I love this comic

I can't recall if I've mentioned how much I like the Web comic, VG Cats, on my site. Yeah, I have a link to them and all, but I don't think that I ever really put down the reason why I like the comics that Scott puts together. Take the following comic, for example:


PacMan sees dead people ... all the time.

This is pure comic genius. It's a fairly simple concept, but putting it into a comic isn't exactly the easiest thing to do. I should know ... I've been trying to come up with material for my own comic strip for over a year now. Just the fact that Scott can come up with this material week after week is just amazing to me.

Here are some of my other favorite VG Cats comics:

- Bea Jay
- Indigestion
- Ghost Comic
- Party Games
- High Ground
- Ba Weep Granna (A+ favorite)
- Fire Bad, FIRE BAD!
- NSFW
- Dinner with the Folks
- Two robots walk into a bar...
- Eww...

After looking at these and looking at the ideas that I've come up with for my own comic, I realize more than ever that I need someone a little more creative than myself to come up with the ideas for the strip. I can draw the comic all day long ... I just can't create a story line for it.

Hi, found your site through a Google search when I was looking for this particular comic. Any chance you have the original hi-res version of this? It seems to have been removed from their site, and any reference to it only links to the page where it's not located anymore on VGCats. I figure since you made the customized thumbnail, you might have the orignal still. If so, could you send it my way?

Man, you're right. I wonder who made him take it down? I thought that it was a great piece of work ... otherwise I wouldn't have put up a copy. :/

I checked my archive. Unfortunately, I can't find anything in my computer, my Web server or temp files on any other computers I looked at the site with.

Maybe you can contact Scott directly and get a copy of it?

He was actually the first I emailed about it. That had to be about or over a week ago, and I got absolutely no response from him. Thanks anyway. If you happen to find it, let me know!
