It reminded me of the early days of Small Press Expo, and I mean that in a very complimentary way. there were a lot of very talented and friendly cartoonists exhibiting their wares. I only regret not getting to talk to more of them. It makes me happy that the Philly comics scene is so healthy. I think this festival has potential to grow and attract people from all over the country.

Delightful goodies I managed to abscond with:

Cards and Stickers

For my part, I was handing out preview mini-comics to anyone I came into contact with. I plan to have a table next year, and hopefully get to meet everyone I missed this time!

I had a wonderful time, and got to talk to a lot of talented cartoonists. The event is huge now and there was an amazing variety of work on display.

I was handing out a revised version of my Kitty’s Cats preview mini-comic. It included 12 complete pages of the story and a full color cover.

If you are visiting this site as a result of receiving the preview, welcome! I would also like to thank any of you who took the time to talk to me at the Expo. It really helped to remind me why I love comics, and the small press community.

As stated in the new preview, I plan to start posting new comics on Halloween this year. I look forward to finally finishing Penny’s first story. I hope you will come along for the ride!

Your pal,

R. Wertz

There is a lot more to come and I can’t wait to introduce you to more characters and show you around Catzburg. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, I need to find a new home.

Apparently, selecting, purchasing, and moving into a new home takes a lot of time and energy. After a careful consideration, and consultation with the oracles, I have decided to put Kitty’s Cats on hiatus, rather than risk a compromise in quality or my sanity. I anticipate that it will take about three months to get this sorted out.

When I am firmly situated, I will relaunch and post announcements to FaceBook, Twitter and my other social networks. Please make sure you have subscribed to one or more of my networks by using the links on the right side of the menubar. I will try to post updates on my progress to Facebook and this blog.

There will be one final update before the full hiatus starts. I will be posting a color picture on Friday, January 18th. Please drop by! Finally, I would like to wish you all the best for 2013!

Here are the details so you know when to expect new comics:

The comic updates every Tuesday and Friday until the break.

Last comic of 2012: Friday, December 21st

First comic of 2013: Tuesday, January 8th

After that the comic will return to regular Tuesday and Friday updates.

Please remember to subscribe via Facebook, Twitter, or RSS for new comic announcements! I look forward to seeing you all in 2013!
