Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 02, 2022

OMG! Tense! The dust bunnies are so cute, the ones on Georgia’s fb page are marvellous – worth a strip in their own right!

You knew from the name of the game that a Vacuum had to figure in at some point!

Tension grows to ominous proportions……the dreaded vac is about to cause panic!

Lupin now crinkle-crazed and enconed. Goldie has dropped him, and the vacuum is coming. How can I describe his fate?

I knew it the vacuum is coming after the dust bunnies and the cats are going to be caught in the crossfire. I wonder if Lupin will be the one to save them. Maybe being crinkle crazed will help him get out of the cone. Though is he too crazed to do any good? Puck didn’t get a cone, so maybe it all is up to him.

Is that a box full of dust bunnies to the right of Puck?

The dust bunnies may bite, but they’re adorable.

I’m not even sure the DM/VM can save this group. They’ve done nothing right. They won’t survive to Monday.

The “cones of protection” look like giant marshmallows!

“An alternative use of the Little “No” is used by characters . . . who have just realized something really bad is about to happen, and say a soft ‘no’, their voice being a single syllable of clarity right before something blows up. "

Could it be Momma Vacuum coming to save her friend Puck from her natural enemy, Dust Bunnies?

Someone pick that Mouse up… Oh, wait, you can’t see her, can you?

I think I see Natasha’s lute still in one piece. Who knew dust bunnies could be so aggressive?

One would think Vacuums are the natural predator of Dust Bunnies, so if the party handles this right it could work out very well.

And Pucky, they make Cones of Protection in clear. Maybe a spell update is needed?

Georgia Dunn: You are so creative. The great god Gary Gygax would be so proud!

Dust bunnies swarm like mosquitos

Players snugly wrapped like burritos

But are they really finito

Or saved by Pucky’s cones?

Enchanted lute oddly plays “Despacito”

The Rogue’s on his own, pobrecito

Vacuum’s coming, oh, ¡Gato mio!

Will Pucky cast some drones?

The dreaded vacuum? Now the game is starting to suck…

Elvis toe beans!

Doom! Doom! Doom! What did I say a few days back? I said Doom back then, and I’m saying Doom right now!

“Oh, wait – phew, it’s only a Balrog!”

“Death awaits you all – with nasty, big, pointy teeth!” Run for your lives, it’s the Dust Bunnies of Caerbannog!

A vacuum. Why does it always have to be a vacuum?

Quite the cliffhanger! How will we hold on until Monday?

Lupin is the only one not shouting in the last panel, given his altered mental state. Georgia’s attention to detail is once again impeccable. Vacuums are natural predators of dust bunnies, so I predict they will flee and leave our felines with only one big problem to face.

Are we really safe right here

With this chaotic game we play

With cones on our heads we lose our way

Searching but not finding how to get through this cave

We’re lost with the mask we play!

…….

Elvis can’t see to do the things he needs to do

He can’t see what’s going on to cast his spell

He needs to see what’s going on so he know what words to say

And now we hear the vacuum comes this way

…….

Thoughts of running disappear

Every time I roll the dice

No matter how hard I try

To understand it’s just a game we all like to play

We’re lost with this mask now today!

UPDATE: harly did well at the vet none of his lumps (he is a very lumpy dog nowadays) are cancerous thank you for your prayers and concerns

Georgia – I just tweeted to Disney Studios that they should get with you to make BCN a cartoon series. I mean, you could say no if they come up with something, but I had to clue them into you. The world needs more BCN :)

well, maybe it is a Lawful Good vacuum, here to clean out those Chaotic Evil dust bunnies!

I’ve noticed that there are a lot of old people on go comics, I think it makes us a wizened community

In this comic I am learning more about RPGs (?) than I ever knew before.

Harry Nilsson: Coconut

The cleric went and cast a spell

He cast it to protect

And now the players cannot see

And it’s all gone to heck

Pucky cast a cone spell, now everything’s gone nuts

Pucky cast a cone spell, now everything’s gone nuts

Pucky cast a cone spell, now everything’s gone nuts

Pucky cast a cone spell, now the vac has woken up!

They cried “Elvis! Is there nothing you can cast?”

They cried “Elvis, the Vac is coming fast!”

They cried “Elvis! Is there nothing you can cast?”

They cried “Elvis, the Vac is coming fast!”

Violet said, “You’re all such silly players!”

You get your game faces on and all just stick together!

You get your game faces on and soon things will get better!

You get your game faces and have a few snacks, too!

If you roll a 20-sided it’ll tell what to do!

If you roll a 20-sided it’ll tell what to do!

If you roll a 20-sided it’ll tell what to do!

One too many times.

I rolled the one die.

Once in a shadow.

I saw bunnies fly.

And once in a night.

I dreamed we were there.

I cast a new spell.

And we went nowhere.

It’s all I could do.

To keep bunnies from you!

It’s all I could do.

It’s all I could do!

I keep thinking this is exactly the place for a Sunday strip diversion to “Our IX Lives” (or a word from our sponsor).

In the online game I play, I have a super group known as The Dustbunnies of Doom! Their fearless leader is Killer Dustbunny with his second in command, Dr Dustbunny. Next came Funny Dustbunny, Pugnacious Dustbunny, Zombie Dustbunny, and finally Diamond Dustbunny. Let allergies reign!

Again, I have to comment on how cute Puck’s helmet/cowl/whatever is, with its little ear-cones!

Is a comment about the Cone of Shame on or off topic? I once had a ferret StarDust (called, for some reason, Junior) who had a surgery and came home wearing the dreaded Cone of Shame. Yeah, he was fine with that till the anesthetic fully wore off, after which Junior had soon transformed it into the infamous Tutu of Shame.

To this day, whenever a ferret is having a surgery, we tell our vet “Use the stitches that go on the inside.”—apparently that’s a real thing—"NO Cone of Shame!"

Love this arc! I’ve learned about D&D, the cats in costumes are adorable (especially Elvis ❤️), and the artwork in some of the panels deserves to be framed. Can’t wait to see what’s coming.

Distant and ominous is the WORST kind of rumbling!♥

Doom on the horizon.

“Now, now, I’m sure it’s just a Dustbuster or something-”

ROAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!

“…it’s a Dyson! Every cat for themselves!”

Puck is probably not high enough level to cast ‘silence’.

Since darling Lupin is deaf and now can’t see because of the cone, he’s probably the only one not panicking.

So who is saying No, Puck or the dust bunny

ARGH!!!!

I literally just accidentally deleted my own post from several hours ago. Was something like “A vacuum dragon. Why do they always have to go bigger?”

DM: You have just come to a sudden precipice; unprepared, you stumble over it, into the abyss.

ARGH – it’s a Cliffhanger!

Ooh, I think I get how this works now…too late, I’m out of here!Later gator!
