This homage was a LOT of fun to draw, and I did my level best to match the style of classic "Garfield" strips as closely as possible.
I was coming up with gag ideas to play up the fact that there's more than a little jealousy in the house with the new kitties, and I realized so many of my ideas felt KINDA like Garfield strips that I decided to lean into it for a single parody/homage and have some fun.
Of course, normally, my pets are just drawn AS pets without thought balloons, etc., so there is a world of difference, to be sure.
Also, special thanks to Molly Bragg for helping lead me to a better pun name for the REAL cat, Mazikeen. lol
