Bjoern sez, “‘Amazing but True Cat Stories’ is a collection of stories about feline antics, illustrated in vivid 8-bit color by true mspaint artists. Stolen pants, pooped-on veterinarians, fur on fire, foretold seizures, and much more! This book was entirely written by the anonymous crowd. All stories and illustrations were submitted by workers on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. I selected, edited and laid out the stories in a short but sweet coffee table book. The idea for this book was born in Terminal A at Washington Dulles, where I was stranded for some hours in late July. To spend my time, I posted the following two tasks on MTurk: 1) Write at least one paragraph about a funny, unbelievable or otherwise memorable incident involving your cat. 2) Sketch a cat. With or without an environment and toys. Before I got out of that terminal, it was already clear that the submissions were too good to keep to myself.”
