"The Cat is fat and ugly, but he has that physical self-assurance of happy fools or those who pretend to be. One of the forms of humor I love above all else is self-deprecation. With The Cat, I often feel like I'm making fun of myself vicariously. There's certainly a slightly cowardly, even a bit twisted, aspect to it, since the very essence of self-deprecation is to be able to laugh at oneself, whereas I'm making people laugh at him. But I still believe that it's really myself I'm trying to make people laugh at, through him, a bit like an actor who, through his facial expressions, makes the audience laugh, not at himself, but at the character he's playing. In a way, I write sketches that The Cat performs." Philippe Geluck, author.
