly latched and preferably locked because he can open it.

And Database? She has been going through the house and rubbing her chin everywhere that Lilly slept so she can replace Lilly’s scent with her own.

OT: Diego

I wouldn’t eat it Pucky, I don’t really think it is meat.

That is the oddest presentation of a corned beef. It’s totally unlike anything ever seen on Planet Earth, literally inconceivable. What’s next? Corned beef garnished with chopped lime jello with black olives and capers, topped with mayo?

That looks like a rather angry entree. Beware the “eyes” of March!

That meat looks kind of angry, doesn’t it?
