Re: Arc 42: ???
Ok for one thing it has been established that Free Will exists in this universe which already means Fate is not absolute and most likely a guide line of sorts. So breaking the orb would not give King free will, he already has that, most likely it might cause havoc in his life or give him more control over his life in some way that we don't know of yet. If it gives him more control I can't think of any way that would lead him to becoming Petes Avatar.
Personally I think after some sort of fight the orb with either get broken or lost (possibly falling to earth for others or even King himself to use.) because I find it very unlikely Pete will get away to use it for what he wants. Even if he did (lets say Cerberus lets him go for some reason, because they dated at some point or something like that, or he wins the fight.) I highly doubt that Heaven is going to just let him keep the Fate ball for very long.

Re: Arc 42: ???
But also breaking King's ball with fate, it may cause that King become ...... one of the superbeings?

Re: Arc 42: ???
Fate is not incompatible with free will, just so you know.
I'm sure the cold hand of science will be able to overcome his magical powers
Re: Arc 42: ???
That's debatable. I suppose it depends on how absolute "fate" is.rickgriffin wrote:Fate is not incompatible with free will, just so you know.
Re: Arc 42: ???
Oh. I see what you mean. It's like this: I know what you'll do, but you do it because you want to do it by your own choice and not because I chose it for you, even thouch I know your every move.rickgriffin wrote:Fate is not incompatible with free will, just so you know.
Am I correct?

Re: Arc 42: ???
I know. some choices are inconsequential to your fate, there can be multiple paths to one specific fate, and fate could be something that just shows th probable outcomes of your different choices. fate has many interpretations.rickgriffin wrote:Fate is not incompatible with free will, just so you know.

Bringing theology into an already brilliant comic? You, sire, have just made my week. <3
'course, now I'm full of questions, especially with Cerberus being "employed" as a guard. Is there a hierarchy in the Housepets cosmos? Where do the superbeings fit into it? What role do they play? Are there other celestial beings, and how do they differ from the ones shown so far (especially regarding their abilities and place in the hierarchy)? What relationship do the superbeings have with other celestial creatures? With each other? With the animals and humans?
And why does no one ever give Orthrus any love? ;_;
Cerberus in Heaven....Domini canis? :3

Housepets! has actually fallen so far into Cerebus Syndrome that it's more comparable to Schindler's List.

Hey, I just noticed that in Monday's strip, Pete's last speech bubble covers up the Housepets website logo thing. Pete is such a jerk, he doesn't even want Housepets to get proper exposure!

Re: Arc 42: ???
Pete landed a good punch on Cerb, though. Jerk.
And there goes the orb with King's Fate. I wonder if the Kitsune will grab it.
And a million and one years is a rather odd number.
Panel 3 is probably the best Pete face we have seen yet.
Great update, I love this arc!

Wow, I only just now noticed just how muscular Pete is in the first panel. He can pack quite a punch with that arm!

Why do you all hate Pete? If not for him you would not have King! All you King of Hearts Fans have a debt to him! So support him in his fight!

Re: Arc 42: ???
King is a lovable jerk with a chance at redemption.
Pete is just a jerk who will never learn. He's been that way for Eons.

Re: Arc 42: ???
Oh, wow. IceKitsune predicted correctly.
Pete's scared expressions in this strip are awesome, particularly the first one. He knows he's screwed.

a relationship with a Cerberus?
that must have been tough, tree times the amount of caring needed.

Probably his actual meeting with Cerb is very nice if we try to compare it with meeting with King as superbeing

Re: Arc 42: ???
You're up to something Rick. Something epic and totally shocking to all of your viewers. The suspense is too much, I hope it lasts.
Re: Arc 42: ???
And this is the reason why i never question Rick's arcs =3
Man, either that is Pete screeching in pain on panel 6 or Cerberus really knows how to surf on people. i would go with surfing since it just seems much cooler.
Dibs Kitsune will wanna see him personally after this.
