For possibly the first time ever, I have a New Year's resolution: I will start and maintain a webcomic of my own. The first episode will appear this month, after I find a good site to host it.
But while I've long known the basic themes and many of the jokes to come, I still have many details to sort out -- including the title. I was coming up with character names even as I drew the following introduction:

As you can see, I'm deviating from my past, er, deviations by using pens, markers, white-out, and tracing paper I got for Christmas. (I also got and am using plain paper for the sketches, so no more unintended texturing or smudging the table beneath.) It still doesn't look quite professional -- I even overestimated the margins of the scanner. But sometimes I like a little amateurity. When I accidentally made a discrepancy in Aspen's stripes, I thought, Oh well, I liked "Ren and Stimpy." Besides, she's supposed to be mysterious.
Some viewers elsewhere sound intrigued. The better to speed along my endeavor.

We're thinking we need to have them at wealthy homes where "their humans" are always out. Among the characters is the richest cat living in the mansion at the end of the street, the hulk of a feral male cat always being a home-wrecker, and the suave strays, both male and female, doing the same.
Of course, the help is never doing what they should, and they've learned never to speak of the stuff the cats do when the other humans aren't around for fear of being dragged off to the funny farm.
