A plump white cat sits centered in a teal circle, holding a bowl of treats while gazing directly outward with wide, knowing eyes, surrounded by bold curved shapes in cream, coral, and teal. Black lettering curves around the top and bottom in a playful arc, reading "The Horrors Persist" and "But So Do the Little Treats," capturing a witty meditation on finding comfort in small joys amid life's difficulties. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
