Philosophy Cat..."Dharma the Cat"


Wikipedia...

Dharma the Cat is a philosophical humorous webcomic by David Lourie. The topics of Dharma the Cat handle the basic philosophical questions of life and existence.

Characters in the comic are:

Dharma - A Buddhist, black and white cat, whose thoughts can be interpreted by the reader.
Bodhi - A Buddhist novice monk, who tries to walk the path to enlightenment.
Siam - A mouse, hell-bent on cheese, who can communicate with Dharma.

The main idea of Dharma the Cat is not in the comic itself, but in the commentary of the comic strips.

The included religions are: Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Humanism/Atheism, Hindu, Interfaith, Islam, Judaism, Paganism/Wicca and Taoism.
