    1. wut!? that [beep] painfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. at least you concord it but try not to do the and sorry for spelling

  4. Don’t you just hate it when that happens?

  5. Aw, poor Gamercat isn’t a very good liar…

  6. mmmm…Where have I seen this before http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=249

    1. Wow, I honestly did not know about that comic :(

      1. Don’t worry. It it makes you feel any better I like this version better ;3

        1. That does make me feel better :) Thank you!

        2. I like this one better too! =]

        3. me to that comic is kind of inappropriate ackshuly vary inappropriate sorry for the spelling mistake

      2. Are you fucking kidding me…? I think there’s a pretty good chance you do know about VGcats. Try to come up with your own material, scott certainly does.

        1. Of course I know about VGcats. I didn’t know about that particular AC comic that he did. I haven’t read all of his comics.

          I already amended the description above to give due credit to VGcats for doing it first. What more do you want? I’m not trying to copy anybody here, it’s just hard to come up with original ideas when they’ve pretty much been done before. Similar jokes are going to happen.

        2. Wellll… I suppose I can understand that. Sorry for being rude. If I may impart some advice, lurk moar. If you know most of whats already been done, you’ll be less likely to unintentionally repost a joke.

        3. Don’t worry about it. There’s a ton of gaming comics out there, so accidentally using the same joke as someone else is completely understandable. I think you handled this well.

          Why am I reminded of that SouthPark Episode…”The Simpsons did it”…

        4. I understand that it’s been so long that you probably don’t care about this, or are simply tired of it, but I’d just like to thank you. Thank you for the work you out into this and for the pride you have in it, as a reader that’s all that is asked that you actually care for what you do as much as or more than we do. Thank you again and sorry for bringing you back here.

        5. Jesus, you’re an asshole. How dare she have the same thought while playing the same game! You know, a thought that tons of other people had! To even suggest that Celesse should read all the gaming comics out there to make sure she doesn’t get the same idea as other people is beyond stupid.

          As for VGcats, it hasn’t been funny in years. I haven’t read it in years. I wouldn’t know what the current comics are, but I’m sure that they’d be very similar to all the bazillion other gaming comics out there. It’s not groundbreaking material.

          So get off your high horse and purchase some common sense and logic. And some social etiquette while you’re at it.

        6. VGcats hasn’t even updated in years. Well, okay, it has, but it’s like… the first bi-annual webcomic.

        7. If you feel the need to attack or belittle someone over something as trivial as this was, at LEAST get your spelling correct! (grumble..grumble…grumble)

        8. Jesus, what is WRONG with you? Seriously! What kind of crippling mental handicap makes someone act the way you do? And this nonsense about reading every single webcomic ever so you know every joke ever told? Further evidence of your issues, I guess.

        9. Uh… You’re right to be upset about this, but seriously, even though this is more than half a year later, you should REALLY know better than to make insults based on someone having mental handicaps. That’s WAY different than calling someone stupid, because people can’t help those; they’re born with them.
          It’s not much different than insulting someone by calling them gay.

        10. Honestly I think this joke is totally different o_o same concept, different punchline. This one is way more funny then the VGcats one.

        11. hey Mr Morgen try and make this family friendly

        12. VG Cats is terrible

      3. So just because you can’t come up with anything original that means you feel the need to pretend that you hadn’t known about the thing you’re copying but insist on using plagiarism? You’re comic sucks and I’m done reading it God I’d rather read Awkward Zombie or virtual shackles and I might as well be making jokes while playing skyrim even the Brentalfloss comic is better than this

        1. LOL Right, that’s totally what I’m doing. Okay, you’re boring me now. You can go away if you hate my comic so much.

        2. I mean, personally, what amazes me most here, is that these people are so obsessed with h8ing on the “plagiarism” (I don’t think you plagiarized anything for the record) that they’ve missed a perfect opportunity to crack the obvious joke here: if gamercat did the same thing as vgcats, does that make him a copycat? BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA! I’m sorry. I’ll see myself out now…

