It appears that under the bureau has been a busy place throughout the years. Not only Sophie and Lady Jane, but Tillie, Angus , Alice, (Baba) Mouse and even Dr. Scuttles have all left their mark.
Awwww all the little signs of previous cats.. and one angry turtle. But it’s sweet to see her join the gang. Now to see how she adjusts over these coming weeks. Or we pivot to something else though given two little ones still need to be formally adopted i’d be okay with that.
Beautiful art as always, Sophie! It is hard to pick between Mouse and Tillie for favorite signature. I also love the statement that Angus was here once. I feel like there might be a story behind the one time Angus was under the bureau. What was he doing?
Dr. When: Hello, friends. And welcome Royal Procurers. Will you be doing another cheesetaking seminar soon?
Violet-Ifa: Yes, during spring semester. But we’re here to find out about two of your alumni from long ago, Jamila and Maew.
Dr. When: Ah, yes. They were here before The School of Really Neat Stuff was part of the University. Ah, here we are.
Beatrixia: What can you tell us?
Dr. When: Let’s see. Maew married the Siamese ambassador to the kingdoms of Afar and Away. Our last address has her and her husband retired and living in an estate in Afar.
Elvis-Anum: I was at their house called when I was a kitten. Maybe we can pay a visit.
Dr. When: Even easier. I understand they’re here for the homecoming game. You can try the VIP seats.
At the Stadium
Elvis-Anum: There they are! Nana and Poppy!
Maew: Elvis-Anum! Is that you? I haven’t seen you since you went to sea!
Elvis: I’m the Royal Scribe at the Court of Egypt now. These are my friends and colleagues. Everyone, my Nana and Poppy Maew and Than!
Introductions
Ora Z: And I’m Little O, don’t ya know!
Maew: I just love tortie kittens. I wish I had their energy.
Elvis: The reason we’re here is I got a papyrus from your old friend Jamila. She wants to see you, but I’m not sure where she is now.
Than: The last we hear she was designing for a pyramid between here and Egypt.
Lovely story arc. But I have to ask: where did Sophie get the paper, ink, and tape to leave her message? Does the Magic Cat Closet just appear where and when it is needed?

Even Dr. Scuttles wandered under there at least once!

A quote such as that deserves to be immortalized in art!

Team Scuttles! I wished I’d cut that one out, it makes me laugh every time I see it.

Are those dust bunnies from under the bureau that Sophie is brushing off herself?

Love the dust bunnies around Sophie in Panels 2 and 3!

There’s that fancy “S” again… “Mou$e” – You don’t suppose that’s Baba Mouse? (aka “Baby Mouse” to the ghosts in the Halloween strips?)

They all seem to have left their mark under the bureau. so much love from all the kitties.

Scratched into the bottom of the bureau: mouSe, Angus was here once, Alice, Tillie.
There is a business card from Dr. Scuttles.
The diary’s cover reads, The diary of Lady Jane
Sofie’s note says, I hope this brings you Comfort & Courage! – Lady Jane ♥️Sophie

Sorry, I know someone else had called dibs on it, but I was awake, the comic had changed over and the translation was available.

To me, Mouse’s name carved into the bottom of the bureau has a “rocker” flair. Was she a fan of Def Leppard in her wild youth?

I was hoping Sophie would leave something behind for the next cat. I’m so glad she did.

What happened to Sophie’s eye? I don’t remember reading that story. I’m sure at least one of you has the link.

Baba Mouse was a cool kitty who knew how to draw the “Cool S” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_S

Our Ms Ulka loved being under the dresser when she could fit. 3 inch clearance in front. Now she gets on top and hides behind a lamp.

Atta girl Sophie, pass it on! Many of us need encouragement to get out of dark places-

I still hope Sophie will meet Lady Jane person to spirit. Maybe for Halloween?

Look at all the cats who have been here. But one of them smells reptilious.

Is the “MouSe” a tribute to a certain graphic novel?
