I recently posted a panel depicting a woman who’s breeding cats—even though her handsome neighbor hates them. A lot of fans have asked me how this romance turned out.
Frankly, this little saga is full of hilariously inappropriate moments too absurd to miss. So here’s the entire seven-page story in all it’s catty infamy!

I wrote this gag for the “pet issue” of The Dayton City Paper—which runs Last Kiss every week. Yes, I do requests—occasionally. And this one was a bit of a challenge. Romance doggy style!
Below is the original romance art…which is at least as strange as the version I did!

DOG (thinking): Too much talk! When’s he going to sniff her butt?
