"How is this supposed to kill me? And what is this heart tied to a pin that says "PULL" supposed to be for?" *pull* *Earth shattering KABOOM*

Death by bear.

Also death by adorable.

Poor sap... I bearly knew him.

</badjokes>

*Gasp*

Are you serious? The alt text is Shakespeare reference.

One of his best - and most totally ridiculous - stage directions.

Number seven and number eight,
standing there in conference
and discussing their upcoming fate.
Where'd he get those cans from?
The mighty Fido has worked it out -
this means he's got the reference
so he's next without a doubt
and soon dispatched with aplomb.
On an island with just a house
a Bear is loosed on the residence
and stalks them all, their fears arouse
as it stalks just one and has some fun...
Four furry Indians, as scared as scared can be;
One hit a teddy trap and then there were three.

FIDO! LOOK OUT FOR THE BE--Oh, he dodged it. *phew* Nothing can get Fido... NOTHING!!!

I still can't imagine Fido being part in all this.

The most un-bear-able death there is.
*bricked*

Adorbs can be a killer to bear...

Wow, that care bear stare really does do something

I'll say that when I read the book, after hearing the poem, as soon as I read a single thing to do with a bear, I figured that that was going to be used to kill the 8th one. Spoiler in the spoiler, it was.

One of the worst things you can do in these situations is confess to knowing what's really going on, that either makes you the killer or soon to die. Sometimes you can live longer, but then nobody can know that you know something until everyone knows that, and what the something actually is, but to work that requires a larger group that aren't the killer(s).

.....well, it wasn't REALLY a bear, but it was still quite grisly....

I didn't give too much away, did I?

Stuffed out by a Care bear. What a way to go...

*gasp* this is almost too much to bear! *Bricked*

...also *beared*
But... Only Peanut Lombard could have thrown that bear...

There is Vera, too...

But Grizzlys ARE bears!



Unless one of the others didn't actually die. Or came back to life....
Now presenting Ten Little Indians- ZOMBIE EDITION!

Oh the tension, I can't 'bear' it from that adorable cuddly stuffed bear.
IT'S SO FLUFFAH

I did wonder at first whether Fido would want to be part of this, but it makes sense since Sabrina is part of the troupe, and with their relationship out, I suspect that he has found Peanut one of the few dogs who wouldn't care about it. Indeed, Peanut would understand his feelings all too well.

Someone needs to draw a friendship tree of all the characters of HS, starting with Grape and Peanut. I think it would be incredibly interesting to see all the convoluted relationships graphically.

You'd have to start with Fido and the Good old dogs club... but then there's the grape arc...
<starts doodling absentmindedly>

Too bad this didn't come out on Last Friday, Death by Care Bear would have been ironic happening on Valentine Day. Although judging from the bear's expression I guess it's a Don't Care Bear.

What a cute bear.

"No time to explain" ?

Gasp! He must be in a hurry...to arrange Fido's murder!

So Peanut's the killer! Rite?
On second thoughts, Peanut probably isn't. Murder mysteries are NEVER that straightforward.

That is an interesting idea, but it had better be easy to edit, because it'll change often. We still don't know what all the fallout will be from Fido's revelation - is he still top GO Dog?

(SmileWolf looks pensive, tapping a blunt-clawed fingertip on his furry chin, until a smile slowly crawls across his face.). Or, we can make a forum game of it...

EDIT: The Character Relationship Game, now in the Forum Games area. Thanks to Phlosioneer for inspiring the idea.

Honestly, we really don't see a lot of characters interacting most of the time. Not that they never hang out together, but not enough for us to really get an idea of if they're friends or not, they usually hang out in their own groups. Grape, Peanut, and their friends; Tiger, Marvin, Zach, and the annoying woodland creatures; King, Fox (and now Bailey but only recently) who mostly interact with both Bino/GoD Club and the Cosmic Jerks; the K-9 unit; the Miltons (mostly Keene) who randomly harass all of the above. And Zoidberg the zoo animals!

I kind of like seeing new people hanging out with Peanut and Grape's group. We know Peanut and Fido were friends but haven't seen them hang out too much. I don't think we've ever seen King or Bailey with most of the main cast outside of crowd scenes, and I don't think King's ever met Peanut at all. I'd like to see King make more friends.

Hmm... King's the murderer!

Fido should be grateful this isn't a low budget Imaginate. In the low budget version the "bear" is just a beanbag with baer bear written on it.

King and Peanut have met (Though Peanut greeting him as "Hey new dog.." at the time). Apparently they got to know each other afterward as he (along with Grape) got an invitation to the wedding. And Bailey is in this thread (or was, as she was a early victim). And if Bailey is in the party... King could play a Truman Capote-esque role at the very end (yes, I am mixing murder movie references, but you get my point...). I mean, Truman Capote and King are both short little guys, right?

Teddy Bear is my new favorite character.

I think you're thinking of Joey. The only time I think King and Peanut have been in the same strip is the Dogs Playing Poker one. I get the feeling the wedding was just "Keene invited all the pets in the neighborhood", King is scared of the K9 unit and I doubt he'd think to invite them. Yeltsin is there and he and Boris are Bino's goons. So not friends just "all our neighbors" and some like Bino probably declined to go. I would like to see King hang out with more people!

I'm actually surprised Fido and Bailey are doing so well without breaking character, since they're new to Imaginating.

Who keeps bricks on them these days?
seriously it gets really hard to bear...
No wait!
*bricked*

Fido deserved it, he spoilert his own Death.
Actually I would like to see how King or Ralph would act in an Imaginate Arc since the both of them are the most mature guys.....it would be funny. Maybe Ralph is more childish as we think.

Indeed,the figure saw on the beach by Peanut was the doctor, who's now lying dead... Right, the judge's death is the less clear so far, guess why. Watch out, Fido, now it's you who's going to die because of a bear, just a slightly different kind of it.











Please use spoilers next time if you are revealing much.

Yup yer right, my mistake, that was Joey. The only time they were in the same strip before the poker one was the strip where King and Pete astral jump into Babylon Gardens, and thats a segue strip - they weren't together in the same place. That actually seemed to mark the shift away from Grape & Peanut as central characters and towards King (with Pete and later Bailey).

Is it just me or is Fido looking distinctly muscular in panel two?

Even more so than usual.

Who's the murder ? Grape , Peanut or Fido ? Or one of the already murdered person ?
