It’s been a while, but here’s #adventureswithzori 012823 •Zori’s annual vet checkup was today, and she hates being in her carrier! She was wailing & flailing until we got about halfway on the drive to the vet, then she got dead quiet! We got nervous that something had happened! She was fine, and she’s healthy, too ^_^ #jonjmurakami #cartoon #comic #comicstrip #cat #vet #catcarrier #zorithecat #zori https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn_RYe4OOIh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#adventureswithzori Part 1: My weeks have been nonstop deadlines & errands. I desperately need to get art to the printers for my upcoming comic & stickers to make it in time for @kawaiikonofficial •Most of you know I work on my comic strips for the papers really last minute. The other night was an all-nighter as I struggled to develop an idea. Yesterday at about 8 am, I finally got an idea and was halfway finished when I heard our cat, Zori, make a soft mew. I turned to see her sadly sitting on the patio, drenched in motor oil!!! I have no idea where she wandered to that got her in this situation, but I dropped everything to see if I could help her because she seemed pretty miserable :( More to come… #jonjmurakami #comic #comicstrip #cartoon #cat #zorithecat #zori #oil https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpn4GNfPJmv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#adventureswithzori Part 3: Zori started wailing and looking at me for help getting the oil off of her. I know I was supposed to use Dawn liquid soap, but we had NEVER bathed Zori before - so I really didn't know what to do... When all else fails... call Gwen ^_^; •More to come… #jonjmurakami #comic #comicstrip #cartoon #cat #zorithecat #zori #oil https://www.instagram.com/p/Cposnf-uFFk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#adventureswithzori Part 2: Zori showed up drenched in motor oil, and I was shocked! She wanders around outside, and I have no idea how or where she would’ve gotten oil all over her paws, legs, underside, and her left side. I thought maybe from under one of our cars, but nothing was leaking. Several people fix up their cars down our street, but I have no way of telling for sure. •I think it’s human nature to talk to our pets and assume they understand half of what we say. #More to come… #jonjmurakami #comic #comicstrip #cartoon #cat #zorithecat #zori #oil https://www.instagram.com/p/CpoCWEOvAH9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aloha, all! It's been a while since I last used my drawing tablet, which was during my final comic strip last month. But I finally got back to it and it felt great! It's like they say, you never forget how to fall off a bike! ^_^ Keep smiling, and wishing you all the best for the holidays!

Hey! We haven’t done an “Adventures with Zori” in a while! 062523 • this happened a few weeks ago. My work space on the living room table is a absolute mess (I always say “A clean work area possibly means you’re not busy ^_^”) • Zori lately has been wandering under my desk, so it’s no surprise that one of my post-it’s that I was looking for was stuck on her (the punchline was exaggerated to make the sequence funnier- it really was a post-it I needed) ^_^;

Keep smiling, and stay safe, all! 🙂

Aloha, all! Here's my Calabash comic strip featured in today's Honolulu Star-Advertiser newspaper • The Primary Election voting for 2022 ended yesterday (hope most of you voted ^_^) • I was stuck for an idea last week but ended up drawing our cat, Zori, because she pretty much runs our house 😊 •Keep smiling and stay safe, all! 😊 #jonjmurakami #cartoon #comic #comicstrip #staradvertiser #newspaper #sundaycomicstrip #cat #zorithecat #voting #primaryelection https://www.instagram.com/p/ChQFVIEvIWE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been forever since we saw an #adventureswithzori comic strip, so knocking out a quick one. •Our cat, Zori, after 3 years, finally discovered that the bathroom sink is a cool spot to hang out. It gets troublesome when your hands are dirty and you end up running to another sink because the cat has “iron-butted” herself in. •keep smiling and stay safe all! ^_^ #jonjmurakami #cartoon #comic #comicstrip #cat #catcartoon #zori #zorithecat #sink https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce9j7FGPv8o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
