Got this in email a few days ago. I was approached via email by the editor of an online Russian gaming magazine to have Tamino featured in an upcoming issue. They apparently highlight various web comics each time. I have no idea how they found me but it was really cool to be written up this way. I can't read it but someone online translated it for me as best they could. Apparently it says;

"1/3 Japanese prints, 1/3 fifties cartoons, 1/3 Cubism" writes the author about his comic strip, and I'm sorry, but there's not a better way to say it -- at least when it comes to the art style. And the content brings to mind the works of David Lynch. Tamino, a big cat with a triangular head, always wakes up in strangers' beds, each time a new one, and wanders in the twilight in search of Voronenko-graffiti (lol, I'm not sure, sorry), and everywhere drawings of Tamino. The name The City Dreams of Tamino the Cat has many meanings: a dream of what is happening to the cat? The artist's dream of himself? And perhaps even, that the city is dreaming of the cat? Mike Luce creates in his drawings an uncomfortable, but at the same time, an attractive world with not one answer, but it seems that the answer is close and you need only to enter the next street.

Alas, the comic is currently on hiatus, but the author promises that the story of Tamino will soon continue. However, there are still many more and interesting secrets, that have not yet been said. "
