Dynamite and Boom! joined together to crossover the world's most famous felines, and I designed the 6" x 9" hardcover collection. For the front cover, I ran images of Grumpy and Garfield down the creased hinge area, similar to if there were a spine wrap. For the credits, I thought it would be fun to include a play of sorts between our two protagonists' irritating siblings. On the chapter headers, I liked the idea of having events happen on the page while Garfield seemed to not notice/care, and Grumpy seemed too focused on being irritated that Garfield had the nerve to be there with her.
