like with Peep Show or Love & Rockets, #Hepcats was one of my favorite indie comics at a time when there weren't enough indie comics. I just re-read the series and enjoyed it as much now as I did when it came out. I hate that this went unfinished.

Tonight's reads: Hepcats #11 (Antarctic Press) and #12 (Double Diamond Press). Never been so anxious turning the page for #11. It was just as horrible and upsetting as I imagined. IYKYK. #12 just screams "prematurely ending" and that sucks. Thanks @strangebrainparts.bsky.social for the rec! #hepcats

Today's eBay spotlight (Seller ID: RadioIndy) Hepcats #8 from 1998! Classic anthropomorphic drama by Martin Wagner from Antarctic Press! #comics #hepcats #MartinWagner #AntarcticPress #FurryComics #VintageComics #ComicCollector #comicdealer #auctions #ebay #RadioIndy #EverythingMustGo #buymystuff
Tonight's read: Hepcats #10 (Antarctic Press). Quite bummed that there are only 2 issues left of this unfinished story. Even more disheartening is reading Martin's note at the end about halting The Way of the World back up stories so he could focus on #13, never to be completed. #hepcats #comicsky
Tonight's read: Hepcats #9 (Antarctic Press). This issue has two big reveals in it: (1) the relationship between Kathryn/Erica and Kevin, and (2) a very distressingly fucked up backstory regarding Kathryn/Erica's father. Like profoundly fucked up. Good read. #hepcats #comicsky
Today's reads: The 7th System #2 (Sirius Entertainment) and Hepcats #8 (Antarctic Press). This Public Enemy poster from the latter made me laugh, complete with anthropomorphization of the figure in the crosshair. #the7thsystem #roel #hepcats #martinwagner #comicsky #publicenemy
Tonight's read: Hepcats #7 (Antarctic Press). According to the preface in this issue, when originally published by Double Diamond Press, there was some controversy due to featuring Arnie's dick in several panels. Interesting. #hepcats #antarcticpress #comicsky
Tonight's read: Hepcats #6 (Antarctic Press). How does Martin Wagner do with drawing human heads and faces? There are a few panels of hands in this issue that are expertly done, as are the emotive animal heads of the characters, but there are no 100% human characters. #hepcats #antarcticpress
Tonight's read: Hepcats #5 (Double Diamond Press). Unfortunately I'm missing #4, but the synopsis at the start of this issue caught me up. Kathryn... err, Erica, has some explaining to do. Who is this slimeball freaking her out at the mall? #hepcats #doublediamondpress #martinwagner
Tonight's read: Hepcats #3 (Double Diamond Press). The beginning of Snowblind. A very heavy start. There are several moments throughout this issue that were very touching, like Joey calling out to Arnie and giving him a thumbs up. Very sweet. #hepcats #doublediamondpress #comicssky
Today's reads: Exit #3 (Caliber Comics), Hepcats #2 (Double Diamond Press), and Warpwalking #3 (Caliber Press). I really hope to never read a horizontal comic book ever again. Also, I really love this little jelly guy from Warpwalking. #calibercomics #hepcats #caliberpress
(2/2) Hepcats #1 (Double Diamond Press). So excited to finally diving into this series properly. The opening sequence with Joey daydreaming was incredible. Really makes me wish Martin Wagner did a full blown fantasy series (or at least finished this one, I guess). #hepcats #martinwagner
