Reading this one, it suddenly occurred to me how rare it is for your first 3 panels to function on their own in a 2-beats-and-a-rimshot Daily 3 Panel Newspaper Comic Strip way.

I love the way you pace yours, but now I’m suddenly wondering whether you just don’t get many 3 panel “quick gag” ideas, or whether you simply prefer to expand upon them? Or…some third thing.

Woo King’s Quest! I was just thinking recently how unlikely it is for a computer game reference to appear in Cat and Girl. It’s like if Penny Arcade quoted Sylvia Plath.

I never liked Sierra games. “Oh no, you forgot to check the air pressure in your tires before going for a drive and have lost the game, even though if you had checked the air pressure of your tyres they would have been fine. I hope you saved recently”. Actual way to lose at Police Quest.

Wow, dropping an old-school Sierra reference. Sweet.

i’m teaching macbeth this semester and i’m embarassed to say that i can’t decode the title of this strip. there was a propecy? about knowledge? help me, people.

I think it’s not so much that there was a prophecy about knowledge, as it is “our downfall is inevitable, and we have brought it about” sort of thing.

I just read each line and diagonal as 3 panel gags.

I meant row, and I just finished each column.

idkrash, you’re right! Quite a few of the 3-panel combinations work as coherent comics on their own when read down, across or diagonal. It’s Cat & Girl Sudoku. Wild stuff! Darn you idkrash, and darn you Dorothy. Now I have to go back and re-read hundreds of comics looking for tic-tac-toe irony.

There’s people online writing fake ending summaries for games?

Rocketbride, I think the title is a suggestive reference to the soliloquy:

“She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.” — Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 17-28)

Essentially, the credo of the entire run of Cat & Girl.

I thought King’s Quest IV ended not with a bang but a whimper. Unless of course you forgot the magic fruit.

KQ4 was the one I never got all that into. Can’t really say why. It made me too anxious–what with the time you do things being so important and me constantly believing that I missed an opportunity for something because a certain hour had passed.

KG7 was way more my speed. And 5 and 6. And 3.

Has anyone ever noticed that Cat is on the dollar bill?

Hat tip to this guy, who thinks it’s keyboard cat but is wrong:

stick that in your i-phone and tweet it!

When Birnam Wood won’t come to you, you can always go to Birnam Wood.

Hey, we’re studying Macbeth in my drama class! We had to watch a movie that was a modern interpretation of the play. The guys who represented Macbeth and Banquo went hunting in Birnam Wood. It was an ok movie I guess?

I was stuck for a title and figured it was easy to get lost in a forest that moved. Everyone else’s answers are better.

Oi! Don’t knock alchemy!

She could be using Apple “Dali” Maps. Then things could get really interesting.
