He might be overdoing things a bit.

Shadow Play, Chapter 4

Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3 - Chapter 4

Neopia Central at two-thirty in the morning had a bit of a different vibe. It had stopped raining, and there was still plenty of vehicle traffic, but almost no pedestrians on the sidewalks. Most of the lights in the buildings were out, save for the odd Neopet working a night shift. It was rather eerie—or peaceful, Terra supposed, depending on how one wanted to look at it. Right now, though, she was a bit on edge from a kidnapping attempt, so her mind leaned more toward seeing things as eerie.

She looked up at Isengrim as they traversed the city blocks between the hotel and the Defenders’ headquarters, and he smiled down at her, although it seemed to her to be halfhearted. Her worries grew. Had she offended him in some way? They’d had excellent rapport ever since she adopted him – well, to be exact, since about a day after she adopted him – but perhaps she was naïve for thinking nothing could ever cause tension between them. What concerned her was that he was usually so open with her about anything bothering him, and now it seemed like that wasn’t the case.

“Are you okay?” she finally asked him as Blynn made them stop for more gumballs at the restaurant. The Zafara gave a few to Tally this time, before putting another in her mouth and sticking the rest in her belt pouch.

“I’ll be just fine,” Isengrim said with another smile that did not quite reach his eyes.

 

 Couldn't leave out the Grand Duke of astrophysics himself!  I know seal point cats are native to Thailand, but as far as I'm aware there are no established cat breeds that originated in India, so I just went with a geographically close area. I also just really wanted to draw somebody as a seal point cat. <3

It's so wonderful how so many people all over the world contribute to advancing humanity's understanding of the universe around us! 

My own diabolical genius of a cat figured out the whole laser pointer thing pretty quickly. He derived much more entertainment from watching his brother Mallow fail to figure it out. I'm absolutely certain cats can experience Schadenfreude.

A running gag in this comic is how DJ Mary's face is very... unique, but I didn't want to just leave it at that. I wanted to show that just as you should never judge anybody by how they sound on the radio, you should also never judge anybody by their looks. And also just don't judge anybody.

 When a villainous organization takes control of a radio station, the nefarious possibilities are endless.

 Still going with the science cats. James Clawrk Maxwell is, naturally, playing the acting force in the "Maxwell's demon" thought experiment.

Let's face it, cats are little demons. But they're cute so it's okay. <3

James Clawrk Maxwell is a Scottish wildcat because they're adorable. I was considering making him a Scottish Fold, but that's a controversial cat breed riddled with genetic issues. I decided to instead encourage love for Scottish wildcats, which are critically endangered. Save Britain's wild kitties!

 I drew this illustration for Trainer Wants to Fight! to celebrate Kris's Togetic learning Fly. 

Sometimes the HM moves some Pokémon are able to learn seem a bit... implausible.
