Vg CatsVG Cats is a web comic written and drawn by Scott Ramsoomair. Published once a week on its own web site, it features the adventures of a pair of anthropomorphic cats, who often play the roles of characters in popular video games. Strips are usually presented in a large format and in full color. The first strip was published on September 9, 2001. Characters Recurring characters in VG Cats include: - Leo, a male cat with grey fur, enthusiastic but credulous. Named after the Ninja Turtle Leonardo.
- Aeris, a female cat with pink fur, named after the character Aeris Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII. Though easily the most sensible character, she has a quick temper and little patience for the foolishness that surrounds her.
- Pantsman, the author as an incompetent superhero who conceals his identity by wearing pants on his head.
- Krug, a horned red demon of limited intelligence and a childlike demeanor.
- Dr. Hobo, an alley-dwelling lunatic given to telling absurd, rambling stories.
- Ternaldo, a collectible card game fan oblivious to the finer points of social interaction.
- Johnny Evilguy, a greedy and unscrupulous antagonist named after an example character in the Neverwinter Nights scenario creation guide.
Themes VG Cats has no particular ongoing plot, although multipart strips occasionally appear. Most strips feature the characters acting out strange or humorous situations in various video games. Metal Gear Solid, Ragnarok Online, and the Final Fantasy and The Legend of Zelda series are favorite targets. Other strips satirize video game developers or other real-world companies. One recurring theme involves anthropomorphizing video game consoles in order to poke fun at their shortcomings. Microsoft's Xbox has been a target on numerious occasions for this. Occasionally, strips focus on subjects unrelated to gaming, such as cell phones or the comic's Canadian origin. External links
