Cat Person - Softcover

Seo Kim was born in Seoul, Korea, and then immigrated to Toronto, Canada just a few months later. Kim began drawing on napkins at her parents' restaurant at two years old and hasn't stopped since. A graduate of the acclaimed animation program at Sheridan College, Kim has focused primarily on comics and illustration. In 2012 she started uploading daily slice-of-life comics on Tumblr, often starring the artist and her adorable cat Jimmy, which have gone on to earn a large following. She has been a member of the International Society of Caricature Artists since 2007 and has attended their annual convention ever since. Kim currently lives in Los Angeles and works as a storyboard artist for the massively successful Cartoon Network show, Adventure Time.

"As subjective as it is, rare is the person who doesn't find Seo Kim's comics relatable and amusing on some level, ranging from the knowing snicker to the downright hilarious." ― Zainab Akhtar, A.V. Club

"Cat Person, a must-read title for pet owners, aspiring creatives, and adults that love tapping into their juvenile side." ― A.V. Club

"How does Kim manage to create comics that are so light-hearted and endearing, yet not in the least saccharine or cheesy?" ― Ken Parille, The Comics Journal

"I love the cartooning which is energetic, wide-eyed, rosy-cheeked and fun, fun, fun. The body language is brilliant, the tears all too real, the sheer I-probably-shouldn't-do-this triumph of desire over moderation and all common sense is both familiar and messy." ― Stephen L. Holland, Page 45

"The illustrations cover a variety of topics including Seo's cat Jimmy, everyday life situations, and a peek into the amusing aspects of a long distance relationship. You'll giggle and probably say 'D'aww' to yourself more than once." ― Amy Ratcliffe, Nerdist

"This book is a winner. Even the cat jokes are not tired―a difficult feat in a world saturated with feline cartoon books and webcomics." ― Publishers Weekly

"Yes! An illustrator who's not afraid to draw genuinely hilarious creatures larking around and being silly. Bird riding on a worm, lobster on a date with a crab, dinosaur getting hot and steamy with a car ― you name/dream it, Seo Kim has drawn it! Her style is cute without being saccharine, humorous without being pushy, and pretty much the answer to my Tumblr prayers." ― Liv Siddall, It's Nice That
