Haway Man, Klaus! is the first complete collection of comics chronicling the misadventures of Klaus, Richard Short's thoughtful, anthropomorphic cat.
\n
\nReinvigorating the classic comic strip, Short salutes Charles Schulz's Peanuts, Tove Jansson's Moomins, and the Japanese masters of comics, before quickly moving into an original, strange, and utterly unique world of slapstick comedy and poetic rumination.
\n
\nShort's wit, sometimes gentle, sometimes acerbic, is expressed through his mastery of clean line drawing, revealing a tapestry of endearing human emotions through a gallery of offbeat characters. Occupying a wholly original space in today's comics landscape, Haway Man, Klaus! breathes new life into the comics format.

\n"Short] creates beautiful, funny, thoughtful comics... Short's comics start from a Charles Schulz template but become increasingly complex, philosophical, and beautiful... endlessly entertaining, delving into the emotional depths of the character and providing fodder for some remarkable punchlines... this is truly an excellent work and highly recommended to readers who like their humor mixed with poetry." Rob Clough, High Low Comics
