Review by: kiwifi (Fiona)
Dated: 21st of December, 2009
This book contains 240 pages of cartoon illustrations based on the hugely popular 'Simon's Cat' animated videos on YouTube. Cat owners of any language or culture will quickly recognise many of the antics depicted in these entirely wordless cartoons about Simon's cat.
I handed the book to my husband (artist, 3D animator, and primary target of our cat's attention) - in short order a variety of snickers and chuckles were emanating from his general direction.
A small amount of repetition in the ideas, but mostly varied throughout and plenty of funny places with a quirky sense of humour. They are reminiscent of some of the earlier 'Garfield' cartoons, but perhaps more consistently portray the essence of a genuine cat.
The original cartoons were drawn by Simon Tofield as a means of teaching himself 'Adobe Flash' (a popular animation program). Their incredible popularity on YouTube led to offers for him to create this book.
A delightful treat for cat owners!
Random listing from 'Comics'...
A definitive collection of Charles M. Schulz's masterpieces of comic art presenting every strip from 1967 to 1968. Foreword by John Walters.
Snoopy's identity as the World War I Flying Ace has almost entirely taken over, in this volume although he finds time to moonlight as an arm-wrestling champion, a figure skater, a vulture, and a "Cheshire Beagle." Plus: Did you know Charlie Brown was not his original owner? The secret is revealed...
Franklin and Jose Peterson also take their initial bows, side by side with Charlie and Sally Brown, Linus and Lucy, Schroeder, and cover girl Violet.
