This page could easily have been mean spirited in the hands of another cartoonist, especially panel five – but Cat and Girl always seems like an internal conversation to me, so it just looks self-depricating.
I have no problem with solipsism. It just means that personal judgments are made internally, rather than at other people.
Of course there are things which draw many of us into their orbit, but I would think much of life’s twists are purely random, like some kind of brownian motion.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Hold on, I don’t want this pomade. I want Dapper Dan.
Pomade Vendor: I don’t carry Dapper Dan, I carry Fop.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, I don’t want Fop, goddamn it! I’m a Dapper Dan man!
Pomade Vendor: Watch your language, young feller, this is a public market. Now if you want Dapper Dan, I can order it for you, have it in a couple of weeks.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, ain’t this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!
Excellent. Panel five just replaced the “sometimes I mistake this for a universe that cares” bit of xkcd.com/625/ taped to my monitor. Love the ‘vignetting’, too.
@Thing: nice idea, works pretty well!

Whatever that hypothetical something is, I’m betting it looks like an ancient tomcat.

Modern self-centeredness is the new geocentricism?

I’m enjoying reading it spiral wise–panels 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 8, 7, 4 and then 5.

Oh man, Girl is so being me today…or maybe I am being like Girl. I haven’t been to the EXACT Center of the Universe so I can’t tell!

There is no center of the universe, so as a point of reference of course anybody can define him- or herself as fixed.
