A Brief Essay on the Comparative Effectiveness of a Sight Gag in Complementary Media
Let us tell you why this video works. This video works because it’s the closest thing we’ve seen of its kind to a B. Kliban drawing. That is why this video works.

That gave me paws . . . sorry.
I used to have a Kliban cat shirt (& still have a few others) where the Cat is either puking in or drinking out of a toilet with party-making debris littering the area.
Below, it said “Las Vegas”.
Wavy Gravy got the giggles when he saw it a few years back. He said it perfectly captured the Las Vegas experience.
Sadly I left the shirt in a motel room & never got it back.
Our cats do that shit … without ice.
We’ve got cats and now we have goats . . . can the herd of bunnies let loose on the web today be far behind?
@BobCens: Bunnies never do anything. Except in Warner Bros. cartoons.

@nojo: I also have an even older (30+ yrs) Kliban cat shirt I think of as Schroedinger’s Kliban Cat – It appears to be walking through your body with the cat’s head in front & butt on your back.
I’ve been planning for years to cut off the back cat picture & have him/her installed on a plaque.
It would be a Cat’s Ass Trophy.
@BobCens: If I say anything now, I won’t have anything to write tomorrow morning.
@jaycubed: I had a trashcan.
