She must be sure of returning since Hickory is going with her this time. Sure hope she’s not gone long….don’t want to leave the kids too long with Baba, family or not!
If the doctor(s) say you should reduce stress, Georgia, it’s perfectly all right if you suspend Swan Eaters for a while. We waited at a high point for, what, 2 years? We can wait some more, if that is necessary for you to get better enough to continue all of this for years to come.
See, it’s really selfish of us to want you to cut back.
Hello everyone! If you follow Breaking Cat News too, you may already know from the comments there that I had a bit of an awful health scare this week. I’m ok now, I’m on the mend, but I am still resting up. I’m sorry to take a break so soon after last week’s, but I’ve got to devote my attention to keeping Breaking Cat News current. I hope very much to have the next Swan Eaters strip ready soon, but resting up and then BCN’s strips have to come first at the moment. I thought about posting sketches, but would rather pause and give the next strip the attention it deserves!
The good news is at least we have a pretty decent “take a break” strip for this, thank you Olwen!
Again, I’m ok! (Not to get gross—I threw up in my sleep and it aspirated into my lungs… It’s been a real bad experience, but I was very lucky, I woke up, got my breath back in time, and I’m on antibiotics to prevent pneumonia from developing) I am resting up this week though to recover.
Not good – the illness and what happened. Take GOOD care of yourself, and don’t try to do too much… Our little family loves you and your family! – Sending kitty smooches and whisker bumps! <3
Not to be callous, but do we have an estimated date of return?? I’m in a country where we’ve been locked down for 4 months and, according to the government, have at least 2 more to go (no promises). I need something to look forward to!
I keep thinking of the fact that Georgia is holding down two full time jobs 24/7. Being a wife and mother to two small children who are being home schooled, plus a husband who I think works out of the home plus four cats and assorted rats, etc is definitely a full time job. Running a highly successful cartoon strip like BCN with a side of the etsy shop items for sale plus interviews, etc. That’s another full time job. Creating artwork isn’t just the actual physical work, it’s the thinking and planning and discarding ideas that almost work makes it a full time job. I recall that just before her illness, the last BCN story arc was The Woman taking a nap because she was exhausted. I think that tells us something. All of this adds up to me as the Swan Eaters is a luxury item, a gift to us and a suspect it maybe a long time before Georgia has the time and energy for it.
Yesterday in the comments section of Breaking Cat News, Georgia posted the following in response to somebody who asked when Swan Eaters would return.
“I hope soon—I hope to have an exact day in the next couple of weeks. When I got sick all the balls I was juggling hit the ground, and I had to get the BCN ones back in the air first. I hope to have Swan Eaters in the mid again soon, thank you for asking and enjoying Swan Eaters enough to ask!”
AAAAAAaaaaaagh! Waiting and waiting! Waiting and waiting! STILL waiting!
Please, Georgia! We really, really, really want you to get well and come on back to the Swan Eaters! Although I have to say, this past week with the ’Lepicons has been fabulous!
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I check to see if there’s a new strip, or at least an announcement about when Swan Eaters might return. Even the crickets have grown silent.
Georgia, hope you are doing well. Just want to say I am looking forward to seeing what happens next in Swan Eaters if you ever return to it. In the meantime, I am having a great time watching the BCN reporters. Thank you for making me smile every day.
A post from Georgia at BCN on 4/14/21 "I appreciate folks missing Swan Eaters and all of the warm wishes for my health! (And thankfully, I am through that infection—what a strange year health wise. Is anyone else falling apart in small, minor-medical ways? I’m very grateful it has not been anything more serious—I suspect the big changes to routine and stress of this year are to blame).
I want to get back to Swan Eaters so much, I hope to get there soon. The suggestion of Sundays actually terrific, even me just trying to tackle it one day a week feels like a more manageable starting point! Thank you for suggesting that, @rhexia!
@Sue Ellen, please don’t feel badly one bit, I read your comment very happily, like “yay!! She likes Swan Eaters so much!” That makes me very happy. It is a comfort to know it is missed! Swan Eaters is very much the stranger of my comics-children, lol, I am so happy when it is enjoyed! Thank you to everyone who said kind things around it and want to see it back! Hopefully soon!"
Last night I could hear a great horned owl in the trees on the far back of my little acre calling out his very distinctive hoo-h’HOO-hoo-hoo mating call. That’s the first time I’ve heard one in such a long time. The last time I actually saw one was back when I was in college. I had just pulled out of the driveway and was heading to a night class when I saw one with wings outspread alighting on a branch along the fence row of what is now a Christmas tree farm. It was too dark for me to see this one. I hope he finds a mate and they have a nest of owlets nearby! Maybe they will be descendants of Hickory.
I miss Olwen and the gang. Georgia, if trying to do both strips while raising two active, curious kids and herding four cats as well as The Man is just too much, that’s life, and I think we understand. But maybe a quick wrap or just an announcement?
Everyone here should follow the Breaking Cat News Facebook. Facebook locked her out of her Swan Eaters account. She made an update that she will probably continue in the fall.
Oh thank you! Facebook locked me out of my account as well, and so I can’t get into it at all. Not that, (with a few exceptions,) I’m a fan of FB. Anyway, good news about the fall! :)
