Cat and Girl Dorothy Gambrell's weekly comic strip peeks into the ironic, cerebral life of its eponymous characters. Cat is not exactly Girl's pet -- they're more like roommates, stumbling through life's inconsistencies together. The stories aren't necessarily autobiographical either. The jokes sometimes veer towards the literary, but more often they're based on small, quirky observations. The strip even offers its own creation myth. It's no Garfield, that's for sure.
