An illustration of three demons sharing a warm embrace. The one on the bottom left is a warm purple. He is fat and made of stone. He has little fangs, two nubby horns, and pointed ears. He holds the arm of the demon on the right, a taller slender red creature with four arms and a forked tail. They kiss with their tongues out. A demon behind them wraps its two heads around them, kissing the red demon with its tongue and looking lovingly at the both of their faces with its other head. It’s a soft cream color with notes of green, and has a sort of reptilian face.
a light blue mermaid swims in a tangle, through a dark sea of bright pink bubbles. she is bald and has tusks so large she can’t close her mouth. She has a large nose and huge black eyes, and long claw-like fingers.
a light orange weasel wearing a yellow striped shirt and a red patterned wrap skirt sits with a blue spotted skunk wearing a green bug tank top and purple flower shorts. They are having a picnic on a rainbow striped blanket. They each have a teacup with a bird on it and eat sandwiches and cookies. Dandelions and lavender surround them as the sun sets.
a black and white comic titled Kitty City. In the first panel, a small cat-like creature with no ears walks confidently down a busy city sidewalk. There are tall buildings with lots of billboards and signs. The second panel is a close up with the creature. His collar is jingling and jangling, and we can see that it says Kitty with one T. The next panel is a dramatic shot of Kitty showing up as a shadow in a bright doorway. There is a welcome mat. In the next panel, Kitty destroys a bag of shrimp chips by holding them in his mouth and shaking vigorously. "This is my town now!" he thinks. The final panel reveals the scene. We are in a convenience store run by a robot. Kitty is on the counter, licking up some snacks from its surface. A trail of his pawprints lead from the door. Ice cream coolers, racks of snacks, and a hot food menu decorate the store. In front of the cashier is a mat that says Pay. The robot has a clunky CRT TV head, with a simple frowny face. They think, "I hate my job," as the creature enjoys its meal.
