Mari Solinski and The Wonder Kitty

Mari Solinski and The Wonder Kitty is a weekly serial comic that appears in The Weekly Brahma (publication) from 2016 and 2017 and later in THE LION GAZETTE starting in 2021 and follows the adventures of two 20-something would-be journalists that acquire "super powers" and their subsequent life dealing with their job, world affairs, super-villians, international plots and military matters.

The comic itself is a "spin off" of the popular "Ask Dr. Lola" cartoons that appeared initially in The Weekly Brahma in 2014. Unlike these cartoons, which usually are three panel "jokes" or "commentary" on political, social and economic issues, Mari Solinski and The Wonder Kitty is an episodic story that explores story elements such as plot, setting and a deeper exploration of the characters resulting in multidimensional characters.

Its two main characters, Mari Solinski and Zandra Niko, were originally based on two student journalists. Their adventures, while fictitious are designed to entertain and educate. As to the prior, plots are usually variations or combinations of plots from popular culture as well as classic literature.

There are slight differences between The WEEKLY BRAHMA version and the later THE LION GAZETTE version. The main difference is that the later version is set in 2009 and boasts better artwork and extended dialog. The setting, too, is changed from THE WEEKLY BRAHMA to THE LION GAZETTE. Character designs are also a bit more expressive with most characters getting redraws. The Wardrobe of the protagonists also is subject to change. While some characters carry over from the previous version the 2021 version tends to retain the original side characters with name upgrades. These include Bret Coogan, Peggy O'Shea, Alexandra Sevilla, Albert Larkin and Robert Seagull.
