==History==
Ramsoomair said that he began the strip due to boredom at work; he created comics during his lunch breaks.<ref name="TOKYOPOP">[http://www.tokyopop.com/TheMischievousFox/video/1517648.html?PHPSESSID=7dcb85fccc52d977dc9ad0c776998a32 "NYCC 2008 VG Cats Interview"], ''[[Tokyopop]]''.</ref> The first ''VG Cats'' strip was released on [[September 4]], [[2001]].<ref name="Gassy"/> Prior to taking the VGCats.com domain, the comic was hosted at www.vgcats.cjb.net.<ref name="BMushrooms01">[http://www.vgcats.com/badmushrooms/?strip_id=0 "#01 Bad Bushrooms"], ''VG Cats''</ref> For a period, ''VG Cats'' was affiliated with [[BuzzComix]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030207180943/http://www.buzzcomix.net/ "archive of the home page of"] ''[[BuzzComix]]''</ref> During [[April 1]] ([[April Fools' Day]]), [[2003]], Ramsoomair posted a "Krug" page in place of the regular home page.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030417064819/http://www.vgcats.com/krug/index.htm "welcome to kgug!"], ''VG Cats''</ref><ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030417013927/www.vgcats.com/main.htm "Main.htm"], ''VG Cats''</ref>

==Characters==
''VG Cats'' is not a storyline-based comic. There are several characters that are staples of the comic. Ramsoomair said that all of his characters "relate" to him "at some point."<ref name="ComixTalkInterview"> [http://comixtalk.com/index.php?q=an_interview_with_scott_ramsoomair_of_vg_cats "Gonzo Gaming: An Interview with Scott Ramsoomair of VG Cats"]. ''[[ComixTalk]]''.</ref> Recurring characters in ''VG Cats'' include:
[[Image:VG_cats_cast.gif|left|Partial cast of characters]]
{{clear}}
===Aeris===
A blue-eyed female cat with pink fur, '''Aeris''' is friends with Leo, though she hardly ever tolerates his stupidity. Though easily the most sensible character, she has a look of cuteness about her but a quick temper and little patience for the foolishness that surrounds her, and is almost always upset with the other characters. She is typically depicted as a sardonic voice of reason, or a [[Sadistic Personality Disorder|sadist]] when encountering people who she feels are annoying. Aeris was introduced on [[September 4]], [[2001]] in Strip 2, "Pika?". <ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=1 "Pika?"], ''VG Cats''</ref>
She is a Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children fan, and is left-handed. She is not very good at fighting games and usually gets irritated whenever Leo beats her and detests the XBOX. In VG Cats the Animated Series, it is shown that her two favorite TV shows are: ''[[Family Guy]]'', and ''[[Clone High]]''.{{Fact|date=June 2008}} She also dresses up as videogame characters just as much as Leo does, mostly female ones. She is a fan and writer of [[slash fiction|slash]] [[fan fiction]],<ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=126 "Stranger than Truth"], ''VG Cats''</ref> and [[yaoi]].<ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=223 "NSFH, Not Safe For Humanity"], ''VG Cats''</ref> Aeris is also named after one of Ramsoomair's real cats; Ramsoomair describes the association as "in name only."<ref name="About"/> {{-}}
===Leo Leonardo, The Third===
'''Leo Leonardo, The Third'''<ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=91 "Behind the Scenes, Part 1"], ''VG Cats''</ref> is a green-eyed male cat with grey fur. Leo, enthusiastic but credulous, is typically the more foolhardy of the two cats. While he usually projects a general air of idiocy, he has shown signs of a deeper intelligence, or at least marginal quantities of common sense. He also seems smarter when he is around some characters who are possibly more stupid. Some strips show Leo starring in the roles of video game characters such as [[Solid Snake]], [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]], <ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=118 "Ozzy"], ''VG Cats''</ref> [[Fox McCloud]], [[Leon S. Kennedy]], [[Niko Bellic]], <ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=21 "A Night On the Town"], ''VG Cats</ref> and [[Mario]]. Leo was named after one of Ramsoomair's real cats; Ramsoomair describes the association as "in name only."<ref name="About"/> Leo was introduced on [[September 4]], [[2001]] in Strip 1, "Feelin' Gassy".<ref name="Gassy"/> {{-}}
===Pantsman===
The [[alter ego]] of '''Scott Ramsoomair''', '''Pantsman''' is an incompetent [[superhero]] who conceals his identity by wearing [[trousers]] and sometimes [[underpants]] on his head. His greatest weakness is [[vodka]] cooler, which causes him to drop his trousers and transform into "Peter Pantsless".<ref name="Kruglor"/> He also wears a pair of [[jeans]] around his neck, to provide a two tailed [[cape]]. He was introduced in Strip 37, "I Like Bunnies", to help explain the inconsistent updating of the comic.<ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=34 "I Like Bunnies"], ''VG Cats''</ref>{{-}}
===Krug, Lord of the Unpleasant===
A horned red [[demon]] of limited intelligence, a childlike demeanor, and a voracious appetite (occasionally eating companions), '''Krug''' can act in a violent manner at times and tends to talk in the third person. His alter ego is '''Dr. Van Kruglor''', and is the arch-nemesis of Pantsman.<ref name="Kruglor">[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=81 "It's Lightish Red"], ''VG Cats''</ref> Krug was introduced in Strip 26, "The Incredible Krug".<ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=23 "The Incredible Krug"], ''VG Cats''</ref> {{-}}
===Ternaldo===
'''Ternaldo''' is a [[collectible card game]] fan oblivious to the finer points of social interaction. He is a Galka, a playable character race in [[Final Fantasy XI]]. Ternaldo enjoys [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game]], [[Beyblade]], and other collectible trading card games.<ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=129 "Ode to a Python"], ''VG Cats''</ref><ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=110 "Skittles"], ''VG Cats</ref> Ternaldo is often used to represent the ubiquitous [[newbie]] in gaming circles - someone who is overenthusiastic and completely clueless. Ternaldo was introduced in Strip 90, "Card Sharks".<ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=84 "Card Sharks"], ''VG Cats''</ref> {{-}}
===Dr. F.G. Hobo===
In strips 64 through 183, '''Dr. F.G. Hobo'''<ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=92 "Behind the Scenes, Part 2"], ''VG Cats''</ref> is an alley-dwelling lunatic given to telling absurd, rambling stories. He tends to speak with a drunken slur. Dr. Hobo was introduced in Strip 64, "Oh Canadia".<ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=58 "Oh Canadia!"], ''VG Cats''</ref> In Strip 183, "Gin City", some men find Dr. Hobo during a snowy night. One man touches Dr. Hobo's hand. The next several panels portray Dr. Hobo's body being placed in a body bag and taken into an ambulance.<ref>[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=180 "Gin City"], ''VG Cats''</ref> {{-}}
===Johnny Evilguy===
'''Johnny Evilguy''' is a greedy and unscrupulous [[antagonist]] named after an example character in the ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' scenario creation guide. He usually appears as a shop owner, in various circumstances, often trying to rid himself of a surplus of testicle-based produce. He was introduced in Strip 52, "Nutsack".<ref name="Nutsack">[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=47 "Nutsack"], ''VG Cats''</ref> {{-}}
===Major Payne===
Pantsman states that '''Major Payne''' was expelled out of the army for being a [[Sadism and masochism|masochist]].<ref name="Boundaries">[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=63 "Boundaries of Good Taste"], ''VG Cats''</ref> Payne was introduced in Strip 69, "Boundaries of Good Taste".<ref name="Boundaries"/> {{-}}
