Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 17, 2020

Is that . . . a mailman?

Nah! They’re not real. It must be a Sasquatch!

Is that the mailman? Yes, I think it is…..Glory Be! Will he start the rescue?!

What?!? Could it be . . . a . . . mailman?!?!

Looks like Puck’s prayer was answered!

Great excitement from the viewers. Everyone exclaiming over the appearance of THE MAILMAN! But do mail persons really exists? According to Elvis…..no such thing.

GASP! Mailmen ARE magical!

OMC! Pucky is going to get his miracle! And from his mailman no less! Wow! This new twist is making me so happy!

It’s not just a mailman. It’s a MAN! Only 2 others have been spotted in this area.

Any one Alabama, Florida, check in when you can.

I believe in mailmen! =D Mailman, I believe you can do this!

(I bought a magnet with that first sentence on it via Zazzle. Figured I’d better reference it. XD)

I think I will change my name to Clair Voyent

Better have Bea turn on the Plaintive Mews to go along with that acorn, Homestyle. Sometimes the trees just like to attack, and the Mailman may not look closely without some backup attention grabber.

OT: Prayer Request Update

♫“Oh, Homestyle, all this suspense is killing you.

Oh, Homestyle, thy aim be true!”♫

I hope he/she has been taking lessons from the squirrels in “Mutts.”

This is just nuts…

Mailman or Mail-Myth? Clearly, he is a people of legend, story, and song! The USPS is a force for good in the universe, as are Homestyle and THIMBLEFIST!♥♥♥

Elvis is never going to believe who helps save Bea!

Now that is a happy Thimblefist!

“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” Exceptions may be made for a bookstore kitten stuck in a tree!

Panel 2 is just sweet.

Beatrix, I am glad you got some sleep. Now it is time to be rescued!

So Beatrix is going to be rescued by a random guy delivering election flyers?

Is he who I think he is?? Puck will be very happy!!

Ah the persevering postman person who perpetually performs his perennial postal profession.

Yay the mailman to the rescue. I remember my sister rescuing a baby squirrel way back in the ’70s and she still feeds them via a bird feeder at her house to this day; always a sign of a kind hearted individual. Hopefully the acorn dropped initiates a chain of events that leaves all happy by the weekend!

Aha! Can’t get much more extraordinary than that! Practically a cryptid!

LOOK! IT’S THE PAPYRUS CAT!!!! ( That’s for you, Kittykatz.)

Ah, sleepy Bea is so adorable. ♥

OT…update on the kitten with FIP

Georgia is wonderful at plot twists and turns….kudos to all mailpersons everywhere. There have been many news reports of mailpersons being the first to get help for people in need as well.

As Puck says, “I believe in Mailmen!”

Saw this online down in Fort Myers, real life kitten rescue at one of the Seminole gaming Casinos. https://nbc-2.com/news/2020/09/16/cat-rescued-from-tree-at-seminole-casino-hotel/

Rescue Bea

Oh take her in your arms

Rescue Bea

So she’s safe from harm

Cause she’s trapped here and

She’s blue

She needs you

You are magic, please help her too

C’mon and rescue Bea

C’mon Man and look up the tree

Mhm, mhm, mhm

(Carl Smith)

I did not see that coming!!

BoSH!!

Thimble-beans!!

The Mailman!!!! Pucky’s plea was answered! I believe in Mailmen!

The Mailman!! <3

The MAILMAN !!! Pucks belief will pay off. I LOVE IT <3

My dog/Honey loves the mailman, let me clarify that she would love to EAT the mailman/Bob and since she can’t get him she usually attacks my mail, talk about the dog ate my homework! At least Bob’s a good sport and understands most of the dogs on his route feel the same way as Honey.

Mailmen and Woman…They are truly super hero’s…especially these days.

Mailmen were proven to be true last year when Elvis witnessed ‘First Contact’. – Fly little acorn, may thy aim be true!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: I see everyone has returned safely from their travels, except where is Lupinium?

Puckmosis: He’s with Kara and Van at the Owl Temple to play some hoops with Wicket.

The Queen: Very good. And have you finished at the Great Pyramid, Beatrixia?

Beatrixia: Yes. I’ve finished filing all the scrolls away.

Elvis-Anum: But let’s have no nonsense about the Papyrus Cat.

The Queen: Anyway, I have good news from Afar. Adobe Style and Iron Glove will be visiting with us for awhile to start a new fashion project. And I understand Thomios has a few new projects as well.

Beatrixia: Can’t wait to get started!

Let’s hear it for our Federal Worker!!!! Yeah Post Office

The day is saved! Postpeople are heroes!

I believe in Mailmen. PS Just finished rereading David Brin’s “The Postman”; rather predictive of much about 2020.

Thoughts and prayers for strength and healing in you battle.

That is a twist I did not see coming. Yay mailman!

Puck is RIGHT! Mailmen actually do exist!

With the USPS getting such bad publicity lately, it would be great if the Mailman was the hero of the story!

anyone have a comment about the strip?

Is that a Mailman that I see beneath me? Let fly, Homestyle, and loose the acorn for Beatrix!

Aww Thimblefists and Homestyle know the cryptid mailman. Take that Elbiss! The mailman is real, and magical!

An avalanche would work even better …

Ah, the mythic Mailman!

Thimblefist just wants food lol

Hark! A mythical creature!!

But the mailman does not exist!

It be a mailperson. Elvis will have to get a hat so that he can eat it.