        3. Are you still talking?

        4. Just saying, this concept is actually very different from VG cats’. In theirs, the blade stabs through him and I’m pretty sure he’s dead. xD This one seems like it’s explaining that very similar scar in AC. Which is really clever; I looove this comic, Celeese. Your style is so memorable. <3

        5. I honestly believe I have never met anyone so stupid in my entire life. So the comic is similar, are you honestly so mentally incompetent that you cannot see that it is not that big a deal, please go do the world a favor and die horribly in a fire

        6. Ouch, dude. It’s a common mistake; several people have done this kind of thing before.
          For example, while I’m not a webcomic writer, I am a programmer, and I have run into cases where I’ll have a program with the same concept as once I made a while ago, but it turns out the other one was made first. So what? It doesn’t mean I copied them.

          Back to the general concept of webcomics, I’ve actually thought that I should start one, and if it happened to be about gaming, I probably would’ve made the same mistake. Until now, when I saw this argument, I’d never even heard of the VGcats comics, much less read any.

          About the second part, really, dude? If you don’t like it, don’t read it. There are several thousands/millions/billions/whatever more people who would like it or already do. You certainly don’t need to hate on it.

      4. I honestly dont get all the hate. Plagiarism is bad, but in this case, its fine. Its not copyright or anything. Take a chill pill, dudes.

    2. Yeah but I like this one better because it’s less gory

      1. I agree.

  7. For what’s it worth, that’s probably something we all thought one way or another when seeing that blade :P

    btw, did you change the strip recently? I could’ve sworn it had darker backgrounds some days ago.

  8. Gamercat is awesome!!!!! Keep it up =]

  9. perhaps they should put a safety feature on those?

  10. >_> I like Gamercat better then VG Cats.

    1. Yeah I agree more humor less blood, language, and mature themes

    2. Agreed

  11. I love both vgcats and gamercat. I look to vgcats for his negative reviews, while I look to gamercat for her cute positive thoughts on games. Though I admit I lean more to gamercat because vgcats could get a bit perverted, but he’s a guy, so it’s expected.
    Similar ideas always and will happen. To me I like when that happens, it means I get to see it in more than one way. xb

  12. RegretfulKittyDrake

    So thats how ezio and altaîr got their scar on the lip….

  13. Mr. Moregan! If you post your opinin, she might syop making GC Cpomics! And I hope VG caTS GETS deleted!

    1. If you had bothered to read any of the comments above (even the description of the comic itself), you would have seen that this issue has been addressed already.

      1. I honestly couldn’t care less I HATE RIP-OFFS

        1. Then your unjustified hate has been duly noted.

        2. Don’t you have anything better to do with you’re life then write replies to negative comments on some poorly-written web-comic

        3. Given that this is my webcomic, no. Don’t you have anything better to do than try to troll a “poorly-written” web comic?

        4. Its blatant plagurism. You arent remotely funny, and even the ‘gags’ you steal arent funny, and you rage when you’re caught ot and whine and call anyone a troll who is better than you.

          You….Suck x3

        5. YOU SUCK JORDAN!

          Celesse I really love your comics! (this one was a little unsettling tho)

        6. Rip off implies it was a shitty imitation of the original. In this case, the original VGCats was shitty and so’s your face.

        7. It’s less of a “Rip-Off” and more of an “Unaware Plagarism”…
          Wow, that didn’t help at all…

        8. FreakyGamer123890

          Congrats, no one cares! Yes these are the same idea, but seriously, getting this pissed over one comic being the same. I’m a big fan of VG Cats and only came across this through VG Cats (That’s how I found this argument), and for hating this comic, that’s just your opinion, these comics are nice and the art is well done. I still prefer VG Cats over The Gamer Cat, but this is still nice to read (I prefer VG Cats because its a bit more mature than this). Its good to have a young aged friendly gaming comic on the internet.

        9. HEY! If you don’t like this comic, just get off the site.
          WE DON’T CARE.
          Stop ruining the chat by inflicting your cancerous mood here.

        10. OverlyDramaticLogic

          Wow. I can’t believe this is your way of making yourself feel better.
          try making your own webcomic and dealing with other people’s comments.

      2. I like your comic much better than the other. I’ve had similar ideas to comics before, but I’ve always managed to represent an old joke in a unique and funny way, like you’ve done. Even if you knew the joke existed, an idea is not copyright. You have every right to make this.
        And i love it! It’s awesome, funnier, and less gory. Much better than the other. It’s original.

  14. Seems like nose jokes are…

    ( •_•)>⌐■-■

    (⌐■_■).

    a popular pick.

    1. DUN DUN TSH!

    2. YEAAAAAAAAA!

      P.S. fuck VG cats, I like comics that I can check more then once every 6 months.

  15. Your webcomic is absolutely adorable. :)

    Also, to the people raging about how VG Cats did this first, if you’re going to be so harsh, why don’t you make your own webcomic, yeah? With your obviously superior artist ability and wit.

    I do enjoy VG Cats, but their updates have gotten so slow, I don’t even bother to check their website. And personally, while Scott has a nice style, I would still prefer The Gamercat to VG Cats even if they updated more often.

    Soooo keep up the great work. :)

    1. Don’t be an idiot. No one here said anything about her art style. They were just pointing out that someone else already did something very similar.

      1. He’s not. He’s simply pointing out that he likes Gamercat more than VG cat. He wasn’t trying to make a statement. Lol idiot

    2. While i do agree with you Cadenza i thik that the “Id like to se you do better!” Argument is kinda like saying “You can’t have an opinion on this if you don’t do it yourself. It’s kinda like cooking food or making jokes. You don’t have to be a chef or comedian to like some kinds of food or jokes while disliking other stuff. But again i do still agree with you on everything else.

      1. Put a ” between jokes. And It’s.

  16. This… is so… cute and funny!

    Gamer Cat: no really they were huge!!
    Fairy: yeahhhhhhhh

    Will you have Gamer cat art at your con table? Cause hes just too cute!

    and wow a lot of hateraid going on with viewers… like dude enjoy the adorable kitty.

  17. A lesson is in this… A warning in both… XD Maybe THAT’S why they’re so similar to each other!

  18. Don’t listen to the nasty trolls! Your comics are amazing and cute, keep up the great work!!

  19. Gamercat es demasiado genial! *O*
    So cool!

  20. VG cats may have done it first, but you did it better! <3

  21. So far your comics have been very comical. I love it!

    Celesse don’t take it personally what others say. Ignore them and they will lose interest. Honestly, you know you are good if you have at least some haters. ;)

  22. I was gonna say I’ve seen this on VG Cats…. Both very good comics and both I love very much <3 Keep it up!!

  23. What a lot of unemployed people with soooooo much free time. Pathetic. You’d think that VGCats got the patent! It’s like saying no more fighting videogames must be made… lots of brands had released similar ones much before!! Sacrilege!

    I love your art, Celesse :) It’s simple and clean, funny and shrewd!

    I needed to say it. (even a year after) You may publish a whole book with all the comments XD

  24. Well, no wonder he got hurt like that. He put the blade on the wrong hand, then completely forgot about it! Not that he needs it anyway, what with his razor-sharp feline claws. Nothing wrong with a little blade redundancy, though.

  25. WARNING!
    this hidden blade has a very sensitive mechanism.
    DO NOT AIM AT YOUR OWN FACE.

    1. BWAHAHA! Right? xD
      This made me laugh for a good 5 minutes: especially his expression in the last panel! xD

  26. Who cares about VGcats this is so much cuter and better looking in general

  27. i HATE vgcats gamercat is the best around

  28. Nothing is original nowadays :) It is all in the execution, and for all intents and purposes, having read both yours and VGCats’version, I can safely say I consider yours better, both in artistic execution and punchline. So keep it up :)

  29. This reminded me so much of sword fights in Monkey Island…

    – I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle!
    – I hope now you’ve learned to stop picking your nose.

