Matthew Inman certainly has his own view of the world, and he shares it through the comics he draws and the quizzes he produces for his website, TheOatmeal.com. And people seem to appreciate that view. Last year, Inman drew a crowd of almost 300 people to the Tattered Cover for the signing of his first book, 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth. Which is why Tattered Cover event manager Charles Stillwagon expects a crowd as big or bigger tonight when Inman returns to LoDo tonight to discuss and sign his latest, How to Tell if Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You, a collection of cat-themed caricatures.

“When we heard he had a new book coming out and was touring, we were certainly happy to host him again,” Stillwagon says. “He has a certain brand of humor that isn’t widely available, and he’s very charming and witty.”

The presentation, at the Tattered Cover Lodo, 1628 16th Street, starts at 7:30 p.m.; free tickets will be given out starting at 6:30 p.m. Seating is limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, visit www.tatteredcover.com.
