The Same Artist Who Made People Cry With Her Comic ‘Good Boy’ Just Shared A New One With A Black Cat

ADVERTISEMENT

Death takes us away in mysterious ways. And while we can’t know for sure when or how we’ll leave this world, it’s the fact itself that we have to make peace with. Exploring the possibilities of the afterlife, artist Jenny Jinya created a few sad comics, and they’re really touching as well.

One is about a good boy who passed away a lot sooner than you’d expect, and the other sad story is about an equally good lady whose black fur stopped a lot of people from getting to know her.

While these cartoon drawings deal with a difficult subject matter, Jenny has found a way to present death as something hopeful, rather than devastating. And who knows, maybe it isn’t as bad as we picture it?

More info: jenny-jinya.com | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

P.S. Jenny regularly contributes to Bored Panda, so if you like these black cat comics, check out her submission titled I’m An Incredibly Shy Person So I Made These 8 Comics To Show What It’s Like or simply fire up her profile on our platform.

“There are dozens of posters and infographics with various statistics about abused or abandoned animals. Many know the problems, but such information is quickly forgotten,” Jenny told Bored Panda. “I try to give a voice to the victims with my sad drawings. I want the affected pet animals to be able to tell their own stories. I hope I can raise awareness this way.”

The artist said she can’t decide if death is just a state or the beginning of a new adventure: “Who knows. I’m not the one to answer that. But I like to imagine death as a person who is just doing their job. People hate them for what they’re doing, but in the end, someone has to do it. I like to imagine Death to be a gentle and insightful being.”

Here’s another similar comic that Jenny made earlier

“For all I know, we could be part of the biggest MMORPG in the whole universe, but there’s no way of knowing it,” Jenny concluded. “Now go and hug your pet!”

People started relating to the first strip by sharing pictures of their black kitties

That "Good Boy" comic gets me every darn time. The "Me is the death" panel makes me smile uncontrollably though. The black cat comic is thoughtful, and bittersweet.

This breaks my heart. Someone had shot my sweet Pepper, a gorgeous black house panther with the most affectionate disposition and a purr that was even bigger than he was, before he found me gardening in my yard 16 summers ago. He died this past August after a two-year battle with congestive heart failure. It seems extra cruel that he died from having a big heart. He took such faithful care of his big feline brother, his big feline sister and his little feline sister before him and his little feline sister, who joined our family at the end of last year, and me. There are no words that accurately convey how much I miss him.

Jackie, I am very sorry for your loss of Pepper. He sounds like a right love. Whoever shot him was cruel and evil. I don't agree with people's stigma attached to black cats or any cats. I have heard many times: "What are you getting so worked up about? It's just a cat.". No, it is not just a cat. It deserves love, affection, food, and a good home just like any being. Bless you, Pepper, and your kitties.

I have had many black cats but my favorite rescue was an old timer we named "Mr. No Ears". He was old, broken, with ears scratched raw from mite infection. Managed to trap him one night and let him stay in the trap until the next day. He seemed to become a new cat, having spent a night under shelter. Unfortunately one of his pads was cancerous and he did not last long but he had a really good life....for six months. Eating in the house with everyone else and even sleeping on the bed.

I did not expect to cry so hard at this. The kid in the Good Boy comic looks almost exactly like my best friend did. They were non binary and killed in a trans hate attack three years ago. I honestly hope that they had an animal that said me is the death to them when they passed. This is a wonderful depiction of sadness and abuse towards animals, but it could apply to people too. Thank you for making this, but I cried way too hard.

These cartoons made me cry. I’ve had pets my whole life, and well understand that animals are sentient beings. They feel pain, sadness, and joy just like we do. And, just like children, they think any upset or neglect they suffer is their fault—-when it just isn’t. I also don’t get people who not only hold on to stupid, outdated, and disproven superstitions, but also act on them so cruelly. My black cat Jack is 5 years old and 14 lbs—-but was the runt of his litter (who were abandoned at the dead end of our street and wandered into our yard—-we got the others adopted by good people) and the only black kitten. He’s also very laid back, and the funniest and most loving little guy. Plus, he’s that rare cat who will let you pet him anywhere, including his belly. I just wish the comment section down here would let me upload a picture of him.

We had a kitten come to our back door and she wouldn't leave, she tried to come in every time we opened the door. She was so skinny and sad that after a day we fed her but we already have 5 cats and had no intention of adopting a 6th. About a week after we started feeding her, it rained really hard one night and my husband and I both felt so bad that she was outside in the rain. She moved in the next day. She has had all her shots, been spayed and is now part of our crazy family. My husband named her Gypsy because of her early drifting lifestyle.

