Mario Acevedo
Here's what Hex says about Mario's latest project.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, award-winning author and artist Mario Acevedo chronicled life in lockdown with a daily cartoon. Cats in Quarantine, a single-panel comic, appeared every day on Acevedo’s social media, and every day, it drew more fans. As the days and weeks stretched to months and years, these sketches became more than a pastime for Acevedo, more than a touchstone for his friends. They became an incisive record of a historical turning point. From toilet paper and vaccines to political pique and social unrest, Cats in Quarantine captured the zeitgeist of the Covid era with Acevedo’s signature humor and keen, observant intelligence.
This collection of 300 Cats in Quarantine favorites commemorates the tragic and the absurd, the frustrations, fear, and loss that marked a time we might want to forget, but one humanity would do well to remember.
Written and illustrated by Mario Acevedo.

Humor about the pandemic? Too soon? Not for Denver author/artist/renaissance man Mario Acevedo. He had all of us laughing about quarantines, vaccinations, masks, and other assorted COVID paraphernalia during the darkest times of 2020-2021. With cats and cartoons, if you can believe that. And you should because it's true.

Mario's cynical, brash, and irreverent cats spoke for many who felt gob smacked by the virus. They came along just when we needed them, and Hex Publishers deserves a hearty "thank you," muchísimas gracias, for preserving their wit and wisdom.
