![]() ![]() Not really a story, but just a huge collection. ![]() Warning: For those of you obsessed with cats, this is not primarily about cats!Culled from the Johnny Wander web comic by Ananth Hirsh and Yuko Ota. Our Cats Are More Famous Than Us is tonally very similar to the likes of Scott Pilgrim but much less cohesive and compelling. The occasional strip made me chuckle like one guy randomly picking up Yuko and carrying her off, then Ananth rescuing her by picking her up, then the guy picking up both Ananth and Yuko and running off with them! Ota’s art is great and looks good even when she’s drawing with her other hand when her drawing hand gets busted – very talented. He’s this lanky intense dude who does shots of condiments and puts cats in his shirt – he’s quite the character. There was just too many “eh… whatev” moments for me. The series starts off being more focused on Ananth and Yuko before basically being mostly consumed by the weird and wacky things their cats do. They move about, live in crappy houses/apartments, play word games and generally doss about in between making comics. I’m usually up for slice-of-life, silly fluff but these were just a wee bit too fluffy for me. I don’t know why this slice-of-life, lightly comedic webcomic is called “Johnny Wander” (beyond the creators moving about a bit) but Our Cats Are More Famous Than Us is a collection of these Johnny Wander strips starring the authors and their housemates John, Conrad and a small army of cats. ![]()
