Exactly.
I still want to give a hug to Grape and Res...and the shipping mobile for Graperes has already started...that's not cool, guys.

Grape's just being emotional. I'm sure she's not intentionally snubbing Peanut.Considering her thinly-veiled self-insertion into his work, I think "Gapres" is the best name.

Also I might end up jumping ship eventually. Just a heads-up.

I think it is nice that Grape has a strong sense of justice.

And I see that I didn't win any bets. Oh well, that is what I get for betting on the long shot.

Res is a guy?
....
gosh dang it Rick! Now my story has false info.

Wow, I just noticed that Grape said "He" while referring to Res. I was right! Hehe, I KNEW Res was a guy... somehow. I just KNEW it!

^*Points to something I said a page ago*

Rrr...that sounded more sarcastic than I meant...but that 'he' was pretty subtle in there...even though I was actively looking for it.

But he acted like a girl. Or didn't act like a guy.
It was really hard to tell.

Well...Res never said himself/herself he/she was male. It was Grape who said Res was a guy. Do you remember when Peanut and Max thought Grape was male until she said she was female?

True--the Good Ol' Dogs Club even called Grape a "him" and she didn't correct them....

But I don't expect Rick to pull that same joke a second time in the comic....

uhh...

Uhh....

OH how my feminist friend would get on you for that

I don't particularly think he acted feminine. I think he acted in a manner that someone who is socially isolated and shy would act.

Well he didn't act exactly feminine, but not exactly masculine either.
But it could be the whole shy factor.

I thought Res was female because of a few things that Grape did. She ate the burrito, she talked openly about saucy fanfic to Res as an icebreaker, and she was very friendly toward Res. They just didn't match up with how I thought Grape would act toward a male cat. Res looked feminine to me. But I think the biggest factor was transferring Ms. Auburn's gender onto Res, the whole author thing going on.

Anywho, Res is male and none of that matters. I want to see the very end of this arc! So many things needing resolution!

AARRRRRGGHHH!

I just realized

The cats are in booster seats.

You're observation skills amaze me

I find it amusing that Max is in Peanut's seat too =P

Hmm? Where did that come from?... And why is it amusing?

Well, of course it makes sense. It is a message from Rick. It is representing Max taking the place of Peanut in grape's life. Peanut will soon be phased out of the comic, making Grape the biggest character. The comic will be renamed The Grapes of Wrath from then on, and will center around her life.

That is the insane logic of a troubled mind. Go with it.

I think This is my new second favorite arc now. It all depends on the ending, though.

the good ol' silver medal

thump

I feel bad at laughing at the "thump".

Stupidly over excitable Peanut and It looks like Max got Grape the new Pridelands book

Good ol' distractable Peanut.

THUMP.

What could possibly excite Peanut enough to make him drop Grape?

a knock at the door, apparently

HOW did I MISS that thump the first time I read the update...?

Even a knock at the door excites Peanut lol. Good old hyperactive. Well can't wait for Saturday's update.

Okay, it's official.
I wish to kick Peanut's fuzzy butt into next Christmas

*sigh* -_-

Why does Peanut have to be an artist instead of a romantic?

Are you saying artists can't love?

That hurts me lightwolf. You've hurt me real bad...

[sarcasm]This is exactly what I mean and it should be taken entirely within this context.[/sarcasm]

Actually artists get a lot of inspiration from their muse, which could be a romantic pursuit of said artist...so my comment wasn't really that well thought-out.
But to be fair, romanticism isn't exactly the same as love.

It's okay lightwolf, I forgive you.

But in all seriousness, this half comic is going to leave me pondering seriously for some time today

*nods in agreement*

*also nods*
I'm going to get no sleep, most likely, just sitting there pondering what Rick's gonna do next, who's going to win ATKM...all sorts of stuff.

I predict that Saturdays comic will go one of two ways:

1. Peanut will leave to give Grape and Max some alone time Max having brought over the New Pridelands Novel to give to Grape and the two of them will hug (possibly kiss) and then the comic will end.

2. Peanut will not leave being to excited to read the new Pridelands book which Max brought over to give to Grape. The three of them will read the book together for Christmas,although Max will do so begrudgingly because he wanted alone time with Grape.

...or maybe it's a copy of Pridelands signed and noted by Res, and Max was asked to deliver it?
