I wonder how leasing works for shops that just switch in and out of reality in the same spot?

Yeah, we’re never watching this movie are we.
Moosenebula : Starbucks. Ahh, that’s funny. (You know in Kaeryrn it’s stil called Starbucks but there’s a picture of a buck on the logo)
I love how self aware they are about the crazy things that happen to them. It makes you wonder if they ever lie away at night thinking, “Why does this keep happening to me? Where did it all go wrong?”

Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
I see Grape's leash rematerialized along with the coffee shop (and more magic(k)al smoke). Is there a pun in "Moose Nebula" that I'm not seeing. This isn't even the silliest coffee shop in this town, considering there's Whoodathunkit in the mall bookstore. Anyone up for some hunted coffee?
The cape comes with the promotion.

This strip made me think of this https://youtu.be/bjgK6McgpaQ
There is a part of me that wants this to be foreshadowing for something...anything but I know better than to get my hopes up.

Normal, for Peanut, is silly,
even with teleporting shops.
You just get used to one
and then? Well, off it pops.
He’s not after a brew-
now it might tempt Grape -
as she tries the beans
and Peanut snaffles a crêpe.
Run home and try the disc
too see what’s on your fate.
Bring Max and Tarot round.
Make it a double date.

Fenrir, don’t take this as me being rude, but I think the joke of this comic is kinda meant to poke a little bit of fun at people that think that was all foreshadowing to something bigger.fenrirblack wrote:This strip made me think of this https://youtu.be/bjgK6McgpaQ

Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
A part of me wouldn’t be surprised if the next one is the only one that does actual foreshadowing. It’s actually mildly unclear what Demon is doing now and he was one of the best additions of that really long arc, it be a shame if Rick just forgets about him/her.

Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
If I had to guess, based on the pattern of the last ten years, we might see it again in the last chapter of year 11 along with any other elements that form what I assume would be a longer story thread that spans the next few years. But then again who knows. Rick is unpredictable, if not for the sake of unpredictablity then just because he’s winging this entire series.Gameb18oy wrote:A part of me wouldn’t be surprised if the next one is the only one that does actual foreshadowing.

You know it would be cool if the DVD did actually lead to the introduction of some new zany interdimensional beings characters. You know for kicks and giggles. They just started hanging out and whatever being it is just started living with them. The DVD is really a doorway to another dimension and something crawls out of the TV “The Ring” style.
What if It really is foreshadowing but you think it’s not because it’s played off as a joke so to trick the reader in assuming that it’s meaningless when in reality it sets up a major development in the overall story.
Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
Do extraterrestrial coffee shops cast a foreshadow? Maybe Moosenebulae is a cosmic cousin to Caribou Coffee...

I guess the fantasy multiverse nonsense is starting to faze him after all.

Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
See, that is just the Mysterious Shop lot for Babylon Gardens. That coffee shop is the mysterious shop for the next group of Pets to come down the street. Possibly Fox and another K-9. They meet the Celestial Huskies and hilarity ensues. Unfortunately for us it happens "off camera" as we are involved in the Peanut/Grape arc. We just have to accept that other pets are having other adventures while we are watching the A storyline.
And I have to wonder if Rick is playing a Choose Your Own Adventure with us, reading the comments and seeing what the story would be like based solely on the audience suggestions.

Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
Not saying you’re wrong, but I’d prefer Rick not add more characters. While they usually are fairly decent additions (minus that one dog I dare people to name who was just in the one arc with the ghost in it) I think they often lead to less time with the main cast. I think it be a hard task to find people who disagree on Max really needing an arc in the future to develop him soon.fenrirblack wrote:If I had to guess, based on the pattern of the last ten years, we might see it again in the last chapter of year 11 along with any other elements that form what I assume would be a longer story thread that spans the next few years.

Nebulas are exploded stars and moose are bigger than bucks - by this logic, Moosenebula transcends Starbucks. Way to go, Rick!

Man, those coffee shops will just pop up in any open space, won't they?

Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
I still feel like they should be concerned by the fact that a random coffee shop just popped up out of nowhere. When things just materialize into existence, its usually a bad thing. What’s to stop that shop from being the harbinger of alien invaders?
Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
Terrance was at King's wedding. So he's probably over having a motorboat materialize out of nowhere on top of him.
Like Starbucks?fenrirblack wrote:What’s to stop that shop from being the harbinger of alien invaders?

Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
Counterpoint, considering both Peanut and Grape are so used to this stuff, that Grape even says she’s actually surprised this hasn’t happened sooner, and so far there have only been one time so far that the weird thing came close to ending the world, why should they assume this one is more dangerous than the others?fenrirblack wrote:I still feel like they should be concerned by the fact that a random coffee shop just popped up out of nowhere.

Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
It’s not about being more dangerous than the other times. Plus they did not do a lot to stop the end of the world both at the temple and in Australia. At most they’re the vehicles that led the actual saviors to their destinations. Res and King were the heroes along with Tarot I guess. Anyway, that’s not point. The point is just because you get used to weird stuff happening doesn’t mean you can slack off. If said coffee shop is dangerous, even a liitle more dangerous than Starbucks, it should be handled delicately and with caution. If nothing else it’s worth investigating to determine if it is a threat. But on the other hand, it isn’t their responsibility to deal with this stuff so at most maybe they should tell someone and let them deal with it.Gameb18oy wrote:Counterpoint, considering both Peanut and Grape are so used to this stuff, that Grape even says she’s actually surprised this hasn’t happened sooner, and so far there have only been one time so far that the weird thing came close to ending the world, why should they assume this one is more dangerous than the others?fenrirblack wrote:I still feel like they should be concerned by the fact that a random coffee shop just popped up out of nowhere.

Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
But, then, the video renting shop where they have been few moments ago, just disappeared? And now, there's a coffee shop instead of that. What a mystery... Well, Peanut, you and Grape have already experienced magic stuff in past, this can well be a new one. It's all getting weird now, looking ahead for where this is going on.

Re: 2018/10/29 - Not In A Bookstore
Has anyone ever heard of "pop-up restaurants"? "These restaurants often operate from a private home, former factory or similar space, and during festivals." So I guess one could assume that the coffee shop is not supernatural but just as dangerous for a completely different set of reasons.

Not being a native English speaker, I couldn't perfectly understand this line's meaning, even after checking a dictionary.
I thought the meaning of "proxy" suited more the concept of avatars for Pete and Dragon. That's why I was confused why Grape used this term, since she and Peanut were never avatars.

Wouldn’t be too much... but then we are both talking over the internet, so it’s an impossibility. Glad I didn’t upset you though, glad to hear that.
I think it’s meant to be like shorthand for saying they were present for that stuff, but I’ll admit it’s not a word I hear used much, so I’m not certain myself
