Lackadaisy Cat Webcomic by Tracy J. Butler

By Alex in Blogs & Internet, Comics & Cartoons on Jan 23, 2008 at 6:18 am

Lackadaisy Cat is an award-winning webcomic by Tracy J. Butler. It is set in Prohibition-era 1927 St. Louis, Missouri and features beautifully drawn, anthropomorphic cats. The comic strips are sepia-toned, just like photographs from the 1920s.

Though the webcomic was launched in 2006, I’ve just discovered it – there are about 50 richly drawn pages for your enjoyment: Link | Here’s the first pageThanks Davis!

    Nice discovery. I’ve been reading Lackadaisy for a while now and really like it – the sorta anime-ish drawing style bugged me at first but after the first few comics I started really noticing how much -expression- Tracy Butler puts into her drawings, and how much she’s doing in terms of character development, and I really like that a lot. Plus, the story is interesting and often pretty danged funny!

    If you haven’t done so already, do check out her Gallery, there are a lot of fun drawings and comics there (the Mordecai / Viktor ones are my favorite – this one in particular =)

    I’ve been following Lackadaisy since there were only a few concept sketches on her website. It’s effing brilliant.

    I think you already had a post about Lackadaisy. I came across that site while surfing this site.

    Oooh! Back in May – I think I was in Paris or something like that and didn’t get to watch Neatorama closely. I think I’ve duplicated many of Miss C’s posts since. :(

    Actually, I’m finding it harder and harder to remember what’s been on the blog… you’ll probably see more duplicates in the future.

    Both links worked for me just now, Lea. Maybe it’s just a temporary glitch.

    Okay you had me sold at the the worlds strangest deaths and unique trees, you had my love at the hello kitty assault rifle, but this just takes the cake.
