Lackadaisy (also known as Lackadaisy Cats) is a webcomic created by American artist Tracy J. Butler. Set in a Prohibition-era St. Louis with a population of anthropomorphic cats, the plot chronicles the fortunes of the Lackadaisy speakeasy after its founder is murdered. The comic mixes elements of comedy, crime and mystery. It won multiple Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards in 2007 and 2008, and in April 2011 was nominated for the Eisner Award for "Best Digital Comic".
The style of the comic is highly detailed, with elegantly attired cartoon characters that resemble styles from animated films of Walt Disney and Don Bluth. The earlier strips are sepia-toned, resembling aged photographs of the 1920s era, while more recent pages can be seen fully colored, often in shades of deep blue. Launched by Butler in July 2006, the comic updates on an irregular basis, with the most recent update published in 2020.
When prohibition grips the United States in 1920, Atlas May sets his eatery, the Little Daisy Café, as the front for a successful speakeasy called the Lackadaisy. Situated at the mouth of a network of limestone caves, the speakeasy can only be accessed from the Café by those showing a pin in the shape of a Clubs card suit. With easy access to illegal alcohol and a steady clientele, business burgeons, and the Lackadaisy becomes a premier establishment.
In 1926, however, Atlas is mysteriously killed, and management of the Little Daisy and the Lackadaisy falls to his widow Mitzi. Patronage at the Lackadaisy gradually falls off, bringing it to the brink of collapse, with only a handful of its original crew remaining and doing their best to keep the business alive. There is a band that plays at the club, and one of the members is a rumrunner, which brings the characters into conflict with others who distill their own whiskey and moonshine.
Lackadaisy features a wide cast of characters, most of which being workers for either Lackadaisy or Marigold, two rivaling alcohol smuggling rings.
The protagonists are Roark "Rocky" Rickaby, a sporadic and cunning violinist who works for Lackadaisy as a bootlegger, Calvin "Freckle" McMurray, a nervous and awkward, yet secretly violent young man and Rocky’s cousin, Mitzi May, Atlas’ widow who is currently in charge of the Lackadaisy speakeasy, and Ivy Pepper, an energetic, cheerful worker at the Little Daisy Cafè. The antagonists consist of Mordecai Heller (Previously known as Elijah Metzger), a cold and curt trigger-man for Marigold, as well as Serafine Savoy and Nicodème "Nico" Savoy, two siblings from New Orleans who work with Mordecai and speak in a mix of Cajun, Creole and French.
Viktor Vasko, Asa Sweet, Atlas May, Dorian "Zib" Zibowski, Sedgewick Sable and Nina McMurray are also notable characters.
Butler creates the comic by pencil sketching original images, then scanning and adjusting them with software such as Photoshop, where the panels are then assembled. Lighting is then added in grey tones, sharpening where needed, and dialogue and sound effects are added in a separate layer. The sepia tones are added in the final pass. Some of the feline characters are based on Butler's own pets, Ivy and Calvin.
