A friendship blossoms! In this chapter we find that a cat and a whale can find common ground between them. Even if that common ground happens to be Rolf’s back! We also discover that Ninja Cat is actually a ninja, which shouldn’t have been as much of a surprise for some…

Think about the internet.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what a ‘Super Update’ looks like. Crazy times right?! We are living in the future.

Welcome to the new and – hopefully – improved Ninja Cat and Rolf the Whale. Look at that shiny new URL. Just look at it!

OH and look below here! Disqus right in your face. Amazing. Don’t be shy to shout at me here – or to ask extremely pertinent questions. Or if something ain’t working let me know – all in one convenient place!

We have made our own space in this internet full of naked cats. NC wears clothes. He is classy. Never forget.

What do you know about whales?

Ninja Cat really should do some research about whales. He is embarrassing himself here!

I mean, who DOESN’T know that all whales speak Whalsh? It is, like, the second thing everybody is taught. Gosh!

So I have been toiling away at getting NCaRtW its very own website (which is also partly why this update is so delayed) and I hope to have that sorted out soonish. That will be exciting, right? Having our own website. A place to call home.

So exciting.

I was chatting to Rolf and he said it was a, “…sign of good things to come.” I haven’t replied yet. I have no idea what that guy is talking about sometimes.

What’s in a pound?

You’d think that a cat
would notice a hat.
Rolf is sensitive about his fat.
This is a terrible poem.

Gnome.

The pact.

HAH!

Rolf loves them back rubs yo!

Then again, I don’t think I know any body who DOESN’T like them a back rub from time to time? I mean, it is a part of your body unreachable. An unknown entity. Always there but never seen. The dark side of us all.

Think about it. Think about how you need a back scratch right now. Right in the centre. Just a fraction up from where your finger ends. From either direction. Now tell me they aren’t important.

Scratch peoples’ backs. It is the right thing to do.

Oh snap!

Oh my! Since when do whales know anything about bartering?

Clearly they know everything about *sky darkens* BLACKMAILING *lightning*

This is all too dramatic.

Hope you like this one. I had much fun drawing it. I have also decided to use a font instead of hand-lettering. I HATE my lettering so hopefully this is easier for you to read. I’ll be honest here. It IS easier for me to type.

Pros and cons people. That is what it is all about here at NCaRtW.

Unleash your flurry!

Someone said to me that Ninja Cat is pretty pedestrian for a ninja. I was all like, “Trust me when I say that this guy has the movesTM” but I could tell that this person – who is a REAL person by the way – didn’t really believe me.

Who is laughing NOW person?!

That’s right. I am.

Although I suppose this also highlights how clumsy Ninja Cat can be… less funny, I guess. Unless that is what NC WANTS you to think. Never underestimate a ninja.

Rolf says, “Hi”

,

Nope. Not land.

So not land then… Ninja Cat doesn’t seem too perturbed. THAT’S A PLUS!

Another plus is consistent updates. Who saw THAT coming?!

That’s right. Nobody did.

,

Is that LAND?

WOW! Could it actually be land?

I am just as excited as you are.

Happy 2015 everybody!

I hope that you haven’t missed these guys too much. I will say that they have missed you quite a bit. Rolf mentioned it in a letter a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, he and I write to each other. It’s kind of our thing.

No. You’re weird.

So here is a little factoid: People forget how attached whales and cats get to humans… I am here to remind you just how much. Now you know this.

A birdy told me

Boo!

I seem to have forgotten how to draw. Maybe I am out of practice. WE WON’T TALK ABOUT WHY OK.

Seems like my attempt at not talking about the lack of updates has failed. Quite quickly too… EXCUSE TIME! This year has been BUSY, yo.

I have also picked up this nifty little habit of saying ‘yo’ quite often. Seems like I am legit Street now. So there’s THAT. You can’t draw comics on the STREET?!

yo.

I guess what I am trying to say here is that this update goes out to all my homies.

Ninja training

Well that settles it then.

I don’t think Rolf has encountered many ninjas out in the ocean so perhaps that is why he can’t quite pin down what a ninja is. But can ANY of us do this? COULD YOU PIN DOWN A NINJA?

No. No you could not.

Ninjas are trained professionals at, among other things, NOT being pinned down. And they are snappy dressers.

I wish I was a ninja.

I need to come up with a way to sign these rambles off less sudde-
