Woe: A Housecat's Story of Despair (A Graphic Novel) beckons you into the uproarious and undeniably dramatic world of Linney the House Cat. This graphic novel, featuring the antics of Linney from her webcomic adventures compiled for the first time, is an absolute must-have for cat lovers and Linney enthusiasts alike.

Imagine if our cats could talk—would they bombard us with endless questions about why they haven't received wet food yet... again? Would they cheerfully scream greetings at the first sign of life, long before the sun rises? Linney certainly will.
