I have no idea how Zane Lamprey got their kitten wedged into their photocopier or why.

This is 2025. Are we still reproducing cats with a copier? I had expected some sort of 3-D print or nanotechnology by now.

Also reminds me of one of my favorite A Softer World comics.
Be sure to read the mouseover (or tap the comic on mobile)

I hated myself for looking for and finding telltail [sic] signs of kittens where, per the gag, they shouldn't be. Then I decided the homespun-ness made the whole thing more charming.

That's almost the whole of what makes it charming. This concept could have been an AI clip with a crudely obscured watermark, these days.
(doesn't the same cat actually go through twice at one point?)

Do you want the entire world turned into kittens by a mad AI?!!!

Ok, I'm in. Bring on the AGI kitten apocalypse! Take that, "AI safety" experts.

Given how long Zane's been working in the TV industry, I'd be surprised if ever thought of going the AI route.

i seem to remember a similar gag on tumblr with an old laser printer and they put a black kitten in and the first kitten out was also black, then they got a dark grey one, and a grey one, and a white one, while the "add toner" light started flashing

[chasing: "God I hate TikTok..."
Comment removed, as it adds nothing to the conversation and is potentially derailing.
It's fine to not like a particular social media platform, but since it's a personal preference thing, there's no need to share that information with everyone else. ]

As a rule, I don't tik tok, but this was just what the doctor ordered. I will not watch it on loop because I'm supposed to finishing a grant proposal.
