 This was a last minute entry but one conceived a few days earlier but no shooting time.

Whenever the rules loosen I always take advantage and yes, I realize that the purist resent liberties. They prefer tonal integrity to a composite.

To me they both serve a purpose and another avenue of self expression.

I love this picture! The cat's expression is perfect, the "cat audience" is charming, and the humor is right on the mark.

Nice attention to detail with the shadows. It even has the 'look' of a Larson comic. 8

Aww, poor cat is missing the board with his pointer! This is a really funny image and is done well also. I can see a couple areas of what would be, for me, improvement: centering of the text, a bit more realism around the nap-supper-stretch note and the top-right picture (I like the cartoonishness of your image but as you added shadows to the main cat (and did it well, I might add) then I would have liked to see the shadows or a bit more 3-D in the other areas to match, that or just remove the main shadow so it's all kind of flat.)

I think you did really well with the cats in the foreground and the diagram of the can opener is just priceless! I know I had a lot to say about "improvements" but you did a good job.

I love this one! Ever read the one where the dogs are looking at schematics of doorknobs trying to master it?
