Title Text: It's great advice, just cut out all the personal attacks and bad advice!

I'm never really 100% sure how to feel about Spo...

There`s your answer Fido, now go AND FIGHT FOR HER !!!!!!!

Post by **D-Rock** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 12:09 am

Love it when bad advice is called out. Better when we see a reaction like Spo's.

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 12:09 am

Well Fido is going to crash the wedding for sure (not like that wasn't kind of obvious already) I just hope it goes well for him.

You know Fido's depressed when he doesn't have his shades on. Next thing you know he'll be walking around without his collar on.

For some reason I got onto this and it told me I wasn't authorized to read it. How quaint.
*GASP* Look, self-depreciative humor from Spo!

The end is nigh! Hide your pencil sharpeners!

And moments before Fido saves the day, reveling his secret, a plot twist gets someone/something else to stop the wedding.

How's that for my first prediction? Too broad?

I can tell we're going to be very good friends someday.

The words of brutal, 'honest', advice
come from a heart so wonderfully small
as Fido hears what he needs to hear
coming from the liar of the head mice.

Spo's forgetting his feelings for Squeak
and the power ladies have on male thought.
So he talks from his passion and friendship
but didn't think before he thought to speak.

Fido should hear what he needed to hear
to decide to interrupt the wedding.
To profess his passion for the Jet lady
and kick 'mighty' Jata right out of here.
I have nothing set against the Leopard
But he should hear Sabrina – it's not hard.

How is it I'm just noticing I should have been reading Spo with a Brooklyn accent this whole time?

Hedronal · Post by **Hedronal** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 12:25 am

Ah Spo, with your logic-like mispredicated advice. That and his commentaries have made him a funny, worthwhile character.

Whoa, slow down there buddy! Don't get your hopes up!

But your right, if this where to go wrong (which I doubt will happen) he might get depressed to the point where he just doesn't care...

maybe fido will burst out at the moment when thay say if anyone has any objections speak now .... or maybe he will hopefully not get in some kind of fight with jata

Gren · Post by **Gren** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 12:54 am

Is it just me or Fido looks a lot to Peanut lately? Perhaps is due to the facial expressions?

Iceheart · Post by **Iceheart** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 12:55 am

Spo has great incite on this matter. I'm rooting for you Fido, I haven't believed this much in a relationship ever.

matthew Wolf · Post by **matthew Wolf** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 12:59 am

i wonder what everyone will think of fido being a catlover

Not at all. I'll see your prediction and I'll raise you this....

The arc gets solved without the help of ether Fido or Max. Epilogue strip - Both Max (bulked up to insane proportions) and Fido come running in from opposite directions, both saying "I'll save you, Sabrina!". They notice noone's there and instantly become somewhat uncomfortable.

Max: So....I ... Uh....I guess it all worked out without us...
Fido: Yea, I...um...I guess they didn't need us after all...
(Both look at each other...searching for something to say)
Fido: You seem ... Uh... To be more...healthy...then last I saw you.
Max: Ah yes....I've been training with Kevin.
Fido: Ah, yes, he does good work. You look much more powerful than before.
Max: (Smiling) Thank you. And might I say, you are looking quite buff today...even moreso than usual!
(A giant cartoon foot immediately squishes Max comically as a tiny "Oh my!" Can be seen coming from offscreen, (IDed in the Tags as Squeak))
Fido: ( Turning to screen ) It's..............
(Second row in the double strip done in a mock Terry Gilliam style with parody versions of the cast)
Announcer: "Monty Python's Flying Housepets!" The parody of the opening credits ends with a yellow box stating "And now for something completely different...... Two weeks of one-off strips."

Hey....it could happen....

But if you follow his advice, then you should ignore his advice. *brainsplosion*

If that ever happens, I have the feeling that the ending would be somewhat anticlimactic. XD

And lack of Cool Shades -- it would be interesting if Peanut goes as Fido for Halloween

The main visual differences between Peanut and Fido have been their colorations, sunglasses, and mouse-headedness. Other than that, they've always been dead ringers for each other.

Oh noes! I mean OH YEA!
Squeak must've been envious of the PETA guy a few days ago,
all smooshed nice-n-tight under Mile's feet!

Maybe the mice'll be underfoot and make it a double wedding?
One under the bride's feet, another under the groom's feet
so they're forced to hug-n-kiss when the big-ones do too :">
How romantic for church-mice (this ain't Cinderella).

gameangel147 · Post by **gameangel147** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 2:36 am

It's Spo and his flawed wisdom! You know, now I want to see Spo fight Jata. I actually think Spo has a good chance of winning, since he's so small compared to him and all he has to do is latch onto his back and climb up to his head.

RioluNation · Post by **RioluNation** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 2:53 am

Fido vs Jata. This is gonna be a tough battle.

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 3:02 am

...And there's more.
Should Fido come out publicly, Max will know that Sabrina dumped him for A DOG. That could *seriously* hurt his self-esteem, to a point in which it may damage his relationship with grape.
Not to mention that Peanut, being the hyper-emotive pup in stressful situation, could also decide to tell inf ront of everyone how he feels for Grape.
Double ouchi, Maxie-kitty!

For some reason I always assumed Max knew about Fido and Sabrina, but I guess there's no reason to think this. So if he doesn't know, that might bring out another level of stress if it comes out -- his anger at Grape for knowing but not telling him.

Man, Spo is an emotional guru.

Hey Rick, this mouse deserves his own talk show.

Yeah.

You guys make me laugh so much.

Maybe Fido is Peanut's alter ego! And he's dating with both Tarot and Sabrina!

It's... unnerving how much Spo looks like me RL in that second panel

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 10:53 am

I'm liking the periodic close-ups of Spo. It used to be that a vast majority of the time he was just a little speck. :3

'S'okay, Diss; we still like you anyway. I believe Spo is possessed of wisdom far beyond his years (and size).

Too bad he's also a bit of a jerk...

An intriguing theory, Gren, but it's not possible. As you can see here, both Fido and Peanut are present in the shot. So they can't be one and the same, although that would have been a great plot twist that would have opened so many cans of worms.

What about a plot where they swap for a day?

Who knows? Maybe they're actually related. Bino would just lose it if that turned out to be true!
