    Hmmm. I bet this woman has never said a word about cat shows before she snatched Sophie, and I (and possibly this man) suspect that a week from now, comic time, she’ll never say a word about them again.

    An ANGRY Burt. I can only imagine the kind of eternal pain he could inflict if provoked. Well, he’s been provoked, and he has Gutter and some motivated (also angry) Robber Mice to send in. The A-Team has got nothing on this bunch!

    i keep wondering why they have such intense security. is it to keep people out or to keep someone in? maybe the woman has dementia or alzheimers and wanders off??? that might also explain her being so clueless? and the husband seems to be humoring her like it’s just another tangent she’s going off on.

    My best guess? After so many years, the husband just goes along with the wife’s whims. Who knows how many other things have caught (and lost) her interest? The pristine (as I commented the other day – not “lived in” looking) house – not sure if the furniture is white or if its furniture covers – everything it its place, and her (ahem) acquisition of Sophie make me think it’s all about appearances, and taking pleasure in things, not other people or life experiences. As for the security system, probably lives in distrust of others – that they will take what she has – which is ironic since she took something that belongs to someone else! My best hope: that the husband will be the hero and do the right thing (take her to the vet, return her to her rightful home).

    An Encore Presentation of a post from October 27, 2022

    Based on a Short Story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman: The Yellow Wallpaper

    Scene: The year is 1892. A large, kinda decrepit mansion in the middle of nowhere. Enter a young woman (Jane) and her husband, an up and coming doctor (John) with their infant daughter.

    John: Here we are dear. Now you’ll have a chance to recover from your bout with hysteria.

    Jane: It’s called postpartum depression. At least it will be in about a hundred years from now.

    John: I’ve arranged to have you stay in the attic. You are to do nothing. No writing, no creativity, no thinking. And my sister Jenny is here to take over the care of our lovely daughter.

    Jane: Great. Weeks and weeks of sheer boredom. This has got to be the most hideous room imaginable. What’s up with this wallpaper?

    John: Don’t worry. Just rest and let me do the thinking for the both of us.

    Time passes

    Jane: I’m glad I sneaked in my notebook and pen. (Writing)

    Dear Diary, what a day it’s been. Dear Diary, it’s been just like a dream…

    Jane: Now I’m imagining there’s a woman concealed in the pattern of this lousy wallpaper and chipping it off the wall. Oh wait, there is a woman here. Who are you?

    Woman: Oh, hi. I’m Alicia. My family owns this place.

    Jane: What are you doing here?

    Alicia: This room has been driving me crazy. Who wants to live in a room with barf yellow wallpaper?

    Jane: Let me help you. I’ve nothing else to do.

    That’s right, Burt! Use their own security against them. Then the rescue team can swoop in amidst the chaos. We have also almost made it long enough for the July Bug to play a role, so that will be fun.

    Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

    At the Afar Public Library and Café Lunchtime

    Iggy: This toasted cheese sandwich and tomato soup is delicious. I remember when I was a sailor cooking was not encouraged on board the ship.

    Beatrixia: What did you eat?

    Iggy: We had a lot of dried fish, pickled veggies, that sort of thing. And my cousin Ziggy was an expert navigator and knew how to guide us to ports where we could obtain provisions.

    Beaver Lee Cleary: We have many cook scrolls in the library. You should check out Julia Kitten’s Mastering the Art of Gallic Cooking, Betty Cooker’s Cooking While On Board a Ship, and The Better Pyramids and Greenery Cook Scroll to name just a few.

    Violet-Ifa: Definitely we need to do some cooking research. But we need to go back to find out what happened to Sophititi’s descendant.

    Ta-Natash: Actually, my family has a legend that has been obscured in futurity about a daring rescue from a well-meaning but completely wacko person.

    Bea: Then that’s where we’ll concentrate our search.

    Tash: Onward and upwards!

    Vi: To futurity and beyond!

    A friend gave me a marmalade tabby kitten when she had to move. I caught a little girl carrying her off one day and retrieved her. I had to go on a trip. When I got back, she was gone. My catsitter said he didn’t know I had a third cat (not a real observant guy). I knew what had happened to her but had no idea where to look. I hope the little girl took good care of her.

    I have been thinking maybe they should do some controlled mess and spell out messages like “Her name is Sophie and she already has a home”. Though I don’t know if the animals can actually leave messages that people can see or understand.

    Christopher Saint Booth and Philip Adrian Booth: Ulterior Motives

    Something in your eyes makes me realize

    It’s not what it seems

    Though you seem to smile I’m detecting guile

    There is some scheme

    …….

    You think that you are being wise

    But you’re believing your own lies

    …….

    All the cats know it: you’ve got ulterior motives

    Tell us the truth

    Burt’s monitor shows it: you’ve got ulterior motives

    We’ve all become wise, you believe a lie

    …….

    We know you have your dreams, but it somehow seems

    You have no clue

    You should find out that there are many cats

    Who do need you

    …….

    Sophie has no need to roam

    She already has a loving home!

    …….

    All the cats know it: you’ve got ulterior motives

    Tell us the truth

    Burt’s monitor shows it: you’ve got ulterior motives

    We’ve all become wise, you believe a lie!

    Everyone knows that you’ve got ulterior motives

    Please learn the truth

    We all love our cat!

    Do not believe the lie!

    Background: Ulterior Motives is a song that was recently rediscovered on the Internet as a 17-second clip. For several months it was debated what the exact words were, and who wrote it. Finally it came to light that two brothers had written the song in the 80s. They tried to release it as a pop song, but needing money they licensed it to a friend to use in an adult film he produced.

    Many years ago….. I worked for a TV repair place. We get to a house, much like this one, snow white carpet everywhere etc. This was before the little booties they have now. The woman insisted we take off our shoes. I told her that we’d be happy to do so while we diagnose her set, it was a 40 inch tabletop TV, but if we had to take it with us there was no way we could carry it in our stocking feet. Of course she scrunched her face up the way people of money that seldom get told no like to do. I quickly told her though that I had some nice, clean quilts we use to wrap items in to protect them and i’d be happy to lay them down along our path. Truth is, we never want to make a mess. Even in a jerks home. I could see that she was appeased by the fact that we would have to do more than normal for her. We just waited until we got down the road to make fun of her. If I remember, it was a fairly easy repair. Just not one you could do in a home. Our boss was a great guy, but he’d have gone ballistic if someone took that kind of a chance. He’d have loved having those booties though. So would I! And a Mobile phone and sat nav as well. We did have great maps though.

    What breed is Sophie? Being beautiful, which she is, doesn’t make her “show quality.” Breed standards are weird and often counterintuitive. We have a “pet quality” BSH. She’s gorgeous as far as we’re concerned but she’s not a show cat. We’re glad she isn’t.

    Georgia posted on facebook “For everyone feeling anxious or frustrated about this part of the story, I hear you and I promise (spoilers, but not spoilers because it’s BCN) it’s going to turn around and be a lot of fun soon!!…Also, if it’s any comfort, the Girl is similarly very frustrated with me and just following me around the house the past couple of weeks yelling at me “I need to know what happens to Sophie, WRITE FASTER!!” We have reached the age where THE COMMENTS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE She comes into my studio to read the roughs of the week and occasionally gives some notes of her own. She actually gave two huge notes for this story arc that I’m already really grateful for, I’ll talk about them once the story is over. The Boy also reads my roughs sometimes and a Sunday strip is coming with that was his suggestion and he’ll be credited beside the signature for the idea!”
