Those are markings on Tarots face?
And here I was thinking that she was always blushing! :D

By the way, nice poem half-wit.
How long have you been making them? I've probably missed quite a few.

I like the new style. Tarot looks more unique than she did before.

Oh my God, Grape! I laughed so hard!

I know you get this a lot, but this was a great way to start the morning

And the water park can't be that much better than the ferrets'... can it?

Tarot, tell her it's a dangerous water park! An awesomely dangerous water park. Dangerously awesome. No? Not helping? Okay, I'll go now.

so is that mask on Tarot's face a permanent thing or are the spirit dragon's powers just melting her face off

EDIT: nevermind, I went back and read some earlier posts

face-melting it is

Im wondering how many times Grape is Going to say "I knew it!" or "You see!?"

Just a thought.

I am not precisely sure it's in the right place though. I'll probably fidget with it a LITTLE over a few strips.
Hmm -- I think The Far Side cartoonist Gary Larson said something to the effect of, "Once you draw Rocky the Flying Squirrel, you can never draw him again." The message being, if you think about it too much, it will never seem right, and you'll lose the spontaneity. Still, you seem comfortable enough with all the characters' evolution through the years...

All predictions aside, I'm mostly just happy that this arc looks like its gonna be a mostly Peanut and Grape-centered arc, a long one too. It's been a while since we've gotten one of these :)

Yeah I agree its looking like its either going to be Peanut and Grape centered or maybe even just Grape centered depending on if its a double date or if she just follows them.

It seems we are the only two. :?
Seriously, what's the big deal with her fur patron? I think it fits perfectly on her.
Look at this examples:

If you look carefully you'll see that it was there all this time.

Yup, the whole gang is going to the trip (I wonder if Kari is included).
Kari and Sabrina, sitting in a tree....
Well, that's not even near of what I was thinking but it could be a possibility, I guess.
Since this arc would include a water park, it could be the perfect time to fulfil Tarot's prediction about Sabrina almost getting drowned.
And about Kari, I was just thinking if it's safe to say that he's part of the gang now.

For what it's worth, I liked her 'mask' (for lack of a better term) when it was like this:

Also, "delineate"? I'm unaware of the dictionary definition of that word, and I'm definitely not aware of how you mean it in context.

On another note, is there still any question as to whether or not Grape likes waterparks? If that question remains open, I present Exhibit A for the defense of the position that she does enjoy them.

Note: the overruling opinion is in the last panel. Despite her rant in the first three panels, her decision to go again overrides her rant; i.e. "actions are more important than words."

Yes people pointed this out earlier in the other topic. Its likely nothing more then a small reference to Doctor Who and nothing more.

That would be a twist for sure, it would make the arc rather boring though because it would be basically Grape brooding the whole time.
But it could also be about Grape trying to ward off boredom while the others are doing awesome things. Though, I guess we'll find out where this is going to go soon enough. I still wonder if we'll find out what "Gallifrax" means (or is).
Since this arc would include a water park, it could be the perfect time to fulfil Tarot's prediction about Sabrina almost getting drowned.
Huh, now, there's a thought.

By the way, I think The Doctor should start a moving company. So long as the stuff fits through the doors, there shouldn't be any trouble fitting stuff inside. Tell me why, lol.
Then again, the doors shouldn't be a problem. The Doctor is good at teleportation.

The 3rd Doctor was able to bring the control console through the doors despite the console being wider than the doors. (Console is seen sans the rest of the TARDIS in 'Inferno'.

Can't wait for the part where Grape goes with them, returns to tell the tale to Max, who believes everything she says... only to think the one normal thing that happened during the trip was too normal to be real.

@Zealot: it's hard to quote a post when it's edited just before I click the "quote" button. (...petty annoyances...) also, Ich nein en sprechen zie Deutsch (hint: try Google Translate on that and translate into English)

Now that I'm done laughing tears, I have to admit I've never watched the classic Doctor Who episodes. I have them on my laptop, but about 6 months ago a friend of mine gave me them and I spent 2 month's worth of free time watching from the 9th Doctor on up. Granted I enjoyed (most of) it (I still wish poor David Tennant could've had a happier ending)

I love how Grape just goes up and demands of people... she just cannot take NO for an answer! :roll:

I swear, it would be great if it turns out that the comic follows Grape around, something weird and awesome happens to her, then Peanut comes back disappointed because the park was closed and his alt. universe self is like Bino. :lol:
