FRANKIE COMICS

After a couple finds a kitten at their door, even the most mundane routines become different.

In a series of full-color minicomics, Frankie, a blue-eyed black and white cat, gets into typical kitty mischief while also bringing joy to her humans, Rachel and Mike. A webcomic based on real life is the basis for this book, a collection of cute, sweet, and silly scenes rather than a story with an overarching plot. From sleepy snuggles to sassily stealing people food, Frankie is always lovable with her expressive face and oversized eyes. One series of scenes features duplicate panels of everyday activities such as using the bathroom, making dinner, and being on the computer, one side sans cat and the other with Frankie always in the way. Anyone who lives with a social cat will surely relate. Another scene shows Frankie stealing a hair tie, a favorite toy of cats everywhere. Crisp, vibrantly colored, mostly black-lined cartoon drawings are in panels, sometimes outlined, sometimes open, with ample white space throughout. Rachel presents white; Mike has light brown skin and black hair. This ode to a beloved pet delightfully highlights the joys of living with a feline companion.

Fluffy fun for cat lovers.
