Cats in Service

In Cats in Service, cartoonist Megan Kelso explores a quiet, surreal premise where cats take on bureaucratic roles in an unnamed organization. Published from 2014 onward, this single-issue comic uses Kelso’s delicate linework and understated storytelling to examine themes of duty, routine, and the strange dignity of small creatures. It stands as a brief but evocative meditation on the absurdities of labor and the quiet lives of animals, showcasing Kelso’s gift for blending the mundane with the gently fantastical.
