What's Michael?, Vol. 9: The Ideal Cat

Described as "Japan's version of Garfield, Heathcliff, and Krazy Kat all rolled into one," Makoto Kobayashi's What's Michael? is one of graphic fiction's true comedic originals. It combines day-to-day cat scenarios every cat lover (and hater ) will recognize, with off-the-wall flights of fantasy that will have readers scratching their heads, while holding their sides from laughter. If you've had about enough of "Superhero of the Week Summer," maybe it's time to switch gears and have a few - or more than a few - laughs with What's Michael?