Even more important lesson -- KEEP CATS INSIDE. They should only be outside in an enclosed 'cat run/catio' or on a leash. If they're not roaming loose, they can't be hit by cars. And forget about TNR -- it doesn't help prevent this kind of thing either.

I always tell the animals that I see dead in the road how sorry I am that they had to go out like that, all alone, and tell them that I love them. Whether it be a cat, dog, squirrel, bunny, a bird, I always want them to know that SOMEONE on this planet gave a sh!t about them. It usually goes something like 'Aww gd damm!it!! I'm so sorry buddy; I love you.' And then it's almost always followed by a rant about how much I despise human beings.

My black rabbit passed through two different rescue organizations (first was beyond capacity and was going to have to put down the animals that had been there the longest, thankfully the second was able to make space with a foster) before he found his way to me. He was so sweet and low-maintenance, but never got picked because he wasn't as "cute" as the other coloured bunnies. We seriously need stricter legislation for the breeding and sale of pets. People profit off of breeding surplus animals (not all breeders... blah blah) and don't care about the suffering and harm they cause.

I have a black cat named Sir Arthur Guinness, King of the Britains. He's such a sweetheart, loves people (and will lick you and your toes should you give him a chance), and is completely and utterly loveable. I don't understand why black cats are seen as bad luck, because Arthur is an angel. Plus, black cats are less likely to get fleas.

I have a black cat, and he is everything to me. I love him with all my heart. ❤️ he is a tuxedo cat (the runt) but that doesn’t bother me. If he ever died or got killed, I’d probably almost die too. A few years ago, our gray tuxedo cat, Spaz, ran away and died. We put up payers but no one called. We currently have 4 cats. Twin brown/black tabbies: Delilah and Angel. They’re inseparable. We have a Siamese Burmese: Samson, who we got from a greeter with like 20 kittens. And Midnight our black one. I LOVE HIM. ❤️ if anything happened to any of them, I'd cry forever. It’s so cruel how people abuse all animals. It’s not fair. It’s sad. 😭

My family has our own mini panther named Cooper. He's a lovable, chatty little scamp. Always being mischievous and wonderful. He's best friends with my fiance's and my tabby cat Cookie. So cute. Well both stories made me tear up. People can be so cruel. God bless all those poor cats and doggies who died. You're on the rainbow bridge. Playing and being very happy. We will see them again someday.

The best thing is to not let your cats out at all. They are the #1 killer of birds and small mammals. If they are in the house they cannot get killed by cars. Also some people put out poison to kill rats and if a cat finds that and eats it they will die too. Here is our house panther, Athena. Athena-5dd...55a4ad.jpg Athena-5dd4ac955a4ad.jpg

What's better than a black cat - two black cats. About 4 years ago I adopted a black pair - brother/sister. Today they are my best friends. Adopted them mid October - usually shelter does not adopt out black cats for several months around halloween, but shelter people knew me from the donations I would make.

This is Blacky, one of my 5 feral cats that live with me. I almost lost him last year when he was 4. He had bladder crystals. But, I was able to find a vet who could help him. They told me that he was actually REALLY well behaved. Normally he is very fritened of people and all he wants to do is run away and find someplace to hide. But, it seemed as if he knew these strangers wanted to help him. My cats don't go outside. They know where they are safe. DSC01535-5...97d5b8.jpg DSC01535-5dd2ff197d5b8.jpg

I lived in a neighbourhood with horrible people who killed not only my cats when I was young , around 10 (I had 4 and the mother had black fur), but stray cats as well (and that was as recent as 3 years ago) and I honestly can't stop crying. I'm almost 30 and still can't understand what makes humans hate cats, specially black ones so much. Of all the entire animal kingdom, we're the worst of creatures...

They never go out, they have a front row seat with a sliding glass door in my sun room made especially for them. We live in Alaska so you don't know what wild animals are meandering around outside, and the cat's just love the "safe" view. received_2...0-jpeg.jpg received_2622399554491767-5dd029e5436c0-jpeg.jpg

My friends are bullying me over something I didn’t do, I sat in the bathroom today crying while acting my lunch and watching Atypical on Netflix. I was doing ok, and then started crying when I saw this because sometimes I think about my death. Especially recently. I feel like right now I can relate to that black cat as people all around just don’t like me. The dog that was left behind sort of resembles me too, as they have tied me to one story and wont let me explain- spreading rumors saying mean tings, yesterday they were my best friends and today they hate me and have left me behind.

