Well it could be that "The Cat" and "The Dog" are some sort of cosmic shorthand. Grape and Peanut are pretty major characters in the strip, it would not be unreasonable to assume that they have some kind of importance in the cosmic scale. Perhaps when the temple got moved the Great Kitsune adjusted things so that everything that should have existed in Babylon now exist in Babylon Gardens which includes a placeholder for "The Cat" and "The Dog". Remember, part of the rules included a limit of an avatar to either a cat or a dog, so there could have been some reason to have a significant cat character and a significant dog character. Who these characters were probably altered when the temple changed places.IceKitsune wrote:But how could they be? We know for a fact that Pete's temple was moved to Babylon Gardens so we know it was originally some where else and since its only the Garden part on the map that looks hastily scrawled on and underlined instead of neat like the Babylon part then we can assume that the game originally was going to take place where Babylon once was meaning there is no way Peanut and Grape have any significance on the game other then being potential Avatars which has already passed because Dragon has one already, Kitsune most likely does as well or he/she doesn't have one at all, and neither trust Pete so they won't be his.Sinder wrote:How do you know? We have only a vague idea what the rules of the game are, and no idea what the win condition is; it could very well be anything. What's particularly telling is that Pete refers to Grape and Peanut as "The Cat" and "The Dog" respectively, when there are plenty of both cats and dogs in the neighborhood, which suggests that they hold a particular significance in the game itself.IceKitsune wrote:First things first Welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy it here. Now on to your question. No I really doubt it because as I said in the post above the U&U Game was not meant to take place in Babylon Gardens originally so Peanut would have nothing to do with the Game goal at all.
As for him referring to them as The Cat and The Dog I think your putting to much stock in his word choice he could have been referring to them dismissively as unimportant hence why he didn't use their real names even though he knew them. Now its possible when Pete was moved to BG they changed the Goal of the game but I find that very unlikely.
Also, it seems that Pete is somehow unaware of who (or what) actually moved the temple or he wouldn't be accusing Dragon. He probably ought to find out about that.

Ok that was funny but really I want to know how much longer is this arc going to be? I like King and everything but there can't be much left to tell about this arc. I'm guessing its going to end on Friday next week. (as to have a week of one offs)
His tail! Somebody stole King's tail!
. It just struck me as a bit empty. I know corgis have stumpys but I didn't know how visible it would normally be.
