Poor Bino. I would hug him if I could.

Especially since he's a puppy in this strip

Bino's not really being that much of a jerk in this one. He's just enforcing a rule, albeit rudely.

Mon Jan 16, 2012 4:19 am

a rule he made. that is racist against cats.

I think this is only the second time we've seen her unsheath her claws.

Actually, I think it has been three times. The other two were when she was at the vet and when she threatened King for hitting on Tarot.

Third, but this is the first time she put use to them.

I don't like Bino but MAN.... Especially considering he's a puppy here, but even if he WASN'T....

I had actually completely forgotten that this -wasn't- just a story arc for when the Sandwiches adopted Grape. XD I saw them back in the living room in present day and my brain kinda freaked out for a second. Lol.

I'm curious what Grape's reaction will be to seeing Peanut spilling all of her secrets to Res while she's out of the room. I'm picturing her walking back into the room JUST as they come across something especially embarrassing, and Peanut and Res are cracking up on the couch while Grape just stares, red-faced. :p

Mon Jan 16, 2012 7:26 pm

I know this is the equivalent of "no girls allowed," and boys being jerks to girls deserve to be scratched too.

and yes, He's a bully, picking on King and Tiger just because of their names. at least most of his bullying is not physically harmful, but still. Anything Grape throws at him is fairly well deserved.

Later she upgrades to frying pans so this is just a scratch (hurr) compared to later attacks. But yeah, poor puppy Bino. Also I never really thought that he hates cats, the club is just like a bunch of boys putting up "NO GURLZ ALLOUD" sign on their clubhouse. Bino and Max act more like little brothers who enjoy teasing each other. My dislike of Bino comes more from how cruel he is to other dogs, especially Peanut and King.

Frying pans are funny. Scratches, especially to the face, are not.

Don't ask me to explain it.

Mon Jan 16, 2012 8:16 pm

is it that the more realistic an injury, the less funny it is?

Little did Grape know that Bino would be a much bigger jerk later on

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Mon Jan 16, 2012 8:32 pm

I've got a dog and a cat, and when the dog's being mean the cat doesn't refrain from giving his face a little scratch. It doesn't really leave a mark, it's just enough to tell the dog to back off.

I dunno, I liked this one because the pet behavior seemed so natural.
*shrug*

That is a very vague response on two completely different levels.

You know I was just thinking about this, how did Grape not know Max as a Kitten? He lives next door to her, since he lives with Bino. I can only think of two things either Max was owned by someone else in the neiborhood (or was a Stray) and given/adopted by Jeff later. Or Max was adopted not to long before the comic started (and Bino lives alone right now in the flashback) and his relationship with Sabrina was very very brief.

when was it established she didn't know him as a kitten?

I think I confused them not hanging out that much before dating as them not knowing each other? I don't really know what in the heck I was thinking, could have mixed stuff up with fanfiction as well. *goes over in the corner to feel like a moron and cries*

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 8:17 pm

Don't worry about it. =P

The history between Max and Grape seemed like he was the only cat she got to know. Whether they were friends or not is up to debate though, but i would guess they were unless she was always with Peanut and the dogs in general, which wouldn't be odd in her position considering she always hung around with Peanut.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 8:19 pm

To be fair, Grape didn't really know any cats up until recently, it's just that Max was the exception rather than the rule.

Yeah like that

Well considering she complained about not knowing that many cats its very likely that before the Yarnball they didn't really talk to each other at all, they where most likely at best people who talked and saw each other in passing only.

Probably did, but moreso than Marvin at least from the look of it.

I think it's because back then, Max was probably not a good choice for Grape back then to start getting to know. Considering he lived with Bino, she might've considered him a bad choice. Taht, and his sudden interest in her >.> but who knows? That's why i like to know more about him!

Puppy Fido has regular glasses interesting. I don't think he has ever worn them in the present time.

I must admit, Joey's method for getting treats is pretty good. I'm just glad it never backfired on him severely.
