A cat. A meringue. A catamaran. 'Nuff said.
Cat and Meringue
is a series of (usually) 4-panel comics about a Cat and (you guessed it) a Meringue in a Catamaran, a twin-hulled boat. It was written by Nich Angell. This comic resides on three things: Wordplay, No Fourth Wall, and Toon Physics. The first comic was written on the 1st November, 2010 and the 1000th strip, the last one, was written on the 17th June, 2013. The series has been said to continue again by the author, only time will tell...
Cat and Meringue is part of the Big Punch Multiverse, which includes Afterlife Inc and 7STRING.
