''Gronk'' is a [[webcomic]] by Katie Cook. It can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20100503140539/http://www.gronkcomic.com/ here].
 
The titular Gronk is a monster; she is of [[Vague Age|indeterminate age]], but is probably somewhere in the vicinity of "pretty young." Among all of the monsters, she is the most horrible...ly cute. And she is [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|unhealthily fond of cats for a monster.]] After her beloved plush kitty is torn in a fight with another monster, she decides to leave the monster woods forever. Soon afterwards, she meets Dale, an [[Cool Loser|affable shut-in]] who agrees to fix her kitty plushie. The two bond, and Dale agrees to teach Gronk about the human world.
Line 10 ⟶ 11:
''Definitely'' not to be confused with [[Gonk]] or [[Gronkh]].
