Not seeing how this meets WP:GNG. No reception/analysis, weak 'in popular culture' section that has only a few minor examples, poorly rererenced and significantly overlapping with reception related to its parent work (The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers) where this should probably be redirected per WP:ATD-R. My BEFORE shows nothing else that meets SIGCOV and RS requirements. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:28, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Per nom. No evidence of independent notability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:47, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Partial merge to The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Some of the bibliography is not present in the target article, and a couple of the sources could be used for verifiability (and to avoid appearance of OR) in the target. —siro χ o 19:06, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge to The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers#Characters - the sources and info would help that article. If not, the article should still be redirected to that so that it can be remade in the future if someone finds more in universe info and sources. However, I think that if someone finds more sources I think it would be worth keeping due to the character having its own storylines separate to the other characters.

Keep - gets a two-page article (plus some reprinted strips) in Malcolm Whyte's Great comic cats (2001) which I'd say is one suitable source. Commentary from Nicholas Lezard in a review in The Guardian here. Also gets a few mentions in in Dez Skinn's Comix : The underground revolution (2004), and dozens of other smaller mentions in book and magazine sources on archive.org, some which have a bit of commentary. Gets the most cursory of passing mentions in a Philip K. Dick story. There was a 2018 event at the British Library called "Cartoon Cats: Gilbert Shelton and Posy Simmonds" (which I attended) but I can't find much trace of that.
