OPPD #18: What's Michael?

From What's Michael, which is sometimes referred to as the Japanese version of Garfield, only actually funny. Artist Makoto Kobayashi is clearly *very* familiar with cats and their ways, and his renderings of Michael and company strike the balance between cartoony-funny and uncannily realistic. Even though Michael and his human caretakers are Japanese, the humor translates wonderfully. A great manga for people who don't read manga much (like myself).
