Volume 1 bonus deal + Chapter 30 news

Sep23
by Erin Ptah on September 23, 2019 at 12:01 AM

First news: But I’m A Cat Person chapter 30 starts next week!

That’s right, this is no longer an Unspecified Hiatus. There is an official date for the Comic Proper to return.

Bonus news, while the anticipation builds: I had a great time at Flaming River Con 2019 this past weekend — but it did leave me with a few extra copies of BICP volume 1.

Which means, for a limited time, you can get Volume 1 signed, and with a sketch of your favorite character inside.

(It will always be available from the BICP online store, but that gets shipped directly from the printer to you — it never passes through my hands.)

The first place I’m offering them is through the current Leif & Thorn Kickstarter, with a new tier that gets you one volume from each series. Also includes the PDF ebook of BICP #1, and a mini-print of this art:

It is extremely pretty. The colors came out great.

This tier is limited to 5 pledges. If it doesn’t get 5 preorders, I’ll open up another way for readers to buy the signed-and-sketched BICP volumes (free mini-print still included, even). If it does get all 5…there won’t be any left to buy!

So get your orders in now. Or at least keep an eye on the campaign, to make sure you don’t miss your shot.

See you next week for the cover of Chapter 30!

Volume 7 available for purchase!

Sep16
by Erin Ptah on September 16, 2019 at 12:01 AM

And for the first time, the feline model posing with the book is my very own personal cat.

The latest volume stars the Bearded Vulture on the cover, and contains chapters 23-26, introduced by the full “here’s what you missed on BICP” recap.

Buy a paperback of Volume 7 for your bookshelf!

Buy an ebook of Volume 7 for your e-bookshelf!

And don’t forget BICP at Flaming River Con, in Cleveland on September 21. Come find Erin Ptah’s table for signed books, in-person sketches, Patrick pins, and more.

(The cat’s name is Marshmallow Fluff, for obvious reasons. He’s still nervous about being petted or touched…but he’s come a long way from his “squeeze into the smallest corner possible and don’t move” stage, thanks to almost 6 months in a stable home, with regular meals and all the toys he can swat.)

Variant cover: Magical Showdowns on Minimum Wage

At least it’s cool-looking filler, right?

…I realize this hiatus is longer than ideal, but the last thing I want is to rush chapter 30. Bear with me!

And, hey, if you like my other work, go preorder Leif & Thorn Volume 2 on Kickstarter.

(The next volume of BICP itself should be ready for promo next week! If we’re lucky, I’ll even get my super-nervous cat to pose for the photos.)

Vintage – Disney Princess Bianca meme

Sep02
by Erin Ptah on September 2, 2019 at 12:01 AM

Heck of a throwback — I drew this in 2012, and never managed to post it on the website proper. Until now!

Bianca would make an excellent Disney princess. With Patrick as the cute animal sidekick and Sparrow as the dashing rogue.

Blank template: Disney-fy Yourself Meme

Your artist will be a vendor at Flaming River Con on September 21, 2019! (And the character poll is still open for voting in the meantime.)

The unnecessarily long But I’m A Cat Person favorite character poll!

Aug12
by Erin Ptah on August 12, 2019 at 12:01 AM

Hey, who has opinions about the characters they like? Is it you? Prove it — fill out this poll!

To be used for…something cool at some point, probably.

I included all the Beings/Masters who were tagged with at least 2 appearances, and all the other characters who had at least 3.

There are separate answers for each time a Being gets a new version with a new name (or, in Patrick’s case, a new version with the same name). Make sure you’re voting for the specific one you like. Or vote for them all if you like them all! There’s no limit on how many votes you get.

Bonus: Explain yourself?

Aug05
by Erin Ptah on August 5, 2019 at 12:01 AM

The main cast (and a couple extras) of But I’m A Cat Person, answering the question “what term(s) would you use to describe your sexuality/gender?”

Larger version with flags on Deviantart | on Tumblr

I wanted to showcase how a lot of us have similar identities but call them different things, for different reasons. And your personal preference doesn’t invalidate anyone else’s. A rainbow is an infinite spectrum.

Also — there’s a lot of pressure in certain circles to have your identity completely figured out and precisely defined. The truth is, it’s okay to not be sure! You’re allowed to talk about the ambiguities. Or, if you don’t feel like talking about it, you don’t owe anybody an explanation.

There’s no rule that you have to pick a specific set of flag-printed merch before you’re allowed to feel pride.

Kara Lynn in her dragon form, with her very own Unusual Hoard.

(I finally admitted it would be better to post some bonus art than leave y’all hanging on the unfinished page. Regular updates resume on Monday.)

Volume 6 can be yours now!

May16
by Erin Ptah on May 16, 2019 at 12:01 AM

At long last, But I’m A Cat Person volume 6 (chapters 19-22, with new art, variant covers, and other bonus material) can take its place on your shelves.

Presented here by the residents of Cleveland’s local cat cafe! Because a beautiful product deserves beautiful models. (Top to bottom: Cheddar, Cuddles, Sade, Mohawk, Alma, Cuddles again.)

You can also pick up all the earlier volumes of the series. No room in your budget for extra comics right now? Find the website for your local library, and make a request!

Sidenote: there are risks to using print-on-demand, but Lulu is good enough that Volume 6 is the first time I’ve gotten anything that was misprinted. (The colors weren’t calibrated right. For a more surreal comic, it would’ve been a pretty cool effect.) And once the problem was brought to their attention, Lulu fixed up their equipment and sent me a fresh copy, absolutely free.

No customers have reported problems either, but if you do ever get a BICP volume that looks off, please don’t hesitate to contact Lulu’s customer service! They’re on top of it.
