yah but rick would probably do a "HA! fooled you!" stunt like he did with Max's ear

It's just so refreshing to see Peanut again.

What I want to know is if that NES belongs to Peanut already. Didn't he have one in his bedroom, in the "nothing to do" one-off? I know he had some system, the Mouse Trap board game, as well as many books and toys, but I never could quite figure out what the system was supposed to be.

As far as I can see, there is a DS, a WII and a DVD player in Peanut's room in this one.

Personally, I think he means he went to an actual garage sale, and literally picked it up. Garage-lifting if you will. But that might just be me and my love for puns. *shrug*

I think he either lost it in an accident or he got such bad frostbite one day that it just fell off. (Possibly in that huge snowstorm?)

Either way it's not very PG of Rick to do that in the comic.

But maybe in a chraracter guide? Some of those have little anecdotes from the character's lives, maybe Rick could use that as Jack's. Oh, and also, he should explain why Daisy can only greet others and not say anything else.

Rick, my man, you just tickled my fancy with the NES. :3

Well, I'm pretty sure Daisy is making fun of Daisy from Mario Kart.

This is exactly the kind of thing I would do if I were missing part of my body.

jokes about people without arms, always funny. (In all seriousness, it's the twists that give the humour...Rick's made the best twist I've ever seen to this joke )

Probably happened when he was hijacking a truck full of ramen noo--- never mind.

at least Peanut tried to correct himself. And I'm curious as to how he lost that arm, was it an accident or a 'discount' gone wrong.

Wow, that was some pretty dark humor, lol...

It's always possible Jack lost his arm while the pack was living in the wild. There, it could be anything.

<badpun>
I don't see any 'arm in the context of the joke; it's 'armless.
</badpun>

You just reminded me of this dead collaboration me and Regidar (for those who aren't in the know, he's FIMFiction's top commenter and a really funny guy) were doing a long time ago. It was called B.R.O.N.I.E.S. and it was about a secret agency of bronies that was supposed to take down a rival organization dedicated to defeating all le bronies.



Pure win.

I'm assuming both of those were supposed to be noodle incidents so it's not so weird that it reminded you of it.

Well I doubt that the Calvin and Hobbes fans didn't give the noodle incident any thought, and I seriously doubt that they didn't even attempt to think of a possible explanation of the noodle incident. Speculation isn't illegal, after all...

Edit: I failed at le commenting. Yay, I'm defensive yet again... :l Sorry Brent.

Not if he also buys a new connector from Jack. With all that junk, I'm sure he has one lying around somewhere.



Also, I wanna touch the stub too!

Why did Rick, I mean, uhm, Jack, call it a stub! It's a scar without any arm portion left.
Poor Jack.

I cannot tell you how many times I have seen an amputee and wanted to ask that question....

Poor Peanut. Jack is not helping with that face! Anyone would be put down by that face!

I like those little surprised triangles in the second panel. Not necessary, but a nice addition.

Happy 30th Anniversary NES!

I've always loved Peanut's "please don't kill me!" grin, usually while doing something cute with his paws as well.

he's had time to perfect it, living with Grape

Amen to that. Jack ain't got jack on Grape in that respect...

OH GOOD LORD PEANUT!

This is TOTALLY something I would do. Trip over my words and then fall on my proverbial face.
...I was like, "Peanut! Just stop talking!".
I feel for him.

Man, I completely forgot an important aspect of yesterday's comic: Peanut wants to help Jack.

I can see this being a recurring thing for Peanut in the future.

Peanut hanging around the wolves, and King...

I know, but I mean helping Jack sell his material. I could see, for example, Tarot coming by to check things out and warning people about where Jack gets his stuff from, only to be downright terrified of seeing Peanut selling a black crystal ball.

CRYSTAL BALL OF DOOM

It was used to seal away some ancient and terrible beast.

"How was I supposed to know that was Lucretia's spice rack? You even put a price tag on it!"

"She never took the original price tag off it!"

It's like 3 card monte, you always need a hapless patsy for if you get caught!

Have King and Peanut ever really had any interaction at all outside of crowd scenes and possibly All The King's Men? I figure Peanut is way too childish for grumpy corgis to get along with.

I think Grape's even had more dialogue with King than Peanut.

Nope, King and Peanut don't seem to have met "on camera" at all. Peanut's only interaction with King seems to have been Grape trying to convince Peanut that there was something suspicious about Pete:

Not quite...



They just never shared dialogue.
