Maybe if we had fewer gags where Kathy is bawling Roy out for something, readers would catch on that they’re very much alike. Sure, she’s a little more sensible about practical things- but she too comes to work in costumes. And y’know, when we took a character popularity poll a few of years ago, Roy came in on top. And he hasn’t changed much since then. So one reader hating does not make a quorum.
I really like Kathy and Roy. They remind me of my husband and myself. We met at a Sci-Fi convention and that’s where we spend our anniversaries. We are both game masters (me D&D, him RPG). We both have costumes, etc. :o)
There seems to be an ongoing misperception among some readers that Kathy and Roy are mismatched. That she’s too grounded and sensible to be with him. If only this site had the complete archives, I could suggest going back to when Kathy entered the strip. They may not agree on everything, but they do on most things, and they are a good match.

Let’s see Kathy will soon be married, she is a cartoon, and I am happily married. Other than that I would marry her in a heart beat.

note to self… don’t feed the troll. Don’t. Feed. The troll. I want to, but it’s just gonna end badly.…
I think Roy’s expression is priceless. He looks sad and mad at the same time. Pretty cool!

Kathy is just a bit more reserved than Roy.

Roy just needs a site where the PS4 can be pre-ordered and put it on the registry there.
