Meet Kitty, my cartoon creation dating from the  Presidential campaign of 1992. Kitty sprang into being as a Friend of Bill and  a Friend of Hillary. (No, I didn't much like GWB's papa, either which may shock some of you.) Kitty infiltrated the 1992 GOP Convention, and managed to appeal to Barbara Bush long enough to infiltrate the Bush White House to sabotage the then-President's reelection campaign.   He shredded speeches, and his top secret mission was to drive George H.W. Bush crazy by behaving as...well, a cat, with all his species' enigmatic aloofness intact.  Kitty must be either blamed or credited for the development of the highly controversial Cat Pee Bomb  in 1992. (Anyone who's had a cat  can tell you cat pee is a  Weapon Quality substance). Through a series of mishaps, Kitty somehow also found himself in Iraq when the Pee Bomb was deployed, and was obliged to steal an Iraqi tank in order to escape Saddam Hussein.  As tank visibility is really wretched if you're a cat with no experience in driving tanks, can Kitty really be blamed for making the Kuwaitis nervous all over again by escaping over the Iraq-Kuwait  border in his purloined Iraqi tank? Fortunately, the Kuwaitis were much relieved to find that ONLY a cat was driving that tank.

         Once safely back home in the U.S. Kitty served briefly as President Clinton's Secretary for Feline Affairs, but could not be appointed to a cabinet level job, as nobody knew who he was or where he came from and  he wasn't even microchipped.  He was nonetheless a valuable if unofficial member of the Clinton White House for two terms, even if he and Socks Clinton weren't always on best terms.  After the electoral brou-haha of 200o and severely discouraged by the defeat of his chosen candidate, Al Gore, Kitty disappeared for sometime. (Read: writing  and drawing a comic strip got too time consuming for me, in my own discouragement.)  Leaving his good friend and apprentice, Fuzzy Math, to infiltrate the Bush White House and continue his work, Kitty spent his time in  a truly undisclosed location.

     But now, realizing the new president could use a hand, or paw, Kitty has decided to return, if only to advance the cause of passing Health Care in America.  (He's a proud Democat and doesn't care who knows it.)He has not found  that America has improved much in his absence, and remembering the defeat of President and Hillary Clinton's bill back in 1994, and fearing the same forces are at work, Kitty decides to get involved in his latest adventure:
