Followed a link of Steo's blog to discover VGCats, a really good comic strip.

The strip that started it all xD
Ironically enough, although I enjoy the strip's odd takes on various video games (Link, Fox, Halo, Kirby series, all of which I don't even play), a main endearing feature of the comic to me are... well, the VG Cats. Who don't appear in this particular strip.
The Cats are two cute... uhm anthropomorphic cats, who walk and talk like normal people (that's what "Anthropomorphic" means, anyway.)
Although it's easy to forget they're cats, they remind us with cute cat ears and tails. Leo even has a bell around his neck. I find that the ears and tails are just adorable, and contribute greatly in showing how each character feels.
Leo, the gray cat, and Aeris, the pink one, die many times throughout the strip, decapitate / stab / otherwise kill other characters, whether as themselves or as video game chatacters, engage in fights, participate in real life scenarios (downloading games off the Net, jumping queue, rummaging in garbage) and so on.
And, engage in numerous sexual innuendos, hints, and outright sexual references. Not between themselves, they seem to prefer keeping each other as good friends. (Because you may never know when Leo will drive Aeris up the wall.)
In my opinion, the creator has done an excellent job on the art and such. Even if the strip doesn't make total sense to me, the artwork is simply admirable. The cats look so cute and the background fitting. And, the comic is good as well.
Two paws up.

I find Leo's description particularly fitting for me.
"Leo, enthusiastic but credulous, is typically the more foolhardy of the two cats. While he usually projects a general air of idiocy, he has shown signs of a deeper intelligence, or at least marginal quantities of common sense."

That part where a cartoonized Professor Oak yells "B**** BE TRIPPING BALLS!" is just win. xD
