Yes, that's right, you heard it here first (well, maybe not...): Jeffrey Brown has "sold out." This book is published by mainstream, coffee-table-book publisher, Chronicle Books and will soon be piled up in stacks on tables at B & N and Borders coast to coast... at least, that's the theory. The reality is that CGOoaBaOO is a square-format, embossed hardcover containing 100+ pages of feline fun that is a thoroughly enjoyable read.Brown reveals a clear debt to Kochalka here, as Misty seems a pen-and-ink descendant of American-Elf-supporting-cast-member, Spandy, but he has gone more than a step further with these strips, and established the territory covered as his own.Almost all the pages are produced in a uniform 9-panel grid that works quite well in capturing the rhythms of the domestic cat in its natural environment.This work will be appreciated not only by Mr. Brown's pre-existent fan base, but stands a very good chance of -- dare we say it -- "crossing over" and appealing to the great unwashed masses of non-comics readers -- at least those among them who are "cat people," which is a fairly significant number -- out there... which is, obviously, the hope of the publishers and, one can only assume, the author as well.If you're a "cat person" or ever have need of an appropriate, suitable-for-all-ages gift for someone who is, you are hereby advised to take a look at a Cat Getting Out of a Bag.
