Today’s episode is a big departure for Last Kiss. It features all new art and—(Holy Cow!)—an anthropomorphic, talking cat!
The reason? Well, I had this crazy idea for a Christmas cat comic and I really wanted to do it. So I asked the talented Kirsten Wilson to create the art..
I loved her first sample sketch. So I lettered it to show her how the word balloons were going to flow—thinking we were almost done.
Silly me.
Kirsten decided to do some additional poses. So she drew a bunch’a sketches (see below.) We settled on one and I suggested some minor tweaks. Kirsten quickly turned in her final version and “Santa Claws” was born. Or almost. First I decided to rewrite my gag to better fit the art.
That’s a lotta work for one cat comic. But we hope you enjoy it!
Merry Christmas!
Transcript:
