The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out by A. Koford

The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out

The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out, a collection of wonderful Laugh-Out-Loud Cats comics by Adam Koford, has just been published and is now available.

Adam Koford’s The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out is a hilarious and charming mash-up of LOLcats (those ubiquitous online photos of cats, captioned humorously and ungrammatically) with the stylings of early 20th-century American comics, such as Walt Kelly’s Pogo and George Herriman’s Krazy Kat. These single-panel comic strips, drawn on “vintage” off-white paper and purportedly created around 1912 by Koford’s great-grandfather, Aloysius “Gorilla” Koford, allow familiar jokes, plus references to Proust, Star Wars, Lovecraft, classical mythology, and everything in between, to transcend their origins in a fresh, inventive way.

The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out presents the very best of Koford’s online archives, alongside 30 new comics produced exclusively for this collection. An introduction by bestselling author and Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, whose “700 Hoboes” project inspired Koford to create The Laugh-Out- Loud Cats, frames the strips for both the longtime fan and the LOLinitiate.
