Manfried Saves the Day

Manfried Saves the Day by Caitlin Major, illustrated by Kelly Bastow, 224 pages

What if, instead of humans having cats for pets, cats had humans for pets? That's the idea behind the Manfried comics, with human-sized cats taking care of their small cat-sized humans (who only say "hey," of course). This book finds Manfried's owners fighting to save the Catlanta Man Shelter from destruction by a developer, who will hand over the rights to the shelter if Manfried wins the annual man show.

It's wonderfully weird, with just a hint of Best of Show to spice things up. If you read it though, beware that the men at the man shelter wear just as much clothing as your average real-life cat does.
