Kitty Litter #6 Now Available! $1.00

While I wasn’t looking Kitty Litter turned into a thrice weekly web comic, so if you’re looking for more from these two you can get new stuff for free at that link way up at the top of the page. Personally, I prefer the longer stories to the strips, as there’s more opportunities for mayhem with the longer format, although they do seem to be able to cram a lot into the one to six panel format too. I do like that fact: it’s not just a set number of panels every time, they do seem to wander around with that. In here you have strips about lazy ninjas, hair on fire, lots and lots of dead people (moving and not), vampire bites, pooping in shoes, and zombie chipmunks. If you still need convincing that it’s worth checking out after that list, along with the fact that it’s a measly dollar, I can’t help you.

Kitty Litter #5

Eh, all that excitement over the zombie issue and the damned zombies are only in it for a few panels. Rip off! OK, fine, the rest of the comic was funny as always, and there’s plenty of good stuff to be happy about, but I choose irrational anger here, as my quota of zombie violence was not met. Besides the zombies you have Sophie making a tea party with some really awful ingredients and making friends with a female vampire. Oh, and it’s bigger than their regular issues, so there’s more funny to be had. I’ve already established that I’m a big fan of their work and they have to do something really bad for me to hate an issue, right? Good. And while the quantity of zombie violence was a little disappointing, the quality of it was top-notch. $2

Kitty Litter #4

What was that I said in the last review about them quitting this series? Yeah, I was completely wrong on that. I got #5 of this at SPACE too, so it looks like it’s still going strong, and next issue there will be zombies (which made it hard to pick this one to review first) but chronology somehow won out over zombies. This one deals with a few things: a trip to the vet, robot kitty, and a virus that helps kitty take over the world by giving everyone a cold. Funny stuff yet again, and that trip to the vet will be all too familiar for people who own cats. I’m going to try and hold out a few weeks before reviewing the zombie issue, but no promises… $2

Kitty Litter #3 Now Available! $1.50

Pirates! Vikings! Monsters! Torture! Action lines! Turtle Wurtle! Mayhem a’plenty in this one, which should come as a shock to no one who’s actually read their stuff, and shame on you at this point if you still haven’t. The cat steals a pirate ship, tortures Nathan when he drinks her milk, and turns the two men into monsters for her own amusement (on accident, of course). Oh, and they seem to be getting tired of the whole thing, at least judging by their interruption from the “editor” at the end. That’s fine, I like their stuff but I also like how they’re constantly trying new things, so if this is the end I say it’s best to go out on a high note, and this is definitely a high note, with all kinds of little stories in here. That being said, there’s also something to be said for staying around, doing the same thing over and over again, getting fewer and fewer laughs each time, until eventually people are happy if you manage to even get one laugh. It’s called lowering expectations, people! $1.50

Kitty Litter #1

Why on Earth is this #1 when it seemed like the other one would be a #1, especially when the other comic they sent me is #3? Who knows? Better yet, who cares? Just another minor thing that I noticed, but there’s no big continuing story here, so it doesn’t make a bit of difference. What’s this one about? Well, you have more mayhem with the cat, of course, this time when she runs out of milk. She knows where milk comes from (refridgerators, of course), so she has to go out and make a machine that will bring the machines to her. Not as much fun as the robots running amok, but then, that’s a pretty high bar to set right off the bat. You do get to see refridgerators flying through roofs, so it’s hard to find too much to complain about here. $1

Kitty Litter #2 Now Available! $1.00

Getting a new comic from these two pretty much always makes my week, so you can imagine my elation at seeing TWO new books. The other one will be up here later, of course, but how about this one? Well, have you ever wondered what would happen if your cat got really bored one day while you were at work and decided to make a machine that produced robots to take care of every single thing in your life? Of course you have, we all have. Well, Ryan and Nathan decided to let us all live that dream for the span of this short mini. You’ve probably already guessed that things didn’t end well with the robots, but I’ll say no more to avoid ruining the finer points of the story. And, as a little bonus, there’s a terrifically gruesome little anecdote in the back of the book about nature. Sort of. $1
