While my main KITTY & ALIEN comic is on hiatus, I'm starting a new comic called KITTY & ALIEN: AT WORK next week. This comic will showcase snapshots of Kitty and Alien and their new coworkers in a strange yet eerily typical office environment! #indiecomics #kittyandalien

A donkey boss and an office worker are walking through some cubicles and floating above them it says KITTY & ALIEN: AT WORK

Tom Kaczmarek @aisle4studios.com · 02/09/2026

Unfortunately, I need to extend the hiatus of ‘Kitty & Alien.’ This is a project I really want to be working on, but there are still too many external factors preventing me from having the time and energy to do it the way I want it to be done.

Image of Kitty and Alien walking into the distance with the words "Kitty & Alien will be back in a bit..." floating over them.

Tom Kaczmarek @aisle4studios.com · 19/08/2026

I’ve got a lot going on at the moment, so Kitty & Alien are going to take a short break while I catch up on some things. But we’ll be back in two weeks on September 2 for the Art Fair Saga and other adventures! Thanks!

Post-it notes on a desk that say, “Oh no, I guess the art fair is really far away… So, no new Kitty & Alien this week. :( We'll rejoin Kitty and Alien and C4 at the art fair in 2 weeks! The Art Fair Saga begins September 2!”

Alien: 🎨

Panel 4:
