I've always been amused by the people who blow a gasket because they think the comic's gonna become a dark, broody affair with none of its characteristic silliness. This conversation comes up every time the "supernatural" elements come into play for some reason. Don't worry, the silly is going nowhere. Rick said so a few posts back, and why would he intentionally provide false or misleading information to us?

Also, lol, "Ricky." *giggles*

Eh, whatever Rick thinks is best, I guess.

So do you call it breaking the fourth wall if someone enters your dreams and then relates him/herself to you but then it was a dream?

You know what, I don't know.

And Peanut is, yet again, remarkably unphased by all of this. He's just too genre-savvy, it seems.

You know you've watched too much TV if you take all of what just happened in stride like Peanut did.

I don't know. I'm watching TV pretty much at all times when I'm home, but this would still freak me out a little. Maybe it's all the TV, books, and video games mixed together.

Yeah it was sorta winding back into gear this year . . . better than last year anyway. And WAY better than the year before that.

Yay, Res gets a mention! This is the end of the arc and it's probably not going to go anywhere, but oh well! A mention is almost an appearance! :3

I still want to know what the condition are to be "Linked" to somebody. Do they have to be dating/in love? Or just have a strong emotional connection to each other in other ways like being good friends? Or is it something else completely?

I think Res will do the same thing Grape did when he reads her saucy fanfiction. Spit take, I mean.

Peanut is just too nonchalant about that email. :lol:

I remember when i did that to Rick. :|

That was one unexpected ending, but very, VERY amusing! I noticed the artwork seems to remind me of when Peanut and Grape talked about Santa as well back here.

sooooo... who thinks Res will include some of her ideas into Pridelands?

Oh man, I laughed really hard at this comic xD Peanut is just awesome, how he says that with such a calm face!
Poor Grape... such things can be very embarrassing.

EDIT: Did Grape cut her whiskers or what? They're not there...

A very small portion of one is revealed in the Down On The Farm arc. Wait... I think it is in the Roadtrip one right before that, It is only a sentence or two, but she has remarkably good penmanship.

Cuz he loves Grape and wants her to be closer to Res. He might have thought that this way Res will give some credit to Grape's good writing.

You know I thought about something when this strip https://www.housepetscomic.com/2011/02/02/going-down/ was first posted but thought I was over thinking it. Now its bugging me again. Do you think its a bit strange that Sabrina said that Tarot and Dragon "Chose" Peanut I mean I don't know maybe its just me, but that wording seems a bit weird if she was talking about Peanut being Tarot boyfriend.

Truthfully its not so much the "Chose" part of it (but that bugs me a bit as well.) its more that Dragon helped her choose Peanut that's bugging me more. I mean why would Tarot need Dragons help in finding a boyfriend and what if she didn't love Peanut? Was Sabrina really talking about him being her boyfriend or was she talking about something else she chose him for? I know,I know I might be (and most likely am) just over thinking this a bit too much, but its bugging me again and I just wanted to get it out there.

I always thought that the dragon chose Peanut, really. In her first appearance, Tarot said that the spirits told her to go to Peanut, and Tarot basically said that she was there because Peanut needed her. I don't think that there is any real love between them. A strong affection, maybe, but no love. I don't know, that's just always been my interpretation of their relationship. I am always wrong on these things, but that is how I have always viewed it.

I see where you are coming from and I agree, but I think my agreement with that might be because we rarely ever see the two of them together let alone doing something romantic or being boyfriend/girlfriend all that much. And maybe that is the point, maybe we are suppose to take their relationship that way and that's why Rick never really shows them together.

I think it's that Peanut and Tarot are meant to be together, and Dragon revealed this to her. He needed her at that specific point in time to help him move beyond Grape, so that's when she chose to reveal herself to him.

Except that Tarot also said that she would leave Peanut if Grape ever developed feeling for him and if they were meant to be together Tarot would know that could not happen therefore have no reason to say that to Grape. Plus she hasn't really done that good of a job at getting him beyond Grape IMO. And again I bring back up the fact that Max&Grape's relationship has some good build up and Peanut&Tarot has like about zero build up at all, which as I said before might be the point and they are just really good friends and not In love with each other.
