Happy chocolate in red boxes, chalky heart shaped candy, and greeting card exchange day. Man they really need to come up with a shorter name for it, maybe next year.

My mom was asking everyone in my family to draw a dragon to celebrate this new year, the year of the dragon. Mine here is inspired by a classic 80′s movie. Happy 2012 everyone.

I decided to bookend the Ad Break chapters. When the main story start up again there will be another one of these to end the Ad Break.

I’ll get the recent bad finished first. On October 17^th the last of the cats that inspired Kat-Nap passed on. Her name was Chloe and as you may guess from my depiction of spot which was based on her that she was a strange cat. She was always a tiny cat so when 14 years passed by I just kinda lost track of how old she really was. She had a good long live for a stray born under a neighbors deck in a gloomy Washington fall. She will be missed but she will always be remembered through Spot.

Now to move on to a lighter subject, internet censorship (wait! that’s not a lighter subject). You may have noticed a funny little bar over the kat in the kat nap logo. That was added in support to the opposition to the protect IP and the E-Parasites bills being discussed in the house and Senate. Now as a person with an IP, this site, I do understand that people want to profit from there created works. That being said I don’t think locking the internet is the best way to go about it. Check out http://americancensorship.org/ or just click on the censor bar above. Best move on cause if I keep going I may trigger Godwin’s law, and I still have things to talk about.

As for the comic, well work on chapter four has started but its a long way from being done. So in the mean time I’ll be doing an ad break series between chapters, which is a bunch of random comics that don’t follow the storyline per-say. It gives me a break from the structured story line and allows me to vent some random funny ideas and play with the fact that Kat is a commercial actor. A change from the last times I did this is there will be a one panel comic bumper to start and end the break like what I did in the smell-b-gone comic only not attached to a comic. The ad comics should be done soon.

Over the course of the year I went to three comic conventions and after each one I was going to do a write up about each but I sluffed off doing them, then forgot that I didn’t write them. So since it would be a lot of text in an already long post to write all of what happened, I’m just going to share a list of links to some of the super cool artists I met and there projects.

Chapter three finally comes to an end.  The cats have currency and are ready to participate in the capitalistic machine. I originally wrote this for the next chapter but it didn’t really fit and I didn’t want to expand it to a whole chapter, so I felt if fit better to end this chapter. That and this chapter was already way longer than I originally planed anyway.
