Black and White Cats Playing Cards (illustrated by Anna Hybsier)

In The Kindly Ones, as The Kindly Ones walk the halls of Morpheus’ castle searching for the throne room they pass many of the realms residents. All stop what they are doing to watch their passage, carefully avoiding a confrontation, considering that only moments before they killed the Gryphon.

These two cats were sitting in the hallway playing cards while the Kindly Ones walked the halls.

They can be seen in Sandman # 64, on page 17, panel 1.

These two portraits by Anna are awesome. I love how she approached the cats and when she drew them designed the portraits in such a way that they could be facing each other.

Here are the Black and White Cats playing cards…
