Hi Cats! This is a very bittersweet moment for me. First of all, I’m giving up Clan of the Cats. It’s been going on for nearly nine years and I think it’s time to say goodbye. I wish I could have at least finished the Dracula story, but frankly, it’s not in me. So much for the bitter part of this little message. Now for the sweet. I may be stepping down as lord and master of Chelsea and company, but COTC isn’t going away. Quite the contrary. I have enlisted the talents of my good friend, Mike Moon, artist and writer, to take control of the reins. As you can see he is an exceptional Manga artist and should bring a lighter, more cheerful tone to the strip. This new COTC will have, we hope, both a wider appeal and a brighter perspective. As taking a new direction can often be a bumpy ride, I will remain as a consultant to Mike as we do want to keep some of the lore of COTC intact. We just want to brighten it up a bit. And speaking of directions, please note, in true Manga fashion, the comic should be read from right to left.
In this new incarnation of Clan of the Cats, Chelsea, Mel and the other “cat” girls become real catgirls! So come back every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday to see the NEW adventures of Chelsea and the gang as they have fun and get into all kinds of mischief!
( Mike will be better about updates than I ever was. ;)
The Sebos in SKK will continue. Thanks for a great ride!

yeah... Either this is one H*ll of a Fool's, or my head is about to go very 'splodey from the change to a "T&A -- Cat-girls with dangerous boobs" comic...
As it's the SECOND, and there is- indeed another installment of this strange little acid trip up there.. I'm just going to say that I will miss your artwork Jamie.
I was a long time reader/lurker- and watched your artwork improve by leaps and bounds. There are several portraits you did over the years that I would have gladly paid for- if I weren't church-mouse poor. I wish I could have done more to help you out besides being an anonymous IP address that marked a "unique visitor" to the website.
Best of luck in your future endeavors, and Goddess Bless.

as I dont give a fuck about some screwed up pseudo-funny manga shit, this' probably the last time seeing me around. Gonna return to some proper, decent stuff called Two Lumps (http://twolumps.net) (partially of some guy who did above trick to me with his Flem! Comic-series, too).
But before I go off having fun and good humour elsewhere, I'd like to ask you ONE thing: what are your reasons to give up this comic of yours? Too less time? No job? Stress in real life?

And yes, exploitation. Boob and butt shots piss me off when the mainstream boys do it and pisses me off doubly when the webcomics I expect more of do it. This is barely safe for work.
I'm sorry I couldn't afford to do more than download the WOWIO books, but that's the way my budget went. Finish the Dracula tale in any kind of format and we'll talk monetary compensation again. Until then, bye.

I'll miss them dearly, but I'll look forward to the new course.
So long, Clan of the Cats, and thanks for all!

I'm afraid the new artwork and story line make it a totally different type of strip--and not one with which I'm particularly enthralled. The contrast is jarring and the content, so far, is uninspiring; I may watch for a week or so to see if comments cause a change, but will probably be signing out.
Thanks for all your hard work; I hope you find what you're looking for.

Seriously though, I do completely sympathize with burn-out and the onerous struggle with your medical issues but I implore you... please consider taking an extended hiatus instead. Come back to it later, or at the very least script the comic (or act as a consultant) and search for an artist truer to your style. While I'm certain that Mike is a lovely friend and excellent artist, this particular venue doesn't do your Chelsea justice. Not as she was. Not as she should be.
We'll still be here a year from now, two years from now. Waiting. The story you weave is just too good. =)

I mean really. Giving it up to someone for real?
If this is a prank...it's making everyone pretty heated.
Even if it comes back, you're still going to get a LOT of pissed off comments, whether here or on the board...
