I Still Hate Cats is the 20th anniversary edition of the original New York Times bestsellers, The Official I Hate Cats Book and the Second Official I Hate Cats Book, published in 1980 and 1981. In this new book Morrow has redrawn in full color, his favorite selections of those timeless cartoons. If you happen to be of the new generation of "cat lovers" and "cat haters" who are unfamiliar with Skip's previous books, the illustrations can best be described as portraying man's "strained" relationship with his cat and his subsequent fantasies of revenge. Skip Morrow's whimsical satire is if often said to be aimed more directly at doting cat lovers, than at their misbehaving felines. "...[Skip Morrow is] refining and spicing those time-tested cartoons with his tempered drawing abilities and painstakingly-rendered computerized color." -- The Brattleboro Reformer, October 19, 2000 "Be sure to get Skip Morrow's I Still Hate Cats with his wild suggestions." -- Gene Shallit, The Today Show, December 18, 2000 "For fans of the original 'I Hate Cats Books' seeing the cartoons in color and re-interpreted is a new treat." -- The Deerfield Valley News, September 7, 2000 "For fans of the original I Hate Cats Books, seeing the cartoons in color, and reinterpreted, is a new treat." -- The Deerfield Valley News, Sept. 17, 2000 "In 1980 Skip Morrow astonished the publishing community with the instant success of his irreverently hilarious Official I Hate Cats Books. He became a member of a very small group of authors to have two books appear simultaneously on The New York Times bestseller list, igniting a fire storm of controversy, commentary, and creative copycats worldwide. In this 20th anniversary edition, Morrow now revisits his favorite illustrations from the notorious humor classics that started all the fuss. They appear here redrawn in full color for a whole new generation of "cat haters" and "cat lovers" to laugh and hiss over for many years to come." The I Still Hate Cats project is special to me. After the whirlwind success of my Official I Hate Cats books in 1980, I refused to return to the cats theme, so that I might further develop my humor and illustration skills without the risk of being stereotyped as only "the cat guy". I've had much fun and success in pursuing new areas, but as the 20th anniversary of those books approached, I could not resist the invitation to revisit the theme for old time's sake. It was truly fun to get reacquainted with those older cartoons of mine, and to use them as roughs for new and fully developed color illustrations that exhibit many of the techniques that I have worked on over the years. I can only speculate on why my cat books humor has seemingly held up over the years. Permeated throughout popular western culture, cats have represented that which man could not completely understand or control..that gets people pissed off. This stereotype of cats has resulted in their portrayal as aloof, sneaky and mysterious. Illustrating cats in, shall we say, "compromising situations" seemed to strike a humorous semi-universal chord that tickled the funny bones of "cat lovers" and "haters" alike. As a cartoonist, once I discovered this little axiom, I ran with it. The rest is hysterical. Twenty years ago Skip Morrow's enormously popular Official I Hate Cats Books established his career as an extraordinarily twisted cartoonist. Today he has sixteen books and well over a thousand published greeting card designs (Recycled Paper Products) to his credit. He also enjoys a sucessful freelance illustration career with past clients such as IBM, Coors, Nations Business Magazine, Virgin Atlantic Airways, CBS, Hitachi, Frito-Lay, Duracell, Random House, Simon & Schuster, Video Review Magazine, NYNEX, and Prudential. Skip is also an accomplished singer and musician who performs professionally throughout the Northeastern U.S., the Carribean, and Bermuda. He lives in Vermont with his wife, two daughters, their dog Charlotte, and their two cats, Ben and Milo. Used Book in Good Condition
