CatCalendar: 2006 (Wall)
by B. Kliban
"The debauchery continues. Cats have a go at Abstract Expressionism (and simultaneous inadvertent body art), feed a wild variety of birds from a park bench with nary a thought to their own nominally predatory nature, doze in the soporific vapors of a plate of pasta, and pop furtively from the tall grass at the rustle of a sandwich being unwrapped."

Kliban revolutionized the world of cartooning. And not just with his cats, but in bestsellers like Tiny Footprints, Whack Your Porcupine, Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head. He brought the same edge and attitude to the wall calendar, publishing, in 1980, this massively oversized, completely original work. Genghis and Sylvia Khan. The Birth of Advertising. Monroe is Visited by the Oral Hygiene Fairy. Not a laugh is lost over time. (And not a cat in sight!)

Cat
by Matthew Van Fleet, B. Kliban
It’s the mother of all cat books. The book that gave new meaning to wacka-wacka and forever redefined it.
Cat is the classic that started it all. It gave a voice to catmaniacs around the country and launched an entire genre in publishing and licensing. Everybody went crazy.
“Neither cute nor mysterious but instead simply and irreverently, even raucously, very funny.”—Village Voice.

Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head & Other Drawings
by B. Kliban
All the Kliban people--from Houdini escaping New Jersey to the famed Genghis and Sylvia Khan.
“Not to put down Crumb or Koren or Booth or Rodgriguez or Trudeau or anybody else, but Kliban’s Never Eat Anything Bigger than Your Head & Other Drawings is the only book I’ve read in years that made me howl. I mean thigh-slapping, roll-on-the-ground, can’t-catch-my-breath howling. And every time I go back to it, I find some new detail to chuckle at.”—Charles M. Young, Rolling Stone.

B. Kliban: CatCalendar 2020 Engagement Calendar
by B. Kliban
Although best remembered for his quirky cat illustrations, B. Kliban (American, 1935–1990) was a serious, innovative artist. After determining that formal art school education in the 1950s wasn’t for him, Kliban forged his own art career path that took him from figure sketching in Florence’s Uffizi Gallery to thirty years of creating satirical cartoons for such publications as
Playboy,
Esquire, and the
New Yorker. In 1975, with his groundbreaking book
Cat, Kliban made history sharing the antics of his furry companions with humans everywhere. An offbeat interpreter of all things cat, Kliban was a funny, erudite man and one of the most artful cartoonists of his time. This cheery engagement calendar includes some sixty of his Cat paintings and cartoons, more than enough for a year full of feline mayhem.
