BREAKING CAT NEWS is a webcomic about the creator’s three cats who do the news from her house. Except, you know, they’re cats. What I mean by that is, they’re not doing the news on the level of say, a human would. They only do stories that really appeal to cats in this particular house and from a very cat perspective. So the kind of news they cover is “What’s in a box?”, “There’s a spider on the ceiling”, “the man is opening a can of something” and “the woman is making the bed”. It’s pretty hilarious, especially if you own or owned a cat.
The cats don’t understand the humans, so they are often frustrated by their various news stories. Like “Cats everywhere have been locked out of the bedroom”. I read through the archive and I couldn’t stop. It’s impossibly cute as well, with cats in little suits, holding tiny microphones with a “CN” (Cat News) logo. I’m pretty sure I could read this comic every day and so should you.
When it comes to comedy, I have a very high bar, but I laughed through every one of these strips. Unless you’re a soulless automaton bent on world destruction, you’re going to love BREAKING CAT NEWS. Read it.
