Product Description

Adam Koford's The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out is a hilarious and charming mash-up of LOLcats (those ubiquitous online photos of cats, captioned humorously and ungrammatically) with the stylings of early 20th-century American comics, such as Walt Kelly's Pogo and George Herriman's Krazy Kat. These single-panel comic strips, drawn on "vintage" off-white paper and purportedly created around 1912 by Koford's great-grandfather, Aloysius "Gorilla" Koford, allow familiar jokes, plus references to Proust, Star Wars, Lovecraft, classical mythology, and everything in between, to transcend their origins in a fresh, inventive way.

The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out presents the very best of Koford's online archives, alongside 30 new comics produced exclusively for this collection. An introduction by bestselling author and Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, whose "700 Hoboes" project inspired Koford to create The Laugh-Out- Loud Cats, frames the strips for both the longtime fan and the LOLinitiate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Among the best, February 15, 2009
Adam Koford has created a cartoon universe that is at once a clear and beautiful homage to the best of early and mid-century American cartoonery (Herriman, Kelly, Sterrett) and Internet meme-ry come to life. The drawings are sublime, the characters are lovable and memorable, and the jokes are drawn from within the ongoing and fascinating public exploration of creating shared meaning from new technologies. Ridiculously current within a context that is readily recognizable to any lover of vintage comics, Adam can make a joke in one panel about Ted Stevens's "series of tubes," and in another do an homage to the creator of Popeye.

John Hodgman's introduction is delightful as well. I learned of the 700 Hoboes project from reading Hodgman's blog, and found that, as the collection of hobo depictions grew, I was consistently drawn to certain images, all of them in different styles, and - as I was stunned to realize - all of them done by the same artist. As stunned as everyone else watching this phenomenon, I saw Adam complete a drawing for each of the 700 - no, 800 - hoboes, and then saw more at his flickr site and his blog. When Adam debuted his Laugh-Out-Loud Cats, I was thrilled from the first panel, as were many, many others. Boing Boing and Neatorama linked to them, and Cute Overload too - not too many instances of the extremely hip meeting the extremely cute in the world of comics!

Having purchased some original artwork and joined the Pip fan club, I've been honored to support Adam in his work with my few measly bucks, and now I am ecstatic to hold my copy of this lovely book. Have I mentioned that I think you should buy one too? (Or more than one - it makes a great gift!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully funny - like a book full of inside jokes, March 24, 2009
Adam Koford is a great illustrator and a comic genius. If you laugh at internet memes such as the "LOLCats", you cannot help but love this book. The comics are wonderfully drawn, and the humor is just...well, it's great. I actually did laugh out loud while reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Collection of Hobo Cat Comics Ever, May 30, 2009
By Alessandro Abate (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Adam's Laugh Out Loud Cats is an internet sensation. They are funny & clever and wonderfully drawn. I have followed Adam's work for several years and I own many of his works. This book is a must have for any fans of Adam Koford, Hobos, Cats, Hobo Cats, Stogiez & Mole Men.
