Drawing comics about cats.

Hypatia lays in the sun in the front doorway, recreating my past comic.
Panel 1: Hypatia sleeps at the front door open with the slight sounds of traffic in the background. Panel 2: Hypatia’s sleep is disturbed by the growing sounds of traffic. Panel 3: The sounds of traffic explodes such that Hypatia jumps in auditory overload! Panel 4: Recovering from the auditory explosion from the traffic jam of the day, sighs, “I hate rush hour!”
Panel 1: Darwin inspecting the food says, “Mmmm… That’s good…”. Panel 2: Darwin tries another sample, “Interesting taste…” Panel 3: Darwin finds the food that tastes the best! “Ah! Fantastic!” Panel 4: Darwin’s father, frustrated with his son’s taste testing, asks, “Are you done sampling my food, Darwin?!” Darwin responds, “Not yet…”
Some greenery and Masahiro Sakurai I painted in watercolor and color pencil.

All The Baby Kitties by Simone K. Mitchell © 2025 Panel 1: Hypatia talks to Pierce in the yard. Hypatia tells Pierce, "You keep getting in trouble, Pierce, because you're not spraying right. Pierce responds, "I'm trying, Hypatia." Panel 2: Hypatia further explains, "It's a mist, not straight up peeing. Do it like this. Panel 3: Pierce, heavily contemplating what Hypatia said to him, "Mmmmm..." Panel 4: Pierce exclaims with the enthusiasm of finding pure gold, "You mean like this?" Hypatia screams, "EWWW PIERCE!!! NOT LIKE THAT!!!" after Pierce, lifting his leg like a dog, and with a stream of pee so powerful, that it bounces off the wall of the house where Pierce was peeing on, and soaks poor Hypatia!

On a nice and sunny day in the backyard, Mileva and Pierce sit together on the grass and watch as their mother walks by. Panel 1: Pierce says, "There goes mom." Panel 2: Pierce thinks to Mileva, "I wonder what mom is making for dinner tonight?" Panel 3: A nice moment of silence among these two kitties. Panel 4: Mileva abruptly says out of nowhere, "I'm calling the police on that lady!" Shocking Pierce!
Panel 1: Woman looks outside through the window blinds and says, "OOOOK! Finally the rain has stopped!" Panel 2: "And no rain all day!" As she looks at the weather app on her smartphone. Panel 3: Woman exclaims as she prepares to walk out the door for work, "Mondays always suck, but at least I won't get..." Panel 4: "Wet..." Woman says, as she gets all wet from the surprise rain.

"All the Baby Kitties" by Simone K. Mitchell © 2025 Panel 1: Darwin the cat asks his father for some of his food. As much as he can get, of course. "Wah!" Darwin utters his usual, baby-goat like commands. "Darwin! You want some of what I'm eating?" Panel 2: Darwin's father responds, "I don't think you'd like this anyway". Darwin enthusiastically says, "Wah!" Panel 3: Darwin's dad gets up from his chair, "Let me get your baby kitty food." With emphasis the word, your. Panel 4: Darwin's dad returns. "Darwin..." Darwin's father says with a sigh as his kitty son helps himself to a good portion of his dad's food, using his father's fork and knife, like the fine gentleman that he is. "It tastes good to me!" And life goes on.