  30. Happens to me all the time….

  31. I think I enjoyed reading the comments more than the comic on this one. Although it isn’t a bad one. Plus I don’t fault the artist/writer for such an incident. If one were to pay attention to other things that have small pools of inspirational material you will likely find similarity between them. Take visual kei for one example they are groups within their own right and have a distinctive sound if you listen long enough but to an outsider they all seem the same or nearly the same. Which given the fact that some do come from an old band that disbanded then formed a new band from fragments of other ones similarities are bound to occur. Now to apply that knowledge to this: two comics with a similar theme. One they both are cat related and two they have a common game. Its not surpising that out of the millions of people two webcomics with similar basings would create a similar comic and who knows this VGcats person could”ve gotten it from someone else perhaps an artist who was doing as a fan art with the characters of the game. Now chew on that Ima go on reading

  32. Did Gamercat get that costume for himself or did his owner get it for him?

  33. GaMERCaT should’ve taken off his Hidden Blades before picking his nose! :)

  34. Bwahahaha !
    My preferred with Toilet Science ! This is priceless. I love your drawing style. Flash ? SAI ? Photoshop ?

  35. So many guards, he barely came out alive -w-

  36. Your comic isnt funny. Every time it has been on memebase it hasnt even made me smile. You’re cliche, predictable and recycle jokes.

    You have contributed absolutely nothing new to any community. You are forgotten.

    1. GM peashooter #172

      Thank you for such a great expression on why you hate this Joke. Now please take your ‘ creativity”, and go to Mars with it, then take off your space helmet. To put it simply, take your face, and get the (Mao) out.

    2. w your most likely dead, and so is vg cats,

  37. Its telling how all the comments praising this shit comic follow up with equally shit jokes or display some sort of mental mishap regardless.

  38. That’s what you get for having a hidden blade.

  39. The thing about automatic hidden blades is you can accidentally activate them, like you butt dial someone

  40. this happens to me so many times! my nose feels itchy and i scratch at it and my teacher thinks i’m picking my nose…ugh…

  41. Im laughing so hard right now!!!

  42. Im laughing so hard right now!!!!!!

  43. What’s with all the hate. They both did the same joke but they did it differently and they were both great. Stop the hate please.

  44. luna The #1 Pokefan

    and thats why u should not pick your noes

    1. You know what’s funny. I was picking my nose the same time I read the that. Ha ha!

  45. Having a sharp blade in your sleeve does have its drawbacks.

  46. I just love the last panel where he’s just like,what just happened?LOL!

  47. omg injured by pickin yur nose….

  48. I…Don’t think that’s a claw… (where the heck did he get that)

    1. Where do you think?

  49. Ouch! It;s a really great murder weapon.

  50. i just would pick my nose with the costume OFF

  51. Thank you so much for including AC in GC’s collection. It’s true, most guys freak out when I tell them I love AC, which always confuses me. (Not this comic; I was looking through the other tagged posts)

    As for the hate, you keep doing you and we will love you for it. I always look forward to new posts, and have been sharing the crap out of the xmas comics.

    I hope you have a wonderful Holiday (which ever one you celebrate), and a joyful new year.
    <3

  52. Celesse, make more comix plzzzz

    happey new yearrrrrrrrr

  53. Celesse, make more comix plzzzz

    almost.

  54. Picking your nose is a art of its own. And it takes a lifetime to master.

    … which is actually true -for me 😅-

    I’m kinda amazed why i even y i commented it has been around a decade and a bit since this was published

    =-=‘

  55. This is the one where the art style got changed (you can see by looking at his bandana)

    1. You’re right! It does change here! The art style also slowly evolved into what it is now, but this was the beginning! Good eye! :3
