I need to read Cat and Girl more often

It's funny because it's true. It ties in to a lot of things I've observed, such as pulp detective, porn and horror novels being kitschy and cool while pulp romance novels aren't. However, this strip ignores the cultural cachet of Hello Kitty, Rainbow Brite and the Care Bears, though the last may be more of a gender-neutral phenomenon than I give it credit for.

How many boys in the audience owned Care Bear dolls?

An excellent point.

How many specifically feminine things are viewed as kitschy-cool? Hmm. Must ponder. Vintage cookbooks, especially the ones with cocktail recipes involving sherry and hot chicken broth?
