Jeffrey Rowland's OVERCOMPENSATING

Man what is up with cat fur anyway? I didn't even think it was possible for a cat to grow as much hair as there is in the hallway. There's gotta be at least a six or seven pounds of hair in there.

The first wave of original artwork/fundraiser packs have been shipped. We're doing about 50 a day here so your package will be there shortly! A large shipment of garments is also scheduled to arrive today - if you are waiting on a TopatoCo item keep an eye on your e-mail!

I was going to do a comic about that whole mess with the Digital Comics documentary thing that everybody has been bitching about but honestly I don't really care about it that much.

If you save that hair you can use it to weave another cat. Over the years you can make five or six cats from the hair they shed. But pretty soon they come around asking if you've taken your medication, and then

I think cats have hair shipped in from humane societies so they can throw it all over your house at night and confuse you. I have four cats. We clean the hair with a snow shovel.

I save my cat's hair that I brush from her, having it made into yarn, and am slowly weaving one of those hats with cat ears.

That memory patch stuff makes me wanna gag and yak.

Hair isn't gross. Neither is fur.


Well, not until they leave the body. The only acceptable fur to be worn is wool... because it's soft and lambs wool has a sweet smell to it.

All other hair/fuzz/fur/fluff is insanely disgusting. And even thinking about it makes me feel like I've accidentally got cat fur on my tongue. I'm gonna go Scope my esophogous.

Memory patch? I still find hunks of hair from a cat I had five years ago, and I MOVED after it died. And let me tell you, the confusion between 'shed hair' and 'shit hair' is only a matter of semantics. You see, if they don't manage to hack up the hairball, it . . . aw, never mind. But it ain't pretty.

At the risk of being an anonymous whateverturd: Jeffrey, I loved this strip! Very funny!

Very nice. I think everyone is sick of hearing about who is and is not in that documentary anyway.

Dog and cat hair is no different from sheep wool. I mean, the way it feels, of course but it is not any cleaner.
I'm sorry people were being silly the other day Jeffrey. Also, your sister is the same age as me! That is kinda creepy.

What documentary? Anyone have a link?

Wait -- are you saying that someone made a documentary about web comics and DIDN'T include Jeffrey Rowland?

I guess all I have to say to that is WTF*OMG.

I posted a comment about finding some of my dead cat's hair stuck to one of my shirts that I hadn't worn in a while before realizing that someone had posted something similar. They should invent a cat with dissolving hair or something.

is it just me or is baby not wearing any pants?

I think Baby is wearing tight, form-fitting beige capri pants. Or something along those lines.

I do decree that the Smashing Pumpkins rock my socks and others alike.

Where did cats originate from? Was it from a miget lion or something? One of the words greatest mysteries.

Man, I am so non-observant. I've been reading Overcompensating since forever and I just now noticed the comments link.

All cats should be like those naked egyptian monstrosities. Then the hair issue would be eliminated.

Aw, so Baby's given up the cosplaying?

I was wondering if the cosplaying would become a regular thing.

Baby was cosplaying in a different worldline.

Nice to see you are still reading despite your initial disappointment, "Fizzled." Please continue to post your bizarre mantra each day or else I may begin to worry about you!

*misses Baby Cosplaying*

We used to know these people who used to make pony hair into jumpers. They were kinda weird and used to stare at you while you ate like they'd put....something....in ...the...........food.
