If Professor Michio Kaku’s theories are correct! One round-trip ticket to alternate universe please Mr. Sandwich!
Space and time are not conditions in which we live, they are simply modes in which we think (albert einstein).. and now with this touch of ponbon added to the mix spacetime has become that much more dare I say… fuzzy ;3
because i live under a rock I need to ask, who is ponbon? was it the guy talking to peanut in the last comic?
Yes.
what is he from?
omygod datface so cute
And I don’t know how to make their faces my avatar D:
print screen crop in paint replace
simple no?
Well if she’d bother explaining things once in awhile instead of pulling a Dumbledore all the time…
Does this mean Ponbon is lost forever!?
Only until the end of time.
wait no more Ponbon?!
They sent him to the end of time. Do you know what happens after the end of time?
You subscribe to Newsweek?
Ponpon now does, if anyone…
Ummm… you, The Doctor, and Captain Jack launch a bunch of humans off in a rocket ship?
Only to come back in time as robospheres and decimate the population. With a little help from The Master… and his wife.
You become your very own Fursona?
darnit now i REALLY need to get to PsyCon
1 way ticket to the end of time is all i need!
The Gnab Gib?
But I figured that time was cyclical
Nah, it’s not round, it’s more of a wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey… thing… The best illustration is a box of Christmas Lights.
Incandescant or the new fancy LED kind?
Whichever version ends up as a Gordian Knot. Those things are impossible to untangle.
Isn’t that how they illustrate Quantum Leap?
New Game+
That’s a Bastion reference, right?
It can be, New Game+ has been in various games before bastion though (usually the same concept, sans an actual ingame time-travel machine)
For the time-travel sequence, it’d be a Chrono Trigger reference.
That IS a problem, Ponbon is too adorable to never see again.
A Ponbon plush toy to snuggle with! o.o
I would LOVE that.
The third panel is both adorable and depressing. And I’m guessing this arc is now over right?
Also Peanut totally killed a guy, what the heck Rick.
I doubt he´s dead, but I find reaaaally difficult to take him back
Grape totally killed a mouse and maybe the rat pack. Housepets-universe is totally full of what the heck, if you think about it.
I read Peanut’s statement about not seeing him again as a joke relating to the crossover (in fact if you notice, he’s leaning on the – if not fourth then first – wall as he says it). Like at the end of the Simpsons/Critic crossover….
Jay: “And if any of you want to come visit MY show….”
Bart: “Nah, we’re not gonna be doing that.”
i don’t think ‘cuz you just never know
To quote Leonard Nimoy “No one ever dies in Science Fiction” (and webcomics)
Except Uncle Ben. He always ends up dead.
Also red shirts. But they’re more an institution than characters anyway, so they don’t “die” in the technical sense.
Speaking of Redshirts, Scalzi’s new novel is awesome.
Considering Tarot is already planning phone calls to make, it probably means she has ways to bring Ponbon back. They’re just very annoying ways.
Ether that or she’s just making calls to cover her fuzzy little tail in the matter.
Maybe to tell peeps that he’s gone
That was actually my first thought
Peanut, EVERYTHING is a thing according to Sabrina!
Aww peanuts sad face is so cute
Panel 3 is like “Titanic” moment or something!
This is why I never liked manning the wife’s booth while she was out.
Because there’s no manning like womaning?
Your joke was bad and you should feel bad!
So… I guess Ponbon failed to prove his point.
…epically
Unless his point was with a friend saying, “Bet you that dog’s not dumb enough to send you to the end of time”. Then he’s winning.
Or get lost at the end of time!
Ha! If this where a room full of psychics I’d be surprised they use phones too. That joke reminds me a lot of teamfourstar’s humour
Now, what do you want to bet they work even when they’re not connected to the phone lines?
My phone already works when its not connected to the wall.
http://sadpanda.us/images/1139616-0C9WLNE.gif
*Gasps*
WHAT? A PHONE THAT DOESN’T NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO A WALL? ‘TIS BLASPHEMY! BURN THE WITCH!
I never said the wall. I said the phone line A cell phone tower is connected to the phone line
I have lillypad software.
I’m so confuzzled
It’s all soo bamboozling
Lets not blame Tarot! I mean its not like she’s psychic and could have fortold that — em…. well, its not like she has a mental link with Peanut and could see what he was doin– em…. Know what, let’s blame Tarot!
You know you kind of have a point there.
