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.

And the branches are rustling a murmurous rune,
The Owls sit in council, like prophets of Fate,
Discussing grave questions of Kingdom and State.
They wink and they blink, and they blink and they wink,
Till midnight grows black and commands them to flit
With a “Shoo! To-whoo!” and a “Whirr! Tu-whit!”
