Samurai Cat #3
Samurai Cat in the Real World
Miaowara Tomokato, the greatest Samurai in all Japan, takes a quantum leap and lands smack in the middle of the real world. The most ingenious and wildly funny fantasy hero ever created takes on real-life adversaries as he continues his bloodthirsty quest for revenge.
- Chicago, circa 1929... the city is in the throes of the bloodiest gang war in American history. Bugs Morane and Al Capone gain interesting allies when the awesome Samurai Cat and his relentless nephew arrive on the scene. Will history be able to recount the calculated damage committed by these two? We think not.
- Berlin, Christmas 1944... the Germans have invented a devastating new weapon, the A-10 bomb. Each bomb contains a dehydrated dinosaur; upon impact London would be smothered in huge, man-eating Nazi dinosaurs. Samurai Cat is recruited by the Allies to join their secret strike force of over-developed dwarves, led by none other than St. Nick. Their mission: to infiltrate Nazi Germany's inner-most circles and stop the bombs!
- The Kremlin, March 1953... still hot on the trail of the murdering scum who did in Lord Nobunaga, the invincible Miaowara Tomokato flies to a secret location beneath the Kremlin. They arrive just in time for the wackiest get-together in unrecorded history. Everybody's there... Stalin, Hitler, Lysenki, Trotsky's ghost and a host of slavering creatures from Siberia. It's a regular hoe-down in "you-know-where," and one tough time for our hero's naughty nephew.

Miaowara Tomokato returns again, this time not actually parodying movies or other entertainment, but dealing with real-life situations. The first takes place in Al Capone's Chicago, then going to World War Two Germany, then going to postwar Stalinist USSR, where Uncle Joe proves to be no better than Uncle Adolf (Joe killed more Russians, as the book points out). And there are plenty of oil paintings in the book-with visual jokes in their own right.
Like the other books, plenty of violence so it's not for everybody.

An improvement over the previous volume. Although lampooning the Nazi's and Soviets is pretty low difficulty. He even got a jab in at Lysenko's "genetics", so he at least did some homework.
