The GA passed 5 years ago, and I'm surprised that it did.
First of all, it is very lacking in secondary sources. Nearly every source is to the strip itself. And of the sources that aren't:
The other sources are the artist's VCL gallery, and listings from the Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards and Ursa Major awards. While I don't think it's even notable (there is years of consensus saying that Ursa Major and Web Cartoonists' Choice are not enough for
WP:WEB), one thing at a time. See among others,
Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(web)/Archive_08#Web_Cartoonist.27s_Choice_award,
Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Dan_and_Mab's_Furry_Adventures,
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sabrina Online (2nd nomination) — these discussions have all shown a well established consensus that WCCA is not enough to meet
WP:WEB. And the fact that Ursa Major Awards' article was AFD'd 2 years ago, I'd say it's not a notable award either.
Even back in 2007, the nomination was called into question ("I'm unsure how this has got to GA - it is completely lacking in reliable sources and the referencing is thin - largely references to awards sites and the comic itself. This is particularly noticeable in the themes and reception sections which should be heavily referenced to reliable third party sources and they aren't."), but nothing ever came of it.
