Kliban's Cats by B. Kliban for May 18, 2021

“Out of the Ink Well Comes Kilban the Cat.” Am I dating myself using a 1960’s cartoon reference?

anyone see a nude in the sketch book?

Had to blink twice.

What I’d like to know is: if he’s changing his fur color by syphoning up the ink with his tail, how did the small area of tail by the bottle remain unaffected?

He will be happy later that his human friend uses Higgins’s washable carbon ink (I’ve never been able to get out all the carbon from whatever I or a cat has spilt it on, but it’s miles better than Higgins’s permanent).

Ink-a-dink-a-do sketch by numbers, brush included….Meoooow!

In real life, try to keep your cats away from ink wells.

Draw me like one of your French qats

All I see is a pussy cat.

Automatic sleep-drawing. Notice how the cat is gradually being diffused with ink.

Have you heard the tail of the cat?

Glad to see a fountain pen on the board.

My tux, Nimitz, has a paintbrush tail.