If I die of old age before we find out whether Olwen survived the mission and was able to revive the missing, I will come back and join Freddie, Tillie and the RCO crew and haunt The Big Pink House! ☺
I miss Swan Eaters so much. I check in to see if Georgia has posted anything new. I’m dying to find out if Vesper and Wigglesworth can be saved. And Pilot has grown up so handsome and strong.
The Fall makes sense even though it’s a looong way aways. That’s when the children will return to school. I suspect having to supervise distance learning at home has been eating up a lot of her time.
I know I’m nagging, but Georgia, can you please give us an update? A glimmer of hope? If you don’t feel up to painting the rest of the story, can you at least tell us how it ends? Please!
Same here. I know it’s been a long time, but I have faith Georgia’s coming back. This strip was on hiatus for a full seven years, yet it came back just as good if not better than the earlier strips. If Georgia does decide it is time to end Swan Eaters I understand, but I really feel she will come back.
Just missing Swan Eaters and thinking October would be an awesome time to restart! Hoping all is well with Georgia- I don’t do social media, so I wouldn’t know she posted anything unless someone said something here. Will continue checking in and hope Olwen, Hickory and the gang continue on their adventures. Happy Fall, y’all!
One of Georgia’s real-life main character cats has newly diagnosed heart disease. He is going to need a lot of monitoring for a while to get his medications right—this can be a tricky phase. So, I doubt that the Hawkers’ story is going to get restarted anytime soon.Hang in there Lupin!
Hello!! I’m opening up my Etsy shop today November 19th for an originals sale at 5pm eastern/2pm pacific time! You can find it here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GeorgiaDunnStudio It is not open at the moment, but I will activate it later at 5pm eastern/2pm pacific and a selections of 26 original daily strips, 4 Sundays, 2 full pages of dailies, many BCN painting of various sizes, some prints, and even a few Swan Eaters original strips will be available for purchase!
(And yes!! I promise I will finish Swan Eaters one day! I miss it too. I’m hoping to write some new strips in 2022!)
Just checking in to see about Swan Eaters. I do miss SE, but am so glad BCN is going on in the meantime. Lupin’s appointment was yesterday and hope Georgia Dunn will post how he’s doing. And now with this new variant – I wonder how that’ll affect schools and whether kids will have to go back to school by computer again? Hope not but that’s a lot to have to handle for a family and work on both BCN and SE. Whenever and am wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year’s. Maybe this time next year things will be better. Toe beans crossed!
I’ve pretty much given up hope we’ll ever see the resolution to this story. If Georgia doesn’t have the time or energy to continue, I wish she would at least tell us how she had planned for it to end.
I believe Georgia will come back, though it might be a while before she can. Her cat Lupin (one of the BCN reporters) has heart disease and supposedly only a year left to live. Georgia posted this on BCN a few weeks ago. She posted more details on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CXrK0YpPC7L/
“Lupin has the most common form of heart disease in cats, Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. It is likely genetic in his case. (Burt would add, worth an Internet search. Medical sites explain it better than I could.)
There are stories of cats living longer, and there are sadder stories—I’m so grateful right now for every day with Lupin, whatever his timeframe could be. This is Lupin. He is a tiny daredevil. He could always still smash the Christmas tree through the window or chew through an electrical cord just because, lol. A year could actually be the best case scenario! Whatever is to come, he is happy and comfortable right now. Even overnight, I think the new meds are making a positive difference. Whatever time he has, he will make it count and we will take good care of him to keep him happy, comfortable, and safe."
What a memory….glad we have Cat News still (4/22). This was a really promising strip; but if her life is like any normal one, doing a 7 day strip like BCN has to be punishing, especially if you want to have any other life.
Georgia’s final strip was January 25, 2021, 19 days after the insurrection attempt in Washington. If it has taken that long for Congress with all their resources, to share the results of their investigation into that event, Georgia’s hiatus suddenly doesn’t seem so long.
Somewhat appropriate to the strip given what was taking place in the world during the time period Swan Eaters is set in. 82 years ago this month Nazi Germany began planning the second Operation Otto. 82 years ago this December Operation Otto would be renamed. And 81 years ago this past June 22, the renamed Operation Otto would be launched. The new name, Operation Barbarossa. And we know how Barbarossa has been affecting Olwen, Clover, Salem, Pilot, Ivan, and the rest of the family, especially as it has brought in Hemlock.
Well, since the strip is taking place during WWII, on this day:
1942 – U.S. Marines raid the Japanese-held Pacific island of Makin.
1943 – The U.S. Eighth Air Force suffers the loss of 60 bombers on the Schweinfurt–Regensburg mission.
1943 – The U.S. Seventh Army under General George S. Patton arrives in Messina, Italy, followed several hours later by the British 8th Army under Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, thus completing the Allied conquest of Sicily.
1943 – First Québec Conference of Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and William Lyon Mackenzie King begins
Good news! I asked Georgia on Twitter if she’d be restarting this comic, and she’s currently trying to get a buffer so she can run the strips even when Life Happens. It may not be as soon as we’d like (hop into a TARDIS and begin posting again nine months ago), but there is an end, or perhaps I should say a new beginning, coming.

