When I have a song stuck in my head the only way I can get rid of it is to sing it out loud. Similarly, I had these comics stuck in my head and the only way I was going to get rid of them was to draw them. These came to me on Monday after spending all of my Snow-Day free time reading the newly discovered webcomic “Laugh Out Loud Cats”. The strip follows the single panel adventures of two hobo cats that are drawn in a Walt Kelly POGO type style but who talk in computer shorthand. It shouldn’t be funny, but it is. “I see what u did there” and “UR doing it wrong” are recurring jokes in the strip, made funny by their frequent use.
This is one of my favorites.
This is a bonus fill-in comic that I finished up just before the flu hit everyone in my house but me (which kept me from finishing this week's strip). Chess Comic #17 will be up in a couple of days.

I love what you are doing here! I have often found it disappointing that the world's greatest game has lacked a comic strip. Some have tried, of course, but I find many of them come across as being too stiff. You, on the other hand, seem to have the right sense of light-heartedness and "insider" humor. I am looking forward to your next comic.
BTW: You might want to contact the folks over at Chessville.com: they're always looking for chess comics to post on their site. It would give you the publicity you deserve.
Good work!
Thank you very much for your comments. I appreciate it - it's good to know someone out there is reading :)
