    Potentially stupid question, but is the first time we have seen colour in a Cat and Girl cartoon?

    Also, I don’t think a page has lacked a title before. Also, I think it’s the first to have only one panel. I’ll point out more records as they come to me.

    But that comic is referencing an external colour image… here Dorothy manually set her paint brush to #FCE9DB.

    Don’t worry, Cat, the pictures in your kaleidoscope will always be bright and happy, no matter where your “boat” floats. Just keep staring.

    There has been a few single panel pages before, and they all have titles. check your alt text.

    also “Psych” is my kaleidescope. im in debt, my car is falling apart, im hungry and i need a haircut, (got my rent in though! so suck it!) and yet i choose to spend the money on something that helps me solve none of those problems but makes me feel good.

    On a different note, I love the contrast between the solid jet black shapes of the sky and the line-work of the sea. xlns

    Definitely agree.

    I totally want a wallpaper size of this. LOVE IT, both the image, and the statement.

    I wonder if it’s the kind of kaleidoscope that actually has colorful little things inside it, or the kind that just has the mirrors and a glass sphere on the end, so you get a multiplied, distorted picture of whatever is outside. Lightning through one of those must look interesting…

    Ma’am, you are a scholar and a gentlewomyn and we thank you for the desktop, even though @sam can’t read.

    Thankyou for the wallpaper!

    Also when I was small my mother had a workshop next to a man who made kaleidoscopes for a living, and he gave me a test one he made, but the end fell off, so you could look through it and see the world in thousands of triangles- it worked best if you looked at something very close like a book, or photo…

    now im totally curious about how a kaleidoscope is made, and how it got to be called a kaleidoscope…who makes kaleidoscopes nowadays? i actually havent even seen one in years…

    Thanks for the wallpaper followthrough! It fits much better than did just setting the comic to the desktop :)

    I’ve assumed Cat is a male. “A cat is just a cat”? (stripped of girlish egoism)?

    Isn’t the title “an even keel”?

    Oh, can’t you see what you’ve done for me, oh, yeah!
    I am happy inside all – all of the time. Wo-oo-o-oo!

    I’m glad I’m probably not the only one who goes back & re-reads Moomin books from time to time.
