I’d love to start transcribing these, they’re so insightful (inciteful?) – but I’m not sure who the characters are beyond Cat, Girl, Grrl (?) and Bad Decision Dinosaur! Is there an illustrated cast list somewhere?
PS I LOVE CAT AND GIRL, it’s like my very soul in comic form. A million nubile virgins (or whatever) to you, Dorothy.
@deemacgee: Cat and Girl is already transcribed pretty quickly for most comics on Oh No Robot ( http://www.ohnorobot.com/index.pl?s=&comic=320&show=advanced&b=1&t=1 ). If you’d like to cover some of the untranscribed ones, you can crib notes from previous transcriptions to get character names and style notes.
It is not sad to fall in the sleep group. It is really not.
Transcriptors can use any names they like for the characters – I’ve seen some strange ones. It is still a great help, and I generally standardize the names before the transcription goes up.
Saw this, thought ‘hmm, that’s a good strip’ and was right about to click to the next one when I noticed the sign in the backgroud. Thanks for making me pay more attention!

In terms of economics, Vampire still doesn’t seem to realize that he’s… a vampire.

I think I need the last panel blown up to poster size and posted in the back room at work to remind me why I put up with some of our customers…

I appreciate the Jenny Holzer visual. Its been a while since we’ve had an art reference.

Money also allows me to buy Cat and Girl brand merchandise, which helps me sleep at night.

Very good.

Dorothy, you are on fire. Fy-ah! I really dig the strip lately.
And yes, I thought the Mickey D’s sign added.

Placebo reference? Have you heard the French language version? Question two is moot if the answer to 1 is “no”.
