Meow, Baby!

In Meow, Baby!, Norwegian cartoonist Jason blends deadpan anthropomorphic animals with silent-film-style storytelling, crafting a surreal and tender one-shot for Fantagraphics in 2005. Co-written with Kim Thompson, this single issue follows a lovelorn cat navigating romantic misadventures through wordless, elegantly minimalist panels. A quiet gem of the 2000s alternative comics scene, it showcases Jason's signature blend of melancholy humor and cinematic pacing.
