MeowTown — a Cat Comic by Tim Schreiber

Dick Tater

A three-panel MeowTown comic parodying the Force ghost trope from Star Wars. Panel one: Tater Tot, a buff tabby cat, rears up behind Loki, a gray tabby who is curled up asleep and unaware. Tater's front paw is raised high, claws out, ready to strike. Panel two: Tater pauses. The translucent blue-green ghost of Cheddar, an orange tabby cat who has passed away, has appeared beside him, rendered semi-transparent with his tabby markings ghosting through the spectral coloring. Cheddar's ghost delivers Yoda-inverted wisdom: 'A dick do not be, Tater.' Panel three: Tater thinks 'Nah,' and baps the sleeping Loki anyway. Loki's eyes snap open, ears back, teeth bared in betrayed alarm.
