Rose are Red, Violets are Blue. My Cat’s in Heat and I’m Think of You (1990)
Two independent but related narratives are overlaid. The more immediately apparent is the drawn image of a cat rolling in the throes of heat. Closer viewing reveals the background image also changes, as a camera examines at close range a fishnet-stockinged leg from upper thigh to toes. Turning the book over reveals a second sequence, which is the reverse of the first and also presents an intertwining of sexuality and voyeurism. Unlimited edition.
