Cat Party!: Cats We've Known in Words and Pictures by Katie Haegele
224-page anthology, published in 2024 by Microcosm Publishing
From joy, whimsy, and coziness to nostalgia and loss, these diverse images, comics, and real-life stories span the emotional highs and lows of a life shared with cats and kittens (and, in one case, collectible cat figurines). The many ways of felines are chronicled here in over 50 multimedia contributions, compiled from the first 10 issues of the Cat Party zine along with some new content just for this book.
Contributors include:
Steven Svymbersky (founder of Quimby's Bookstore)
Dame Darcy (cartoonist and creator of Meat Cake)
Joe Genaro (frontman for The Dead Milkmen)
Heidiroo, Mardou, and Defectivepudding (comics artists)
Justin Duerr (painter and creator of the documentary Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles)
…And many more artists, writers, musicians, homebodies, dreamers, and close observers of the world
