The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out

The Laugh-Out-Laugh Cats Sell Out is a single-issue comic from 2009, published by Harry N. Abrams, that satirizes the commercialization of webcomics. Writer and artist Ape Lad brings his beloved cat characters into a self-aware story about selling out, making it a sharp, meta commentary on the medium's shift from indie roots to mainstream merchandising. It's a brief but pointed snapshot of the late-2000s webcomic scene, capturing the tension between artistic integrity and commercial success.
