What the hell?
Cat Basket comix had it's start as part of a Chibit I wrote in 2007, the first two posted on May 29th. They where drawn with Flash and became a hit with the people who first viewed them, particularly with my fiancé who is working across the country. The comic became a way of cheering him up from being far from home, so I made more Chibits that featured new comic strips to illustrate the rant in a colorful way, however some comics I drew did not have much of a purpose in any rant I could think of. The comics where becoming popular at my workplace and wanted to view my un-posted work, so I launched Cat Basket Comix not long after.

The character 'Chibi Neko' is the online alias of the Cat Basket Network owner, she first appeared on 'Chibi Neko's Gundam Wing Rest Pad' on 02/22/01 as a cat-eared, tailed, poncho loving cat-girl. As the years went, more websites where launched and Chibi Neko underwent make-overs and change of wardrobe. First was the poncho because it was easy and time efficient to draw, then the kimono, and now the pink sweater and blue skirt. The poncho had it's own festive colors for the holidays.

Howard and Yoko Hood in real life are rat plushies, their design are basied on their actual appearance. Howard's sarcastic personality is based on how I view shallow socity, but I amped it up in Howard to make him more entertaining. Yoko Hood is based off my first pet rat 'Yoko'. The plush even looks like her, but not the personality. Yoko Hood is the opposite of Howard, and has strange obsessions, such as a fear of sunlight tying to burn her on purpose.
