What the heck was "where the hell are the singing cats?

September 1, 2009 - 9:35am

I did a comic in law school I called where the hell are the singing cats? (I stole the title from Paul Newman's exclamation from the audience of the first David Letterman show on CBS) which I continued to create after graduating from school.  At first I mailed copies to friends but in early 1996 I started posting them on a geocities site which is gone but here's the Wayback Machine link to it.  (That site is lost -- although I suppose it might be on the Wayback machine somewhere.)  Later I grabbed the tannline.com domain and used it for various things including posting singing cats comics.  Here's a "history" of the comic I wrote up at that point and here's a breakdown of where the singing cats comic appeared.

The ones I did in lawschool hold up (for me) in a way - they're more bittersweet (although they trended towards sarcasm as I worked on it) but the ones I did afterwards largely don't really -- as they're almost all incredibly topical (and so kind of meaningless today) and often don't have much going for them other than a sneerful scattershot of sarcasm.
