Two ordinary graduates accidentally adopt a magical shapeshifting battle monster.
Complete! And rerunning in full with Director's Commentary.
The grand return of The Carpet.
I’ve been on a really long streak of not doing any Master’s Edition updates — it’s almost like I got better at this comic thing as I went on, you know? — but this page is getting one, because the sigil on the rug doesn’t actually get darker in the shadows.
Patrick and Cybele can peg each other as Beings, but they can’t ID the exact species. Which is lucky for both of them right now.

After 3 million years, I have boxes for the BICP hardcover box sets!
It’s…a tight squeeze. Extremely tight. You take out the books to read them, and I’m not 100% guaranteeing you’re gonna get them back in again.
But the books technically fit, so I’m calling it a win. Let the shipping begin.
And yeah, my living room is a mess of piles once more. In theory I start crowdfunding for the next Leif & Thorn volume in September — so the goal is to have all the BICP in the mail by then.
The slipcases came!
The books fit inside them and everything!
I’m finally going to clear out this heap of boxes in my living room!
I’m going to ship out all the preorders (or maybe most of them, if there are a few unreasonable headaches in the mix) before letting the rest of you buy the paperback BICP Master’s Edition in the general shop, so it’s not listed yet. Just wanted to share the progress. Watch this space for updates.
Note, this is just the paperbacks — the hardcover slipcases are still in production. More on those later. (Honestly, it’s probably a good thing if they only arrive after I ship a bunch of paperbacks…otherwise, I won’t have anywhere to put them.)
Background: Your artist has a Patreon, where anyone who likes But I’m A Cat Person can throw me a few dollars. Either as a one-time payment, or as a regular contribution that can run for as long as you want.
Maybe you join for the exclusive bonus content. Maybe you join because you want to support the ongoing costs of BICP (even though the comic is finished, online hosting isn’t free!), or to support the development of whatever comic(s) I make next. Maybe you just like BICP and want a quick way to show your appreciation.
(You could also buy some BICP ebooks? But maybe you aren’t an ebook person. If so, no worries, that’s what Patreon is here for.)
If you’re one of the readers who’s holding out for bonus content — here are the latest BICP-themed wallpapers. Patrons get high-res versions, in a range of different sizes to fit all your screens.
March – Who Are These Masked Men?
A long-delayed coda to the earlier “BICP characters in animal masks” wallpaper from last May.
Not sure I’ll ever draw all the Masters with their corresponding animal masks…but I always wanted to do Bennett and Cohen, on top of the five characters in that first wallpaper. They just didn’t all fit in one image.
April – JoJo Poses
A commenter pointed out that Joshua Ben Joseph (BICP) is a JoJo, and bam, suddenly I had an Easter-themed wallpaper for April.
Poses modeled by Maria, Josh, and Saxon. Anybody want to suggest what their Stands would be called…?
All the volumes of the BICP Master’s Edition have been printed and delivered!
Paperbacks and hardcovers. The full 3-book set. No last-minute horrible disasters on the latest delivery. All the boxes are finally here.
RIP having any space in my living room.
The only thing left to finish production is the slipcases. Since this is supposed to be a box set, and that only works if it comes in a box.
I, uh, definitely underestimated how much of a pain these things would be.
Their future is…a little bit in doubt, at this point. Watch the campaign updates for more details, and to keep up with the latest news.
If you just want to know when you can get the books, because you didn’t preorder them during the campaign — watch this space!
I do have a limited supply of extra Master’s Edition sets. Once the preorders start shipping, I’ll put the rest up for sale to anybody else who wants one, and post here to let you know.
