w00t, new Spot comic! But, saying that, I really don't know how Spot is going to save his (most definately not a cat) girlfriend. I can see one of three things happening though:
1. She becomes Spot's Gwen Stacy, introducing (needless) angst and (un)nessacary character developement.
2. It turns out the "orphan" used all of his bullets when shooting at spot.
3. Or, she gets shot, and Spot becomes so enraged he flies around the planet (is it earth?) so fast time goes backwards.

Notrly, it's just that it's a cat and it's head is in the shape of a piece on a fence, while dogs have Somewhat box faces.
I thought the new strip was pretty fine. A nice change from that insanely head bustling superdog arch.
I'm still wondering how PETA works in this...How exactly do they liberate animals, I mean Jesus Christ, they have it made, What is it like? Child services?
Also my brother asked where the joke is at. I believe this to be a suitable question.

Not really man, I mean come on you know you can over power someone... you know you can over power them. Don't need to straight up and deck them in the face until you see them out.

To answer your bother's question, you should look at the title of the comic! And maybe PETA is like social workers for pets? Who knows, only the rest of the arc will tell.
Come to think of it, I've never really researched PETA before. All I ever hear are negative biases. While that does say something on it's own, I have some things to look up...
"Social workers for pets" would be the ASPCA (American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). They're the ones who handle cases of animal mistreatment and try to prevent things like puppy mills, dogfighting, etc.
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is more of a lunatic fringe group whose objectives vary widely depending upon whom you ask. From what I understand, they advocate equal rights for animals, meaning that they aren't to be used for anything, including labor or food, and should simply be left free to roam the open plains. They're the folks who dump buckets of blood on people who wear animal fur; not too long ago, they made a Flash mock-up of a game that attacked Cooking Mama because her recipes included meat. Stuff like that is why members of PETA have a reputation for being nutbars.
PETA says they want "equal-rights" but really they treat animals so much better than people. It's ridiculous. A PETA member has come to my house before and told me my dog was unhappy. The reason my dog was unhappy of course was there was a stranger trying to pick him up and take him out of the house against his will.
My question is how can PETA exist in a world where the animals can speak and clearly say they're glad about something. What is there to argue? Or are they like a power-dad who wants their son to win at everything and never listens to the son?

Yeah. That also makes no sense, if you can say you're happy then why would they need to be there. Unless being abused. For some reason I got a feeling daisy or whoever it was in going to be in this arch.
I always imagined... not all of the creatures can be sentient? I mean look at the Thanksgiving comic. I'm sure there would also be cows, I'm thinking mostly livestock, considering how stupid they are in teal life probably are mostly the same.

i dont know about you but my life is not teal. any way, i disagree with the "live stock is stupid" thing, sure some live stock is pretty stupid. but most live stock you think of when some one says "farm" are smarter then you'd think. Pigs for example,
people say they are smart as three year old humans (or at least smart as dogs). plus doesn't the zoo story line kinda make it seem like EVERY creature is intelligent? i might be reading into it but..... any way... good comic Griff.
Note - this is the first time Daisy has been seen in the new style. She really doesn't really look too far off their earlier incarnations, but to be fair she did have the nose before the new style even came in. U:
Gleek, I caught myself looking through the archive for avatar material. What is wrong with me?
(Also note that PETA member A has a fairly avatar-worthy face.)

That, or it's a dog park y'know.
I mean when I go to some place to have fun, I usually have fun, not mope around being sadistic and lonely.
Well, I was really wondering if they still caught balls in their mouths. I don't even know where you got mopey and lonely from that.... but all of it is really a moot point in the grand scheme of things.

...Kay, I read your post entirely different than. Also that's a Frisbee.
I see big problems arising soon. I wonder which character we get to say good-bye to, at least temporarily.