1942 – Commanded by General Erich von Manstein, the German Armeegruppe Don was formed in southern Russia in order to relieve the trapped German 6th Army at Stalingrad, Russia.
1943 – US Navy fighter Ace “Butch” O’Hare disappeared during a night fighter combat test involving a radar equipped TBF Avenger aircraft leading three Hellcat fighters into an interception position. It was suspected that he might have been shot down by a TBF gunner.
1944 – Intelligence officer Captain Fritz Ringwald of USAAF 415th Night Fighter Squadron reported that the Beaufighter flown by Don Meiers and Ed Schleuter was chased by unidentified “foo fighters”, which was a term coined by Meiers.
1944 – Richard O’Connor stepped down as the commanding officer of VIII Corps and was made the commanding officer of Eastern Command in India.
1944 – A V-2 rocket impacted on Teniers Square, Antwerp, Belgium, as an Allied military convoy was passing through. The explosion killed 157 persons, including 29 Allied soldiers.
I love this non-site. No comic, just hopeful fans. I check in once every couple of months to see what’s happenin. Latest I know of Georgia hasn’t forgotten Swans, but is in to busy a season of life to give it the time it deserves. We stalwart few will keep watch!
I don’t know when, but it will happen: Georgia promised and I believe her! One of the reasons I like it is because it shows she has a breadth of talent – this is far edgier than BCN, but just as fun and addictive:)
Fond greetings, Olwen! Hope you’re well and kicking all sorts of derriere on your adventure. Miss you and and am keeping a very warm and snuggly place in my heart for you and yours.
I missed yesterday as the second anniversary of the current hiatus. Today we could begin singing three hundred sixty-five bottles of beer on the wall. But I really don’t feel like that.
I know that life happens and BCR is wonderful and takes all your time. I still come back here and reread this fairly frequently though. I’d love even just a post wrapping it up with no illustration. I’ve grown to love these characters and would love some closure with them.
Georgia, even if it’s only once a month, will you please bring this story to its conclusion before I die of old age? I’m 71 years old and longevity does not run in my family!
I figured it out. On the recent adventure to another plane the adventurers were gone a short time from our perspective, a few years from their perspective. This adventure will take but a short time to them, and years to us.
I just remembered one of the magic spells Olwen taught Clover was how to change her age. I wonder if she will have to briefly revert back to her 5-year-old self to convince her parents she’s her when/if they return to them.
For those who don’t follow Breaking Cat News, Georgia Dunn had surgery on her “drawing” hand. GoComics will show repeats of selected past comics until she is able to resume her artwork. That is sure to cause further delay for her return to Swan Eaters. Sending her best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Now here’s a thought! The current newpaper format of BCN would be ideal for a segway back into Swaneaters. Could be letters from Grandma intercepted by the Enemy or even letters amongst the family?
Guess it’s time for another confident post that Swan Eaters will return someday, even if it takes another 7 years (but hopefully not that long). Georgia did discuss the possibility of having weekly Sunday updates at one point, so maybe she will give that a try someday.
Given all that has happened since this series went on hiatus, I’m not giving up, because I don’t think Georgia has either. But then again, I’m not holding my breath.

