Kitty's Laws

About the Book

It’s the “cat’s meow” as cartoonist Daniel Roberts provides a satirical look at owning a cat. Each “law for owning a cat” is written in a “tongue-and-cheek” manner and illustrated with a cartoon drawing. It’s “purrfect” entertainment for cat lovers everywhere who are looking for a laugh.

About the Author

A graphic artist and cartoonist, Daniel Roberts is a graduate of commercial art from Iowa Wesleyan College and a graduate of the Art Instruction School, which he participated in during his junior and senior years of high school.

A life-long resident of the state of Iowa, he has been drawing since he tried copying the Peanuts comic strip characters at the age of 4. This introduced him to his first taste of comic strip drawing. Since graduating college, he has had his cartoons published in national magazines, including “Woman’s World”, “The Saturday Evening Post”, “Rural Heritage” and “Country Folk” and in King Features Syndicate’s “The New Breed” comic strip. Since 2000, two comic strip syndicates, Beacon Entertainment Syndicate of TN and Artist Market Syndicate, have been promoting two on-going strips to newspapers.  His political cartoons and comic strip “Haley’s Comment” have appeared regularly in the publication “Toons” during 2003. He has also had cartoons with an art theme published on a regular basis in the new Iowa based newspaper “Art Scene”.

His first cartoon book “The Funny Side of Hunting and Fishing” appeared bookstores in May of 2003. This was followed by children’s picture book “Little Mother Goose”. He has illustrated four more children’s picture books: “The Great Dino-Circus” and “Chicken in the Hen House: A Counting Book”, “Harrison and his Dinosaur Robot” as well as “Do Fish Sneeze? and other Children’s Rhymes” which was written by children’s poet, Jean Tweed. Several cartoons were scheduled to appear in a poetry book about housekeeping to be published in early 2004.
