Happy (or at least safe) Friday the Thirteenth, everyone!
Sorry! There’s no vintage comic art this time. Diego Jourdan Pereira drew this cat for me independently of any comic reference material.

Today’s episode is a big departure for Last Kiss. It features all new art and—(Holy Cow!)—an anthropomorphic, talking cat!
The reason? Well, I had this crazy idea for a Christmas cat comic and I really wanted to do it. So I asked the talented Kirsten Wilson to create the art..
I loved her first sample sketch. So I lettered it to show her how the word balloons were going to flow—thinking we were almost done.
Silly me.
Kirsten decided to do some additional poses. So she drew a bunch’a sketches (see below.) We settled on one and I suggested some minor tweaks. Kirsten quickly turned in her final version and “Santa Claws” was born. Or almost. First I decided to rewrite my gag to better fit the art.
That’s a lotta work for one cat comic. But we hope you enjoy it!
Merry Christmas!
Transcript:

SANTA CLAWS: Have a Cat Christmas! if you’ve been good….to me…I bring you a dead rat!*
*Just kidding! No rodents were harmed to make this comic!

I had a cat who used to do this—every Christmas. <Sigh> Sometimes several times a Christmas—fortunately never when we had presents under the tree.
Thanks and many helpings of eggnog to my pal Mike Pascale for revamping Diego’s art to give it a Christmas theme!
