I have this condition. you see If we talk for too long, I’ll forget how we started. Next time I see you, I’m not gonna remember this conversation. I don’t even know if I’ve met you before…I’ve told you this before, haven’t I?
Maybe Peanut will create a new villian based on Joey called The Artist who draws people and captures them, holding them hostage till they are paid the ransom of $10.
The date on the card isn’t quite right. The last comic in that arc was published on 11/14, not 4/14. Though if you look at that first 4 a bit slantwise, you could make it into an 11…
Which is why Spot (superdog) is a terrible comic forever. Every time they reboot it, they make it worse. That’s why I hate the Spot fandom now, even though I keep buying the comics and trolling their message boards. So they should reboot it so it’s just like Spot classic, but better, so I buy all the comics I already own again, but not really.
Judging by the picture, Peanut just realized that he killed off Cyborg in the kidnapping story, thereby causing some continuity problems in the fattening snacks arc.
Done. Rick went into the GATE of MYSTERY and added the tag before the comic was released. Now he just has to remember to tell his younger self to do the same over again.
so wait if he defeated the cyborg in the picture how was his memory erased by the cyborg; or is someone else behind this. this peice could be refering back to the deja vu scene and it could cause spot to retrace his steps in order to find out the culprit.
The innocent bystander who took the picture was only pretending to be a hostage, in reality they were an escapee from the Spooky Zone (a parallel dimension where criminals from Spot’s homeworld were sent to sit around for hundreds of years in a misty swamp playing banjos as punishment) who has sworn revenge on Spot’s family over an unpaid library fine. He discovered that Spot was on this planet after seeing a TV broadcast of one of Spot (professor’s) lectures. His super brain is able to recognize Spot even wearing glasses, and he uses tartan orphanite to erase Spot’s memories…
I wonder if they set up cameras in those old, abandoned warehouses so they can sell prints to passing by superheros, like they do on some rollar coasters (only $9.99 each!).
Like Deja Vu with the “Guys and Dolls” arc. Wonder what the Venn Diagram looks like — People who know “Memento”, people who know “Guys & Dolls”, and people who know both “Memento” and “G&D” and people familliar with neither. I fall into the ‘know both’ catagory.
In the original movie the main character has no memories after his wife died. He has a short term memory of about 10 minutes and takes poloriods and creates tattoos to remind himself of facts that the memory loss takes away.
You know, people make fun of his style, but you gotta give Peanut credit….he managed to draw the close-up of the picture exactly the same as the previous one, almost as if he had access to computers and scanners…
I have no idea what’s going on.
Rick is getting burned out, I think.
Or, there’s some really, really persistent fan that just had to know what happened there
More persistent than the King fandom?
This arc was actually more work than most other Spot arcs
Oh-oh, foreshadowing!
I am intrigued. Let us delve further. o,3,o
Spot can’t exactly punch his way out of this one.
ANGST!
If anything, he seems to be having a surplus of ideas, but that’s just my perspective.
123 Fake Street
Thats were the illegal fireworks were found!
Oh no!
The villans are going to send Stripe to space
Oh boy Retcons, always so fun!
Oh boy, it’s Memento. Can’t wait to see how it plays out!
It’s a good thing I ingrained that habit when I got that short term memory disorder . . . no wait, that was Memento. What was I thinking of?
Alt text ^^^
I think grape means the issue where Joey drew that cyborg for him Lol :3
going to stop staying up so late just to do this…anyone feel free to take over posting alt text for phoners
MMmmm… maybe Garrison would do it.
generally im on my phone so is unlikely that i can.
Sure, I’d be happy to.
Don’t believe his lies.
But remember Sammy Jankis
I have this condition. you see If we talk for too long, I’ll forget how we started. Next time I see you, I’m not gonna remember this conversation. I don’t even know if I’ve met you before…I’ve told you this before, haven’t I?
I wonder if this counts as déjà vu
It’s déjà vu all over again!
Hmmm I could track down the caller by taking the area codes an fancy stuff or use Google maps
Did they have Google Maps already when you had your accident?
MEMENTO !!!! MEMENTO !!! M-E-M-E-N-T-O !!!!!!!!
The Freshmaker!
no no, that’s meMentos
Do you eat them backwards?
you eat the colored ones backwards and the grey ones forward
Haha, Peanut has a fan who follows his work. X3
i can’t even remember the strip they are referencing now and i read the whole series through like a week ago
also apparently Peanut got back from Psycon. we never did learn how he got back
Body debit card.
More importantly…..did he make it home in time for dinner?
Click on the “The Cyborg” tag for a refresher…its just three strips.
Nice way of handling the situation, Peanut. Maybe Joey kept the page until Peanut paid for having him do that one-panel drawing?
Maybe Peanut will create a new villian based on Joey called The Artist who draws people and captures them, holding them hostage till they are paid the ransom of $10.
What a dastardly plan!
That actually sounds like a pretty good villain idea.
And how often have your fans bugged you about this, Rick?
Wonder if Peanut showed Spot to Res when he visited.
A++ seems somewhat low for a superhero of Spot’s statue….shouldn’t he be around A++++++?
That’s Spot’s rating for the lair and/or hostages.
Ah, I see…I thought it was Spot rating his own preformance.
