Update 8-31-09: Been busy moving this summer and have to postpone Grizzly and Caticus #3. It is not a matter of "if" but "when". All of the art is done save 1 page and the lettering is in the works. I will have a preview/sample pages to show at SPX, Baltimore and Big Apple. I was hoping to have #3 for these shows but unfortuantely it won't happen, due to moving (which is a good thing)! Again, #3 is coming out,...later than sooner. Stay tuned and thanks for being patient!

GRIZZLY & CATICUS #1
Cool Monkey Press
This quirky little issue looks to be the start of something fun. Written and illustrated by Andrew Edge, this story only hints at the plot, but the hints prove to be intriguing and worth sticking around for another issue. Edge's artistic style changes from one story to the next, each conveying a different mood. I especially like the slightly warped panels at the beginning as a seemingly innocent game of chess between two men in a park is interrupted by a flying kite. The interaction between the two is ominous indeed. The plot thickens as we cut to a lonely cat lady who receives a letter, a guy in need of toilet paper, and a jogger who meets an untimely end by chainsaw. Not sure what's going on right yet, but I'm interested. The shift in art is a nice touch. Edge is a talented artist, able to convey mood and tone no matter what the medium. Plus if you're a cat lover, his watercolor cats are pretty damn cool. – Ambush Bug
