About the Comic
Charlie is a black-and-white tuxedo cat who loves love, feather sticks, and the quiet life. She is gentle, affectionate, and believes the best things in life involve a snuggly blanket and helping to make beds. Charlie also has a lot to say about how she sees the world, and has deep insights into the mechanics of the Universe.
Mabel is a white and grey-striped tabby who lives for parkour, extreme everything, love, and the occasional act of murder. She is chaotic, fearless, and has an inexplicable obsession with feet and shoes; her happy place is being carried around in a shopping bag. She is convinced she could take on a bear -- once she sees her sister do it first.
Both have very active imaginations. Together, they are sisters navigating the absurdities of indoor cat life -- from territorial disputes over the sunny spot to elaborate feather stick ambushes and the eternal question of whether the red dot is real. They both believe everything is better outside, until inside is better. It's a balance.
