IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THERE WERE TWO CATS

THERE IS A CAT AND A LOLRUS. TAKE THAT.

Nice find! (I must admit I'm a bit puzzled -- in a good way -- as to how something with so little overt dramatic tension manages to hold one's attention.)

OMG SURFING CAT!

My cat won't keep his bandanna on like that.

....and the obligatory

OH HAI, I IS SERFING YOR OSHUNS


(as annoying as I find that myself, I simply can't stop the urge. Oh how I long for the days of the "I, for one, would like to welcome our "X" overlords...)

I, for one, would like to welcome our "X" overlords.

Yay! I'm glad they cleaned this up. I found the version where they get tag teamed by dolphins really disturbing.

I'm happy that my head isn't shaped like a giant lightbulb. Just sayin'.

Have you considered getting him declawed?

They jump a drawbridge but still use their turn signal at a three-way stop - nice.

Oh hai look they talk here. But there is no new animation yet.

OMG the cat's name is October. And he talks smack to birds. I love this shit!

I like how there's a rail in the ocean.

Man, I wish I was that excited first thing in the morning.

Hell, I wish I was that excited about anything, ever.

Actual thought I had watching this: "You know, those guys have probably locked their cat in a hot car with the windows up and that's just...oh wait, no, it's surfing."

I liked the skateboarding and ramp-building sheep. Very nice. This sort of makes me wish I lived somewhere I could learn to surf.
posted by threetoed at 2:37 PM on May 11, 2007

I enjoyed the fact that they were just as excited about buying coffee from a gas station convenience store as about actually surfing.

I love irrational exuberance. This is great.

I liked it when they realized those dolphin weren't frolicking in the water but being chased by a shark.

I had the exact same thought. Get out of my head.

Really cute find.

I wish something bad had happened to big chin. Something really, viciously bad.

I liked the skateboarding and ramp-building sheep poodles.

And the amazingly spry turtle.

Big Chin reminds me of Quagmire.

the artist is a friend of a friend, super nice guy. If you ever go to APE [alternative comic expo thing in SF] or the bigger comic shows you can finger skate on a small half-pipe while he autographs things for you.

the comics are odd, witty, warm, with some dark thoughts regarding penguins on occasion.

Cool. Really optimistic stuff, love how the music fits. For some reason the "irrational exuberance" reminded me of Dad's Home.