When we Adopted our black kitty, Cairo, from the shelter, they said that he had been there for two years because black cats were harder to adopt out. He was spayed, had all of his shots and, at four years old, still almost as playful as a kitten. Is this the same woman who did the animated feature about the deer dying? Too sad.

This breaks my heart. Someone had shot my sweet Pepper, a gorgeous black house panther with the most affectionate disposition and a purr that was even bigger than he was, before he found me gardening in my yard 16 summers ago. He died this past August after a two-year battle with congestive heart failure. It seems extra cruel that he died from having a big heart. He took such faithful care of his big feline brother, his big feline sister and his little feline sister before him and his little feline sister, who joined our family at the end of last year, and me. There are no words that accurately convey how much I miss him.

I have heard many times: "What are you getting so worked up about? It's just a cat.". No, it is not just a cat. It deserves love, affection, food, and a good home just like any being. Bless you, Pepper, and your kitties.

I have had many black cats but my favorite rescue was an old timer we named "Mr. No Ears". He was old, broken, with ears scratched raw from mite infection. Managed to trap him one night and let him stay in the trap until the next day. He seemed to become a new cat, having spent a night under shelter. Unfortunately one of his pads was cancerous and he did not last long but he had a really good life....for six months. Eating in the house with everyone else and even sleeping on the bed.

I did not expect to cry so hard at this. The kid in the Good Boy comic looks almost exactly like my best friend did. They were non binary and killed in a trans hate attack three years ago. I honestly hope that they had an animal that said me is the death to them when they passed. This is a wonderful depiction of sadness and abuse towards animals, but it could apply to people too. Thank you for making this, but I cried way too hard.

These cartoons made me cry. I’ve had pets my whole life, and well understand that animals are sentient beings. They feel pain, sadness, and joy just like we do. And, just like children, they think any upset or neglect they suffer is their fault—-when it just isn’t. I also don’t get people who not only hold on to stupid, outdated, and disproven superstitions, but also act on them so cruelly. My black cat Jack is 5 years old and 14 lbs—-but was the runt of his litter (who were abandoned at the dead end of our street and wandered into our yard—-we got the others adopted by good people) and the only black kitten. He’s also very laid back, and the funniest and most loving little guy. Plus, he’s that rare cat who will let you pet him anywhere, including his belly. I just wish the comment section down here would let me upload a picture of him.

My gals like belly rubs too, I worked with them on it when they were kittens, and they will roll over and present their tummies for a rub when they feel like it.

We had a kitten come to our back door and she wouldn't leave, she tried to come in every time we opened the door. She was so skinny and sad that after a day we fed her but we already have 5 cats and had no intention of adopting a 6th. About a week after we started feeding her, it rained really hard one night and my husband and I both felt so bad that she was outside in the rain. She moved in the next day. She has had all her shots, been spayed and is now part of our crazy family. My husband named her Gypsy because of her early drifting lifestyle.

Even more important lesson -- KEEP CATS INSIDE. They should only be outside in an enclosed 'cat run/catio' or on a leash. If they're not roaming loose, they can't be hit by cars. And forget about TNR -- it doesn't help prevent this kind of thing either.

I always tell the animals that I see dead in the road how sorry I am that they had to go out like that, all alone, and tell them that I love them. Whether it be a cat, dog, squirrel, bunny, a bird, I always want them to know that SOMEONE on this planet gave a sh!t about them. It usually goes something like 'Aww gd damm!it!! I'm so sorry buddy; I love you.' And then it's almost always followed by a rant about how much I despise human beings.

My black rabbit passed through two different rescue organizations (first was beyond capacity and was going to have to put down the animals that had been there the longest, thankfully the second was able to make space with a foster) before he found his way to me. He was so sweet and low-maintenance, but never got picked because he wasn't as "cute" as the other coloured bunnies. We seriously need stricter legislation for the breeding and sale of pets. People profit off of breeding surplus animals (not all breeders... blah blah) and don't care about the suffering and harm they cause.

I have a black cat named Sir Arthur Guinness, King of the Britains. He's such a sweetheart, loves people (and will lick you and your toes should you give him a chance), and is completely and utterly loveable. I don't understand why black cats are seen as bad luck, because Arthur is an angel. Plus, black cats are less likely to get fleas.

