This whimsical historical fantasy webcomic from the "Trippy without a Map" series by Cayla Catz follows a dapper steampunk Cheshire cat, female explorer, and Marco Polo as they share stories of legendary travel from Venice through Persia to Cathay. The richly detailed, oil-painting style panels use warm jewel tones, ornate medieval decor, tea party settings, and antique map artwork to illustrate Marco Polo's 13th century expeditions. A closing text panel features the iconic Marco Polo quote about travel being a book, tying together the wanderlust-themed narrative.
