"OK, Gronk; if you're going to stay here, we're going to need to teach you about my world. One: This is my office. No touchy. Two, there are always cookies in this jar. If we're running low, let me know. Three, you're going to have to watch some educational movies. We'll start with the Muppets."

Gronk is a webcomic by Katie Cook. It can be found here.

The titular Gronk is a monster; she is of 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 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 affable shut-in who agrees to fix her kitty plushie. The two bond, and Dale agrees to teach Gronk about the human world.

What follows is an extremely nerdy and extremely sweet-natured Slice of Life comic about a girl and her adopted monster child, in which Gronk attempts to cope with the human world after getting all her information from the Internet and TV. It's cute, it's full of geeky references, it's cute, it has a style of humor similar to Yotsuba&!, and... did we mention it was cute?

Definitely not to be confused with Gonk or Gronkh.


Tropes used in Gronk include:
