The day I first saw his human version portrait, my eyes came out on stalks with astonishment.

I discovered the strip because of his human version: I saw the fellow with the gloves and glasses in the down-right corner here on someone else's journal and wanted to know who he was (among other things, he bears a real-life resemblance to someone I know). Fortunately, it was relatively easy to locate him in cat form; the pince-nez was the giveaway. And then I considered for a bit and then I started reading.

Even though it updates with the speed of continental drift.

I was afraid of that. I might still buy the first print volume anyway.
