Synopsis
In this delightful history of funny felines---a revised and expanded edition of the original 1981 publication---caricature, comic narrative, and color art add to the original coterie of creatures. Each of the eight entertaining chapters includes historical tidbits relevant to the printing, literature, and lifestyle of cartoon cats dating back over 200 years. But always it is the images of the cats that prevail. From Thomas Nast s ferocious Tammany Tiger to George Herriman s mischievous and irrepressible Krazy Kat to Jim Davis s cynical and self-centered Garfield, Great Comic Cats is a tribute to the legions of furry muses who have inspired artists for ages and ages.
Bill the Cat, Poosy Gato, Felix, Orwell T. Catt, Kit n Carlyle, Fritz the Cat, Cicero s Cat, Polly and Her Pals, and the rest of the fantastic feline gang welcome you to the hilarious, irreverent, and joyful world of Great Comic Cats. Foreword by Patrick McDonnell, creator of the Mutts comic strip.
