B. Kliban cat art

I never knew if B. Kliban was a man or a woman, but damn if I didn't know the name, and associate it with his oh-so-distinctive cat art that was everywhere in the 1980s.

Turns out he was a man, Bernard Kliban, who died in 1990. He was only 55 when he died of a pulmonary embolism. (His widow later married Bill "David Banner" Bixby -- how's that for a 1980s connection?)

His cats were everywhere. Mugs. Greeting cards. Stationary. It was hard to go to a mall in the 1980s and not see it somewhere.

Do you remember Kliban's cat art?
