Scrabble does require literacy….
soo many animals and soo little time
As usual, their facial expressions are awesome. *giggles*
Bribing zoo keepers to play a multi-species Scrabble tournament sounds fun.
Oh, Grape. X3
Last panel is officially one of Grape’s best lines yet.
lol. “aww, but Da-ad!” Got to laugh, when you hear that remark and then think of two winey kids saying it.. lol, in my position though it be “aww, but Mo-om!” lollollol, but i never say that any more, too old and usualy there is no reason to say it. since things usualy are plenty good as is… ok now that i’v blabbed on long enough about that, scrabble… *thinks of what game that is* .. well i donno.. but whatever. Great comic.
As always, a great job with the expressions, especially the first and fourth panels.
aww poor guys
haha multi-species scrabble tournament. awesome
Heh, as verbose as I am, I never got into scrabble myself ^_^
Very cute page, especially the first panel.
In regards to a comment posted on an older strip about colouring this. I gave it a try on the last strip and it came out pretty well, but the problem is grapes shading. Due to the way you’ve done the B/W strips is coloured using these files grape would be darker than shown in the title image, so unless that’s acceptable the original files would need to be used with that shading removed (easy to do if you used layers and didn’t merge them.]
If interested at all, let me know [I'd work on this free (but sporadic) or at an agree'd low price if regular (like same/next day.)]
Oh, mentioned it in the old comment but I’ll say again here.
Could colour the whole thing, but a good idea for the style would be to only colour specific thing while they rest stays B/W… for instance either only ever colour Grape and Peanut (I think that would looks great) or only characters (not backgrounds nor objects…. unless a specific object were important enough to want to draw attention to it.)
I can hear my cat, Raven, say “but mo-om!” every time I tell him he can’t go outside. On a side note, you’d think zoo animals would be more literate. Maybe it’s a way to avoid knowing anything about the “Do Not Feed The Animals” signs.
Did one of them get the “CRAZIEST” mega-bonus?
As usual, great comic.
Grape and Peanut’s dad is a lumberjack.
-and he’s okay
I WANNA SEE THE BOVIDS!!!
They are so undeniably cute here! Ooh! And Grape is as straight forward as ever! ^^
Cute! Grape, stop implying that you need more money
it’s been said before, not by me tho…
their dad looks like chuck norris
I was just thinking that. <.<
Well, the zoo was fun, but I’ll be glad to see the rest of the neighborhood again, especially if it involves more cat on dog action. Woof.
haha, I’m totally gonna CG the crap out of this page =3
Awwww! I want them to stay at the zoo, too!
)
At least to go see the bears (to which I have a rather big fondness, imagine that.
I…don’t really get it….Were they getting the names of animals wrong in the scrabble tournament and payed the zookeepers who were judging it to look they other way and allow their answers?
Nonono. They paid the zookeepers to look the other way and allow the tournament in the first place. XD
..why? They’re the only animals in the zoo that are literate and it’s unfair?
Because what kind of zookeeper is going to let all of the animals get together in the same place and participate in a massive game of scrabble?
Oh, I thought it was “animal name” scrabble not all the animals having a scrabble tournament D:
