    Whew, we may finally have our intern!!

    I also want to announce here in case folks are not on FB or Twitter, the Etsy shop is back open for a bit! It’s a good chance to get a signed print, if you’ve ever wanted one!

      Georgia,

      Etsy says you’re on vacation. Did you open and close before I got there?

        I did! I’m sorry. We sold 70 prints in 2.5 days!! We had to shut the shop down again so we could keep up, and devote enough time and care to those orders without getting sloppy or getting overwhelmed. We will open it again, I have been thinking about opening it once a month for a few days?

    You know you’ve made it as an official comic when you reference something that your audience will need to back a few ‘issues’ to catch. :p

    Is your Puck a great climber, even with just three legs?

    • Georgia Dunn
      March 24, 2016, 12:17 pm | # | Reply

      He is! This is taken from real life. Puck is actually the best climber of the three boys! He can even climb arcade cabinets! (Which the Man has a couple of).

        That makes sense. Never arm wrestle a person with less than two functioning legs. Puck’s forelegs must have gotten very powerful through compensation.

        Now, what will the new intern do on the news team?

        Oh, and many thanks for the subtitles, as I don’t speak Spanish, and my Latin is too rusty to figure it out.

        My late Malachi was a climber. He ended up with me because he had badly broken his hind left leg at the hock. One time, while he was still wearing his cast and metal brace thingummy, I found him on top of a tall speaker, on top of a hutch desk, about to try and climb on top of a tilting painting.

        I have to admit I love that you named the new kitten Beatrix. She looks like a combination of my Beatrix, and my late Madison, who was polydactyl. Though her personality is more like Misha’s.

          All of ours have been climbers except one (Zulump). We call them our Tenzing Nor-cats (After the Tibetan mountain climber, Tenzing Norgay.)

        My late Christopher was missing one of his front legs, but boy could he jump! I had to keep an eye on him at times, because he would jump on something higher than the other cats would.

    Tommy’s mug has an umbrella in it. Tabitha drinks from a GN water bottle. Tabitha is looking very stylish in her work out gear. Puck and his lederhosen continue to be awesome.

    Looks like the internship is assured. The best way to get Elvis to do something is for Tabitha to threaten to do it first.

    And Puck’s sage advise to wrap it up? Wonderful.

    Huh, I always assumed Lupin was the best climber with the pictures of him on that dragon on the wall or being in cabinets and such.

      He climbs the most often/most regularly, but Puck climbs the highest/furthest/into the craziest places. 🙂

      Elvis climbs occasionally, when the whim takes him.

    I know you’ve probably already decided where Bea’s gonna find her own People, but I sure hope she stays with the boys. Going with the Ceiling People would be good and keep her close to her brudders/uncles, but I wanna see her stay where she IS, dangit! She’s so happy and they’re all so cuuute together! …Am I getting a bit too invested in this?

    Something I started wondering about on Monday – where are they getting Bea’s outfits? She came wearing her romper and winter gear, but where’s the pink tracksuit from?

    She’s obviously learned some wisdom already. She doesn’t simply go tell Puck “I won!” Instead she asks him “How can I get as good as you?”

    I have a confession to make. I’ve been reading and loving this comic since the first installment, but it wasn’t until last week that I read the character bios. Then I had to go back and look and… all this time, Puck has only had three legs! I will never be another Sherlock Holmes with my sorry powers of observation. Sigh…

    and the woman’s reaction to all those pin prick holes in her washing? It would have been fun to have her fuming in the background while the kitteah’s are congratulating themselves. I had to pay $$$$ to replace the mosquito netting on the windows after the last “let me out and get those squirrels” climbing contest.

      That’s what I thought Elvis was doing too. But yesterday Georgia tweeted that he is actually signing “some day”. I believe she said she tucked it in because they aren’t in the studio with a teleprompter for Lupin to read.

    Just as in the previous strip, I love the long shot of Beatrix climbing with the adult cats – it highlights just how small she is. It’s just so cute!

    Still, my favorite panel is of Puck in his lederhosen, eating his sandwich, watching with his binoculars. I also have a question about something in this panel – is that a compass off to the side, by his walking stick and satchel?

    Also, Sophie languidly draping her tail over the news desk. She does not lack for confidence, does she ? Too bad there is no Kit Chase in her life-would love to see her swooning over his eye patch. On second thought, that might be cruel to Tommy.

    Elvis in panel 9: the look is “You keep your paws off my daughter!”

    Georgia, I want to thank you for going to all the trouble to do this. You bring a smile to my life. I’m an old man, with disabilities, whose children have all grown up and left home so it is just my wife and I and our 3 furry babies, one of whom is sleeping on my lap. Your work brings me a quiet joy and peace.
