Good news for the folks who helped out my friend Amy B. by donating to her GoFundMe: your special (unlimited) edition Night Cats trading card is on its way to you. (I told you the final version would be better than my original draft.) Would you like your very own Night Cats trading card? It's... Continue Reading →

Since the Night Cats are responsible for so much, I figured they probably have a boss. A fairly sappy confession: we once had a tremendous cat named Henry. We loved him with all our hearts, and he wholeheartedly loved the entire world and everything in it. Scientists claim that cats "simply don’t have the facial... Continue Reading →
