In this book, David Walton explores European comic-book biker publications as a subgenre of popular culture. Using a multidisciplinary approach, he reveals an intricate amalgam of ingenuity, irony, and highly ambiguous humor. The creative resourcefulness of the comic-book biker authors is seen to dramatize and celebrate the material existence of motorcycles and lifestyles while laughing at the foibles, inconsistencies, manias, fantasies, and practices of those characterised as motorized flâneurs.

When Cat, her dad, his girlfriend Samantha, and her son Virgil, bring Sushi the cat to a family farm, the cat antics get elevated to a new level. Holy cow! Life on a farm is anything but simple with Sushi calling the shots. Wait… is that a cat ghost in the old barn? Just when you think it can’t possibly get any weirder, Sushi becomes a movie star when he gets selected for a role in a film! Will stardom go to his head? How can you keep that cat down on the farm once he becomes a super-star? He has one talent that can’t be beat: he is impossible to control!
After a long day of chasing around Sushi the cat, paying attention to Sushi the cat, and catering to Sushi the cat’s every whim, Sushi’s owner Cat and her dad get exhausted. But you did know that cats are nocturnal, right? And when Cat and her dad are away, sleeping, Sushi the cat will play… much like when Cat’s dad is off with his new girlfriend, Sam. Cat and Sam’s kid Virgil will get up to tricks as well, like fitting Sushi with a go-pro camera. Who knows what insanity will ensue next? But we’re sure it’ll be another catastrophe! A Cat and Catastrophe!
The adventures of Catherine and her cat, Sushi, continue in more comic escapades. To get away from it all, and get some rest and relaxation, Cat, her cat, and her dad visit the great outdoors. Being a single parent is never easy, and having a daughter such as Cat, not to mention a cat that’s also very much a part of the family, may be too much for her dad to handle no matter how much they all may love each other! Rough waters are ahead for the family of three, especially after Dad drops the bombshell: they’re moving! And we all know how much cats love water…!
Since her dad started going out with Samantha, young Cat and her feisty cat, Sushi, have had plenty of time to entertain themselves. But with Samantha comes her video game-addicted son, Virgil. Now, Virgil, Cat, and her cat must choose between banding together to fight against boredom or compete for the run of the house. Just when things are finally going smoothly, the clan takes a Euro trip that the continent might not be fully prepared for!
Life was quiet for Cath and her dad, living alone. But when they adopt a cat named Sushi, things get a bit too exciting! Between turning everything into either a personal scratching post or litter box, and the constant cat and mouse game of “love me/leave me alone,” Cath and Dad have a lot to learn! Cath also learns how good it is to have a constant companion, a role Cath’s dad is trying to fill on his own. It’s a hilarious and heartwarming adventure of daily life of this little girl…with a dad and a cat along for the ride!
