Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)

We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

Welcome to the cat excuse universe! Its a place of fur balls, dead things turned into feline playthings, hours spent catnappingand stubborn, naughty little creatures who do what they want, never what theyre asked. Cats are full of excuses, so any human who happens to be owned by one should use this delightful comic collection to prepare for its sly explanations and justifications. A charmingly line-drawn, highly humorous, and personality-filled kitty presents all the reasons why I cant.” Im shedding, Im salivating, Im kneading (but not needing) you, my ears are rotating. Or she cant be bothered listening because shes having an intense catnip experience. Cat lovers will recognize every funny scenarioand their pets will want to sneak a peek to discover new ideas!

`	Grady Harp , June 27, 2008 (view all comments by Grady Harp) This may be about silent cat thoughts, but..... Molly Brandenburg is not only a gifted cartoonist and writer, but she is also a standup comedienne and it is this last means of communication that sets her fine little book apart. Though handsomely produced with high quality paper and clean design, the real beauty of this brief book of line drawings of cats with accompanying `cat excuses' is the amount of insight into cat behavior AND the noticeably oblique comparison to human behavior! In addition to the very funny and very true interpretation of feline thoughts and responses to their 'owners', Brandenburg offers short scenarios of cat behavior when humans are not around. For all cat lovers this is a collection of frequently observed 'looks' we receive from our cats and Brandenburg's interpretation of those attitudes. They are smart, clever, funny, and endearing. This is definitely a book to gift to friends who cohabitate with cats. Well Done! Grady Harp

`	Anna Creech , May 18, 2008 (view all comments by Anna Creech) The cartoons are simple line drawings of stylized cats in minimalist locations. The captions are in block print, and occasionally there are thought balloons for the cats. It is a cartoonist representation of deadpan humor, and it works well, considering the subject.
