When Kim begins to research this forgotten figure. he uncovers one almost unbelievable story after another: about the Furries. a tiny subculture of people who dress up as cartoon animals in order to have sex; about Keller and Frankie. two seamen stranded on a Pacific island. forced to make cat toys to appease the natives; about the secret lover of Alias's alter ego. Malek Janochek; and. of course. about Deitch's own Waldo the Cat. the common thread weaving the stories together as Kim and Pam move toward a fateful showdown in Midgetville. New Jersey. of course. Alias the Cat is Kim Deitch at his eye-catching. mind-bending best.Weight in Kg appr.:
