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 for the second edition of the book, which means this first edition is that much more of a collector’s item!

Today’s comic is intended as an introduction to next week’s comic, which provides more of a window into my dysfunctional childhood. Don’t worry too much; although I’d like to say I turned out fine, I can’t say that because it’s not true. But I get some peace of mind knowing I’m still alive & strong enough to not have been consumed by that poverty & neglect.

Also, how cool is Chewy.com? If you’re a pet owner, you have my extreme recommendation to check out Chewy if you’re not familiar with it. They made the cat tree attainable for me.

Hey, today’s my birthday! Wow. I don’t know how other people feel turning 39, but I’ve never really been a big birthday guy so this isn’t a big deal to me. I know I’m middle aged now. Oh well. If you celebrate my birthday, please enjoy yourselves responsibly!

You can also celebrate by checking out my new Kickstarter for my new comic book, Human Stuff Vol. 3! I hope you like autobiographical comics, because that’s what this book is. The Kickstarter page & video give more of an idea of what it’s all about, but if you like Hey Cat you’ll probably like this book!
