Nermal is a guy?

[stratego]

Nermal, that annoying gray cat from Garfield is a guy? Why did they draw him like a girl cat with long eyelashes.

Edit: from Nermo -> Nermal

 

[Cuivienen]

It shocked me when I learned that, too. I have no explanation.

(IIRC, It's Nermal.)

 

[Immortal]

You mean Nermal?

Yes, he's a little kitten who just happens to be cute as a button.

 

[Syterion]

I'm going to need a pic.

I've boycotted all Davis products. Realizing that Garfield is boring and repetitive was so easy and the fact that it was so popular made me want to vomit, so I decided to boycott it.

EDIT: Oh you mean Nermal! I figured someone who so often talked about his cuteness would be female, but I guess I'm wrong.

 

[SeleucusNicator]

Yeah, I'm with Syterion on this one.

This is very worrying to me, stratego, that you read Garfield. I think I am going to have to cut you out of the sig.

Yup Nermal is a guy, learned it a long time ago, and surprised me too.

But, Nermal is also a girl (or was), used to have two female cats (sisters) who looked like the Cartoon Cats, so we named 'em Garfield and Nermal. Alas, Garfield was put down over a year ago, and Nermal was just put down a month ago

 

[LLXerxes]

i never thought ahout it...

I didn't even realize that I was on your sig, so it wouldn't bother me much. And yes, I read Garfield.

That thing is not a guy! It had a female voice on the cartoon!

 

[Riesstiu IV]

Maybe Nermal got a sex change?

 

[Vietcong]

any one got a pic??

 

[CivCube]

Nermal is unsure about hermself, especially ever since Davis hired artists to work for him.

Nermal has been refered to as he/him multiple times in the strip.

 

[Amenhotep7]

It's obviously a transvestite, obviously.

Or maybe it's a guy cat dressed in drag (feline equivalent to drag).

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

I never realized Nermal was male. That is freaky.

 

[Esckey]

Only found out when I saw the movie(YAY FOR JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT!!) I was like "Wait a second! Nermal's a girl!...........isn't she? I mean he? I mean uhhh it?"

 

[De Lorimier]

I always knew Nermal was a male but it has more to do with the fact that I read Garfield in French when I was a kid. Everything as a sex in French (that's why most people hate learning the language) and it made it clear to me that Nermal was a male.

 

[Perfection]

All that needs to be said about Garfield

 

[Immortal]

so Im to understand Nermal was an il not an elle.

Pretty much yeah. Also refered to as "ce maudit chat" instead of "cette maudite chatte".
