Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 01, 2022

Which ghost kitty is asleep in the fourth panel?

It is haunted! There’s Angus taking a nap

The Woman was Davy enough to put the chair against the plaster to ( maybe) stop Lupin.. But could that be pricey antique furniture in the hidden rooms? Nah….probably not.

“Chair there to deter Lupin.” Yeah. Good luck with that.

BoCH alert! (Back of Cat Head).

And ghost cats! Hi, Angus!

Antique road show.

That house must be huge if each floor has 2-3 extra rooms, and nobody noticed. And The Woman, who was complaining about needing more space, isn’t interested in finding more space. (Insert sexist “joke” here.)

Antique furniture that can be sold for funding?

Lupin, smart money’s on you to break through.

“The ghost clock struck one and the other escaped with minor injuries.”

That furniture is cursed. Unveil it at your peril.

Double the tenants?

Hi Carl!

Detective Lupin will get in the door. It’s clearly an open and shut case…

Well I know I would HAVE to see what’s in there. Free antique furniture and more space, what’s not to like. AND I’ve dealt with ghosts before so no biggie.

OMC, is the People’s apartment about to get a new bedroom AND a second toilet?! Huzzah!♥

I love a haunted clock!

Ooh! Show us more!

Carl looks dead tired…

Time to flip the page on our BCN calendars. Tommy toe beans! Burt toe beans! And there’s a woolly bear caterpillar, too. Oh and Pucky, the leaves have started falling again.

2 or 3 rooms? Like a room for each kid and one for a home office?

Not just ghost furniture…

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Louie-Nour: Sorry about this, guys. Reflex action.

Elvis-Anum: Well the thwump isn’t! Thanks Lupinium.

Lupinium: Hey, it’s what I do. Just like the shoutmunks shouting.

Wally: Hopefully Packer can fix this when he returns.

Packer Returns

Packer: Back again, guys. I have a jar of Thomios’ patented Odorless Organic Power Scrub. Guaranteed to clean up any mess.

Elvis-Anum: We have a patent office?

Lupinium: Bea really thinks of everything.

Louie-Nour: Well, I made this mess. I should clean it up.

Lupinium: No, it was my fault. I should do it.

Packer: It’s part of an apprentice’s job to clean up messes.

Enter Maat-Tilda

Tillie: While you guys were arguing, Adobe Style and I cleaned up the mess. Now I think there is a chair to be designed?

The ghosts are back! The description of ghost furniture highly amuses me, and that’s all my grad school self can focus on. Show us the old furniture! Also, the People must not like that chair much to put it in the way of a curious Lupin.

Pucky white floof patch!

I still find absurd that a whole part of the house was closed forever just because someone don’t like it.

Between the mice and Lupin, that wall doesn’t stand a chance!

Completely off topic: Yesterday I got my insurance agent’s license. I should get my agent ID today or tomorrow. My training is almost finished, we’ve been told we’re in the final phase. Then comes job shadowing for a week or so, then I will be shadowed by my trainer, and then I’ll be selling on my own. Fellow orbsters, this second career for me at age 67 has given me a new lease on life. I am pumped and excited and enjoying every minute of it!

SPOILER ALERT!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

In the coming days a movie director will drive by and see the Pink House and love the architecture of the building. He will negotiate a deal to lease the hidden addition as the backdrop for his new movie project about a deranged motel keeper run by him and his “Mother.” The motel keeper is also a peeping tom in his spare time watching women shower in their rooms. The deranged motel keeper will stab a pretty girl to death, in the shower of course, not knowing that she has stolen $40,000 to be with her boyfriend. After a creepy dinner with the motel keeper the woman goes to her room, not knowing she is being watched, and relaxes before taking the last shower of her life.

From there the mystery ensues, a tangled web of intrigue, lies and cross dressing. In the final scene the motel keeper’s “Mother” personality was pathologically jealous of motel keeper. When the motel keeper met embezzler, he felt a strong attraction to her. That attraction set off the jealous “Mother,” and it was “Mother” who killed embezzler— and most likely, other women before her.

In a locked and guarded room, the physical shell of the motel keeper sits unmoving as "Mother"’s voice dominates his mind. She wants to prove to the world how harmless she is by sitting completely still. A fly crawls on motel keeper’s hand and he doesn’t swat at it, simply smirks as the voice of Mother’s personality gloats that everyone must see that she wouldn’t even harm a fly.

The movie is a big success, rakes in a mound of money and is considered a cinematic classic. The trust fund is healthy replenished, the Pink House is not sold and everyone lives happily ever after.

As for the movie director, when leaving the set of this movie for the last time, he sees a giant flock of bird in a field attacking a dead animal, and has an idea for a new movie about birds attacking humans.

I spy…a ghost cat with a mustache!

Well, we know one thing. That clock hasn’t been striking the hour all this time, or everyone in this house would have been outta there!

“You’re going to need a bigger chair.” – Martin Brody, probably

You’d think Tillie would be watching the mice more closely.

I have four grand daughters. None of them like brown furniture or yellow gold or diamonds. Gold and diamonds have blood on them, from 100years ago. I have my niece a mourning cameo from where a great aunt lost her fiance in the Mexican American war. It was conch shell. She thought it was morbid.

oooooo It stopped at the exact moment that the clock died! oooooooo ooooooo

Hickory Dickory Dock.

The mouse ran up the clock.

And Buflogal smiled happily.

Come on, Lupin!

♪"Break on through to the other side

Break on through to the other side

Break on through to the other side, yeah"♫

Ghost furniture with a ghost cat sleeping on it.

Deterring Lupin is a mug’s game.

Looks like an auction of all these goodies will add to the coffers to keep Big Pink open!

Angus? Is that Angus I spot in the upper right corner of the final panel?

Halloween setup?

Lupin’s undies!!!!

OT: Update from my mom

VERY nice rhyme at the end there!
