The short version of this story is that some strays came around and like dummies me and the wife started feeding them, and they eventually had some kittens. The strays are gone now, but of course we’ve been taking care of the kittens. They were living in an enclosed porch we have attached to the house, with the door open just enough for them to come and go, but not wide enough for tomcats or possums and what have you to get in. It’s been so hot lately that we moved them indoor, and have even started getting them their shots. They’re currently parasite free, and quite domesticated. They figured out the litterbox while they were still on the porch in less than a day. They were born on Memorial Day weekend, so that puts then at about 11 weeks now. They haven’t been fixed yet, as they need to be 12 weeks old at least. There’s 5 of them, 4 girls, one boy. They’re all black except for one girl. The boy also has a little white patch on his chest. The problem is we already have 2 adult cats and besides not wanting a territory spraying war inside the house, we’re fairly certain that one or the other cats would probably murder the kittens before too long. The kittens are, well, rambunctious, as kittens are wont to be, and our cats would get tired of that real fast I think.

We’ve contacted all the no kill shelters in the area, but apparently they’re flush with kittens right now. We’ve hit up friends on facbook, the wife has asked around at work, so now I’m asking around at my work. Here’s some badly framed video of them. I’m not looking to sell them, I just want to find good homes for them, so if you’re in the DFW area or know someone who is, please email me at grrlpowercomic at gmail.

Update: We’ve adopted out two of the kittens. With all 5 they were too much to handle, but three? We’ve become kind of attached and we’re thinking about keeping them, assuming we can integrate them with the two cats we already have. A 5 cat household is a lot though, so we’ll see how it goes.

Click through to the DeviantArt page to see it, since I at least think of the children. Actually I’m mostly thinking of people at work. (Or just click here to see it since you have to be signed up at DA to see mature stuff.)

If you’re not familiar with the VDSD, it’s basically an excuse for webcomicers to draw one or more of their characters in the nip. Most of these links just go to their page, which should have a link on it to the good stuff, but just to be safe, consider each link potentially NSFW.

Ever notice how girls with odd skin color tend to be kind of tall? Throw the comic a vote to see what I’m talking about. Max is 6’1″, Dabbler is 5’10”, and I have measurements for some of the girls but I had to make assumptions about a lot of the others.

I hadn’t planned on using this picture again, at least until it was totally finished, but I spent a lot of time on it and I don’t really have anything else ready at this point. I say totally finished because in my head it will have at least 5 girls of each hue (including the non-hued “chalky” ones at the one end and the “dusky” ones at the other. This is assuming I can think of 5 of each color. Blue seems to be the easiest. Yellow will be tougher, as will “dusky.” Red is curiously difficult as well. I’m constraining myself to characters people will have a chance to recognize, even if they’re kind of obscure, so “some red demon chick” doesn’t make the cut, nor does someone’s OC they’ve drawn three times and put on DA 7 years ago.

The final version may have a different background on it as I’m thinking of adding some lounge chairs or pillows for some of them to sit on. I’ll also post a bigger version of it and also probably make some prints to sell at cons and what not. Compare this one to the first version posted up at DeviantArt.
