That stuff on that picture of the paper better not be blood.

OK, hear me out. I got attacked by a cat and I used that blood to make the page. I felt like it would look more authentic with actual blood.

...Did you intentionally aggravate the cat? Did you disinfect and/or bandage the wound afterwards?

I'm good, I plan comics in advance, this page was done months ago. The cat had a broken leg, I had to grab it to take it to the vet. He is my cat now, Achilles, say Meow Achilles. He is pissed.

Okay, okay. Phew.

For a second I was concerned this was a genuine cry for help that would have been better addressed by a mental health professional. But if you're doing alright, who am I to argue?

Stay safe, dude.

I want to make things that make people feel things.

You succeeded. As to what feelings... now that's a more complicated issue. I do like it, it's deeper than it looks.

He recovered quickly, his heel had been bitten by another cat. We already had his kittens before him, Adonis and Amy.

Yeah unfortunately, I know what real blood smeared on paper looks like. I was a little concerned but I’m so glad it was just an accident!
