I don't usually say adorable much unless it's my cat, but I find this very adorable, very much. Besides that, I like the composition to this piece, and how calculate you made the animals run. Even Reed's pose works as a sense of movement.

Thanks dude! Speaking of cats, the cat in this cover is based off of my own.

You're welcome. As a cat owner, cats are a great tool for artists and writers. their funny attitudes and artistic movements have been inspirations for writers like Samuel Clements and Stephen King.

Exactly! Except for Salvador Dali. He despised cats and wrote that artists should only have spiders as studio pets. He said spiders were useful because you could have them spin web above your oil paintings to avoid dust settling on the canvas. Ha! What a weirdo.

I also think that Bill Watterson said that his cat was the inspiration for Hobbes.

Huh... Then what was up with that photo of him with those ocelots?

Of course, he mentioned that a lot in the 10th anniversary book.
