I like the faces in this one. And I didn't know Peanut was left-handed. And yet I vaguely remember noticing he was left-handed before. I probably just forgot.

I guess this will just be cats this time. And maybe Joey.

Well, you know what they say about rabid fans...and Grape fits that to a T.

I LOVE the fourth panel expressions (especially Peanut's)! Especially since it's the OPPOSITE of what you might expect....

But why is there a question mark after "my life" in the first panel? Is that on purpose or is it a mistake?

This is getting weird. Did the faces change a bit here, or am I just imagining things?

Peanut is going to a Secret Santa, huh? Wonder who he got?

I think it's just supposed to represent the way she says it, with a rise and a pause. As if she's asking about her life and the answering herself. Spoken grammar is weird.

That's why I asked, because I took that possibility into account.

But man.... I get obsessed with stuff, but never to THAT degree....

D'awwwww, look at those two, strollin' and talkin' like they wuz middle school kids on a Nickelodeon show. :3

Which actually reinforces Peanut's whole crush thing.

Just noticed--why is there a SKULL coming from Peanut's...whatever it is? (What IS that, anyway? )

I love Peanuts face in the last panel its just great. I just love Grape hero worrship and her little fantasy there.



He just died in the game and its a DS

I just noticed Peanut died in his video game in the last panel. I guess making Grape stop being insane is a high priority.

"Aww, I got dead again!"

Awww man, that freakin' duck swallowed all my pixels!

(Both my pixels.)

<---- Is not a gamer.

I guess I assumed he was writing something, like having to do with the Secret Santa thing....

Once I really LOOKED at it, though, I assumed it was some sort of hand-held gaming console but didn't know which one it was....

"Aww man Brawler's using a Justin Beiber show avi"
Anyway, Peanut 4 panel. Yes.

Meh. Point was gotten.

I'm afraid Grape is going to be disappointed when she discovers that Miss Auburn is mere flesh and blood

and possibly less friendly than she imagines

I want to know what species she is. Is she a human? A cat? What if she's a dog?! Plot twist!

Silly Sinder. That would be cliched

Five bucks says Grape causes the car wreck

Yeah I suspect she is going to be quite a snobby jerk.

Edit: on second thought Teh Brawler might be right it could be too cliched



It could be a human as a front for a Animal writer it would be great if that writer was a Dog it would be good twist.

all of this

Panel 2 Grape = nicely done =P

So Peanut's going to a Secret Santa club... It would be ironic if there was a draw and Peanut was picked by Bino again.



Whether there's going to be a heart wrenching moment for this christmas or not, i'm somewhat also taking a small guess she's something like Celia.

Food for Thought: i already picture her with the voice of Mom from Mom Corp from Futurama.

No it wouldn't.

[/cold]

*hugs*

Curse him and his evil sister, Iriny!

sooooooooooooo, Grape is going to meet Rick?

Peanut is being Grape's voice of reason?! He's saner in this comic than her! That's a huge twist already....

That's a karmic pleasure Peanut will be allowed to, during his round for the Secret Santa.

I see a skull. Does that mean "aww, Grape, you made me die again!" or did his DS just kick the bucket?

But Sleet!

Perhaps he's ambidextrous. Or he just plays his DS with his left hand.

Or, perhaps Rick somehow, screwed up?


...


No that's just insane.

Heheh, I like this strip. Great facial expressions, and great joke.

Cake is still a must

This. ^ Yeah. Peanut is a lot more calmer in this strip

<singsong voice> Somebody's STARSTRUUUUUUUUUCK!!

Wonder if we'll get to see any of the Secret Santa thing again? I do NOT envy Bino if his Secret Santa is Tiger or King. Ideally, Bino should really be given Daisy as his Secret Santa.

Santa: Hi, I'm Daisy!

Man, that would be awesome.

I think it's good that Peanut is the voice of reason sometimes. Too many webcomics just star the crazy one and the voice of reason.

I agree.
The characters are all balanced in the way they act,
which makes it very realistic.
As realistic as talking animals can get anyway.

If people actually pay attention to how others act, friends DO swap roles like that. I realized this while I was drawing the comic, and that when I've had Peanut express 'annoyance' before (like Grape would) it rang false, so I changed it to 'amused'.
