Demon fire cats command you come to a house show! Last night’s house show had 6 cats, so if you’re on a cat scavenger hunt, a house show is a great place to look! Tonight I’ll be painting live in Greenfield, MA with @pocketvinyl so come say hi!

Little inking process video for you of one of the new Pilgrim comics going into the upcoming book! And a reminder that Eric & I are heading out on tour this summer! (Don’t worry, our wonderful neighbors will be checking in on all three of our kitties daily while we’re away.)

The worst part of going away on tour is leaving the kitties. But the best part is how happy they are when we come home. Summer tour with @pocketvinyl.bsky.social starts next week! Come out, say hi, and tell me about your cats! #pilgrimthecat #eartipped #welcomeparty

I’m working on 20 bonus Pilgrim comics that will be in my upcoming book, and I may share a few in Pâtrêôn (we’ll see). Also! I’ve playing a few shows this weekend with my band @pocketvinyl Come say hi! And if you mention Pilgrim, I’ll give you a sticker! #pilgrimthecat #comicsketch #pencilsketch

Another round of signing books for the Kickstarter, with Pilgrim’s help. This book (“The Cat’s Person”) was an Inktober project I did a few years ago, where Eric helped me write a poem in 31 parts (one for every day of October)…

Working on signing yet another shipment of books for the Kickstarter (150 copies of my second Touring Test collection: “Delusionally Optimistic”) and Locutus and Pilgrim are loving playing in the packing paper! Sound on because it was LOUD #pilgrimthecat #locutusthecutestofborg

New Pilgrim sticker sheets have arrived! At the moment these are reserved for those of you who added these on in the Kickstarter. If there are any left over I will make those available, but I can’t promise anything right now. #pilgrimthecat #stickersheet #catstickers

On our Pilgrim Kickstarter people were able to add on books of my past comic collections. We had a shipment of my first book arrive a few days ago, and I’ve been going through and signing them all so that they’ll be ready to mail out once we get all the other Kickstarter rewards.

Now that the Kickstarter is over, packages have slowly begun to arrive on our porch! First up: Over 1,000 Pilgrim bookmarks! These will be included for free in each physical Pilgrim book ordered through the Kickstarter. #pilgrimthecat #kickstarterbooks #bookmark

Here’s an inking process video of the cover design for Pilgrim’s book. I’m so happy with how this turned out, and I can’t wait to see it printed in hardcover! If you missed out on the Kickstarter I’ve included a preorder to my profile. #pilgrimthecat #bookcoverart #coverreveal

Pilgrim’s Hourly Comic Day midnight That’s a wrap on Pilgrim’s hourly comic day and that’s a wrap on Pilgrim’s book Kickstarter! What an amazing whirlwind of a campaign! #pilgrimthecat #pilgrimshourlycomicday #crowdfunding

Pilgrim’s Hourly Comic Day 8:00 PM Locutus, my orangest boy and first love, is still having a tough time adjusting to his new little sibling. I always need to make sure I give him extra love and attention these days. #pilgrimthecat #pilgrimshourlycomicday #catsiblings

Pilgrim’s Hourly Comic Day 3:00 PM The nice thing is that for whatever reason the cats think Eric is the only one who can feed them, so they typically leave me alone. Pilgrim’s Kickstarter is still going strong! I cant wait to share her book with you! #pilgrimthecat #pilgrimshourlycomicday

It’s probably just because she’s still traumatized from outside living and doesn’t feel safe facing the wall. Also, this is the only way Pilgrim allows herself to be picked up, but it shows that she’s come a really long way! #pilgrimshourlycomicday #pilgrimthecat #hourlycomicday

Don’t worry Pilgrim, the humans will wake up soon. I’m sharing my Hourly Comic Day comics, from Pilgrim’s perspective. #pilgrimshourlycomicday #pilgrimthecat #hourlycomicday

I decided to do something a little different this year, and draw Hourly Comic Day from Pilgrim’s perspective. (Also, yes, about a month & a half late. I hope you can forgive me) Enjoy the bonus Pilgrim comics! #pilgrimshourlycomicday #hourlycomicday #pilgrimthecat

This is the last Pilgrim comic (for now). I wanted this story to come to a conclusion, but this won’t be the last you’ll see of her. #pilgrimthecat #rescuecat #eartipped

Reminder: This ongoing series about Pilgrim will soon be coming to an end. Not counting today’s comic, there will be 1 more comic/episode until the end. #pilgrimthecat #straycat #eartipped #feralcat

Pilgrim wants you to listen to our version of “Give Up” by the Postal Service, now available to listen everywhere. #pilgrimthecat #thedistrictsleepsalonetonight #postalservice

Reminder: This ongoing series about Pilgrim will soon be coming to an end. Not counting today’s comic, there will be 2 more comics/episodes until the end. #pilgrimthecat #straycat #eartipped #feralcat

One of our biggest worries about bringing Pilgrim inside was our other two cats, Locutus (orange boy) and Whiskey (grey girl). They’re older and very big and very set in their ways.

The way she watches everything we do is so funny. Like she’s an alien trying to study and understand our strange behaviors. Reminder: This ongoing series about Pilgrim will soon be coming to an end. Not counting today’s comic, there will be 4 more comics/episodes until the end. #pilgrimthecat

Reminder: This ongoing series about Pilgrim will soon be coming to an end. Not counting today’s comic, there will be 5 more comics/episodes until the end. #pilgrimthecat #straycat #eartipped

Such an exciting day Reminder: This ongoing series about Pilgrim will soon be coming to an end. Not counting today’s comic, there will be 6 more comics/episodes until the end. #pilgrimthecat #feralcat #straycat #eartipped

An unrelated FYI: This Friday, January 30th, there will be a US General Strike in protest of the funding of ICE. No school, no work, no shopping.

With how Pilgrim chased off every other stray cat, I really wasn’t expecting her to like our indoor cats! Reminder: This ongoing series about Pilgrim will soon be coming to an end. Not counting today’s comic, there will be 8 more comics/episodes until the end. #pilgrimthecat #feralcat #straycat

Locutus spots Pilgrim Reminder: This ongoing series about Pilgrim will soon be coming to an end. Not counting today’s comic, there will be 9 more comics/episodes until the end. #pilgrimthecat #feralcat #straycat #eartipped

Pilgrim lives by vampire rules. Reminder: This ongoing series about Pilgrim will soon be coming to an end. Not counting today’s comic, there will be 10 more comics/episodes until the end. #pilgrimthecat #feralcat #straycat #eartipped

This ongoing series about Pilgrim will soon be coming to an end. Not counting today’s comic, there will be 11 more comics/episodes until the end. (I don’t know about you, but when I’m watching a TV show I like to know how many episodes are left so that the ending doesn’t catch me off guard.)
