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 a 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?Not to be confused with the cute aliens from Strontium Dog. Definitely not to be confused with Gonk or Gronkh.See also Nothing Special. Katie's next original series that came after this one.A book collecting the first year's worth of strips was published by Action Lab Comics.Has nothing to do with Rob Gronkowski.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Gronk (Webcomic) / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: It doesn't, but it's worth addressing that a number of people believed it did. Many people believed the Children Raise You angle to the strip was because the author was expecting a child of her own when the strip began, but she then explained that she'd had the comic idea for well over six years.

Vague Age: Gronk seems to have lived by herself among the monsters, but she has the personality of a small child. It's hard to say. One comic finally reveals that she's 109. But she's NOT a baby! She has one of her adult teeth!

comment
One-Hour Work Week: Dale seems to have nothing better to do with her time than hang out at home with her pets and Gronk, but it gives her enough cash to support them all and her nerdy habits. However, reading the characters page actually does reveal her job: She's a composer who makes music for commercials and TV, which she can conveniently do from home.
