For this chapter of the Quadra Cats adventures, I’ve changed the look a bit — our heroes are now in greyscale! In the original story, I was working with art I had done for a newspaper, which had to be in black and white, but I did not have that constraint for this chapter. Let me know how you like it!

Alison Bigg’s exhibition, Gone Home, will be up until Monday May 29th at 5pm. If you haven’t had a chance yet to come and see this show, you should try to come and see it! Come by and bring a friend or come alone and reflect on Bigg’s thought-provoking work.

Thank you @alimarcjohnson for my lovely lunch yesterday! What a jewel of a place @partandparcelvictoria. I highly recommend this place! The gnocchi was pillowy and lovely, and the falafel was as equally at tasty as it looked!! #gnocchi #falafel #poachedegg #eatinglocal #eatlocal #yummy #yum #goodeats #quadravillage #eathere #forgetthediet (at Part and Parcel)

From Alien Cat’s journal: “Dietary debate is always popular in any group of intelligent entities. Today I learned much about the eating customs of Earth cats, and did my part to spread a bit of enlightenment.”

On some planets, people apparently do just leave their heads lying around.

It was really only a jaunt of a few light-years to fix that translator!

From Alien Cat’s journal: “These outlying planets have a lot to teach us! Their unsophisticated inhabitants daily enjoy simple pleasures that we have long forgotten.”

Memo: Have translator refurbished on schedule!

From Alien Cat’s journal: Note to self: cats on primitive planets may be easily offended. Beware.

Welcome to the adventures of The Quadra Cats — updates Mondays and Thursdays!

Jazz and Tux, two ordinary neighbourhood cats, are strolling down to Quadra Village one day when they meet an Alien Cat. Mutual puzzlement ensues as the impromptu ambassadors for Earth and the visitor from the stars encounter each others’ cultures!

Ultrasonic showers, Levitrons… what’s next for our heroes? We’ll find out in Book Two, coming soon!

I’ll be a guest at INCON in Courtenay, BC this coming weekend, with copies of the two Quadra Cats books and my other comics; if you’d like information about that and other conventions at which I’ll be appearing over the next few weeks, check out my blog post: https://karengillmoreart.com/2017/04/13/cons-expos-and-festivals-oh-my/

From Alien Cat’s journal: Memo 1: in future, the bridge area will be off limits to tourists unless closely supervised. Memo 2: Have pawprint verification added to controls next time we’re in port, even if they do charge too much.

From Alien Cat’s journal: “My Takeout Planet friends seemed intrigued with my exploits in other parts of the galaxy. I didn’t mean to, but under the influence of the catnip and the glow of friendship, I let slip that I had a dream for their planet…”
