Emily the Strange
Emily Strange (sometimes written as Emily The Strange) is a counterculture comic character, drawn by Buzz Parker (and latterly by a team of artists) and published by Cosmic Debris Etc. Inc.
Emily is slight, in her early teens, of exceptionally pale complexion. She has jet black hair, and wears a black dress and black tights, set off by large white Mary Jane shoes. Emily has a dark (some say gothic) worldview. She is accompanied by her four black cats: Nee-Chee, Miles, Mystery, and Sabbath. Although they vary in character, each shares Emily's outlook. The character's appearance and demenour could be compared with Wednesday Addams.
Emily Strange has gained a reputation as something of a feminist comic icon, and the franchise has a considerable merchandising catalog, including clothing, stationary, stickers, and accessories, all featuring Emily's distinctive appearance and frequently featuring one of her sayings (such as a beach-towel emblazoned with "Wish you weren't here").
