No no. But one of my neighborhood cats just turned up dead as a doornail outside my house.

Anyways, going back to the comment exchange. It’s about your life, I know. But you pick the part of your life you want, it’s not like a 24H minute by minute comic that includes everything.

Also, how you react/edit is a matter of your sense, that can change. This time you thought it was cute. Perhaps next time you’ll stop and say “hey, perhaps I can imagine where the bone came from, and what it means…” or notice something else, the color of the cat’s eyes that reminded you of an interesting car… Or you can express “that’s cute” in another way.

You don’t have to take my reaction as a worthwhile sample, reference, reminder, or advice. But if you want to become a professional cartoonist, I think getting a wide range of comments is helpful, for your art, that includes your personality.

Whether you draw your life or your ideas, it’ll come down to your sensitivities. And it’s tough to be both “arguably right” without going in depth, and “widely interesting”. What’s done is done. There is a next time though. All the reactions you get is a new layer of sensations that may help refine your views in life, and your expression/editing of it later on.

Cat wise, man you’re, hrm, straight up soft? I mean, as South Park have also pounded in our? heads, cats and dog scenes are the cheapest way to gain sympathy or a general sense of warming.

As a indie comic strip, I’d have wished for a little twist. But even generally speaking, a cat with a chicken bone reminds me of the numerous birds fallen to the tactful attack of a cat, or the corpse of birds cleared up by the recycling mouth of street animals + insects.

At best, a cat with a bone is symbol of spoiled city animals, just eating off the garbage of the spoiled city people.

In anycase, cats are a wondrous bunch. Smart. Maintaining their healthy hunter instincts, while allying with the human civilization to eat off of their savings. There’s much to learn from them.
