Housepets!

Well she is clearly going to follow them, or its going to be a double date; one of the two.

I'm calling it now: Grape does stay home and the arc follows her instead of Peanut and Tarot.

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.

Also you know the last time this kind of stuff was brought up to Grape (at the end of We're Snowed In!) she didn't even want to hear about it. Why does she suddenly want to go with them. Also why in the world does she want to intrude on their date exactly? That is kind of rude even if they are going to someplace cool.

It's kind of like the "N-ple Date" arc, but the other way around...in terms of the characters

I wonder what would happen if they took grape and she walked into that door thing like peanut did.

At first I was thinking "what's the deal with water parks?" but then it hits me: Sabrina.
Yup, the whole gang is going to the trip (I wonder if Kari is included)

By the way, I think Grape looks more feline than ever before.

Wow, this time it was Grape with the accurate prediction, if you can call an irritated analogy that.

getting into other peoples business? For shame, grape...

Cat's like water parks???
Also, TAROT IS SO FLUFFY!

on another note, apparently Tarot's new face marking wasn't makeup for the wedding or something weird with lighting. good to know.

Yeah I noticed that. Don't know if I like it or not yet, but the look does go along with her being supernatural and all.

The shadow around her eyes has always been there. Well, except in one early strip. It's only now when I decided I'd delineate all fur patterns that it's actually been highlighted. (I've been trying to mark it as lightly as I could so it doesn't seem TOO contrasted.)

I am not precisely sure it's in the right place though. I'll probably fidget with it a LITTLE over a few strips.

I think it looks fine as is personally, it makes her look neat.

Next comic ~ The last panel will be Grape screaming as she opens the front door to the house and goes sliding.

Nothing wrong with looking out for Peanut. She's got that protective instinct in her! I just think it's going to be funny when she finds out when Gallifrax turns out to be some sort of awesome place to go for the summer and quickly switches from "This place is stupid. It's not even in our dimension." to "This is awesome. It's out of this world."

I wish I noticed it more on the epilogue, but looking back at the previous comic, I think the mark was always neat when it wasn't standing out as much as it is now.

Well this might be the arc where Grape gets into trouble or does something stupid and Peanut will have to save her. There's a twist for ya.

Do your thing man. I'm sure you'll get it down.

Well, it would seem that while grape is jealous of tarot on the outside, it makes you wonder about the way she feels about Peanut... (Jealousy maybe? )

oh hey, there it is. alright.

I think it's fine as is, just might take a bit of getting used to it in the new style. but fidget as you wish.

Oh wow, I never noticed the shading till now..

She does doesn't want to share, our little love Tarot.
She knows Grape will always want to come,
wherever she may go.

She just wants to take Peanut to a place of fun
and she knows the score - when Grape comes
they'll end up on the run.

She mentions slyly what she knows benumbs
most cats – although Grape doesn't count
and still her envy hums

She'll demand a trip on her own account
and the local laws she'll probably flaunt
and Tarot will lose her park discount...

Tarot = awesome

@user above do you always make poems like these in every new comic strip/once in a while?

yeah, he makes one for every strip

RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:yeah, he makes one for every strip

I'm never sure if they're liked, tolerated or ignored. I don't mind either way as I have fun writing them.

I've learned that most everyone has a thing they're known for. You get used to it.

I detect a hint of jealousy, but I think even for best friends with zero romantic tension between them, one would eventually get a little annoyed if they were constantly going on Wild And Crazy Adventures with their Deluxe Magical Girl/Boyfriend that don't cost them a thing while you're stuck at home killing mice.

Yes, like back on the very beginning of the comic. Grape and Peanut shared a common interest in pretending to go on crazy adventures. Now Tarot had 1 up'd grape on those games with actual multi-dimensional traveling adventures. I could imagine Grape getting jealous.

Don't think I have one, which is why I said "most everyone."

I never have noticed that shading on Tarot until this strip. Interesting. And if waterparks in the normal universe are fun, Gallifraxian waterparks must be fun on a bun.

Xane wrote:Well it does seem a bit unfair that Tarot never even offers to take Grape and Max but if you spend too much time looking to the future without paying attention to the now, you tend to trip over what's right in front of you.

If what you are saying is true then, given that Tarot is a fortune-teller, it wouldn't be surprising if she ends up walking right into a wall one of this days.

Good call Mr. Cartoons!!!! Grape likes getting wet? What is going on here?!
I'm not sure if Tarot is fluffier or chubbier.

This comic is your own doing.
I won't claim this move is bad.
But, like The Simpsons' latin american dubbing,
This sudden changes make me feel sad.

IceKitsune wrote:I think it looks fine as is personally, it makes her look neat.

The shaded strip on her eyes, her new found fluffyness/chubbyness, and probably the fact that both characters are wise-cracking magic users, truly makes me think of Ursula from The Little Mermaid, but that's probably just me.

On last strip's comments, I claimed that maybe the Galli-frog-whatever dimnsion is actually our own, real-world one, and the dialog on this strip's last two panels ("Dangerous for mortals, sometimes." "Has an awesome water park.") only seems to sustain it even more.

LionWolfHybrid wrote:@user above do you always make poems like these in every new comic strip/once in a while?

Yup! Just like Level_Head does in Endtown's comment section. (Level_Head speaks in limmericks full-time in there, though.)

I love them, Remember when I admitted looking forward to what you would write when Rodrigo and me made that guest strip?

The only problem for me is that I wnt to read every single comment in this threads, and that forces me to read your poems real quick, without fully appreaciating them.
Sorry about that. : (

During the epilogue strip I thought that patch was some sort of a veil, but checking older strips after that showed otherwise.

Grape might be against cat norms and may actually like water. XD

Now I wanna go, they get to have all the fun. Also, is Tarot becoming part racoon or something? What is that dark area on her face?

Tarot's always had dark fur around her eyes, it adds to her allure.

Well, I have an astounding ability that all of you would find most useful:
If you were toacquire the ability to read my mind, or place a hidden camera near me and record a day in my life, I would immedeately open your eyes to the truth that the phrase "Spare the rod, spoil the child." is the single greatest phrase ever concieved by man.

AS the saying goes:
"Don't say I'm useless, I can be used as a bad example."

rickgriffin wrote:I am happy that my stuff results in others' creativity

I would gladly write a fanfic about Ten Thousand Miles Up*, if you were to give me a free copy.
(Your price for it is already two dollars and something above my current personal income.)

*A.K.A. kanagaroo, racoon, and dragon peoplez in spaaaaaaaace!**
**Or maybe is about Miles doing ten thousand push-ups?

I wonder if she's jealous?

I was thinking, what happened to Tarot?
She looks tired. not getting much sleep, with those dark bags around her eyes.

So ... is it safe to say that Grape is going to join them ?

Also, gotta love her reaction in the 3rd panel

She could take Max to Theme Park World to spite them.

Or maybe it's Sharktoberfest at the Gallifrax Water Park and Grape gets to rescue them.
