Sketches from the Cat Planet
Shaenon: My son Robin likes to tell stories about our cat, Eve, and her adventures with other cats on the Cat Planet. Here are some of my drawings of the cats. And here’s one of Robin’s drawings of them (along with some crows and a giant bee):
Channing: The only logical response here is “All Cat Planet graphic novel when?”
I’d read that graphic novel.
Is that wrenchie?

That segment was almost certainly a major influence on Robin’s descriptions of the crayon factory run by a cat named Zuzuzan.

So when do we Kickstart Robin’s Cat Planet book?
Any cute pictures of cats are welcome.
I hope you’re aware that there’s already an anime TV series called “Cat Planet Cuties”, although it’s quite a bit different from these drawings (and has an age rating of 17+).
So the Cat Planet has Mad scientists as well, and they were toying around with splicing cats and humans. The cats in power found out about them, and exiled the experiments to Earth.
Wait, why are we reading about civil service ex-cyborgs having death matches with sapient robots when we could be reading a comic about a cat-staffed crayon factory?
with sketches that cute, the final product could exceed the design limits of the cute-o-meter!
I’ll be looking forward to that Kickstarter. 🙂
Now you know what to do when Skin Horse ends.
I like ’em ALL. And I would totally back a Cat Planet graphic novel– we’d finally find out just how cats’d be if they had thumbs (though I kind of know, since I’ve got a polydactyl cat named Gray who picks up things like a monkey.)
ALSO: Just was going through some old CDs I hadn’t seen in over a decade, and man… ‘Boom’ by Trinket is the most perfect song for Helen Beta Narbonic that can *possibly* exist. Wow…..
Even those of us with non-polydactyl cats know full well what cats would do if they could have opposable thumbs. And let’s not even talk about wings.
Until we get a Cat Planet graphic novel, you can read Anne McCaffrey’s Barque Cats books. Uplifted polydactyl cats in SPA-A-ACE!
I wonder what Leslie Fish is up to these days?
“Zuzuzan”? Your offspring hasn’t been reading Mesopotamian mythology, has he?
There’s something very compelling about a cat with a wrench.
