What does the Pageticker team say about Cat Kid Comic Club?

An energetic mix of comics, photography, poetry, collage and other art forms, which makes every frog’s creative voice feel different. Its warm message about persistence, friendship and learning from mistakes will encourage budding artists, while the fast-paced humour suits children who enjoy Dog Man-style silliness: expect plenty of toilet humour, name-calling and some slightly morbid jokes alongside the positive messages.
