2014/03/07 - Witches Of The Sand

[SmileWolf]

LOL! This is awesome. Two funny things happening in the same strip at the same time. Double the fun! I think this is my favorite of the one-shots this week. Thanks for the laugh Rick!

[Sakkano]

As a soon to be chef, this one's got plenty appeal. She ate dolphin?

You, too? Neat!
You know, I thought dolphin was illegal, but I may be mistaking that for shark.

Well, it's not illegal to eat a dolphin as far as I know. Well, maybe the Ganges River Dolphin since it's endangered, but bottlenosed are culled and slaughtered in Japan at Taiji Cove. Now it *IS* illegal to serve dolphin and claim it's tuna. Shark is the same way. It's not illegal to eat them across the board. There are some endangered species that you should not catch, but Mako and Blacktip are considered fine.

[Crux]

ooh~ now I'm curios what really was in that sammich. and why did Tarot suddenly chase Karishad out?








Guessing the next strip would be somehow food related too?
Rick, stop making me want to eat more and more every day!

And Grape was all like:

And Grape was all like:

ಠ3ಠ

Dis is mah sandvich, nit yours Max.
ಠ3ಠ *Nom nom nom*

[Argent]

I'd like to see a reversed comic that shows the interaction between Tarot, Peanut and Karishad, with Grape and Max in the BG. :p

Yes, this!

[TheOne]

Hey look! It's a new addition to the family!

Hmm...what to name it...

It is...
Max+Grape Jelly...

*looks at sandwich* (the sandwich sandwich; not the Sandwich sandwich)
*there is no label*
*confused*

It is...
*sniffs*
*still unsure*

it is green...
I know...Mint Sandwich!

Or Salad, A.K.A Sally. Though that certainly doesn't look like a Salad Sandwich. =P

Yes, this!

I second that!

I second your seconding it!
I third it!

[Perfesser_Bear]

What did the fox say?!

...What did the fox say?

As near as I can tell,

"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"

"Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!"

"Wa-wa-way-do
Wub-wid-bid-dum-way-do
Wa-wa-way-do!"

I'm pretty sure Karishad just tickled Tarot's pads, which would enrage most of the dogs I've known.

Or maybe they're just playing 'Hide and Seek' and Peanut is 'It'.

[RatHead]

I wonder what prompted Tarot to chase Karishad...maybe he kept on talking when he shouldn't have!

I'm sure Karishad just made a terrible pun. Something very very naughtical. And Tarot fell for it, hook, line, and sinker.

I wonder if what's happening in the background has anything to do with This

Nice little Three Stooges act going on in the background!

Uh oh, looks like Grape is going to have to maul Max.... lovingly, of course.

Huh... why aren't Peanut, Tarot, and Karishad wearing scarves too? You'd think if the cats are cold, the dogs would be too...

Heh, Nice One!
Of Course!
Well, maybe they're in a warmer place, or in the sun… or...

Now I want to hear the story!

I have a feeling there's some weird connection between Max giving a sandwich to Sandwich while the other Sandwich is hanging out with his 'witch' girlfriend, sitting on a sand container :p.

(...also, hi there everyone)

What did Karisad Say to made Tarot that mad? Or rather, make her chase him?

I think he just tickled her paws...

Oh yeah.. hi there... might as well join this shin-dig!

What did the fox say?!

... I have been lurking this forum since it was first implemented and have felt no desire to get an account except for the sole purpose of pointing out this terrible, terrible joke...

WOW! The new forumites in one day! WELCOME all three of you!

Wait, what does 'odd food' have to do with the background? Or am I missing this...... Oh well!

Yup, I'm guessing Max gave her the sandwich, made that question and then looked at Peanut after her response because a Sandwich eating a sandwich would be like eat her own brother (also, a cat eating a dog). Although that was only in his mind while Grape thought he spiced up the sandwich.

Karishad, on the other hand, probably told Tarot something about her being a Sandwich. Tarot asked if that has something to do with being in a relationship with Peanut (whose last name is Sandwich) and then Kari pointed out the sand container below her and there's the joke. Peanut just facepalmed because of the terrible pun.

And welcome to the forum Mr. anonymous coyote..

Is it just me, or to Max and Grape look younger here?

…. Well OK then!
Heh, OK well It's Karishad, so nothing's out of range XD
indeed!

[deepskycyan]

I don't quite get this strip. Doesn't matter, still made me laugh my head off.

I actually want to try dolphin now. Hope that doesn't make me a bad person

[Frank]

What did Karisad Say?

oh, probably "Let's play hide and seek! Peanut, you're counting first"

This is the best one-off ever!

edit: ok, that would imply the other ones are inferior. There is quite some merit in simplicity

[Saturn381]

I wonder what Karishad said that made Tarot chase him. Also, Grape, I think it's best not to ask any questions.

[D-Rock]

There are some endangered species that you should not catch, but Mako and Blacktip are considered fine.

Huh, learn something new everyday. Not sure why they would claim it's tuna, though, is there a reason for it? Or is it to better sell it, like how dolphin-fish is marketed as mahi-mahi, even though it's not dolphin at all?

Knowing Max it's probably dusted with catnip

Special sandwiches! Sooner or later we'll have a bunch of cats in a circle.

You may have to explain that one.

It's a "That 70's Show" joke. The characters would often smoke cannabis, and while under the effects (a few times when they were sober, too) they would sit around in a circle and discuss whatever was going on. One episode introduced "special brownies" which had cannabis baked right into it, which turned out a bad idea since their parents got a hold of them. Odd seeing the parents in their own circle, really.

Yeah, that's about it.

[RandomGeekNamedBrent]

So I just remembered that the mochaccino burrito was a callback to this strip

hooray continuity

Which was a callback to this strip.

And a coffee shop in a bookstore! I used to hang out in one of those in college, it was called "The Upstart Crow".

[Cesco]

Alright, I haven't got the sense of the joke and the dialog doesn't sound that weird... BTW, Max and Grape are really cute here.
Is Karishad tickling Tarot's paw? What Karishad does in that above draw should be the same, and to both... He suriously likes to make jokes. And Peanut stays there not watching what happens? Maybe they're now playing hide and seek? Wondering what Karishad and Tarot do as friends when they are together (uhm...).

I wonder what Karishad said that made Tarot chase him. Also, Grape, I think it's best not to ask any questions.

When there's Karishad's hand (or paw, it's your choice), almost there's no reply to questions.

[Iceheart]

Maybe Tarot isn't chasing Karishad because of something he did do, but because of something he will do.

I was actually just giving you a chance to say it wasn't an against-the-rules drug reference.

[copper]

I hope it is not a Vegemite sandwich....

[CHAOKOCartoons]

Kari, you shouldn't boop peoples paws! No matter how soft they are!

[Hlaoroo]

I hope it is not a Vegemite sandwich....

If it is I'll take it! I love Vegemite!

[Welsh Halfwit]

What about Ozemite?

[Hlaoroo]

That'll do in a pinch.

[RatHead]

That'll do in a pinch.

*pinches Roo* How's That?

[Hedronal]

If I've learned something the 8 weeks I've been here in India is that when it comes to food, you don't ask what is it made of, you just eat it.

Maxwell: "So... There was this cool thing I found you could but online yesterday. You remember that one Nickelodeon game show...?"

Thank you for this!

Peanut butter jelly sandwich?

Would that be cannibalism?

Knowing Max it's probably dusted with catnip

And thus begins a reboot of the dropped arc, albeit mostly implied to avoid getting away from the strip's intended feel. Maybe it'd be something that goes on at the same time as another arc and is seen in the background of it.