But what if Tarot wasnt paying attention at the moment, i doubt she is always linked to Peanut’s mind.
That would be like privacity invation
lets say both have a part of the fault…they are a couple, after all
Tarot should call this Doc Brown. I’m quite certain he can help her.
Naw, just need to call a blue box. it has been to the end of time and back before!
Just carve the message into any box that will eventually end up in a museum. He will arrive immediately.
I thought he hated museums?
Phone calls ? why not “psychic” calls … you know … we are at PsyCon … just saying
Well, it’s been stated that in different planes, things manifest differently, so perhaps psychic powers manifest in the form of cellphones here.
…Or maybe they manifest as cellphones HERE. That would explain why there are so many of them.
well i guess their decision to use FutureWindow1998 was a bad idea… it is very laggy and likely failed to load the “invalid request” page…
Well, at least its been established that Heaven exists in this universe, so he’s safe hanging out with Pete and Dragon, and Cerb, and Kitsume….. poor Ponbon….
I doubt Ponbon’s actually dead, more like lost somewhere in the distant future.
Next Sunday A.D.?
And on top of this, Peanut has to figure out how to tell Tarot that he drank all the rootbeer in the cooler.
it seems its time to call the Doctor
With Captain Jack on the side?
I don’t think this comic could even pretend to maintain it’s rating if “Captain Jack” decided to show up.
It would if he was played by a sparrow instead!
That would be epic.
As long as we don’t have to deal with Gwen. Can it be the whole Torchwood crew before Gwen joined?
Why not just call up “Q”. I’m sure he has nothing to do.
well they could, but it’s a gamble how helpful he’d actually be
Bad idea. Q with nothing better to do has been shown to be the source of any number of existential problems.
For example, peanut and the gang could be turned into the cast for a real life robin hood with peanut as robin hood……..………..RICK, I HAVE AN IDEA.
“I’m sorry. I’m NOT a merry Bino!”
Maybe Bino would be Robin Hood. “Steal from the rich (them) and give to the poor (me)”. Clearly Bino would be the real brigand Robin Hood, rather than the romantised hero one.
Tarot or Grape as Maid Marion?
Although if Bino’s Robin I guess Sasha’s Marion…which is about how they did it on “When Things Were Rotten”.
Okay, if you didn’t go d’awww, you may do so now.
you know, Peanut has a VERY good point in panel 2
Has somebody actually noticed that her eyes are yellow through all this strip?
They could be green in the second panel when she’s yelling at him….her ear is blocking it from us to see.
Yes, they are. Whenever Tarot is actually “Tarot,” her eyes are yellow. But when she is channeling (I think that’s the right word) Spirit Dragon, her eyes are green. Here, she’s all Tarot.
There, put where it was supposed to be. I swear, technology hates me sometimes…
Oops! Peanut made a boo-boo.
Hope they have the best and cheapest universal calling cards! :3
Or a good rate with Event Verizon
That is bad. Horrible. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I for one applaud
*clap*
I for two applaud as well and offer you a membership in the Bennett Cerf Appreciation Society.
You need multiversal calling cards for this zone.
Yes, they are. Whenever Tarot is actually “Tarot,” her eyes are yellow. But when she is channeling (I think that’s the right word) Spirit Dragon, her eyes are green. Here, she’s all Tarot.
This wasn’t supposed to be here… 0.0 *blink* *blink*
Her eyes are green when she uses her powers, whether Dragon is involved or not.
Which hints at the possibility that Tarot has little to no actual ability herself, and that Dragon is responsible for it all.
Er, how do you figure?
it’s more likely that her abilities are somewhat genetic, but their roots lie in the empowering Dragon did of one of her ancestors.
See, I just figure that Tarot does have some powers, but without Dragon, her powers would be more like Sabrina’s. But when Dragon gets involved, Tarot gets the big crazy powers, like the projection thing.
Speaking of Sabrina…she once theatened to erase Fido from existance. Assuming she wasn’t bluffing, maybe she can call on her connections to do the reverse and get Ponbon back.
Mmmm, good point. I’m sure Ponbon will be back eventually; no character could be gone for long. =)
He shouldn’t have passed on the enjoyment prediction.
yep.
indeed
Poor Peanut. I hope he takes things a little more seriously in the future in Tarot’s case
automatically when she mentioned phonecalls i imagined the doctors phone ringing in the tardis.
