Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 19, 2022

Ooh! The plot thickens (unlike the walls).

Fortunately, the Man is above it all. XD

Something very interesting is going to happen………Big smile on Freddy!

Hahahaha

Snicker, snicker, snicker.

Poor Mr Man. But he may not be poor for long.

Love the expression on the Man’s face. He is clearly not amused.

As if he doesn’t know that he sets stud finders beeping and female hearts a fluttering!

My first thought is that I shoulda seen panel 2 coming with some of the earlier commentary.

My second thought is to wonder if Freddie’s trolling or blocking on purpose. With that grin and her history, I’m just not sure!

The stud finder found a stud (Man) and it found the hidden purple room!

Cackle cackle indeed. Maintain your dignity, Man!

That’s the right attitude. Though life seems jolly rotten, the Woman and her friends have not forgotten to laugh and smile and dance and sing. They always look on the bright side of life.

Incidentally, stud finders work on stud and plasterboard walls, but what sort of walls does the BPH have?

Just like Hollywood Squares. “She goes for the block and wins!"…

Amanda the Great mentioned Lupin and BCN today. Apparently the GoComics calendar is out and both are on the cover.

The Man Is Not Amused.

Time to break out the borescope.

He’s ticked. It reminds me of pointing the remote control at Dad and pressing the Parent Control button. Nothing happened there.

A stud finder would go off in my hubby’s presence. He doesn’t agree. I say it will.

OT, orb power.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: Definitely we need another visit here. We’ll bring Beaver Lee Cleary when she is available.

Beatrixia: Let’s head to the room down the hall.

Elvis-Anum: I’d like to stay here for a bit. I need to research Holling Catman Holling’s scroll Paddle to the Nile.

Puckmosis: Alright. We’ll come back for you.

Beatrixia: Let’s head down the hall to the next room on the right.

Violet-Ifa: Looks like that’s a litter room.

Tash: Always good to know where one is.

Wally: This next room just has a bunch of gold and jewels.

Puckmosis: We’ll have to invite the Artists along. Next time.

Wally: I just noticed my family hieroglyph on this wall.

Puckmosis: Does the wall sound hollow behind it?

Wally: I think so.

Beatrixia: We should go back and tell Queen Catshepsut what we’ve found.

Puckmosis: I’ll go and collect Elvis.

In the Kitten’s Room

Elvis-Anum: I need to do some further research. I’d like to borrow this scroll.

Puckmosis: We don’t know what will happen. There may be a curse on these scrolls.

Elvis-Anum: Not with this.

Puckmosis: Do you have a protective charm?

Elvis-Anum: No. This is my Nile Library System borrowing card.

Quinn’s up to something!!!

From Peter Noone and Herman’s Hermits: Something is Happening

Something is happening and it started happening with this device aye-yi

Looked for a stud to hang this picture, it was like a ghost walked by-aye-yi

Does it mean more doom and gloom here?

Or could there be another room there?

It seems like something is happening

It’s not clear exactly what to do

Something is happening right now

And I really hope it’s something exciting, great and new!

I couldn’t get past the second frame for about 2 min I was laughing so hard.

“Ok… This is weird.” – Many interesting discoveries have followed this statement!!!

Someone predicted this. I can’t remember who but I guess they were right!

Do stud finders work well on lathe and plaster walls?

I’m sure, The Man, has delt with this before! (Snerk!) Now, what are you leading the ladies to, Freddie?

This strip just really makes me laugh. Nothing better than watching people (and ghosts) just having a good time. In spite of that impish smile, hopefully Freddie is doing more than messing with the Woman.

Poor man. He’s outnumbered here. I think the purple room is behind lath and plaster walls and that Freddie knows what they will find in there to save the BPH.

I know it’s a bit early, but does anyone know if there will be a calendar for 2023?

Middle schoolers

Taking a poll on plot devices…

A. Chekhov’s Gun B. Deus Ex Machina C. Foreshadowing D. Shoulder Angel

ooo, a hidden room maybe?

I like to think that Freddie would be particularly fond of Tommy’s Woman given her dedication to the shelter. I love how it looks like she’s giving her an otherworldly high-five.

I am now doubting the Young Lady would make for a good Ghostbuster !!! … :)

Wouldn’t a house that old be lath-and-plaster and thus the stud finder won’t see changes in density? You have to get a metal finder to look for the nails or tacks in the studs.

Will Freddie lead them to a secret money or treasure stache with the stud finder? Hmm…

Priceless. Man’s reaction to Stud Finder. C’mon….girls just gotta have fun too.

Freddie. I’ve always had good luck tapping on the wall. The difference between hollow and not is pronounced.

Tomorrows comic will be an advertising for Rocket Mortgage, where the man and woman will be knocking holes in the wall looking for money.

No, ladies, at no point since 1980 has that ever been funny. :P

Why does then Man look so angry? You would think he would be happy about this.

Man is a stud!

OT: For All Creatures Great and Small Fans

Stud finders come in different types. One uses magnetism to sense nails; another kind uses ultrasound to detect a hard object behind the wall. What are these ladies looking for that makes them giggle so much? :)

(Note this is a joke. I don’t need any prosaic explanations. Amazing that people don’t read.)

Ah. I see. The Man is Studly Doright, Dudley’s smarter brother.

Nice, a flock of hens.

And clearly it’s not a stud finder. It’s a PKE meter. Calling Dr. Stanz

OT: Eliot

DUH DUH DUUUUUUUUH!
