Manfried Saves the Day

In Manfried Saves the Day (2019–present, Quirk Books), cartoonist Caitlin Major and writer Kelly Bastow continue their gently absurd, heartfelt saga of a world where humans keep anthropomorphic cats as pets—except these cats are small, sentient, and fully capable of getting into their own trouble. This single-issue installment follows the beloved feline hero Manfried as he attempts to rescue his owner from a mundane crisis, blending deadpan humor with genuine warmth. The series stands out for its charming inversion of the pet-owner dynamic and its deft, slice-of-life storytelling within a single, self-contained comic.
