I like it quite a bit yes

I wanted to make a grown-up version of the magazines I loved as a kid—like Highlights, but for adults.

Then I found a bunch of likeminded humans who actually made it happen.

Everlasting thanks to all the writers and artists who've contributed to Paper Airplane Vol. 2 and beyond.

The auteur!

a comic strip about a cat’s feral/domestic dual nature: panel 1: a bird on the ground with text "I have you now, you chirping moron." panel 2: a cat inside looking at bird through window "Or I would if not for this invisible barrier." panel 3: close up on cat face "I should be stalking the land, killing as I please." panel 4: cat tilting head in derpy way "On the other hand, that kibble they got in here is so damn good."
