See that image on the cover of a cat insulting you or the mythical generic reader? Well, there are 25 more pages of that in here by a variety of artists, some funny, some not so much. Which makes it a good thing that humor is subjective, as you might think that anywhere from 0-100% of this comic is funny and you would also be correct. Anyway, the comic itself was mostly funny, but the real winner for me came at the end. Ken, bemoaning the lack of support for the comics that he makes that he genuinely loves and is proud of, has decided to sell out. So it&#8217;s time for cat memes! If he really did stick it he can always use the Hollywood formula for actors who don&#8217;t like to constantly star in garbage: make a garbage comic to rake in the bucks, then use said bucks to finance the comic that you do want to make. Simple! I&#8217;ve just solved the financial feasibility of all mini comics, assuming that nobody out there minds completely selling out from time to time. No price listed here, but $2 sounds reasonable as a guess.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/belligerentkitties12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-23712\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/belligerentkitties12-223x300.jpg\" alt=\"belligerentkitties12\" width=\"223\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/belligerentkitties12-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/belligerentkitties12-760x1024.jpg 760w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/belligerentkitties12-186x250.jpg 186w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/belligerentkitties12-130x175.jpg 130w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/belligerentkitties12-28x38.jpg 28w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/belligerentkitties12-160x215.jpg 160w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/belligerentkitties12.jpg 834w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Belligerent Kitties #1 Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover, or at least you can if you&#8217;re thinking what I&#8217;m thinking, but I&#8217;m not in your head so never mind.
