We’d like to share some relatable cartoons by an artist you might already be familiar with if you follow the comic content shared on Bored Panda. None other than Mark Parisi, best known for his series ‘Off the Mark’, wanted to share some more details about his work dedicated to cats. Trust us, this is a significant part of his overall work, so we knew there must be something special about felines that inspired him to create these brilliant strips about owning a cat and the common behaviors we all observe in our kitties. We weren’t wrong! We actually got in touch with Mark and found out about his precious 14-year-old cat, Purrsy. Parisi says his ginger companion “is the sweetest guy and inspires me daily, especially when it comes to shedding cartoons.” Scroll down to explore the ‘cat edition’ of the ‘Off the Mark’ series and find out more about them from the artist himself.

For instance, we wanted to know how the works of Charles Schulz, MAD Magazine, and Gary Larson influenced Parisi’s unique style and approach to creating cartoons. The artist shared with us: “Schulz taught me the simplicity of line and expression. MAD showed how fun it was to be subversive. Larson combined both and was wickedly funny.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda! Please use high-res photos without watermarks Ooops!
