Cat Person

Cat Person
by Seo Kim

I like to wander bookstores, looking for that title or cover that speaks to me from the shelf.  Some of my favorite books were books I didn't know I wanted to read.  Cat Person was one of those siren books, catching my eye on the overstuffed graphic novel shelf.

Seo Kim is a storyboarder for Adventure Time, one of my all-time favorite shows.  Yes, it's really up there with Deep Space Nine and Xena: Warrior Princess.  You can spot the similarities between some of her art and that of the Adventure Time style.

Okay, so what is the book?  It's a collection of comics she drew, mostly about herself.  She eats too much (like me!), loves her cat (like me!), and is kind of lazy (like me!).  I found a kindred spirit in Seo Kim.  I'd last felt this kinship with Julia Wertz (formerly of the awesomely named Fart Party comic but now she's just Julia) as we're both short weirdos with lupus but...I was always uncomfortable with her drinking, even before she received help. Gosh, this review is getting dark! Sorry!  Back to Cat Person--it's a short read and I did lolz for real.  Pick it up if you see it.
