Content
VGCats not tell a coherent story. Each comic strip is a parody of a video game is or on a current events from the scene. Often provide the specially invented characters and Leo Aeris characters from the games constitute or are otherwise integrated as in the Strips.
Thus, based on the most punchlines video games, enabling outsiders or people who have not dealt with the topic, will understand little.
Characters
Leonardo Leo - One of the two main actors of the series. Leo is a hangover and a bit silly. He falls easily in on things and does everything for video games. Often he does stupid and / or rash things that bring Aeris to despair. Leo embodied in many strips a male video game character. The name of Leo derives from the hangover of the author.
Aerith - Aeris dive just like Leo on in almost every comic and one of the original characters of the series. Unlike Leo she thinks about the things she does, by and acts only. Aeris embodied in many strips a female video game character. The name of Aeris is derived from the cat of the author.
Pantsman - Pantsman is a hero who fights against evil and embodies the alter ego of the author. Its name comes from the fact that he uses a boxer shorts as a mask, which he wears on his head. Even if he fights against the evil, he can also be very selfish if he, for example, Batman takes revenge by having disfigured his car. Pantsman does not appear in the regular video game parody comics on, but often. Comics in its own act, which have nothing to do with video games
Dr. F.G. Hobo - Dr. Hobo is a homeless man who thinks he's a doctor. He drinks and wears a paper bag on his head. As a rule, he is drunk and can not speak properly too. Dr. Hobo is but died in Strip 183. However, in a guest comic he steps between the strips 269 and 270 as spirit. In Strip 314 we see him alive again, however.
Krug - Krug is a monster with red hair and yellow eyes. For some comics out, we learn that he is friends with Leo and Aeris, as they play together as a computer role-playing game. He's a pretty simple knit spirit and also does not speak grammatically correct. Krug also carries the title of " Lord of the disgusting ", which, however, was not actively used in the comic.
Ternaldo - Ternaldo is a long friend of Leo and Aeris. He is an ardent fan of collectible card games, which also flows over again in various comics. It usually represents a very enthusiastic gamers, the most gullible the hype of a title go along, but this drops again after a short time because he has lost interest in it.
Johnny Evilguy - Johnny immersed in a rule as a shady dealer who wants the characters to sell something at an excessive price. In a parody of the video game Neverwinter Nights he asks, for example, the left testicle of a character.
