Review by: kiwifi
Dated: 21st of December, 2009
This book contains 240 pages of cartoon illustrations based on the hugely popular 'Simon-s Cat- animated videos on YouTube. Cat owners of any language or culture will quickly recognise many of the antics depicted in these entirely wordless cartoons about Simon-s cat.
I handed the book to my husband (artist, 3D animator, and primary target of our cat-s attention) ™ in short order a variety of snickers and chuckles were emanating from his general direction.
A small amount of repetition in the ideas, but mostly varied throughout and plenty of funny places with a quirky sense of humour. They are reminiscent of some of the earlier 'Garfield' cartoons, but perhaps more consistently portray the essence of a genuine cat.
The original cartoons were drawn by Simon Tofield as a means of teaching himself 'Adobe Flash- (a popular animation program). Their incredible popularity on YouTube led to offers for him to create this book.
A delightful treat for cat owners!
