Bad Year To Be a Cat<\/strong>\u00a0is a Shanghai comic series that imagines the life of a cat during\u00a0Dog Year<\/strong>\u00a0in Shanghai, China. As the\u00a0That’s Shanghai magazine<\/strong>\u00a0says, “Each comic takes place in a different area of Shanghai, the artistic style adjusting itself to mirror the feeling, tone and character of that neighborhood, as well as to celebrate the cultural richness of the city. This month,\u00a0Bad Year To Be a Cat\u00a0<\/strong>invites you to imagine Chinese Dog Year through the eyes of a cat.”<\/p>\n

Bad Year to Be a Cat, comic #1, In the Former French Concession\u00a0<\/strong>was published by\u00a0That’s Shanghai<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0magazine. the series was created due to the success of the\u00a0Bedding Shanghai\u00a0<\/strong>comic at the\u00a0Shanghai International Literary Festival<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dave exhibited this series of pastel drawings at the 2019 exhibition\u00a0Contact<\/strong>\u00a0in Suzhou, China.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4164,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[672,146,686,679,147,153],"tags":[796,708,812,801,811,805,807,803,813,804,176,815,523,793,12,635,814,806,808,802,810,809,794,816,818,819,817,177,798,800,500,792,799,797,795,552],"class_list":["post-4205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-china-art","category-comic-art","category-contact","category-shanghai-art","category-travel-art","tag-about-shanghai","tag-acrylic-painting","tag-art-with-pats","tag-bad-year-to-be-a-cat","tag-cat-art","tag-cat-cartoon","tag-cat-comic","tag-cat-in-dog-year","tag-cat-painting","tag-cats-and-dogs","tag-china-art","tag-comc","tag-comic-art","tag-comic-illustration","tag-dave-alber","tag-dave-alber-art","tag-dave-alber-comic","tag-dog-cartoon","tag-dog-comic","tag-dog-year","tag-dog-year-art","tag-dog-year-comic","tag-painted-comic","tag-pastel-art","tag-pastel-comic","tag-pastel-comic-art","tag-pastel-illustration","tag-shanghai-art","tag-shanghai-attractions","tag-shanghai-cat","tag-shanghai-comic","tag-shanghai-comic-art","tag-shanghai-features","tag-shanghai-monuments","tag-shanghai-tourism","tag-thats-shanghai"],"yoast_head":"\nComic Art: Bad Year to Be a Cat, comic #1, In the Former French Concession -
