Comments on: Versus http://www.optipess.com/2009/04/03/versus/ A Webcomic. On the Internet.

Because it could not defeat the pegasus, it was transformed, never again to be a fearsome beast, it was forced into a new life of dependence on others for its safety and sustenance. Which is a rather harsh and, to my mind, poignant punishment. But apparently that's where my mind was tonight. I wonder if it was influenced with having read the very wonderful but also sad graphic novel, WE3 today? Whatever the reason, I enjoyed this immensely. I just found your comic an hour ago and this is my favorite so far. On to the rest!

I was pleasantly surprised by the punchline. :-) I stumbled this, and assumed it was a re-imagining of the old poem “The Lion and the Unicorn”. I was pleasantly surprised by the punchline. :-)

Cats find it hard to climb down trees, because of the shape of their claws. Great for climbing, not so good for coming down :-) Great piece and reminds me of my own cats.

This was my first attempt with Corel Painter, (which means it is entirely digital, if that wasn't glaringly obvious already) and I found it to be a ton of fun to play around with. Oh, and I guess my money's on the Pegasus, but then again I'm not much of a cat person. Thanks guys!

But yeah, Tiger would win in my humble opinion. :D Cats have some sort of syndrome that causes them wanting to climb high places and not come down.

It makes me think of cats a little differently, kinda like what speearr said above. I especially like the artistic skill in this comic. It's different to your other comics, and it's very detailed.

And probably a very accurate insight into a cat's brain. They think they're such awesome predators... until they're stuck in a tree. I actually found your site from Scott's some time ago and you're both really great artists. Very nice… And probably a very accurate insight into a cat’s brain.
