Title Text: Max 2.0 Rebooted

Maxwell just cannot catch a break!

Come on Maxwell ... You ask for it ! ha ha ha

GeckoZY · Post by **GeckoZY** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 12:02 am

Yey! Now he's symmetric... ...almost!

Max would clearly not survive another week in that dimension.

The minimum of boots required to be a boots salescat is two. So I guess he should start setting up shop. And do I sense a hint of Garfield when I look at this strip?

Max is just a magnet for boots here isn't he? Also this arc seems to have the running theme of Max and Peanut being (unintentionally) annoying to Grape and Tarot.

Sourpuss must be such a weird phrase for them.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 12:14 am

Clearly that cliche doesn't exist in his universe. Otherwise he shoulda seen it coming.

I believe that is every arch where all four of them are present.

Can't see why not.

What I love about today's comic is despite no matter how awesome Max is, Grape is just picking up the genre savvyness from a mile away everytime. That, or she thinks 'Some One's Rocking My Dream Boat' is just a corny song. <3

Also, Maxwell went from faceplanting roads to caterwauling fences like a pro.

Silly Zealot · Post by **Silly Zealot** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 12:27 am

Why calling the one who threw the boot a jerk? You don't know what you are calling people, Mister witty text link to the forums, you don't know what you are calling people! *Runs off crying*

Sleet wrote:Clearly that cliche doesn't exist in his universe. Otherwise he shoulda seen it coming.

That's probably because cats in his dimension can both sing very well AND throw back the boots.

Kouri · Post by **Kouri** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 12:45 am

Hmmm... I smell a new running gag for Max...?
Either way, I doubt this will be the last we see of that boot...

Wed Aug 07, 2013 12:46 am

my prediction: Max will get hit by a third boot after leaving Gallifrax

Well, he certainly couldn't catch the boot. :v

Poor Max! His cat singing can't be THAT bad, right? *boot*

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 2:00 am

Our Max!
He does his best now, to cheer her
because, unlike dogs, he don't fear her
and he's hoping that he can please her
but he's really starting to cheese her
Our Max!
He's really putting the song on
He's really getting his game on
He's really putting his groove on
He's also getting a new boot on
Our Max!
He's really tuned like Sinatra
He really knows he should go far
but only with his Grape to star
and leave the door of love ajar...
Poor Max...
We'll see him standing alone
When she leaves him all alone
to cut off on her own
his heart will sink like a stone...
Blue Max

He's a lovely guy, Grape! You won't do better around there!

SENSU BEAN!!

Ten points if you understood the reference

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 3:16 am

BUT POOR MAXIE!
He's so the victim here! And he's trying his best to make up for being a jerk before.

gameangel147 · Post by **gameangel147** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 3:17 am

Max is a boot-magnet, they just throw themselves at him!

I got 20 clams that say that he gets 4 boots in this arc.

Ryusuta · Post by **Ryusuta** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 3:46 am

I don't care if it's technically feasible, I'm saying that Grape threw it. :3

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 4:12 am

Now I feel real bad for the Gallifrax dimension's Fiddler and Keys.

EchoFireant · Post by **EchoFireant** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 5:03 am

And a boot to the head

shane b. · Post by **shane b.** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 5:07 am

Does anyone wanna bet that Maxie won't survive a month in Gallifrax

Post by **Render** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 5:28 am

Now he has both boots. He should take them home.

And to my surprise, Max is already pretty skilled as a quadruped.

Gamewolf67 · Post by **Gamewolf67** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 6:34 am

Normally a cat would dodge, but this is Max we're talking about.

SkyeCaptain · Post by **SkyeCaptain** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:25 am

Is Max secretly Thomas O'Malley? A less succesful, boot-attracting version at least?

BassGroove · Post by **BassGroove** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:35 am

I can't be the only one that sang that... tell me I'm not alone!

I wasn;t singing it out loud but the tune is now stuck in my head - and I looked to see if there were any unsecured footgear laying about.

BTW, now he's got both the right AND the left - and they look a whole lot like Ugg Adirondack, size 11 EE .

Not a cheap boot - so Max's singing mustv'e been ...commentable!

In other thoughts, the song in my head has changed to one by the band "the Stray Cats":
(recited from memory)
"Stray cat strut, I'm a ladie's cat... A real casanova, hey! man, where it's at!;
Get a shoe thrown at me by a mean ol' man; I get my dinner from a garbage can..."

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 10:26 am

That first panel would make such a good avatar.

I thought I was the only one that listened to them!

Yeah, don't cross my path!

I don't bother
Chasing mice around...woah no
I slink down the alley
Lookin for a fight
Howl into the moonlight
On a hot summer night!

Maybe he's a Chevy guy. *gets boot to the head*

That's Abraham de Lacey Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley, if you please. Only if he starts crooning, Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat.

Rebooted. Pfffft! XD

TheInsaneMaster · Post by **TheInsaneMaster** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 12:10 pm

For some reason, Max looked pretty silly(or cute) in the 3rd panel. Also, right when I saw him climb the fence, I went "Garfield!". Suprisingly, no fat, orange cat came to say "Hey, this is my fence!",

pokeblue · Post by **pokeblue** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 12:11 pm

Oh lookie, now his face is kinda even.

Argent wrote:Now I feel real bad for the Gallifrax dimension's Fiddler and Keys.

I don't think they would have it as bad as Max though, cause at least there's a possibility that the Fiddler and Keys of that world actually know how to sing. I'm not sure what folks think, but I personally think that Max is unfortunately just one of those few that should NEVER sing ever.

Don’t click this link if you threw that boot, you jerk!

Good thing I didn't throw it then.

Come to think of it, I don't think I would ever need a boot to shush an annoying cat at night. My neighborhood is predominantly dog owners who keep at least one dog in their backyard, and all are ones that don't like cats. That actually includes my family.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 1:13 pm

This is probably who Galifrax Keys is. Fiddler is up a creek without thumbs though.

Frank · Post by **Frank** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 2:38 pm

Who threw that boot? Have you no heart? How can you boot something that adorable?]

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:24 pm

Funny thing is, when I saw Max 2.0 rebooted as the alt text, I was thinking of the radio station. *boot*

Otherwise, I would've said it won't be long until Max literally lands on the blue screen of death. *brick*
