Oh, Linney <3
I read all of Lucy's Linney comics as she posted them on IG and just loved her depiction of this very vocal feline and her (supposed) thought processes. Cried buckets when she passed (I had just lost one then the other of my own kitties, so her comic was such a mirror of my own thoughts). I had completely forgot one of the Pal comics where he describes where Linney came from and it's such a "this is from the brain of a toddler so yes, I guess it does make sense" LOL.
Definitely buying when it comes out.

Moderate: Animal death
If anyone doesn't know, these comics are driven by Linney aging in real time and then end with Linney's death, because she was a real, elderly cat who was loved so much her very talented human made a book all about her.
