Why is it when playing table tennis you always get a build up of energy really ‘thewack’ it blimin’ ard’!!! Feels good for the moment – never goes as far as cats – we just thumble around for it on the floor.
I love these comics that are ambiguous and leave me to figure out what they mean.
And then someone comes along and says that the tennis ball is from The Metamorphosis and that Boy is quoting Proust and that the whole thing is a joke about post-deconstructionist digital flyswatters. And I feel stupid for not having realised that.
Cat hit the ball so hard that it violated several rules of time and space and teleport-cloned itself in several time zones.
Which is why he normally plays left-handed. Totally forgot, the goof!

Poor boy; that one won’t come true.

Wow, given the trajectory of that ball, Grrl, Vampire and Boy must be on increasingly steep gradients.

Cat just switched hands?

@RD, The incursion of night suggests that the ball is slowly orbiting the planet.

I’d forgotten how Girl’s eyebrows form a second smile when she gets engaged like that!

@DT.
I’m not sure that I believe in Low Earth Orbits for table tennis balls. This comic lacks realism.
And it’s not Proust, it’s Henry Miller satirizing Proust.

What’s all this talk of table tennis? I thought they were playing Ping Pong. Or maybe they are actually playing wiff waff.

Perhaps Cat and Girl are playing table tennis with a small star.

The ping pong/table tennis debate continues. On C-SPAN.

Cat needs to lay off the steroids ;)
February 25, 2010
Is it reasonable that this comic made wishing on a star make way more sense to me?

Cat is now part of a creation myth.
Actually, I’d consider going to a church that said Cat and Girl were the creators.

BB: It turns out that Cat Is Not Left-Handed.

And the moral of the story is… never let a cat to eat ping pong balls, he will choke and vomit all over the floor!
