In which case, what's old is new again?

Mrs. Sandwich doesn't have a heart. How can she say "No" to Peanut? Besides, I bet the kibble is really cheap, too.

It looks as though, even if he did eat it, he would probably spit it out. This would be plot #2

Something about parenting
because if she would say "sure" to much this might happen to Peanut

Fair point. More than fair. I would hate that.

I had the same situation with my parents, yet I always managed to get them to get it anyway.

Its called Parenting. Not always fair but you know how it is.

Mrs. Sandwich is becoming more and more like a parent to Peanut and Grape, even if she doesn't realize it... which I'm sure she does.

What else would she be? All pet owners are basically parents.

In some cases, yes, but I don't think Sasha's owner has the same mindset.

He's also an alcoholic. So he's not always in his mind, let alone in the right mindset to act like a parent.

BunchaCrunch · Post by **BunchaCrunch** » Wed Nov 10, 2010 7:32 pm

Just wanted to input, and I doubt anyone else has noticed- is Peanut growing up? I mean, look at the very first comics. He and Grape are playing like Fourth-Graders, Imagination and Pretend, etc. And now Grape has a boyfriend, Peanut's looking bigger and sounding a bit more like a regular teenager.

It's some nice development.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Nov 10, 2010 7:43 pm

Are you implying that they don't still play pretend? There was a whole arc dedicated to it fairly recently! And if he's taller, it's probably just a change in art style.

NO.

It's kinda like in real life. Children that have alcoholic parents are not treated well. Same may go for Sasha's dad.

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 3:55 am

Perhaps they really are growing up, but not as much as to stop playing pretend and other silly games, but still enough to be a bit interested into relationships.

That's right, grandma, you eat EVERYTHING from a tube.

I almost posted that, but I decided not to because I thought I'd be yelled at for being off topic.

Funny how things work. X3

I love how his pupils completely disappear in the last panel. He's probably been around Tarot too much. X3

Same here, except I was the squirrel, or bird/something in your case.

No, he died of a heart attack, unless his heart is beating with "4-F" embedded in it...

Uugh, I hate when that happens. My cat used to do this every time it wanted in my room or in the house. Out of nowhere, I would hear a loud thump at the door. I think that that cat was trying to kill me...

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Nov 12, 2010 5:32 am

poor Peanut will never read books in the same light anymore. Or Windows.

Took me awhile to notice too, but he does have pupils on the last panel there looking towards the window.
