I’m launching my Meowmy World comics series this week and I’m nervous, but happy. And proud. I’m excited to show what I’ve been working on for the past weeks.

I’ve made a bunch of them now, and all of them are close to my heart. They’re about my cats, after all. My little (or big, I guess, if you’ll base on their quantity and not physical size) family and our shenanigans.

As a meowmy of several furbabies, I’ll admit that there are babies that are closest to me than the rest, though they’re all very much loved. One is Charlie, my eldest, the one who’s been with me since the beginning, and who’s had to patiently put up with me as I learned how to take care of him. There are others and you’ll meet them all soon, one comic strip release at a time.

Today, you’ll meet Guigui, whom I probably revived from near death. We were together only briefly. One of my heartbreaks this year.

I wish for Guigui’s wellbeing everyday.

I hope you will, too.
