Today On The Goober Cat Advent. It's Them! It's The Gang! They've Summoned Santa. For Very Reasonable

I just shut my drawer. Looked down. HOLY CLAPPING MONKEYS, ERIK, WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?

Woolly Erik photoshoot here.

Apparently, 15 years (and two, three days) ago, Love Never Dies had its first run.

Have some snarky Ramin Phantom from Devil Take the Hindmost

And why not have the Ben Lewis version, too?

I honestly didn't have to add much chaos at all, it's... what happened

More POTO cats here, a rant about LND here and more LND cats here.

I love Gerik the Cat and cat vampires that you have drawn! Could you draw Gerik as 12 — a supernatural being? He must be so cute with vampire fangs 💗

He's here! The vampurr of the opurra!

Gerik ticks all the vampire essentials except for the FANGS. He even has a Byronic shirt, and we all know Byron was the first model pretty vampire.

From this prompt list! Send in which items (and cats) you want to see! I already have two cat kisses in the wings... 👀

All POTO cats here!

Thank you, Tumblr, for showing me ads I absolutely don't want to see. I mean it in the most unironic way possible.

Maybe I'm a paranoid mediaeval minion, but I get absolutely horrified whenever an Internet platforms shows me ads featuring something I searched for just once, seconds ago, on another platform. It makes me feel stalked.

(Unimpressed cat is Daniel Meowlloy from my Interview with the Vampurr "Disregard!" comic)

Erik live reaction:

Thank you so much for doing this - and so fast! I tip my hat to you!

And I am simply delighted that you hear Lerik in this song too, it's his song, poor, unhappy "I just want to be like everybody else" Erik.

Will Wood + PoTO is one of my favourite things. I have a comic and the bare bones of an animatic.

Love me normally – Will Wood

@purrlockswatson request

This song is so Lerik coded omg

I used to be mad that my star sign's ruling planet is Jupiter because the god Jupiter is a bit of a cur, but LOOK! I made little stimming paws when I saw this!!

(Side note, no, Meta, I'm not using the fudging app, you sneaky little fopdoodle.)

(Reaction image is BBC Purrlock)

(Oh wait, I've actually drawn Jupiter/Zeus as a cat!!)

Cat Character Reference Sheet Comms!

Have your favourite character drawn as a cat! Showcase their best quotes and silly moments. Example is BBC's Purrlock and his shenanigans, which OC or best goober do you want to see cattified?

(Purrlock put that sheet back on this instant)

Commission here on Ko-fi!

If you're having an existential crisis, it's good to have a vampire friend who will lend you his coffin to hide from the world in.

Well. Sort of good.

Hope you feel better soon!

Look, I'd I'd sleep with fourty-six 2024 Count Orloks in my face without a PEEP if it means i get a coffinmate!! Thank you, Aurik (and Vlad!!) I don't know what I've ever done to deserve all this kindness!

I can't get over how fluffy I am and my jumper and aaaaaaahhhh

Massive thank-you and love to everyone who left me a kind word (and drawings! And cats!!!), I'm scrunched up in a small happy ball right now with aaahhhhh running through my brain on loop. I never expected any of this, thank you!

BAD. That's dirty fighting! Here, have this, okay?

(I'll have you know that Vlad is the whole reason I put in the sidenote. He's that notorious.)

which phantom is ur fav. in all versions. please.

Aahhhhh!

Got to say the OG O.G., Leroux's Erik, but it's EXTREMELY PAINFUL to say so and PLEASE don't tell me all the versions I didn't pick will be put on a converter belt to a Phantom meat grinder

(I'm sorry to every Phan friend who sees this. Cherik lovers, don't come at me with swords, I do love him, okay?)

All my Phantom art in which there is NO FAVOURITISM, I swear
