Chapter: Our IX Lives
Characters: Angora Taggart, Bandit Chase, Brad, Burt, Dr. Mittens, Elvis, Kit Chase, Natasha, Paisley Nimble, Princess Taggart, Puck, Sweetheart Taggart
Oooo! The plot thickens. So great, I love it all. The colors are so vivid, too. Thank you Georgia.
Oh no, dr mittens is a baddie!
Considering that he was helping grandpa Taggart fake his illness and the way he was hitting on Angora, I’m not surprised.
Oops, correction, it was Princess he was hitting on.
*cue suspenseful soap opera music.*
As of now, after 39 years of loyalty to my folks,
I set off on my own, with roommates to seek my destiny.
The house deal fell through… But as I look to the sky from the hotel,
I see the Star of second chances. It has guided wanderers in search of hope
For centuries.. …. (what?? Had to repeat that quote hehe)
Wait, how does a Doctor have the right to lock someone up in Jail..? But oh my cat this is good. I love the female cats, especially the kitten. Dr. Mittens is a lousy Doctor. And Elvis, despite his complaints, watches the show anyway, is he coming around, perhaps? Looking foward to the continuation. Great job! 🙂
Oh my cat! Jail? Mental patient? I’m wondering if Bandit and Dr. Mittens are related. Only difference is the pattern of “the star of second chances” on Dr. Mittens forehead. I can’t wait to find out
I adore the look on Elvis’ face in the first panel!!!
I just love the story line. So well thought out. And the new colors are fantastic.
I am loving this Christmas soap opera story line–not least because I have a cat named Paisley!
I really like Brad’s Tyrone Power look.
Is Bandit carrying a pillow?
Jenna – Bandit is carrying his “CHiPs” style motorcycle helmet – with cat ears on!
And Dr Mittens isn’t quite the fool he had appeared to be. Gotta love Bandit.
Oh boy, the plot thickens indeed!! Can’t wait to see what happens next! And wow, the colors are really rich now, beautiful. I know you’d posted something about a change with the colors but wow, now Puck, Bandit and Dr. Mittens are a true black. Great job as always, Georgia, thanks for creating and sharing!
Wow. It just gets better and better. So many characters to keep up with. I got hooked on The Young and Restless once or twice. This is so much better!
love this series cant wait to see who follows the star the fastest
OMC, LOOOOOOOOOOOVE it!!! especially your star of 2nd chances!! Love how the bad guy Dr Mittens thinks she was mental, but the good guy Bandit thinks she was a cool girl. Elvis is getting sucked into it, against his will of course. Will Lupin make an appearance (I hope!) Even though he has very expressive eyes, I do miss Pucky’s mouth and eyebrows.
His eyebrows are there. They’re just a suggestion above his head. But yes, I loved that version of Puck. Of course, I love Pucky in any form. And Georgia has promised us blushes.
I love Elvis’s face in the 1st panel…😹😹😹
I wonder if Aunt Paisley is the “mental patient/cool girl locked in the jail cell” by Dr. Mittens . . . she didn’t say she was quoting anyone when she said, “. . in search of hope for centuries.” Oh my!
I wondered the same thing!
Star Guiding wanderers in search of hope for centuries……very appropriate message for a Christmas story!
Poor Elvis is just NOT digging this show at all. But I am. I hope it’s a happy ending for all good cats involved.
No worries. I know right will prevail. At least I hope so.
This is just way too sweet!
(ominous chord) DUN dun DUHHNNN….
Oooo! I love these twists!
I just love cat weddings.
Poor Elvis. He just want to go to work…But I love how invested the others are in the story. Will the other news cats and mice watch too? And is there a happy ending on tap? Awesome work as usual.
Didn’t the mice make off with the People’s smartphone last Christmas? For them, it’s a Large Screen TV. So I’m sure they’re watching it there. Beatrix and Trevor are watching in the bookstore. Isn’t Beatrix totally smitten with Kit Chase? And is Baba Mouse watching along with the other two mice?
Where’s Lupin? Is he watching on a closed-captioned TV or is he still on vacation?
Lupin appeared briefly in the 11/28 strip.
Love the kitten again – “one dress”.
I think the “one dress” will somehow figure in the plot. Sweetheart reminds me of another kitten…a certain polydactyl.
Please, please, Kit, you need to rescue Angora from her devious father Snowball, Dr. Mittens and That Guy Brad!
Georgia! THANK YOU! Love the soap opera! It has brought a smile to a very sad time. Lost my 16 year old Nala; had a fire, home less now – have a place to stay with friends (so blessed actually!); dog in kennel, second fur baby is with a friend, so need the joy . . . . . Love the new color of Puck! . . . .
Oh no, June! I am so sorry!! I hope things begin to turn around very soon!
Rebecka – it’s TV Soapland! Of course Doctors can lock up mental patients – if the plot demands it! 😉
Oh my word! The same message: hopeful in the first two, sinister in the third! The plot thickens! ::: corny electronic organ soap opera music plays suspensefully ::: (What’s the significance of the sisters wearing the same dress in different colors and the kitten pointing it out?)
In most states, a person can be taken into custody, restrained, locked up, and committed to a mental hospital (without their own consent) if two physicians certify that the person is insane ( i.e. is a clear and present danger to self and/or others). Dr. Mittens would need a colleague’s help (or do a bit of forgery) to lock up Paisley.
Where is Lupin?
Probably out adventuring.
May we have an lX Lives cast page someday? Would love to see the who is related to whom and what they have done all laid out together someday.
Loving this special!
Yes!! Definitely! I am about halfway through creating one, truth be told, and I meant to have it ready for this special! But, alas, I still have a few entries to finish. Soon, I hope!
I too love Elvis’ expression in the first panel, even though it is obviously a complete work of fiction. (I am sure the real-life Elvis never has an expression even close to that).
Also, like most men, I do not care for soap operas and do not have time for them, even in comics. So I am, of course, not reading this story line. Nope, definitely not. Although I should point out that Paisley and the cool girl in jail/mental patient are almost certainly the same person, anyone could guess that. And Sweetheart does seem to share many characteristics with another kitten we are all familiar with. (Attitude, if nothing else).
Finally, I must admit, I had my doubts about the inky black color, especially for Puck. Eyebrows are a key part of expressing emotion and black eyebrows on a black face would be invisible. But once again, we see that Georgia has made the right choice. Eyebrows and closed mouths can be highlighted in white and be wonderfully effective. (See the other black cats in today’s strip).
Actually, I never doubted you at all, Georgia. If you couldn’t find a way to make it work, you wouldn’t have done it. Believe it or not folks, she loves this strip at least as much as we do and she won’t do anything to mess it up. Have faith. Great news on the syndication. I had no doubts about that either.
Thank you!! This comment was a joy to read!
LOL. I thought he had a pillow under his arm!
One dress… *Dramatic gasp* The kitten is physic too!
Is the diamond pattern on Dr. Mittens a nod to the Suk doctors in Dune?
