Arc #39: We're Snowed In!

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 8:23 am

My hunch is that this is going to be like an Imaginate Arc of some sorts, except with snow and possibly either lots of TV or Peanut driving Grape nuts... in a loving way >.>

Would be funny if most of the arc was just showing us just how hard it is for Peanut to convince Grape to do something around the house on a snow day. I don't know why, but i get the feeling snow = Grape's excuse to be lazy <3

Yes. That is what will happen...

Yeah, I got your subtle hint there.
I hope this arc goes through all of the houses, just to see how all of the pets react to being stuck at home.

*high five*

Anyway, I think this arc is going to be one of my favorites. There's potential for both wacky antics and adorable situations. And Max isn't in the Sandwich household right now. :3

The irony is that since this comic was put out, I have been snowed in.
Well, not so much snow as a 1-inch thick coat of ice on all the roads.
But it has the same results. I can't go anywhere!

As for the comic itself, I expect generally silly antics and perhaps some romance.
Then again, Rick took a 4th of July party and turned it into an adventure to learn the origins of the cosmos.
So lets see where you take this conflict and setting Rick Griffin. Your move...

That's not irony.

I'm also (kind of) snowed in. Way to go, Rick, you freaking weather wizard you.

If it would please the Coalition of Correct Word Usage Enforcers, I will withdraw the word 'irony' from my previous statement.
Ironically would work better there anyways.

That'd be awesome. Most of the pets spend most of their time outside, especially Max and Bino.

Being snowed in would be annoying for Grape and Peanut, but not too much of a hindrance for pets who, as Grape pointed out, rarely leave the neighbourhood. I predict some other issue entering the equation.
snowed in = boredom and cabin fever.
snowed in + power cut= boredom, cabin fever and a lack of TV and video games.

I actually wouldn't mind that, to be honest. I'd love to see Peanut and Grape as children. Generally speaking, I'd love to see the majority of the cast as children; it'll make for some interesting backgrounds and possibly open up future arcs.

Grape is Rick's self-insertion?

And here I was so sure of the Great Kitsune

Every time I see snow in the comic I think, what is that like? Seriously. I would love for it to snow just once down here. Babylon Gardens is lucky. Oh, and knowing Grape and Peanuts pretend time antics, they might just open the door, grab a few buckets of snow, and have an indoor snowball fight. That is until the elder Sandwiches' stop it.

That is a ton of snow and I like the title for the strip its funny but in a lame way

Peanut got that from the mythbusters.
Also: Jeezum... talk about snowed in...

copper · Post by **copper** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 1:07 am

Duuuuuuuuuuuude. I can't even imagine that. I can't wait to see how this goes down...

Oh, and I thought Peanut had a huge cape on in the first panel when I first saw it!

This. ^

That some snow there. Alt text, funny.

Wow, that is a lot of snow. Good thing it doesn't follow cartoon physics, or else he'd suffocate. Only not, because no one suffocates in cartoons.

True...
Also: I would just keep jumping at it. Why? Because it's a wall of snow. Why wouldn't I?

Rick's been getting really good with expressions and body language lately, panel two Peanut is absolutely adorable!

O_o Now this is a big, fat amount of snow! They really are snowed in for sure.

Adzo · Post by **Adzo** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 11:13 am

Cartoon physics I know, but walking into a wall of compacted snow would hurt. Even when working by said altered physics, poor Peanut must be freezing.

Uhm, Peanut is a dog. He's not affected by the cold snow like humans. Look at his fur!

Well, yeah, but you have to take into account his nose. I mean, it was already cold to begin with...
