One Cup at a Time: A Cat's Café Collection by Matt Tarpley
At Cat’s Café, everyone is accepted as they are! This is the second book in a series that features a collection of adorable, funny, and occasionally serious comics. Like the previous collection, we follow a cast of characters who own, work at, or frequent the Cat’s Café. This time around, there’s a little bit of a different feel to the comics, and some indicate that they were drawn during the earlier days of the pandemic. Those comics reference the things that were happening as people were going stir crazy while in a shutdown, like cutting their own hair or taking on new hobbies. There’s even one that references a zoom meeting with family!
Like before, many of the comics bring uplifting and positive messages as well as making sure to represent anyone who is struggling. We see various characters having different struggles, and we see other characters doing their best to support them at times. I love that there’s a good balance between the serious and the goofy. You can feel uplifted by any one of these comics. For me, I keep thinking about the swole Kiwi drawings and cracking up. It seriously made my day!
All in all, this is an excellent follow-up collection of comics that range from adorable to funny and serious. The artwork is downright adorable and vibrant when it needs to be while displaying a lot of emotion through the change of color palettes. I highly recommend reading this series of comics because they are really uplifting.
