Roughly the shape of a papasan chair

Posted Mon, 2/22/2010 by Dave

Admit it–you have always wanted to sit on Pestilence. Okay, probably not. But you have to wonder–is he roughly the same consistency as a beanbag chair? Or would he be more like some kind of gel pack, or a stress ball? Corn starch? Stretch Armstrong? Thanks to the cat, we have some data. Perhaps we shall collect more in the future.

Also, that darn cat needs a name! We might just end up calling it Sphinx or something, but if you’ve got a good suggestion leave it in the comments. I think the kitty’s here to stay, so it would be nice to give it a worthy moniker.

Or a Grecian Urn

…Dave, I think the desire to sit on Pestilence may be yours and yours alone.

As an artistic note, Pestilence presents a strange duality. He’s by far the easiest to draw by hand, but one of the more difficult characters to render digitally. Long, smooth arcs are cake to do with a pencil, but translating that same line into a stroke on the Wacom? Nigh impossible!

    KT

    Sounds like KT, and there’s a nice little WoW reference embedded as well.

    i think my heart just melted… so cuuuute T____T

    I suggest Riddle. Then you introduce a character named Mystery. Then Mystery hugs Riddle and Death’s girlfriend somehow swallows them both and the entire entity becomes a metaphor for Russia. :p

    it should be called Mittens.

    Mittens the Kitten.

    I propose the name Jello Biafra.

    Let Pestilence name the kitty, once the kitty is thoroughly ingested. Though sphinx is also fine. ^_^

    Apparently you post comments in backwards order.

  9. nicole says:

    ^^^agreed. In the next strip, the cat should be suspended inside Pestilence.

  10. Ryvion says:

    D’awwwww. Though I kind of expected the cat to be assimilated into the blob…
