A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads βMaybe it willβ¦β, the word βHappenβ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ββ¦Todayβ.

A montage of black and white midcentury advertisement art including: a skull wearing a crown, a little girl praying, a woman putting a finger to her lips and making a thoughtful expression with a ? next to her head, and another woman making a very frowny face while holding in front of her a mask of her own face making a very manic expression. A speech bubble coming from the little girl contains mismatched typography reading, βMaybe it will happen todayβ. This is all on a toned paper background and make to look crumpled and worn.

Photo of my fluffy white cat Francie she is curled up asleep next to me smooshed against my torso and left arm, and Iβm wearing a black turtleneck sweater.
