Spo always comes completely prepared for any debate.
He’s the world’s smallest politician!
lol no argument’s there
Arguments are futil against Spo anyway.
Spo need a girlfriend.
Does a girlfriend need Spo?
i dictate that spo be crazy
See? see? YOUR arguments come from crazyland!
If Spo gets a significant other, let’s hope Spo is what they need, too.
Alt text: “But let’s be honest, EVERYTHING not within my tiny island of true knowledge is crazy land”
Thanks! No one usually cares enough to put it up, but it’s good to see that I’m not the only crazy one!
A two-people majority! Now you can dictate the new debate standard!
I don’t always debate… but when I do, I come compleatly prepared
More Spo the better! ^^
agreed.
I am enjoying seeing more of the old style strips, makes me nostalgic.
This strip explains the everyday e-discussion I see.
Ee! He’s got a little stand too!
I think it’s a paperclip he cut up
Spo, god of rewriting reality
This is Spo logic.
Spo is going to be my lawer someday…
now, all make sense, I think
…and he doesn’t worry about the clowns to the left of him?
He can’t see that far into crazyland.
*reads through comic*
*head explodes from confusion again*
Dang it, Rick, why do you have to make things so confusing?! XD
cause its never fun when stuff makes sense.
Sense? What fun is there in making sense?
Wait, wouldn’t that make Fido the standard if he’s center then?
Ahhhhhhh! Politics! Run away!
*flees*
*also flees*
Not if he’s the fringe center
Aren’t all center groups crazy though?
I defy you to find a political group that ISN’T crazy… XD
fringe center
so hes on the edge of the center
what edge left, right, north, or south
Mice hide under the fringe.
unless there raiding it!
Fundamentalist Centrist. The purple party.
Aww, but purple is the BEST color
Purple is not a real color. It is a mixture of the far ends of the spectrum. There are no purple photons. Violet is the closest thing to purple in the real world. Actually, all colors are our subjective observation of photons of different frequencies. Never mind.
So purple is just a pigment of your imagination!
Subjectively, they all are. I must salute you as a master of puns, Argent.
Also! At least we’re having fun! Haters to the left!
Does that mean non-haters are The Right?
HEY HIS SUNGLASSES ARE BACK YAY!
Oh, woops, someone beat me by a second.
Oh wait, that’s SPO we have a close up on!
I thought it was a different character!
Never enough Spo closeups!
yep and there are more but this was the only one i could find in an arc.
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/02/23/their-naming-conventions-had-a-cover-charge/
wonder if the rest are just out of arc close ups
And no one yet has commented about his sunglasses or eyes.
Pete agrees with Spo’s approach.
I can’t put into words how entertaining this is. I only hope that one day I will be able to form such an irrefutably logical argument in my own defense. I need to draw up some charts quick.
Better hurry up, out here in the real world the center’s about to break the sound barrier.
I was never one for following debates. Now I’m a bit confused. Although I’ll admit, Spo really knows how to work things in his favor.
Sometimes crazy is just crazy. I argue with Quantum Physics and all theoretical sciences, not so that I may be acknowledged as right, but rather to find what is right.
Will you kick me off the Island just because I’m willing to question what is accepted without question? Well, then sir, I reject your crazy reality and substitute it with my own.
Besides that, I get what they’re both saying.
One day the battle of the minds will take plase between Snowmon and Spo.
(I’ll be watching you). *creeply walks away*
I can’t believe I was just bugged…
Spo doesn’t seem like a very common character.
But his logic does make sense to us I think..?
He´s quite unique
Spo is Bahamuth!
Only seen rarely for a reason.
I think that he is seen ever so rarely because although yes he is genious,genious has few but distinktive moments. This is why Spo is so memerable in the comics he shows up in.Plus at times he can be a smart alic,but of corse this is the reason as to why we love that adorible mouse!!
Is it bad if this makes sense to me?
Not at all!
