So in Daredevil #3, Matt catches someone in a lie, saying "Lying cat says 'Lying.'" -- a reference to the Lying Cat character in Saga.
So how on earth, even with his super powers, does Matt read comic books?

Matt's sense of touch is such that he can feel the ink on paper and read normal print with his fingertips. At least, that's how it used to work.
That's what I remember. His fingertips can read the text in a book/newspaper, like an optical character reader. I'm not sure how well he could visualize a picture using his fingertips, though.

Yeah, I think comics would work differently than text. There's pretty much ink all over the comics page -- not the discrete forms of individual letters.
I didn't say it was easy!
Maybe Foggy's big into comics and he used the reference around Matt?
I love Brian K. Vaughn (he's a genius) and Saga, but here's one not so well known info : the lying cat is a total rip off from George RR Martin short stories about a character called Haviland Tuff.
So maybe Matt had heard the audio book, hence the reference :)
I hate to hear that. I love the lying cat!
well it's a cruel world :) for me, it doesn't make BKV a less brilliant author.
anyway, if you read SF litterature, try Haviland, it's really worth it.
