GUNS ARE BACK IN CEREAL BOXES! Join sassy space cat Lee and his Desert Eagle-toting, soda-swigging human partner, Ali, in a future stuck in the late 80s/early 90s. Board the dynamic duo’s ship, the mythical Kitty, as they bounty-hunt their way through a dystopian solar system—so lock and load, and shout Cowabunga! because it’s crime-fightin’ time!
KITTY KITTY is a fast-paced pulp cartoonish tragedy mixing cyberpunk, space romp and retrofuturism. This extended edition is a complete overhaul of the adventures of Lee and Ali, originally published in an earlier version also called THE FUTURE THAT NEVER KITTY KITTY in 2021. This book also contains the two special episodes reworked to fit in with the main story line once featured in FUTURE THAT NEVER RADIO FREAKS originally published a year after the first issues.

Quentin Raffoux’s Kitty Kitty is a provocative and stylistically daring work of contemporary cyberpunk fiction that blurs the lines between a cartoonish neo-noir space romp and a social critique—all with a cat as a main character. The novel drags its protagonist through a neon-soaked solar system, fueled by a sharp, visceral prose that captures the frantic pulse of modern alienation. It carries a "pulp" energy that feels like an R-rated cartoon, perfectly blending a dark sense of humor with a wildly offbeat (décalé) tone. The strength of the book lies in its uncompromising look at the loneliness of the two main characters, grounded by fantastic 90s references that add a nostalgic layer to the chaos. While the transgressive themes and raw imagery may be polarizing, they are essential to this bold, uncomfortable, and undeniably weird series starter. It’s a high-speed, pitch-black journey that manages to be as hilarious as it is haunting.
