I recently edited and published the new Kitz 'n' Katz book!
The book reprints the complete run of Bob Laughlin's cult 1980s comic strip. Kitz 'n' Katz, about two cats who don't exactly know who is what, is a charming, surrealist comic strip in the vein of Krazy Kat. The two cats often get mixed up with Nootin, a squirrel who loves nothing more than bonking the cats with acorns, Kozy Kat, an owner of the ice cream stand whom the two cats have a crush on, and Wowbow, a dog who always gets things backwards.
This book contains
All the strips that ran in Comics Buyers' Guide (1981-1985)
All the pages done for the comic books (1984-1987)
An introduction by Patrick McDonnell of Mutts fame, including a spin-off strip he created called Tik 'n' Tak
A bio of Bob Laughlin by yours truly, including samples of his unsold strips
Samples of his syndicated strip Cuffy
Samples of The Collectors, a panel he did for Sports Collectors News
