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'...
When the alien Mimics invade, Keiji Kiriya is just one of many recruits shoved into a suit of battle armor called a Jacket and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the battlefield, only to be reborn each morning to fight and die again and again. On his 158th iteration, he gets a message from a mysterious ally--the female soldier known as the Full Metal Bitch. Is she the key to Keiji's escape or his final death?
Now a major motion picture starring Tom Cruise!
