Grrrrr...

Flickr is having a massage* at the moment, but once it's over there will be a few more cats.
This picture was posted in response to Xadrian's recent meme detecting skills over on Drawn.ca.



*probably being performed by some sort of robot. Switches and routers require nothing less.

If this doesn't make you hungry for chocolate

NOTHING WILL!
Neatorama.com has more info on this video. There was a rumor that it was actually Phil Collins in a gorilla suit, but NO!

Even cats enjoy the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #223


Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #223

I was pretty sure there would be more cat cartoons tonight. Boy was I wrong! Several have been penciled, awaiting a fresh delineation of inky black ink.
Watch this space tomorrow for a heaping helping of Kitteh and Pip.

Sea Witch!

There's also an interview with me here.
I'm honored to be among such awesome artists.

This is a close up?

Perfect for any decor

Rory, a long time supporter of the hobo and monkey related arts, sends along this picture. See, they really are suitable for framing. If you have a picture of something I've sent you, send it along or post it to flickr and let me know about it.
A couple of things:
I really should think about some sort of Pip fan club, as has been suggested in the comments here and elsewhere.
Also, mark your favorite Laugh-Out-Loud Cats cartoons over on the flickr set, and at the end of this week I'll make the top ten into shirts and stuff over on Zazzle.
And finally, thanks again for visiting. This is pretty much one of the awesomest things I've ever been involved with, and it wouldn't be anything without you people.
There will be more cartoons up soon.

Hi everybody!

No cats today...

Sorry. There will be some tomorrow, and maybe the ever-elusive #200.
In the meantime, enjoy YOU WILL GO TO THE MOON.
And to answer the most recent question posted in the comments wondering if some sort of familial relationship between Kitteh and Pip will be revealed in #200: NO! It's about ducks!*
Good night all.


*not to belabor the point, but over on flickr someone expressed concern with the rough handling ducks** have been receiving in the comic. I don't condone duck throttling any more than Hagar's creator encourages the sacking of London.
**No actual ducks have been harmed in the creation of the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats comics.

Well, sort of. Len Peralta, of monsterbymail.com is about to wrap up his creepily successful Summer of the Zombies. You have until Friday to order one if you haven't already.
