"When Tracy Butler and Fable Siegel approached studios with the concept of an adult animation series, they were met repeatedly with the same response. The idea of Lackadaisy, a series that follows booze drinking cats as they indulged in crime against the backdrop of 1920's Missouri was captivating. But according to producers, the project was too risky to finance. In Hollywood, studios believe that when it comes to adult animation, only the sitcom format sells.
Published online, Lackadaisy Cats has been a webcomic since 2006. Set in prohibition-era St. Louis, the narrative revolves around the fortunes of a prohibition-era speakeasy called The Lackadaisy. After the speakeasy's founder is murdered, his widow must clumsily continue her husband's legacy of conspiracy, murder, and crime to keep the bar afloat. And all of the characters? They're anthropomorphic cats. Lackadaisy immerses readers into a world of sepia-toned crime, adventure, and occasional laughs."
