Hey! It's station identification time!
I'm Cat Farris, comic book artist and cartoonist. Here's what my art looks like:
A three panel page from my comic The Great Train Haunting. Panel one: a chibi style woman stands in her extremely messy 1910's newspaper office. It's littered with supernatural memorabilia/Old West shit. Panel two: She holds a human skull with a horn on it and scowls at it. Panel three: ots shot of her looking at her weird old typewriter. The cover art for the GN MY BOYFRIEND IS A BEAR. A romance novel style cover featuring a large cartoon black bear in an open plaid shirt holding a cartoon woman in a dress. Double page spread from the GN THE GHOUL NEXT DOOR. Done in black, white, red, orange, it's a montage piece telling the story of pilgrims who were persecuted by their community and fled under the graveyard to eventually become ghouls. Page from the GN THE GHOUL NEXT DOOR. 5 panel page of Grey and his friend arguing about taking a shortcut through a cemetery on the way to school.

Here's an essay years in the making:

In 2019 I decided to run the Dipsea Race because of a movie I saw in 1986. The race got pandemic-delayed. So I started interviewing the people who made the movie — Bruce Dern, Pam Grier, and many others.

The result:

Silksong Halloween with @cattifer.bsky.social!
Photo of us posing. Cat's Sherma costume is mostly game-accurate, with purple cape, white mask with dot eyes over her face, and golden round hat. My costume is sort of a streetwear take on Hornet, with a red rain poncho, black cargo joggers, and white mask worn on the side of my head. We both hold crafted needle props in our hands. Photo of us in new poses. I'm crouched down holding needle in front, and she's in a prayer-like pose, holding her needle with both hands. Selfie on us closer up. She holds up a peace sign and I'm making a faux serious face. Photo of us at a Halloween party showing off our costumes. A table of party food sits behind us.

Went out to a Japanese restaurant once and the bro-iest broheim next to us kept talking about karaage, but saying "kaRAjee". It will never leave my head.

do you ever have things that someone has said to you that live forever in your head (non-serious edition)? some older boomer hippie guy said “hahmmus gives you fahts” to me 26 years ago at a free fridge and i think of it every fucking single time i buy hummus to this day.

My very favorite band, Murder By Death, is hanging it up after 25 years. I made them this small painting and handed it off last night at their final Portland show. I'm going to miss them so much. Their music has meant a lot to me over the years.
Painting of a desert at dusk. A giant dilapidated skeleton surrounds a bunch of people playing music around a campfire. Pic from the show. A man with a guitar is singing in the spotlight, while a cellist and violinist play to the side behind him. Pic from the show. Teal and purple lit stage with a seven piece band playing on it. Pic from the show. A guitarist and cellist together on stage, framed between two audience members.

Did a custom cover for The Hero Initiative recently and I'm pretty proud of it! Baby's first time trying an all-marker piece. I thought the paper would take it better than watercolor, but lol, lmao. Still looks good though!

Good Devils: Don't Play Fair With Evil is here!
Me & @nickdragotta.bsky.social co-created it, @sievish.bsky.social designed it, and @erikaschnatz.bsky.social got us ready for press at Image. I feel really fortunate to have made another book entirely with friends. Rare feeling.
Anyway, please buy it!

Yo any sock-makers out there that make cute warm fuzzy socks? Maybe ones that look like cat paws or autumn colors or gothy shit or something cute like that? I want some cozy warm socks for my house and if I can get them from an independent artist instead of a big box store I'd love to do that.

Seattle / Washington people! Does anyone need concert tickets to the Oh Hellos?

I have 2 of them because unfortunately they land on my surgery dates which is Oct 31st. Lemme know if anyone (or any one of your friends) needs some. We will just be charging door price or we can work a deal. 😭❤️

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

Went to Canada recently! Here's stuff I saw.
Yes, it's poutine. From Costco!! An overflowing to-go container full of Costco poutine. Seen at Richmond Night Market. A boxy human-ish mascot for a Stinky Tofu stall. He's holding his nose, looks like he's going to barf, and a single tear is coming from his eye. Next to him is a sign with a picture of stinky tofu with the word "Stinky" on it Random thrift store sweatshirt hanging on a rack. It says "Fries before guys". Minutes before dusk at a marsh near Maple Ridge, Canada. Clear sky, yellow marsh grasses, striking blue mountains, all reflected in a pond.

at some point today we're going to be out among thousands of equally concerned citizens in the streets. At first you'll feel bolstered that American indifference is a myth, and a LOT of us care. Then you'll look more at the crowds and think "you know, this COULD be a national strike"

Portland: according to a post on the local Reddit, Noem's visit to the ICE building is being purposefully extended until after dark, presumably to catch some "violent antifa" propaganda. Hold off for tonight, watch out for your neighbors' safety.
Putting this here in the hopes it gets more visibility. FYI for anybody to pass along to people protesting. My company has buildings in the area and were notified that they are holding the motorcade through tonight, meaning they are using her visit at this location as a way to try to provoke protesters into an altercation which they can use justify their response. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. Even better would be to just not protest tonight and give them nothing to use to push their narrative.

Got a business bank account like a professional, and in trying to swap to it for my Patreon deposits it instead just broke my Stripe account. Patreon support has been appallingly useless. I've been talking with them for three weeks and all they say is "we're working on it, please wait."

This dog has been putting in her best effort to keep me from fully flipping my lid. I just came out of the bathroom furious and falling apart, and Coco wagged her tail at me with a look that said "Don't cry, don't be mad. Come lay next to me and give me pets instead." Bless.

If the feds aren't in Portland, then why are there still helicopters buzzing my damn neighborhood constantly? The protesters have been hanging out at ICE for months without all this air fuss. Why is this happening?? @wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov
