Poor Keene... Just don't tell them Jata is related to Res, okay?

The forum link did say Jata needed help with a bank... Maybe he's in financial trouble? That could also explain the cab. (Limo=$2000, cab=$53?)

What I wonder is if Peanut designed Stripe after a cat in his neighborhood. Artists like to do that.

Or cheetahs. He did say his African country was run by cheetahs.

Cheetahs have funny squeaky voices, they sound like housecats.

So, I guess Mr. Bigglesworth recovered from that incident with Squeak?...

That was probably a different Mr. Bigglesworth.

I think he and Shardul would be a great team!

Panel 2: Keys, what are you doing in there? Stop pretending you're a girl.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 11:03 am

Keys isn't tagged, and it hasn't been specified which genders Fiddler or Keys are in any case.

Just like how Stripe isn't in this comic.

Well "Stripe" is in the comic, just not tagged.

over the deal he's striking with the Ferret cool.
He may cause consternation among the males
but a push for romance never fails.
To suggest he may wish a bride is absurd?
After all... He's not yet said one single word.

is there nothing you cant rhyme?!?

oh and before i forget... SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Happiness Designer · Post by **Happiness Designer** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:19 pm

Jata is most likely a leopard. Why?

Look at the second panel, in the background with all the words. A few are saying leopard.

It may not mean he is, but I have a suspicion that he's a leopard :3

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:45 pm

Well, "the African nation ruled by cheetahs" is supposed to be canonical. I guess there could be more than one.

Or he could be running a con on the ferrets.

"Girls! Girls! I have a Mercedes.... Which is to say that I'm married to a Spanish girl. I'm sorry but I can't go out with any of you."

Also, "small attention", hahaha!

The cast page says one is male and the other is female, doesn't say which witch is which, though.

Because I keep hearing it, of course.

If fans circulate things enough, they become canon, right?

Sniffing Peanut is awesome enough for me.

My links to the discussion don't really have anything to do with the comic's plot. In this instance, I was making reference to the well-publicized e-mail schemes in which someone receives an electronic note from an alleged "African Prince" saying the sender's assets have been frozen and they'll reward the recipient handsomely for a small, one-time cash infusion of... say... $25,000, just enough to bribe the authorities.

I think Neo (confirmed: TheOne is indeed yet another alias for mister Anderson.) has been away from the forums for a while, as Rick finally decides to place his squirrel alter-ego at his same level.
Next stop, his two personalities merge into one and a wild Rickssenssion the squirret appears!

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 6:15 pm

On another note: I think all of those love-hearted eyes and "^_^" just made that last panel just that much harder to forget how funny it is to watch those moments where all senses just drop.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 6:49 pm

So he's the prince of an African micronation who arrived in town... And for what? Reminds me a bit of the movie "Coming to America" with Eddie Murphy.
And Grape, shouldn't be so excited to him, she already has Maxwell (and Peanut).

I'm pretty sure before the last arc, Maxwell had no problems with Grape going into her fangirl moods. It's just the problem, in my opinion, is that this would be a bad time to do this. Then again, it's possible that they already reconciled quickly after the last arc, so it's not too farfetched to say Maxwell is feeling ok with this again.