I have a black cat, and he is everything to me. I love him with all my heart. ❤️ he is a tuxedo cat (the runt) but that doesn’t bother me. If he ever died or got killed, I’d probably almost die too. A few years ago, our gray tuxedo cat, Spaz, ran away and died. We put up payers but no one called. We currently have 4 cats. Twin brown/black tabbies: Delilah and Angel. They’re inseparable. We have a Siamese Burmese: Samson, who we got from a greeter with like 20 kittens. And Midnight our black one. I LOVE HIM. ❤️ if anything happened to any of them, I'd cry forever. It’s so cruel how people abuse all animals. It’s not fair. It’s sad. 😭

The best thing is to not let your cats out at all. They are the #1 killer of birds and small mammals. If they are in the house they cannot get killed by cars. Also some people put out poison to kill rats and if a cat finds that and eats it they will die too. Here is our house panther, Athena. Athena-5dd...55a4ad.jpg Athena-5dd4ac955a4ad.jpg

Adopted them mid October - usually shelter does not adopt out black cats for several months around halloween, but shelter people knew me from the donations I would make.

This is Blacky, one of my 5 feral cats that live with me. I almost lost him last year when he was 4. He had bladder crystals. But, I was able to find a vet who could help him. They told me that he was actually REALLY well behaved. Normally he is very fritened of people and all he wants to do is run away and find someplace to hide. But, it seemed as if he knew these strangers wanted to help him. My cats don't go outside. They know where they are safe. DSC01535-5...97d5b8.jpg DSC01535-5dd2ff197d5b8.jpg

My friends are bullying me over something I didn’t do, I sat in the bathroom today crying while acting my lunch and watching Atypical on Netflix. I was doing ok, and then started crying when I saw this because sometimes I think about my death. Especially recently. I feel like right now I can relate to that black cat as people all around just don’t like me. The dog that was left behind sort of resembles me too, as they have tied me to one story and wont let me explain- spreading rumors saying mean tings, yesterday they were my best friends and today they hate me and have left me behind.

Not through choice, but I have always had either tabby or b/w cats. I would dearly love a black cat, but you cannot choose who will end up loving you or moving in. It is a little furry person, not wallpaper or furniture!

My black cat was killed by a car. My poor dear Onyx.... 😭 These comic strips made me get all teary-eyed on break at work. Sweet but too damn sad.

I like black cats especially for their fairy tale connections. Sadly I'm to allergic to actually adopt one.

(Sorry) the personification of the end of life has to a job, but never evil or callous.

Can the kitty cat at least befriend a poltergeist without the talent of pushing glasses off furniture? (pleez)

How on earth did the artist manage to convay a smile on a fleshless skull in the last panel?

My late baby..I love all cats and I don't care what color they are. Only dumb. superstitious 'humans' do while they actually should be more afraid of their own kind. BLACKIE-WI...63feb5.jpg BLACKIE-WITH-TEDDY-BEAR-5dce32963feb5.jpg

These are so real and so true...and I am crying like a baby. I am in cat rescue, and I have lost so many cats over the years to the cruelty of people, it is a never-ending, never absent pain.

When we Adopted our black kitty, Cairo, from the shelter, they said that he had been there for two years because black cats were harder to adopt out. He was spayed, had all of his shots and, at four years old, still almost as playful as a kitten. Is this the same woman who did the animated feature about the deer dying? Too sad.

All 3 of our fur babies are black. 2 from Humane Society + 1 adopted us cuz someone left her behind which is fine cuz they didn't/don't deserve her!

OMG... there used to be a sweet old lady in my street who used to feed a lovely black cat. One day she phoned me to tell she hadn't seen the cat for a few days. My husband and I looked for the cat in every place we could think of but still no trace. About 2 years later she died. I like to think they're together in the good place they deserve.

After I spent my lunch hour sobbing, I shared it with my significant other so he could sob too.

It's not just black cats but I was told it black dogs are harder to adopt out because of these ridiculous superstitions. My Zoe is primarily black and she means the world me.

How comforting to imagine Death as a kind and compassionate person.

I watched Star Wars Blips and laughed a lot and then read this and cried a lot. I should have done these in the revers order. Right in the feels.

This really got me. In November 2018, my black cat died of kidney failure just hours before my grandma passed away from leukaemia. 2018 wasn't a good year.

Looking at a family suicide- I finally cried for the pets we toss aside so easily. Pets or people if you don't want them someone somewhere does help give them a chance.
