Creator's Comments

".. I must admit that my work at SKS finally allows me to merge two of my life-long passions. The first is cartooning and the second is cats. Though I enjoy and appreciate all animals, the cat species seem especially unique to me. Whether on the Serengeti or in the backyard, all cats big and small embody a physical and mental prowess that we, as humans can only dream about.

I'm lucky to have inspriations like Webster, Tui, Augie and Brodie. With the real Mogsquad Moggies around, there's always plenty of creative material on tap for SKS.."
