The bit in quotes was supposed to read “Cat and Girl [verb],” except with angle brackets instead of straight ones, but I guess the Internet thought I was trying to invade with straight HTML like some pedestrian prole. Whatever.
Usually I can understand C&G cartoons after a couple of Google searches [“checkov” & “gun” –> “Showing results for chekhov & gun”] and pretend that I actually got the joke when I read it, but that method has failed me today.
Maybe it’s because I’m too invested in pro-wrestling and am over thinking its significance in this strip.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why have I never seen Cat’s favorite tag team on the telly? Any group of professional wrestlers that takes out Proust in the middle of a match (and probably in the middle of a bunch of broken glass) is totally worth watching! I mean, that is certainly everybrow entertainment!
After he died, Proust’s organs were stolen by Harvard graduate students for use in a study about whether poetic genius is genetic or transmitted by a particular genus of miniature fiddler crabs that live in your brain.

Girl’s Antennae are getting out of control!

How often does Girl get shocked out of a rant once she’s got a head of steam going? Not very, I think.
(Was that a mixed metaphor?)

I really do love it when a title takes the form “Cat and Girl “.

Best Cat side-rant ever.

@DUNG – she is looking a little like Astroboy. it’s her unsplit ends.

Dear god, it’s like a subtle subversion of Girls usual rants.
YOUR GENIUS IS BOTTOMLESS.

I don’t get what this is getting at.
That even if you may think that “high brow” is better, in practice it’s worse?
Ugh. C&G make me think too much.

Or maybe I’m really as dumb as grandma said.
