Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 02, 2023

Admiral whisker’s whiskers are so cute!

I wonder how Freddie knew the “Captain”?

Love the expression in panel 3!

Love the eyelashes. Are they real or applied?

Wow, this so cool! So the 3 cats after Tilly who Freddie had as pets were all rescues of one sort or another. I bet Admiral Whiskers and Carl probably have amazing stories to tell as well. Hopefully we can hear about them in the future. Poor Jane, looks like she arrived at Freddie’s on April 3 and started her diary and then posted again on the 11th, now it is the 22nd and she is still under the bureau. Sophie must feel so connected with Lady Jane. Wonderful arc so far!

Yes, still in the “glad to have a place to live “ stage of the story. But soon we will see hints of the Terrible Secret.

I will let someone else do the transliteration tonight. We can take turns.

The Lady’s art is wonderful!

We who were puzzled the last two days could have saved our energy. Of course Georgia wouldn’t let us fall into a dark hole.

Does Lady Jane mean “rosey” or “rosy”?

Note the cat food served on a blue depression glass plate.

Isn’t there a Captain Whiskers on Our Nine Lives. Maybe one of the writers knew Winfred Quinn and put Captain Whiskers in as a character on Our Nine Lives in Tribute

1940s or 1910s

I’m reading this with a Downton accent in my mind…

Nice to know more about other members of the RCO team

The art here is absolutely gorgeous. Just truly stunning stuff and this story is truly heartwarming. I also love the design for Lady Jane now we can see it a bit clearer up close in the last strip.

As a heads up for anyone who dosen’t follow Georgia on twitter or instagram, if you go to either the BCN ingstagram or twitter (Or georgia’s twitter) for Hourly Comic Day she did a biographical comic following her day. Besides just being neat, you can also see some neat stuff since it’s based on a real day. As such Elvis is visably older, as are the children and their neat designs to see. Their’s also the really heartwrenching/heartwarming sight of Lupin’s ghost.

April 22nd: Each day feels a bit better. Freddie is nice. She visits the bureau and brings food. Yum!

I have met the other cats who live in this large, rosey(sic) home. Carl lived with a young neighbor of Freddie Quinn’s who went a big war and never came back.

Admiral Whiskers lived on a fishing boat as a “mouser” but he kept befriending the mice. The Captain said he was no sea cat. Freddie suggested he might make an excellent house cat.

Knowing everyone has a story, I feel less alone.

Me.

is it just me, or doesn’t that food left out look like donuts? and I love the press tag in Carl’s hat. a real throwback! Admiral Whiskers turned out to be more lap cat than attack cat. sounds like a big ball of cuddly fur!

Ha. Any cat who not eat mice make a terrible house cat. Why we has cat for primary reason to finish them vermin.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Beatrixia: We were able to find out a little bit about the Academy of Really Neat Stuff. It was quite prestigious. Today it is the Punn State University School of Really Neat Stuff. And still has quite a reputation.

Sophititi: Maybe we can pay the Alumni Office a visit. Do we know anyone from the University?

Bea: We have four distinguished alumni from the School of Cheesetaking.

Sometime Later

Bea: Thanks for the favor, ladies. We owe you four.

Agnes-Ata: No problem, Bea. We love an opportunity to visit our alma mater. You can return the favor by buying us ice cream at the Punn State Creamery.

Maat-Tilda: Did Elvis-Anum find out any more from Jamila’s diary? And how did it get sent to him in the first place?

Bea: Not sure. Let’s get some tea and scones and find out.

Well folks, I had to unplug the-Foggy Screen Alert Meter…it wouldn’t stop sounding, it fogged over and kept bursting into tears!

Everyone has a story. You just have to listen.

Lady Jane is left-handed like Georgia!

“A friend of Freddie Quinn’s who went to the Big War and never came back” and I burst into tears. I have no idea why this affected me so this morning, but I am just bawling here. Georgia pushed my baggage button big time today :(

Happy Groundhog DAY :D

Looks like Carl was another cat reporter – press tag in his hat

I am a little uncertain on the timeline. Would two long cat lives lead all the way back from the time of Baba Mouse to World War II? I suppose so. Lady Jane’s final statement really hits home for me. Sharing stories is the absolute best way to connect with anyone, it is one of my favorite things.

Georgia Dunn, you are amazing! This is a beautiful story and I can’t wait (but will) to see where you take us.

I see words of old

Drawings too

I hear Sophie read them

For me and you

And I think to myself

What a wonderful tale

I see cats Jane’s met

With eyes so bright

The light blessed way

Sophie found them tonight

And I think to myself

What a wonderful tale

The colors of cat etchings

So pretty of each waif

And the care expressed

So they all felt warm and safe

I see cats in shelter

As Freddie Quinn would do

Her way of saying

“I love you”

I heard Sophie cry

Now she’s aglow

Jane’s helped her more

Than she’ll ever know

And I think to myself

What a wonderful tale

Yes, I think to myself

What a wonderful tale

Ooh, yes

Is this not the greatest comic strip ever!

And the song of the day is “Where have all the flowers gone.” darn blurry screen.

OT:

My screen is getting very blurry, and it doesn’t do that very often.

The softness feel of the diary artwork is SO beautiful! … :)

No cursing:

First panel—"April 22 … Each day feels a bit better. Freddie is nice. Sh visits the bureau and leaves food. Yum!"

Second panel—"I have met the other two cats who live in this large rosey home. (¶) Carl lived with a young neighbor of Freddie Quinn’s who went to a big war and never came back."

Third panel—"Admirable Whiskers lived on a fishing boat as a “mouser,” but he kept befriending the mice. The Captain said he was no sea cat. Freddie suggested he might make an excellent house cat."

Fourth panel—"Knowing everyone has a story, I feel less alone. (Arrow down to picture.) Me."

:O

“He kept befriending the mice.” I love him. What a sweetheart. The Captain must have been a good person to rehome him so well.

I love this arc. It’s so good to learn Lady Jane’s story!

Screen’s fine, why are my glasses fogging up?

Ah, beautiful!

Oh, long long distance cuddles.

OT – TinyKittens in the news

Hey, everyone! I am writing a journal that will have studies on fictional supernatural creatures like in Gravity Falls. The journal will be about an anonymous author who travels around the world studying strange creatures that are known as “Superstition” I need ideas for creatures and places, any ideas?

Funny how everyone has a story.

A sad groundhog day in Quebec—their local predictor, Fred la marmotte, was found deceased in his burrow a few hours before his scheduled appearance today. Officials said perhaps Fred passed away late last year during hibernation. I suspect that maybe in future they won’t wait until last minute to check on the next Fred…

So DC and Bandit would be better sea cats then? Of course that is if the captain doesn’t mind the occasional dismemberment.

KLEENIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Lady Jane’s eyes are gorgeous, a beautiful golden yellow. The cast of her eyes is appropriate, lids slightly lowered as she concentrated on her thoughts (and probably disregarding the ink spots on her chin and left cheek. I had a cat we called Jane or Janie, but when she was a shade under a year old I snapped a photo of her sitting so regally in the window, looking down at me like I was a servant to be dismissed ‘cause she wanted her space we started calling her ’My Lady Jane’ when asked her name.

I wonder if the diary will cover the arrival of a young Scottish fold…

She’s left-pawed!!! I have that same superpower.