People going back to the archives in 3… 2… 1…
incorrect. i began almost 2 hours ago
it*
It’s okay, just pull a Marvel/DC time warp stunt and you’ll be good.
Joey has it :3
yeah didn’t’ joey charge him twenty bucks for the drawing back… well i can’t remember when, but he did charge him
Here

Frankly I think Peanut would do well to try to work out a partnership with Joey to draw his comic.
YES!!!! but it would be costly
Gotta love that “…Uh-oh”.
Especially since that’s more or less what happens in real life XD.
Quick, Spot! Time to put those skills you learned at college (With a collie?) about reconstructing a lost weekend to use!
The date on the card isn’t quite right. The last comic in that arc was published on 11/14, not 4/14. Though if you look at that first 4 a bit slantwise, you could make it into an 11…
Unless….it’s from the future and the date is November 2014……
Or rather April 2014.
That’s the date Peanut drew it, not the date it happened.
Hah. Grape reviewed Peanut’s comic. That’s very cute.
But even she knows this can’t be good.
I say we just relaunch Spot (Superdog) with a brand new continuity. It worked for DC.
He already did that.
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2011/08/12/is-this-the-end-of-spot-again/
Well, look at the time… Let me reboot the universe again…
It worked for DC. Woah… Deja Vu.
Which is why Spot (superdog) is a terrible comic forever. Every time they reboot it, they make it worse. That’s why I hate the Spot fandom now, even though I keep buying the comics and trolling their message boards. So they should reboot it so it’s just like Spot classic, but better, so I buy all the comics I already own again, but not really.
…and Stripe was rescued by……oh, let’s say Moe.
Hmm. Has Peanut really lost the chapter, or did visiting Psycon with Tarot alter his past?
Well this is getting suspenseful.
Judging by the picture, Peanut just realized that he killed off Cyborg in the kidnapping story, thereby causing some continuity problems in the fattening snacks arc.
That or he realized that he never got around to finishing that arc, but that would hardly call for a retcon.
“Would rescue again”, well she’s your girlfriend, you better be willing to rescue her again!
Are double strips not being tagged as double strips anymore?
Apparently not.
Done. Rick went into the GATE of MYSTERY and added the tag before the comic was released. Now he just has to remember to tell his younger self to do the same over again.
So, after reading a precis of Memento – this could get really creepy, especially since he’d have to shave his fur off to find the tattoo.
Weird. I barely get what’s happening with Spot. XD
Just go and watch Memento, by Christopher Nolan … great movie
I always wondered what had happen to that cyborg/dog?
See? See? There’s more than one really persistent fan wondering!
so wait if he defeated the cyborg in the picture how was his memory erased by the cyborg; or is someone else behind this. this peice could be refering back to the deja vu scene and it could cause spot to retrace his steps in order to find out the culprit.
The innocent bystander who took the picture was only pretending to be a hostage, in reality they were an escapee from the Spooky Zone (a parallel dimension where criminals from Spot’s homeworld were sent to sit around for hundreds of years in a misty swamp playing banjos as punishment) who has sworn revenge on Spot’s family over an unpaid library fine.

His super brain is able to recognize Spot even wearing glasses, and he uses tartan orphanite to erase Spot’s memories…
Special Guest Star – Steve Martin as Dr Maxwell Bystander
I wonder if they set up cameras in those old, abandoned warehouses so they can sell prints to passing by superheros, like they do on some rollar coasters (only $9.99 each!).
i swear the comments confused me more than the story…and now i have NO idea whats going on
What has me confused is the whole Memento thing. Not a clue what that is, so I’ll need to look it up.
Like Deja Vu with the “Guys and Dolls” arc. Wonder what the Venn Diagram looks like — People who know “Memento”, people who know “Guys & Dolls”, and people who know both “Memento” and “G&D” and people familliar with neither. I fall into the ‘know both’ catagory.
that came out as complete jibberish to me but i’m shure if i knew what those two movies were about i would understand completely
In the original movie the main character has no memories after his wife died. He has a short term memory of about 10 minutes and takes poloriods and creates tattoos to remind himself of facts that the memory loss takes away.
Did Rick just make a Memento reference? Oh Snap!
Oh yeah he did ! But the question here is, is he going to make all the arc like this ?
Did Rick forget to color the pencil? O_O
It must be a white pen then
Heh, I didn’t even notice that.
I have one of those…
Not so weird actually
for me, at least.
Now the question is will Rick attempt to duplicate the b&w film noir look of the remembering scenes while still working in Peanut’s unique art style?
I love Grape’s face in the third panel: ~
Yup, its cute that she trully is concerned that the issue is missing/Peanut forgot to write it.
That, or she’s concerned this RetCon isn’t going to be pretty.
I sense long lost drama!
gotta love Spot´s super-happy smile
Love grapes expressions! And thats quite a few issues peanut has there.
I am… confused… to say the least.
Different theories as to what’s happenning.
Peanut is winging it…
You know, people make fun of his style, but you gotta give Peanut credit….he managed to draw the close-up of the picture exactly the same as the previous one, almost as if he had access to computers and scanners…
PS: cyborgs aren’t robots…
Oh hey look, I finally caught up. Again.
…darn.
