    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

    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…

  • Fait Accompli

    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…

    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…

  • The Call of the Wild

    The Call of the Wild

    I had to do a comic about this because it happens so regularly it feels like a real life recurring comic strip bit. The cats want to go outside, & I get it! Lot of cool stuff out there. So clearly I’m the bad guy in this scenario. But because of my long list of…

  • Heathcliff, the People’s Garfield

    Heathcliff, the People’s Garfield

    Garfield has a big presence in Hey, Cat. What can I do? Garfield is the big dog in cat comics. Garfield is ubiquitous, omnipresent. Garfield is us. It was important to me to spend a little more time on Heathcliff, the underdog cat. I grew up reading Heathcliff comics in the paper just like I…

  • Waste Chaser

    Waste Chaser

    Because of her famous cat curiosity, Bologna watches me scoop the litter boxes sometimes (Noodle does this now too, possibly a copycat move). Who knows what goes through a cat’s head when they see us sifting through their shit? I may have mentioned it in an early Hey Cat comic, but my approach to the…
