Cats Are Weird: And More Observations

The bestselling author of the Star Wars®: Jedi Academy series “does an excellent job of capturing the little nuances and movements that make a cat a cat” (Comics Forge). Cartoonist Jeffrey Brown’s drawings perfectly capture the humor and quirkiness of cats in all their strange and charming glory. Following the success of Cat Getting Out of a Bag, this collection of color and black-and-white comic strips loosely follows the adventures of a pair of cats as they explore the world around them, indoors and out. Adventures include taking a nap, licking a shoe, attacking dust particles, hiding in cabinets, pouncing on fallen leaves, confronting the vacuum cleaner, patrolling the yard, and purring up a storm—all adorably rendered in Brown’s immediate and irresistible style. Sure to delight anyone who lives with cats and appreciates their sweet and batty behavior, this gift book is the cat’s meow. Plus, this is a fixed-format version of the book, which looks nearly identical to the print version. “No characters. No story. The joy we get from these comics is born from Brown’s ability to transmit his love of cats and extol the banal in well-executed gags. That Brown has created powerful, humorous celebrations of the mundane in the form of the queasily-commercial, CAA ‘cat book’ medium is delightfully surprising and odd and funny, because it’s true.” —The Comics Journal
