That’s All, Folks!
I made this comic to close out the Return of the Fleas comic book as a palate cleanser to leave the book on less of a down note than the last comic. Plus I had to bring Grumpton back. He’s got a bad cattitude that you simply can’t confine to a single comic strip! I […]
It’s Okay
This one was not easy. My dad died in early 2022 & I pretty much threw myself into making a bunch of cat comics as an excuse to have a huge new project to occupy my time so I wouldn’t be bogged down in sadness. But I knew I had to address it somehow, this […]
Retail Therapy, with Cats
I think I meant sublimation instead of transference. It’s not a big deal, I think the intent of what I was trying to communicate is clear. It means I’m overcoming the negative emotions stemming from enduring child abuse by trying to provide a nice life for the cats. Looks like I’ll have to fix this […]
Return of the Fleas, Pt. 2
Finally some closure to the previous comic! Maybe I spend too much time around the cats & am a maladjusted person, but it’s a damn emotional rollercoaster for me when these cats are bummed out for whatever reason. Bologna always seems more betrayed than Noodle when I have to administer flea medication, so she sulks […]
Return of the Fleas, Pt. 1
The titular comic for the latest Hey Cat comic book. Anytime I’m feeling like I’m scratching more than usual signals the beginning of a terrible cycle. Nobody is happy, except maybe the bugs IF they actually exist. How far do I go to make sure the potential parasites are dead? Tune in next week for […]
Dawn
I had to have some kind of happy ending to this overall grim series of pandemic comics. Jessica has been my anchor during this pandemic. She’s helped me retain a grip on reality during my most uncertain moments. More than that, really. These comics wouldn’t exist without her. Her constant support & belief in what […]
Fait Accompli
I got Bologna in the summer of 2013 a little after Hey Cat #1: Be Here Meow went to print. I had a few comics for the second book at this point, but I realized this kitten would change the series. Was Hey Cat about to jump the shark?? Fortunately the two cats got along […]
Sublimation
Good news: the hospital bill that got sent to collection has dropped off my credit report! Bad news is I’m running up against my credit limit, but that’s another credit issue folks. I’ve watched cooking shows since I was a kid & helped my grandma prepare things in her kitchen, so it’s always been a […]
Scraps
What can I say? I’m a permissive cat guy. It goes against the nature of a cat to impose human bullshit on it. I like to feed the cats scraps! Not a ton, I don’t want them to get sick. But Baddie ever since Baddie spent time as a street cat, she’s been wild about […]
Survival Instincts
Yes, this happened. It was tuna cat food, which is why I thought it would be fine to eat. I wouldn’t call my childhood traditional in many ways. But I’m sure there are a lot of older siblings who had to do a little bit of the parenting while the parent(s) were otherwise indisposed. I’m […]
