The Grannyman

(3) K-3 Simon is such an old cat that he can't see or hear and can hardly move through the house, so he decides to give up and die. But his owners have a different idea: when they present him with a kitten, Simon determines to teach the new pet everything he needs to know. The artwork captures both the energy of the kitten and the slow creakiness of the old but beloved Siamese.
