Dharma the Cat Comic Strip: “Love Is” - A Heartwarming Buddhist-Inspired Cartoon #1611879 (License: Personal Use)

This 1997 three-panel comic by David & Ted features a bald monk in orange robes conversing with his black cat, Dharma, about the nature of love. The monk explains love as mindful presence-attending fully to each sound, movement, thought, and feeling-only for Dharma to humorously demonstrate it by knocking him onto his tail. The artwork uses clean linework, expressive characters, and warm pastel tones typical of the series’ gentle, philosophical tone.

Used on mindfulness blogs, Buddhist resource sites, or comic archives to illustrate themes of presence, compassion, and spiritual humor; matches user intent seeking lighthearted wisdom or educational content on loving-kindness.
