BLOTTING PAPER The Comic: Production Report No.27

It’s been a long time between bowls of milk and plates of fish for my cat characters…in my occasional series of mini-profiles…that I have created in my comics! So, in this overdue post…I am focusing on the two animal characters of my own creation…Busch and Cohl, the pair of cats from my comic Blotting Paper: The Recollected Graphical Impressions Of Doctor Comics. Cohl is a cat of French origin who absolutely loves reading comics…not to mention 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 somewhat reluctantly been prepared to read some manga…and is finally beginning to find it quite appealing. Mon Dieu!

And now to the other cat in the comic…Busch, of German origin, who loves to eat…mostly meat and seafood…and to occasionally read comics…and even to draw, with a pencil or crayon on whatever paper is to hand…even if it already has an image on it such as a newspaper or magazine page or shopping receipt. He will generally expect that drawing results in the awarding of a snack. Busch can eat and Busch can dance…and sometimes he goes hungry, gets seasick, goes shopping, dresses up and has tantrums.
