Meet the new boss.
JK this cat doesn’t work for Tor. At least, we’re pretty sure, with remote work it’s hard to tell who is and isn’t a cat. The person posting this could be a cat. You’d literally never know.
But we do know you should check out Starter Villain by John Scalzi, because it does have hyper intelligent cats working for a villainous organization.
WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT
When divorced substitute teacher Charlie’s long-lost uncle Jake dies, he’s not expecting much. Certainly not to inherit a supervillain business, complete with an island volcano lair, giant laser death rays, lava pits, and hyper-intelligent talking spy cats.
But it gets worse.
Because his uncle wasn’t just a supervillain. He was a supervillain who was in the middle of trying to take down the other supervillains. Somewhere along the way he decided that the rich, soulless predators back by multinational corporations and venture capital were a bad idea. And they needed to be stopped.
And now they’re after Charlie.

I wanted to do something fun and simple for my first steam after being gone for almost a month, so I combined two of my favorite things: books and cats! I loved the resulting sketches so much that I turned them into full pieces. Thank you to my Twitch viewers for helping me come up with cat puns for the books!
You can now get both prints at Gumroad.

In a dog-eat-dog world…be a cat.
When Charlie inherits his uncle’s villain business, one of the most surprising things about it is the cats. The sentient, super-intelligent, computer-using cats.
And let’s not even get started on the dolphins.
