The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out

Adam Kofords Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out is a hilarious and charming mash-up of LOLcats (those ubiquitous photos of cats, captioned humorously and ungrammatically) with the stylings of early twentieth-century American comics, such as Walt Kellys Pogo and George Herrimans Krazy Kat. These single-panel comic strips, drawn on vintage off-white paper andpurportedly createdaround 1912by Kofords great-grandfather, Aloysius Gorilla Koford, allow familiar jokesplus references to Proust, Star Wars, Lovecraft, classical mythology, and everything in betweento transcend their origins in a fresh, inventive way. The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out presents the very best of Kofords online archives, alongside 30 new comics produced exclusively for this collection. An introduction by The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, whose 700 Hoboes project inspired Koford to create Kitteh and Pip, frames the strips for both the longtime fan and the LOLinitiate.
