Comic Strips are Due with Artist Bio TODAY!

Hannah Haverkamp was born in 1992 in Minneapolis, where she has lived her whole
life. She spends entirely too much time reading comics, particularly those of
Bill Watterson, Der-Shing Helmer, and Jeph Jaques, and draws inspiration from a
variety of sources including those above. Cartooning and Animation is her first
art class at Irondale, but she hopes to learn as much as she can in her last
semester of high school. This comic is unfortunately not derived from personal
experience – she has never owned a cat, but torments- er, cuddles those of her
friends at every opportunity.
“I think cats are just hilarious—they all have
so much personality, and honestly, it’s kind of a Rule of Funny to have
something fluffy and adorable actually be this maniacal demon beast thing. I
went a little out of my depth on the perspective in the last panel, but I’m
learning! Also, tones are fun.”
