A Fresh Start
Next year, 2019, will be the 20th anniversary of Clan of the Cats, more or less. Unfortunately, the comic has been on hiatus for the last several years with no word from yours truly. I’m here to fix that. First, I’ve rebuilt the site. The old one was a mess and it was easier to start over. The archives are gone, for now and only one story, The Reunion, remains up. The site will stay this way for a while. Second, the comic itself. COTC as it is now will come to an end. I know this is disappointing news, but probably not unexpected. The last few times I tried to restart the comic it had become work with little joy in the job.
A few years ago I asked for some advice on what to do w/ COTC and what I heard was reboot. I know that’s a cringe worthy word these days, it may be worth a shot. So, that’s the current plan, a reboot of the series that will stay true to the spirit of the original that I will enjoy again. I will upload the original archives eventually, so the old COTC will still be around. Thank you all.
Shame we’re not going to see the end of Dracula, but given you haven’t been able to make it happen this is the right answer. If it’s not fun, there are better things to do with your time.
Thanks. A synopsis of the Drac story is likely.
I don’t mind reboots, especially if it means the creator gets to enjoy his/her work again. It worked for CAD, at least, and I really hope it works for you too. But a bit of closure is always welcome. Are you planning to give a quick (textual) summary of how the Dracula storyline was going to turn out, or was the plot one of the things you were struggling with?
Thanks. A synopsis of the Drac story is likely.
Dude! You’re alive! I worried a bit with your diabetes diagnosis. 🙂
A fresh start is for the best, as long as the creative spark comes back. Sometimes, it doesn’t.
I look forward to seeing the new beginning
Thank you!
I’m glad that I came back. I hope that you’re well.
It’s good to hear from you again too.
It’s good to see you back as well.
4 TEH LULZ!
Seriously though, just good to have you back.
So frikkin excited!!!
20th anniversary .. holy **** ! Time flies ! Good luck for the reboot.
Very nice work, you still have the “touch” after 20 years!
I set up an IFTTT alert a long, long time ago so I would know if this site got updated again. Thankful that I did that. Welcome back and looking forward to new content. 🙂
Nice to hear from you again, Jamie. It seems apt to mention that I’m wrapping up Zebra Girl as well. You and I have seen the rise of webcomics as a medium, and it’s good to see that it’s still going strong. I wish you all the best with the reboot.
Really, really good to hear from you again on here, and still kicking. I hope that you can find some pleasure again with the cats if that’s what you feel is good, or another path if you need it. Good luck whichever way you walk.
Glad to see you back! I always enjoyed your work. Looking forward to your next project.
Mmm pity about the Dracula story, it was actually getting interesting. Can we at least get a draw of Chelsa mother as a vampire one more time please?
Nice article !
I am waiting for the new begging.
I’m sorry to see that it seems to have died again…
I’m sorry to see that this seems to have gone quiescent again.
I’m sorry to see it seems to have gone quiescent again. I really enjoy it.
Glad to hear you’re back! CotC was one of the first few webcomics that I read, and I’d love to start following it again.
So glad to see you are doing well and back at it. Look forward to the reboot. You handled the topic of modern age craft well with well-rounded characters.
Seriously though, just good to have you back.

I am glad to hear this. I’m looking forward to COTC’s new incarnation.
Hope you’re doing well.
Blessed be!
muito bom
The Knights of Jubal remain faithful, no matter the changes that are needed. Are the archives going to eventually include post-2002 storylines?
Reboot with focus that will work!
its a shame this is over. it was the highlight of my day. i never like reboots they usually suck. but i have good feelings about this one. if its as good as the original it will be awesome.
Glad to see you back! I always enjoyed your work. Looking forward to your next project.
o see you back! I always enjoyed your work. Looking forward to your next project.
Great to have you back with us. I enjoyed reading your work
i’ll keep checking back in from time to time. i really hope you do come back and also repost the archive soon- i was only about halfway through it before the wheels came off…
Please come back soon! There are already too many abandoned webcoms!
Wow, rebooting is not an easy choice, congrats. I cant wait to see the next new first step.
Please come back soon! There are already too many abandoned webcoms!
