his cat:
New pet cat offers comfort for cartoonist Tom Tomorrow during coronavirus pandemic
Perkins now has a fellow traveler on that endless journey over the barren expanse.
Enter Felix the cat.
A political satirist and humorist with a finely tuned sense of the absurd, Perkins decided it was time for some furry companionship during his life in quarantine, and his new roommate on the Upper West Side of Manhattan has been spreading feline good cheer and mischievous antics for the past two weeks.
He’s black and white, a “tuxedo” in the parlance of cat lovers. His new name seemed obvious.
“It had to be Felix, given the coloration and my profession,” said Perkins, referring to the “Felix the Cat” cartoon series that dates to the silent-film era. Perkins adopted the cat from an informal rescue organization operating in New York.
