Cat Parade

Cat Parade – cartoon drawings by Jeff Curtis (2019) Volume 1. This is a large, full color, 64 page book of drawings from Jeff Curtis, who is an artist, musician, and friend to cats. There is a huge variety of stuff here, from multiple panel cartoons to full page drawings, to multiple page episodes, with many approaches and styles. The one thing it all has in common is, yes, cats—renderings from fairly naturalistic to nearly abstract, comic, demonic, fantastic, even cute. There are cats here for every idea of the essence of cats. If you're like me, you love all animals, but find there is something about cats that goes beyond... I don't know what it is. Or maybe you don't like cats... in which case, I feel sorry for you. But you can change. Everyone can change. Cats are a good place to start! Here's a little known fact: You can be a “Dog Person” and still love cats. If I have to pick a favorite drawing here—I can't really, but maybe the black cat emerging from a cup of diner coffee. That's four of my favorite things in one odd drawing: black cats, diner coffee, magic, and etc.
