![]() Considering that a frustrated Sonia Greene apparently once told Lovecraft “I do believe you’d take a cat to bed with you if you could!”, I can’t believe there’s no catgirl character in Haiyore! Nyaruko-san. Meanwhile, Lovecraft was content to observe the neighborhood cats from afar… although he, too, would pet them and occasionally let them jump in his lap if the mood struck them. ( Dean Spanley isn’t an anomaly.) There’s a photo of him in his biography of him sitting with a huge hunting dog sprawled right across his lap. In form and content this is a very Dunsanian tale, although Lord Dunsany would never have written a story about cats: that dude was such a dog person. ![]() ![]() This is an 8-page story, and I’ll be posting pages twice a week, so it’ll run through most of March, after which, I hope to have something else exciting to post up here. ![]() But, I hope you like it anyway, in all its cartooniness. Surprise! I’m going to be putting up my adaptation of The Cats of Ulthar, originally drawn for the Couscous Collective Kitties anthology! The Cats of Ulthar was drawn for a smaller-scale book, and in limited time (in fact, I was CHALLENGED by my colleague Shaenon to finish a comic in time for the printing of the anthology), so it’s not as detailed as “The Doom that Came to Sarnath” and some of my other pieces. ![]()
