Louis Wain Fact #79:
Louis Wain’s comic career is comparatively obscure and has since been almost entirely forgotten, but at the time was a major part of his work. In the UK he had a number of long-lasting series [such as Tom and Dick,] whereas his US series were sporadic and often shifting titles, including Adventures of Billy Kitten, Adventures of Toby Maltese, Adventures of Tom Scratch, Tom Catt, and The Velvetpaw Family.

Wain was an advocate of families taking their pets with them and opposed the apparently then-common notion of letting them fend on their own while their owners were away.
