Engineering on Friday ‘toon: The Cats of Makers and Engineers
Who doesn't want to dress their pets up? I do. But Laser runs too fast.
I imagine a lot of anxious cats are living with makers and engineers.
It's hard to be a kitty these days. Cats are the world's most favorite pet, based on the volume of memes alone. Did you know there's a Cat Video Fest? That link doesn't do the phenomenon justice. There are countless theatres everywhere showing annual fest videos. Search your hometown! Well worth the price.
I'm not the first to bring Gundam to life with their cat. You can 3D print your own. Or paper craft it.
In this cartoon, I didn't want to draw yet another dev board, so I pulled one from a previous sketch. I drew the Raspberry Pi here, but when I scale it down, it's hard to see that it's drawn.
Did you miss last week’s cartoon? I tried my hand at state-of-affairs satire.
