Dreaming

A three-panel MeowTown comic that contrasts a sleeping cat's serene exterior with the carnage of his inner life. Panel one: A dream sequence rendered in apocalyptic reds and oranges. Tater Tot (a buff tabby cat) wearing a green military helmet leads a horde of feral, snarling cats charging across an overturned living room toward fleeing, screaming humans. Flames rise in the background. Panel two: The aftermath. Tater Tot stands triumphantly atop a pile of dead humans, their bodies strewn across the floor with X's for eyes, casually chewing on a severed human arm. Other cats prowl the wreckage. Panel three: Cut to reality. Tater Tot sleeps peacefully on the human's lap, paws twitching mid-kick. The person in the green shirt looks down at him fondly and says, 'Aww... I bet he's dreaming about chasing mice.' The joke: he is definitely not dreaming about chasing mice.

Panel 1:

A dream sequence rendered in apocalyptic reds and oranges. A ransacked world burns in the background, flames rising in the distance. Tater Tot (a buff tabby cat) wears a green military helmet and leads a charging horde of snarling, feral-eyed cats across the scene. Humans flee in the foreground, faces frozen in screams of terror, hands raised in panic.

Panel 2:

The aftermath. The scene is now smoldering and gray. Tater Tot stands triumphantly on a pile of dead human bodies in the center, casually chewing on a severed human arm. Other cats prowl the wreckage, blood on their paws and faces.

Panel 3:

Cut to reality. Tater Tot sleeps peacefully curled on the lap of the person in the green shirt, paws twitching mid-kick as if running in his sleep. The person looks down at him with a tender, indulgent expression.

Person: 'Aww... I bet he's dreaming about chasing mice.'
