Internet's Serious Business #1: Cat and Girl

Anyone who still doesn't acknowledge comics and, in this case, webcomics are a form of art can go away.

Perhaps my very favourite webcomic is Cat and Girl, described by Dorothy Gambrell, its creator, as "a cat, a girl, and an experimental meta-narrative (sp)". I know that everyone probably knows about it, but I don't care. This is about what I like. From Cat's round frames, turtleneck sweater and cool attitude to the constant mentions of contemporary art (a character is called Zombie Joseph Beuys), everything about this comic pleases me aesthetically.

Genuine fun. With 2168 strips as of October 1st, 2009, and counting, it's a joy to browse through the archive when I'm feeling lazy to do anything else.

Are you a fan of PBF, Danny? I tend to favour comics with less words, after all, for I have the attention span of a squirrel.
