1394.0. "cats in cartoons" by BRAT::GERMANN () Fri May 20 1988 19:15

    I always enjoy cartoons that include cats.  Who can resist Garfield??
    
    This morning's "Family Circus" cartoon (I think it was that one)
    had the little girl sitting in a chair reading with her cat leaning
    against her.  The caption was something like:
    
    	"Go away, PUSHYcat"
    
    Boy, can I relate......

1394.1the top catMARKER::KALLISLet's move everything to FloridaFri May 20 1988 19:599
    The _best_, most realistic, and most feline cat in newspaper strips
    is Motley, in a strip called _Wright Angles_.  Neither Boston paper,
    nor _The Middlesex News_ carries it, and I have it clipped and sent
    so that I won't miss it.
    
    If you're lucky enough to have _Wright Angles_ in your newspaper,
    treasure your luck.

1394.2Chocolate chip cookies=catnip58019::HTAYLORHave you hugged your kitty today?Mon May 23 1988 19:2410
    I don't remember what the name of the cartoon was, but I read it
    last week and LOVED IT!  It was a picture of a woman sitting in
    an easychair, eating chocolate chip cookies, and a cat sitting next
    to her looking up at her.
    
    The caption was "Chocolate chip cookies are to humans like catnip
    is to cats."

    I saw that one too and thought it was GREAT!!  If you trade M&Ms
    for the chocolate chip cookies, that would be ME sitting in that
    chair!

    That was in the cartoon "Kit 'n' Carlyle" (Kit is the woman and Carlyle
    is the cat).

    RE "Wright Angles" (.1) -- "Wright Angles" is in the Nashua Sunday
    Telegraph (but not the daily edition).

    A good book of cat cartoons is called "Cats Cats Cats."  It contains
    cartoons of the type that appear in The New Yorker (in fact, I think
    the majority of them are *from* The New Yorker).  Unfortunately, I
    can't remember the author/editor, but you can find it in a bookstore's
    Humor section.  I gave a copy to my mom for Mother's Day.  Should've
    gotten one for myself... (there's one for dogs, too: "Dogs Dogs
    Dogs" is the title, oddly enough)

1394.5Bogart is good tooCHEFS::TUDORKIsis & Tarot - the moggie mafiaThu May 26 1988 14:237
    Garfield is (of course) the greatest, but for UK readers try Bogart.
    He is (or was) on the back of the 'Today' newspaper.
    
    I've got several clippings but unfortunately they're not the caption
    type so the joke wouldn't work if I told it here.
    
    Highly recommended
