Short answers, pulled from the story.
VG Cats is a webcomic written and drawn by Canadian cartoonist Scott Ramsoomair. The strip follows two anthropomorphic cats named Leo and Aeris who parody popular video games. The first strip was published on the 1st of September 2001.
The central characters are Aeris, a pink-furred female cat with blue eyes known for her short temper and violent behavior, and Leo Leonardo, The Third, a grey-furred male cat with green eyes depicted as impulsive and easily confused. A third recurring character, Pantsman, is Ramsoomair's alter ego and an incompetent superhero who wears trousers on his head.
Ramsoomair has said he started VG Cats out of boredom at work, drawing strips during his lunch breaks. The first strip went online on the 1st of September 2001.
In February 2022, Ramsoomair announced the end of VG Cats in a Patreon post that was later deleted. He began updating his Patreon again on the 20th of July 2023, and released a new comic strip in December 2023, effectively continuing the series.
VG Cats won two Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards in 2005 and one in 2006. The comic also received finalist nominations in 2007 and 2008.
Ramsoomair also created Adventure Log, an official Final Fantasy XI webcomic last updated in 2008, and Super Effective, a Pokemon parody that began in April 2008, went on hiatus in 2014, and resumed updates on the 8th of September 2024. His earlier sprite comic Bad Mushrooms is also hosted on VGCats.com.
