Arc #32: The Dog Days of Summer

You know, Tarot and the Spirit Dragon could be separate people, it's just that the Dragon chose Tarot as her "voice" or avatar or connection or somesuch. I don't think that Tarot is the Dragon...or, the Spirit Dragon could be exactly that: Tarot's inner soul or something, brought to a physical representation.

I think that Tarot, no matter what though, probably considers herself a Pomeranian first and foremost.

At this point I think either side is possible because neither side has that much evidence anyway. The only way we'll know is when Wednesdays update comes. But for right now I'm going with she is the Dragon.

I think everyone is just making far more complicated then it really is. And are not seeing whats in front of them and go OC with crazy thoughts on whats going on.

Well, perhaps you can enlighten us by telling us what's in front of us

Besides, it's fun making up theories.

I think tarot is a magical fudge that was supercharged by an overactive green lemon.

By the way this comic now has the longest comment thread ever at 635 (as of this post)

Post by **Dissension** » Tue Jul 06, 2010 10:26 pm

I like Pete's appearance in the second panel. He looks younger than usual. (I tend to like Pete's griffin appearance anyway [note avatar].)

On the comic in general: I think we all saw this coming. *laughs hysterically*

Barkeron · Post by **Barkeron** » Tue Jul 06, 2010 11:47 pm

644 comments? o.O Wow.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Jul 07, 2010 12:01 am

What.

I think my mind has been blown. I also think that if I'm interpreting the subtext correctly, this is quite possibly the strangest love dodecahedron I've ever seen. A magical griffin is dating a spiritual dragon who is channeled by a dog who is dating another dog who has a mildly reciprocated crush on a cat who is dating another cat... Or perhaps he called her "baby" as in the insult, not the term of endearment.

No words can describe the look on my face. So emote:

Wow the world is a D&D game (darn I like the chess motif stuff but at least this is different)

Draange · Post by **Draange** » Wed Jul 07, 2010 12:06 am

Bwua ha ha! Another awesome twist. Unexpected, funny, and totally fitting.

I guess the whole "game" thing is why Pete chose a chess piece to rename Joel.

What does that make me, an NPC

?

I believe this is the point where King wakes up at the party,
wasted from all the orange sodas he drank.

"It was all a dream... or was it?
*pulls out a D&D dice*"

I'm like pretty sure its an insult Sleet but that would be an epic twist if they were dating

sorry, i'm still trying to glue the pieces of my head together.

It would be funny if they were dating tho...funnny and even more confusing.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Wed Jul 07, 2010 12:12 am

So, I wonder what will be an accomplishing outcome for this. And what is it with everyone playing D&D in this world?

Clearly Rick is a D&D player obviously (or at least likes D&D a lot) Also I bet Joey and his friends would love to play this game

Why did Pete say "baby"?

I hope not, because if that were the case it would mean I was wearing shipping goggles without even knowing it! That is not a road down which I want to go. *shivers*

Because he was implying that the Dragon was whining about which edition to play

I was going to type that in all caps but then thought better of it

Something got lost in translation.

This is some crazy #%&@. Now at this point, if I was in King's possition and he is a "pawn" in this game of D&D/chess, I would finding a way to kill Pete, or I would take the easy way out.

As an insult to someone who is acting like a child...it's quite obvious. Also this is why I love this comic. I knew something like this was coming, we all did, but I would never of guessed that they were deciding the fate of all of reality with a D&D rip off...or is D&D the rip off? Anyways, I think this proves that Rick does an awesome job and we don't have to worry bout no Cerebreus Syndrome, a lack of comedy, or anything of that kind.

What I want to know is: Who is the DM? or in this case UM (Universe Master)

The only player characters in the game are Tarot and Pete the rest are not being played with its just that Pete and The Spirit Dragon are basically pretending so neither King or anyone else are "Pawns" in the game as I understand it the rest of everyone are basically NPCs with Free Will which has already been established to exist. (I hope I explained that right)

Edit: Fixed it up a bit

They're manipulating others, but they can only go so far before breaking the rules, hence why Pete can't just control Joel and make him do what he wants. But there is still one single question that has to be answered, what class and levels are Pete and Tarot?

Edit: Everyone else but Tarot and Pete are NPCs!
