Y'know, I've been wondering if The GODC's Christmas party will be shown this year. This Prideland's thing is good, but I want to see Bino go insane again. It's been a while since that happened.

It's been at least a year since we've seen Bino do something to deserve to loss of operation in his limbs.

Aww, Grape is crying. I feel bad for her. Even if she did most likely assault someone.

I was surprised her first reaction was assaulting Miss Auburn and not squeeing over Res, the true writer of Pridelands. I hope we get to see him/her again!

Also, good job to anyone who predicted this.

Presumably "us" is Res and Miss Auburn.

Calling a book publisher a fraud in public might not be the best cause of action.
And I got a feeling Res wants to live a semi-Normal life, so she asked her mom to take the credit.

I'm not surprised Grape did something like this she does like to jump to violence. Also did anyone else notice that Res said Alburn does the editing for us was it mentioned that she had another pet?

That's exactly what happened, Res is clearly not someone who wants or even knows how to handle attention. Plus the "I asked her to" line sort of gives that away.

That can't be, Sleet. Res said that she edits for us... That puts Ms. Auburn out of the us, doesn't it?

....I can't believe I was wrong about the coffee and cake.....

Huuuummm, although I am wonderin who this "us" is, I'm also very curios to know if this IS the end of the arc. Well, one thing is for sure, we'll be seeing Res again.

Well since Rick rarely ends an arc at the beginner of a week (though it has happened before if I remember correctly) I think we have two more comics coming for this arc since this is a good time to see what Peanut is doing plus deal with the aftermath of what happened at the mall.

I think we'll get comics leading up until the Christmas strip all as parts of this arc, then we'll get guest strips.

Grape will be famous now :) All TV stations will be showing how she assaults one of the most popular writer in the world.

Last panel made me feel upset. I always feel sorry for Grape when she cries.

Ouch. Poor Grape. In addition to her fury, she was thrown out by the same person she originally thought was the author :(

I wonder if her and miss sandwich are related? >_<

Being that she grew up on the series, it's difficult to imagine what she'll do at this point. i'm very anxious to see where this leads this Wednesday.

This proves speculation is not futile! I guess Res is going to be punished by his/her owner...

That's not a particularly reasonable assumption. The only thing we know about Miss Auburn is that she's a perfectionist. Res asked her to be his public face, after all, she didn't force it on him. We have seen no evidence that she mistreats him. There really is no need to demonize the woman.

Well, it'll create a lot of tabloid paranoia, that's for sure.

And Max is about to be physically chucked from the car when they get home.

But she's sooo demonizable. :twisted:
I can imagine Grape telling Peanut: "Miss Auburn is a LIE!"
Then peanut says: "I know."

I'm surprised that none of the other cats actually tried to stop her, but they were either to busy swooning over the signatures on their books or too weak to stop the rage.

I would guess as luck would have it they wern't there. probably already home by now.

And i've always viewed Miss Auburn as the good person so far. The only problem so far is, and humorously noted by Grape herself too, is she's being irrational about it.

Warning drinking irrational grape may cause irrational feelings. Don't use while driving or operating pieces of machinery. xD.


Anyways, looks like Res didn't want to be in the spotlight after all, or at least per say. Loved the alt text. :lol:

And Grape really did screwed up on this one. Poor Grape.

For the 'she does the editing for us' there are a couple possibilities:

1) Res and Miss Auburn cowrite the books and she is the editor for them both.

2) There's at least one pet who's older than Res -- or old enough to have helped write the books that Grape read as a kitten. Res might be old enough, but frankly he doesn't look much older than Grape. Even though pets in this universe seem to have remarkable talents at a very young age, I'm not sure that a kitten could write the Prideland books alone, even with a human editor to help.

Unless she has super strength, I doubt it. She likely made a scene and got thrown out herself.

I hope that much is cleared up in these last two strips. I'd like to see Res and Miss Auburn interact. I'd also like to find out if Res is a boy or a girl.

We may never find that out. I want to see Grape's reaction when sne gets home. Is it to cliche to expect her to rip up her Pridelands books.
