This one (above) was originally created by Graham in honour of Ginger, a retirement home cat who brought so much joy to her fellow residents… but doesn’t she resemble someone we all know…?

Above…from the cloud dwellers file… or, do you see what Graham sees…

Welcome to the first ever TEN CATS newsletter! Each Wednesday, you can expect to find a fresh copy landing in your inbox, to meet up with those 10 homeless kitties who have come together in an abandoned warehouse where they are loved and cared for by a young girl named Annie. You can follow their daily exploits on https://www.gocomics.com/ten-cats

We’ll be showing some of our favourite Graham Harrop cartoons, the best of TEN CATS, and sharing the latest cartoon collections. Stay ‘tooned!

From the archives:

For more than two decades, Graham’s work appeared daily in The Globe and Mail, Canada’s national newspaper. His feature “BackBench” was described as tickling the funny bone with his unique take on politics, pop culture and, occasionally, Animals!

We will share some of the most memorable ones right here….

Top review from Canada

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a lot of fun

Reviewed in Canada on January 5, 2024

You might know Graham Harrop from his award-winning cartoon strip Ten Cats or his Vancouver Sun ed-page cartoons or his brilliant BackBench strip in the Globe and Mail — or maybe as the cabby in the gorilla suit. He writes as delightfully as he draws, and from these tales we find he lives just as whimsically too.
This book’s a lively pin-ball ride through Graham”s misadventures over the years in different jobs, in different countries, and in a lot of self-inflicted predicaments worthy of Chaplin.
This book is a lot of fun.
