Cats & Comic Books

by | May 12, 2025 | Articles | 0 comments

Today’s Monday blog post will have to be a short one. The reason? Cats and comic books.

Okay, it’s actually just comic books. Let me explain.

The latest obsessions/topics of discussion in the Sahno household have been cats and comics. To make a long story short, I’m in the process of selling off most of my vintage comic book collection on eBay—a process through which I’ve realized that I’m vintage. Perhaps a topic best saved for another day.

As for the cats….well, we don’t have one right now, but my wife plans to get some purebreds in Thailand and raise them. I love cats, too, so the discussions have been lengthy—so much so that cats have been appearing in my dreams as often as comic books. (See last week’s post on my hectic dream life, which doesn’t even address the cat/comic theme.)

That’s it for this week. I’m off to the post office to ship some comic books. Hope this brought you a smile, and thanks for reading!

Anima rising, Queen of queens Wash my guilt of Eden Wash and balance me - Joni Mitchell, Don’t Interrupt the Sorrow   I’ve always enjoyed learning new words—or, as is more likely at my age, relearning words I’ve forgotten—so I was pleased to put syzygy in the...

Book Launch Time: The Biggest Day In A Writer’s Life
