What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBiogirl MJ is the online name of Singaporean science communicator Kong Man Jing, and her cat Qwerty co-stars in her comic books for young readers, The Straits Times reports.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIn book one, the unusually low tide is a mystery. Qwerty says a tide ghost did it, and the scientist knows the real cause.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA ghost. The scientist has the data. The cat has the building.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLook at this, file footage, not Qwerty, but an orange tabby on a patio, in slow motion, going for a puddle.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWatch the head drop, then the lapping. And that splash on lap three is the cat saying, no comment, I'm busy.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorRun it back. I want to see the splash again.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentViral Score: eight, because that puddle is clearly the low tide, and the cat is drinking the evidence.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA review calls her Professor Qwerty, as she prefers. The ghost has not yet commented.
