If by some strange happenstance you have never before seen a Kliban cat drawing, you will instantly recognize that each and every one of them captures the essence of…. cat. A well-established illustrator and cartoonist (Playboy, The New Yorker, Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head, et al) B. Kliban used to devote off-moments in his studio to drawing his felines Nitty, Norton, Burton Rustle and Noko Marie the Snake. An editor friend saw this work and convinced Kliban to let her take it publishers, and in 1975 Workman published CAT, a huge bestseller which inspired an outbreak of cat love that has not abated to this day. That groundbreaking book was followed by more books, and more drawings, which manifested on calendars, cards, mugs, ceramics, clothing – almost 9,000 unique items to date. And the book that started it all is still in print. Cat people of the world, rejoice -- and savor the twice-a-week pleasure of KLIBAN’S CATS.

You beat me to it, bart — couldn’t be anything else. (Sigh, I wish I was right there with them…)

Couldn’t be Japan-loving cats?

This strip is very much of its time and place. Barticle has it right; very Marin County 1970s. If you can see the film “Serial” with Martin Mull, you will “get” the joke (hysterical film, by the way, if you remember the 70s, and very funny even if you weren’t around then).

I loved “Serial”, and I do get it.

All that are missing are the Proposition 215 plants! ;-)

I’ve sat in that hot tub and watched the sun set behind the golden gate. The resident kitties walked around the edge of the tub but declined to join us in the tub.

Ayup. Here’s some nice 70’s.

As a Tom Waits junkie that was a gem. Thanks for the link.

I think this is the view looking south from Stinson Beach. I used to surf there in ’96

All they need is a plate of mouse or bird-on-a-stick appetizers, and a glass of catbernet wine.
