Great Feline Authors Series: Kliban's Cat
Self portrait with cattitude
Cat
B. Kliban
Workman, 1975
Who is B. Kliban and why are his drawings so, well—catlike? Big cats, little humans. Cat as airplane. Helicat. I purred with pleasure at each and every one.
At least two of Kliban’s witty drawings depict the cat as artist. Can there be any doubt that B. Kliban is a pseudonym for Burton Rustle, one of the felines to whom this best-selling collection is dedicated?
Mao!
