A few months ago, the bowler hats now featured in our Katman series started to crop up on a page of sketches I was doing, while trying to catch an idea which kept eluding me: a story floating around my head involving two cats and a chance encounter with a tall thin man, who appeared at times as Jacques Tati's innocent, lovable character in the classic film "Mon Oncle" and other times as a rather bewildered British man. I drew three bowler hats tossing and turning in my imaginary stormy day and suddenly it all came together! The cats caused havoc as our bowler hatted gent tried and failed to gain the upper hand and the cats plotted an adventure to escape and.......but, wait, that's a whole other story.
