What’s Michael?<\/i><\/h3>\n

by Makoto Kobayashi<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

Early volumes may be out of print, but each volume stands alone. This is one of the few American-comic-strip-like, purely comedic manga to be translated into English. It’s well-translated and hysterically funny series, examining the lives of housecats and making fun of both cats and humans. You might like it if you like really strange comedy–it’s a lot weirder than Garfield<\/em>, and being Japanese, doesn’t feel the need for a punchline at the end of a joke. Sometimes weird things (like cats dancing to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”) just kind of happen, and then stop happening, and then the story is over.<\/p>\n
