Klaus
Richard Short
Hardcover
(Nobrow, May 29, 2012)
Visually informed by Richard Short's love of classic comic strips, Charles Schulz' Peanuts, and Tove Jansson's Moomins, Klaus explores the un-adventures of the eponymous character, a pensive anthropomorphic cat; the inappropriately specie-d romantic interests of a vexatious supporting cast of anthropomorphic rats; and Klaus' libertarian doppelganger Otto. This sixty-page collection includes the best of Short's short self-published comics together with all-new never seen before material.Richard Short, originally a wills lawyer based in the northeast of England, recently made the unlikely but successful transition to cartoonist and illustrator. He lives in London, United Kingdom.
