Very true. I love the linework and the overall cartoon style but the guy knows very little on actual human anatomy and it shows, he’d have a hard time doing anything but his cartoony style.

Chris Claremont is a Very Good Writer; but i suspect that at least some of Hepzibah’s appeal is the art – can’t recall, was it Byrne?

A touch of further info on the Pogo character – Miss Ma’mselle Hepzibah was, indeed a skunk – the love interest of several of the strip’s male characters, (Considering that the available alternatives were Miz Beaver and Miss Sis Boombah, not surprising.) She was “French”, her white chest fur drawn to resemble a ruffly, lacy jabot.

There was a memorable sequence in which Howland Owl and Churchy LaFemme (the turtle) made themselves obnoxious and Houn’ Dog called them a cad and a boor; the final strip of the arc had Owl saying “That is one cad and one boor and they is two of us. Which is the cad and which is the boor?”

Houn’ Dog turns to go, muttering “Divide it up amongst yourselves…”

I think, thanks to our little discussion, “sequential art kat vance nude” has now appeared as one of the search terms leading people to this site. Hmmm….

Are you absolutely positive you don’t need it for further research into the catgirl phenomenon? Just think of the scientific merit you could garner. They’ll give you medals, parades in your honor. Schools will be named after you.

You know, I read this review a few weeks ago, and I still can’t get the word “Nyoron” out of my head. Thanks a lot, I guess.

“It would be something akin to Garfield, if only Jon imagined his cat to have a body that would look cute in a swimsuit instead of an obese, lasagna-eating slob.”

This reminds me. A while ago, on a website that shall remain… anonymous, I saw a piece of art which featured Kat and Garfield *ahem* ‘interacting’. Make of that what you will.

I really don’t have much to say seeing as how the others already said what needed to said (redundant), and you’ve proabibly improved since then, except that the whole weird thing about human males going for anthro females and the whole Kat & Art thing:

Well…this is by a guy who also does pin-up drawings of anthros. HOWEVER, at least he also draws BOTH anthro and human; you’ll never find any other anthro artist doing that or else they’ll “BAAAWWWW” about it.

Anyways, I’ve read some bit of the comic around 2008. So for curiosities sake, I plan on continuing reading this series.

I think you read waaaaay too much into what is a comic strip of gentle humour and laid back characters.
Who cares if Kat is a cat, or just a girl who has all the feline grace and characteristics of one?
Similarly Scarlet, is she anthropomorphised squirrel cute and ditzy yet smart enough to defeat any attempt to prevent raiding bird feeders ?( a British phenomenon maybe, we design obstacle courses for them) or just a cute curvy ditzy female ?
Kat’s great enemy is obviously a bleached blonde, silicone enhanced, front door key playboy mansion, bitch, *Playboy Bunny * :rolleyes:
Pip though ?…….well you’re on your own with him

On the whole I reckon the cast behave like a flat load of laid back twenty somethings. Mayhem, magic and mischief, chillin’ out on the sofa with a carryout, pizza, and the games consuls. The artwork flows, the storyline meanders along, it keeps folk looking. It’s a cartoon strip and it works

cheers,

I’m biased toward this comic because of how Jackson’s distinct style stands out to me. I’m not a big fan of his more “pin-up” related work, but just about everything else makes the artist in me giddy and hungry for more. It’s not the best or most detailed work, I couldn’t begin to point out flaws that my obsessive mind could find when put to the task, but it’s more the originality of the style itself. I should also mention that it is obviously meant to be more “cartoony” than realistic.

I do credit you for this review and won’t let my own bias look to find faults in your methods. I do think you went a little too far into the idea of “furry” relationships than was necessary, the anthropomorphic aspect seemed more due to his style than anything else. The whole cast could have been human and it would not have been all that different, but his style of drawing anthropomorphic characters seemed almost a necessity to the comic, as was mentioned before, making it obviously unrealistic.
