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 […]
Heavy Pour
By this point in this pandemic series of comics, you may be thinking to yourself, “Damn! These are some serious comics.” This is what 2020 did to me! It made me evaluate my life. So these comics are about some things that impacted how I handled the pandemic. I took some hits; who has gotten […]
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 […]
Bipolar Triggers
The pandemic has spread us all thin in many ways, but mental health has been impacted hard. It’s an under acknowledged component of enduring this marathon of crises. In some ways I feel like I’m regaining a sense of normalcy after three years, but in some ways I’m still maladjusted as hell! Bipolar is a […]
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 […]
Essential Worker: Union-Busting Instacart Fires Austin Employees During the Pandemic
I’m still so bent out of shape about this I don’t even want to write about it. I worked for the grocery delivery app company Instacart from 2018-2020, including when the pandemic hit. The majority of their workforce are contract workers, which is what I was when I started working as an in store shopper. […]

Social Distancing: A Comic About the Pandemic
I’ve been meaning to post these comics for a long time. It was something I stopped prioritizing because I wanted to release this comic series out as a zine first. Now that I’m doing the zine, I can share this series of pandemic comics. These also appeared in Human Stuff 2: Cuts of Me. These […]
Cat Tricks
I’m a cat guy from way back. I grew up around cats & have had cats for most of my adult life, so I’ve learned that cats respond well to positive reinforcement. So eventually they’ll usually start doing tricks for approval. They’ll also learn effective ways to get what they want. It’s manipulative for sure, […]
Creature Comforts
I’m relieved to be able to resume posting comics again. Happy new year, too. Like I mentioned in my recent Patreon blog post, Kickstarter fulfillment took up a lot of my time & attention since it was the thing I prioritized. Now that that’s wrapped up, I hope to build a little consistency into the […]
