It’s been a long time between bowls of milk and plates of fish in this series of mini-profiles of cat characters I have created or enjoyed in comics! And as a departure in this post I focus on a feline character of my own creation, Cohl, from the comic Blotting Paper: The Recollected Graphical Impressions Of Doctor Comics.  Cohl is a cat of French origin who loves to read comics and to draw, especially with pen and ink on quality art paper. Although he favours bande dessinée, the Euro-Comics, and more Marcinelle than Bruxelle School, he has been prepared to read some manga and is beginning to find it quite appealing. Mon Dieu!

Spending many relaxing and uninterrupted days reading comics in his little flat and planning to create his own graphic novel-© 2016 Michael Hill