Alt text: ‘At least it wasn’t the DAWN of time. You have no idea how many causality violations that would create.’ ‘Um . . . ‘
Didn’t I say he should have checked *which* end of time Ponbon wanted to go to?
Peanut and Tarot have their first on-panel fight, at least they sorted it out pretty quick. Happens to all couples.
Id be mad to if someone sent ponbon to the end of time
are you?
I wonder if Ponbon actually CAUSES the End of Time. Which means that if Peanut HADN’T sent him there, it might cause a paradox. If that’s the case, then Tarot should be thanking Peanut. Or maybe I’m just over analyzing this.
That sounds suspisciously like the weird time junk that Kitsune’s house rules for The Game disallow. And since Dragon is involved, albeit indirectly, Pete could claim that….
You know, it might juat be best if Ponbon is merely a tourist.
awww penut you silly brained person! errr dog
Who would you call in a situation like this?
Ghostbusters, The Doctor, or perhaps Twilight Sparkle (if all else fails).
Ah, of course!
Just don’t call Dischord/Q. All he does is cause more chaos
Jack Harkness and the Torchwood team might be able to help too
The concierge.
Renard Queenston. Because logic.
Wouldn’t surprise me
The Chronicler of the Ages
(From The Legend of Spyro Trilogy)
Does the end of time have an old man asleep standing up under a lamppost?
You never really see any love between these two…
This is cute.
Also, Ponbon is not lost.
If space and time can’t be bent once…
What’s stopping it from being bent again?
Because if you bent something too much, it might break.
And that could be pretty bad.
The delicate fabric of space and time…
ponbon will be back if i think my theory is correct he will be back in about 100,000,000,000,000,000 years when space time resets
Maybe Peanut just sent him to see the Great & Awe-Inspiring Egress! Step right up and see the Egress! From a far-off land, you’ll marvel at it’s magnificence! I mean, whenever I type “End of Time”, my iPhone always autocorrects to “Egress”.
I hope I’m not the only one who went “aww” at the third panel.
Doppy eared peanut is so cute
And vaugely Bino-ish…..was there a long lost puppy in the Bino/Fido/Joey litter by chance?
Well,…oops.
Never seen them fight on-panel before, either.
It suddenly dawns on me that the most hilarious way to resolve this would be to have “Gaspar” Pete fetch Ponbon out of the End of Time.
…which Pete might actually do if Dragon is willing to grant a concession or two, on account of how this could be construed as a “screw-up” by her avatar.
The most hilarious way would be for Spot to rescue him.
Most likely that’s all there is to this arc.
Would Spot rotate the Earth backwards to solve the problem?
Or this could turn out to be Grape helping Peanut with his next installment of “Spot (Superdog)” . Given the way Grape feels about Tarot, it could explain Tarot’s carelessness.
those are probably the calls she was referring to. one to pete, and ten thousand to all the people who he demands as servants.
darastrixen, Would that make her Pete’s Dragon?
I wondered if something bad would happen. X3
Why do I have the feeling that Tarot and Peanut are gonna have a lot more “screentime” together now that this strip is out?
I agree
NO PONBON, WHY?! D;
Ponbon’s agent charges too much for guest appearence fees.
Peanut’s such a supernatural n00b…
RIP Ponbon
I read the “Dancers at the End of Time” series… It IS ppossible to come back from…then…and it can be QUITE the cool trip! He’ll be fine….
There is a restaurant at the end of the universe, I’m sure he will stop to get something to eat. Something will be able to catch up to him there.
So tarot as an in at Milliways?
Traveling eh?
In Peanut’s defense, concepts of both space and time do tend get mixed up all the… all over… a whole… Wow, there’s no avoiding a pun with this, is there?
I don’t know if I’m the only one who noticed this bit…. If they have the power to send someone to the end of time, wouldn’t they have the power to jump back about 5 or 10 minutes to stop him from going in the first place?
Isn’t there some sort of law against that?
yea i bet that is also part of the “standard celestial policy” that they cannot meddle with the destiny of others. Sabrina hinted on this in “Not All Dogs”.
Lol I actually wasn’t expecting this.
Poor Peanut. He was told already. _Everything_ is a thing.
And as the closing London Olympic ceremonies proceed I’d like to award Dissension a gold metal for doing his best in trying to explain to everyone over the past five days the differences between Rick, Ponbon, Furrets and Danroos. You earned it
And griffins! Don’t forget the griffins!
Is this even discussing what happened in the comic?
Cute Peanut sad face :s