I believe Georgia will come back, though it might be a while before she can. Her cat Lupin (one of the BCN reporters) has heart disease and supposedly only a year left to live. Georgia posted this on BCN a few weeks ago. She posted more details on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CXrK0YpPC7L/
“Lupin has the most common form of heart disease in cats, Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. It is likely genetic in his case. (Burt would add, worth an Internet search. Medical sites explain it better than I could.)
There are stories of cats living longer, and there are sadder stories—I’m so grateful right now for every day with Lupin, whatever his timeframe could be. This is Lupin. He is a tiny daredevil. He could always still smash the Christmas tree through the window or chew through an electrical cord just because, lol. A year could actually be the best case scenario! Whatever is to come, he is happy and comfortable right now. Even overnight, I think the new meds are making a positive difference. Whatever time he has, he will make it count and we will take good care of him to keep him happy, comfortable, and safe."

Georgia’s final strip was January 25, 2021, 19 days after the insurrection attempt in Washington. If it has taken that long for Congress with all their resources, to share the results of their investigation into that event, Georgia’s hiatus suddenly doesn’t seem so long.

Somewhat appropriate to the strip given what was taking place in the world during the time period Swan Eaters is set in. 82 years ago this month Nazi Germany began planning the second Operation Otto. 82 years ago this December Operation Otto would be renamed. And 81 years ago this past June 22, the renamed Operation Otto would be launched. The new name, Operation Barbarossa. And we know how Barbarossa has been affecting Olwen, Clover, Salem, Pilot, Ivan, and the rest of the family, especially as it has brought in Hemlock.

Good news! I asked Georgia on Twitter if she’d be restarting this comic, and she’s currently trying to get a buffer so she can run the strips even when Life Happens. It may not be as soon as we’d like (hop into a TARDIS and begin posting again nine months ago), but there is an end, or perhaps I should say a new beginning, coming.

Upon that night, when fairies light,
On Cassilis Downans dance,
Or owre the lays, in splendid blaze,
On sprightly coursers prance;
Or for Colean the rout is ta’en,
Beneath the moon’s pale beams;
There, up the Cove,to stray an’ rove,
Amang the rocks and streams
To sport that night;

An’ haud their Halloween