(Welcome to the dark side. Bwhahahaha)
Uh, I mean, “Knowledge and Wisdom are the real power!”
You know what they say, big ideas always start small
“An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules.”
Haha! You fool! You fell for one of the classic blunders!
Waits for him to start laughing with a smile on his face.
One of the funnier parts of the movie.
The only firm conclusion I can make is that Spo is walking a delicate tightrope between total genius and utter insanity. In four short panels he has re-written the argument for some unknown topic, toppling any opposing viewpoints and establishing his own as a new standard. Such an act is brazen at best and heresy at worst. Spo, I tip my hat to you.
At least the conversation gave Fido an idea for his internet comic strip this week.
He better not try that logic on Grape.
Because as a mouse I think she would probably just eat him and win the debate.
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/10/03/stop-the-revolution-i-want-to-get-off/
yep that will quiet the dissenters
ah, but you forget! That is blunt grape. THIS is where Debate Grape comes in.
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/06/23/no-escape/
this may just be my extremely-right-side views talking, but i do believe that….Grape still wins.
I would not call spin doctoring a winning move in a debate. I am more a consumer of the lunatic middle biased news, such as is found on Comedy Centrist Network.
Your going to need a new tag for all the strips with Charts and Graphs in them rick
I think reality is open to interpretation
What could have they been arguing about ??? I think we´ll never know …
If Spo keeps this up, we’ll see changes in universal physical constants and we’ll all wake up in some freaky world like in Quite Earth.
Do we get to choose our species?
Of course, by that logic, since no one is opposite Fido’s stance after Spo sets the new standard, Fido will win the next debate, setting the standard back to where it was before, meaning that Spo will set the standard back again…
Help! I’m trapped in a logic loop!
i end your logic loop with a paradox.
i am there for I’m not.
Yes, you aren’t. Wait, no you are?
is it just me or did spo get smaller?
Ummm… Your charts are too small Spo, I can’t read them.
*Runs away from his weird logic*
I for one welcome our new adorable overlord!
All hail Spo the Reality-rewriter!
Never get involved in a land war in Asia, and never go up against Spo when logic is on the line.
*sigh* That’s our Spo.
yep… but we love him
My, Fido DOES look cuter, today
And Spo even more so than usual
The scary thing is you get real hits googling for “fringe centrist”.
wait those arent sunglasses there lens caps.
i dont see a bridge or the things that go over the ears.
was he tanning before he got in this argument with SPO?
The bridge is hidden by his bangs
i guess that could be true ive seen sunglasses that only have the bridge.
The continuation of Spo’s life defies logic.
Especially when you take into account the look on Fido’s face in that last panel.
Er, Spo, you just made yourself the center. You just called yourself a… ah… nevermind. Carry on.
Thats why Spo is Spo!
Hey! Spo and Fido are back!
And they are arguing over whether or not reality should be changed! Wait… XD
It should! We need talking pets in this reality too!
That’s like saying we need creepy ethical and moral issues that will tear civilization apart.
Eh, we’ve already got plenty of those. What’s one or two more?
Personaly I wonder -_- … whare exatly did the cards,stand,and pointer come from?…O_o
if you ask, you’re crazy.
Again, Spo wins over your weak logic
The stand started it’s life as Iron Ore in a humble mine in… oh, you mean just now? They were simply off-panel
What would happen if Spo met someone with identical debating prowess, but polar opposite viewpoints?
i refer you to my above comment/reply
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/06/23/no-escape/
Grape still wins
Yay for crazyland!
politics+me=rage
rage+more politics= shotgun spree!!!!!!! (YEA!!!!!!)
the stardars are ephemeral !!!
in this world lacking of common sence, spo would be a master of puppets
I met people at debate tournaments who argued like that.
I got thrown out of a debate tournament for telling my opponent to shut up. I guarantee that if I had had Spo’s logic in my corner I’d have won.