OMIGOSH! [yes, I’m shouting with glee!] Have Pucky’s prayers have been answered by the appearance of the Man or [dumdumdadum] the MAILman? Thimblefist says he’s magical, so that’s why I’m leaning towards the mailman.

And let’s give a shout out to the one who makes all this joy possible: Georgia Dunn!

I can’t stop smiling at the expression on Thimblefist’s face in panel 3!

Beatrix: “Mew. Huh, whaaaasup? Is it time for school? But I just went to sleep.”

Imagine with this beautiful, new day, the lilting light notes of Morning Mood by Edvard Grieg … … with the soothing, stirring voice of ‘Thimblefist, the Shoutmunk’ as he beckons Beatrice to awake with … …

" GOOD MORNING !!! "

{me just noticing} IT’S THE MAILMAN, PUCK’S GONNA BE SO HAPPY. WAIT…..GOD HECK MY CAPSLOCK IS STUCK AGAIN-

I don’t know how it happens but this strip just keeps getting better every day.

I just don’t see how a non-existent creature is going to help Beatrix.

[apologies to all real-world delivery persons]

I BELIEVE IN MAILMEN!!! <3

Even stuck in a tree Beatrix pays attention to tail position.

Aaaaaaaaah!!! The Mailman! He will rescue Beatrix and now Elvis and the others will have to believe (I have a suspicion that Goldie, having been outside for so long, already knows and believes in the Mailman, for someone who shares his lunch with squirrels and shoutmonks would surely also share with a homeless cat)!

um I am new to this comicwhat is it about?

From a single acorn, a mighty tree-rescue effort can grow.

Wow, a really great arc with so many if our favs, and a shout out to USPS, what a great way to start my mornings, ❤️ to all of you from smoky central WA

I was once kind of rescued by a Fed Ex driver who saw me and my lawn tractor roll off into a small valley when a piece of road gave way under it. Using my training as a horse rider, I stepped off as it went over so I was okay. He helped right the tractor which was fine, too. Scared the poor man to death, though. Delivery people, whether mail or packages, are often first on site when disaster happens and have saved numerous lives. Beatrix is in good hands now.

Today is:

Constitution and Citizenship Day —This is the day that the US Constitution was signed. In celebration of this holiday, I suggest that anyone who has not done so already read the Constitution and Bill of Rights. If you have already done so, keep them in mind when you vote. And there is something I think we should all do: send a copy of the Constitution and Bill of Rights to every one of your elected officials—because in the unlikely event that they have read it, they need to review it, having forgotten most of it. Cynical? Who, me?

Free Queso Day —No, not the imprisoned Hispanic Champion of Justice. This holiday was founded by a restaurant chain in 2010, and they give away cups chile con queso, so it’s commercial. However, I am inordinately fond of Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican food, and really good chile con queso, made with one of the varieties of soft Mexican cheeses, is a delight no one should miss—true comfort food.

National Monte Cristo Day —Not the count, the sandwich! The count is fictional, the sandwich not, but “Monte Cristo” is a much better name then croque-monsieur, which I’m told means “bite a man”—only the French …

At any rate, this is turning into a fairly cheesy day.

National Apple Dumpling Day —At least it isn’t cheese … Although apples pair well with cheese … There’s a thought: Apple dumplings dipped in chile con queso. Now that’s fusion cuisine.

Locate an Old Friend Day —If you have to locate them, how much of a friend are they? However, you need someone to help you eat all this food, though I’m sure Gent is willing to help. Bears are omnivorous. (Note to Gent: That word doesn’t mean to “eat it all,” rather that you can eat anything edible, silly old bear.)

OMC! This will truly be extraordinary if the magical, mythical mailman is Bea’s saviour. They do exist and they are wonderful! Yay Mailman!

This makes me want to go toss fruits and nuts outside.

Glad it’s an acorn she’s dropping, and not a water ballon. And make sure you drop just ahead of the MM, since he is moving. :-)

Oh my Cat, it’s the Mailman! This is amazing!

Since my apartment complex office is no longer accepting packages, they now have to be delivered to individual doors. I have taken to going outside a few seconds after I hear the knock and calling a thank you after my mailman. The extra effort is appreciated!

OT: Follow up Dr apt.

Oh the suspense!

And even better is that if the People in blue is walking under Bea’s tree, then she isn’t “…deep in the Wild Lands” as Mags said. (Of course, to the raccoons, human territory could be considered the ‘wildlands’)

She’s very much in range of somebody with a ladder, or even possibly within jumping distance of a human she knows and trusts.

in case you were wondering….I love every single thing in this strip

Thimblefists’ cousin Chip Chop is hard at work in Get Fuzzy today.

If the mailman recuses Beatrix, will Elvis finally have to admit that they exist?

I BELIEVE!

A few days ago, I saw two chipmunks facing off on my porch. I’m not sure if they were going to fight or make baby chipmunks, but the Amazon delivery guy scared them off before I could get a good photo of their face off. (My storm door has glass panels from top to bottom with cast iron scroll work keeping it secure.)

Ah yes, Puck’s buddy the Mailman makes another appearance.

If she misses, contact one of the squirrels from Mutts. They’ll hit the target, guaranteed.

“Wait a minute, Mr. Postman!” LOL!

THE PERSON PERSON TO THE RESCUE!!

Postman? There’s no such thing. We need Elvis to do the rescue.

OT: IT IS GOING TO BE OK – Thank you Orb

(gasp) THE MAILMAN!!! (dramtic music plays)

The third panel is great :) Thimble fist is hilarious:)
