[ The Third Comic With Ninjas, Probably ]

Title Text: let me go, let me go, can't hold me up anymore, let me go, let me go, drop me down onto the floor

Spot (superdog) is very good at his job, apparently

Not business ninja!

Geez, Spot (Superdog), you suck at your job(s)! Can't get witty pun, can't keep from accidentally killing a guy, but at least your tracking skills work.

Spot (superdog) may not be that good in his job, but that has to be the worst ninja ever XD

Woops there you go Business Ninja

NOOO!!! Some Guy was so close to retirement!

The simplicity of story
Replaces the simple art,
Moving plot forward fast
As Spot does his part.
Questioning like in Gotham,
Tripping like in training,
The goon does dancing death
As poison does his brain in.
He’s going to the hotel
To look for ol’ hook hand.
One thing we probably know?
It’ll (sorta) go as planned.

Notice how there's a slight fur-color difference between Spot(reporter) and Spot(superdog)? Spot(reporter) has a slight purple to his fur.

Also, grammar error: "the guy you look for".

At "Suddenly, Business Ninja!", I cracked

You know, I think Peanut traded his story-telling for his new art skills

I'm sure he'll use his ninja skills to survive.

And if not... well, that's what he gets for not being stealthy.

But at least he's not a pancake.

Business Ninja reminds me of Cornelius Snarlington, Business Deer.

it's a parody of 1930 style comics. They really were written this way. Quick, condensed, exposition and a fight in a few frames.

I'm confused as to what's happening.

Where's the hotel receptionist? That guy was a crucial plot element of the story!

He just made a cameo in the penultimate panel

*Suddenly, Business Ninja!*
I quite literally laughed out loud at that! Peanut's comic tendencies are getting better and better with each "Spot (Superdog) comic! (Question, is it intentional?) It's a shame the poor guy got demoted to Business Pancake just as suddenly!
One other thing.

"Spot, who is now apparently a reporter or possibly a detective, and also Superdog..." Is the best recap in comic history!

"Pistol-whip!" "Ow! My entire face!" still wins the best LOL dialog exchange prize from Monday's strip!

Now we get to watch as Peanut's writing skills improve.

The grammar Star's referring to is in panel #5

It looks right to me

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Wed Jan 13, 2016 2:21 pm

And our superhero is starting with the rude ways, too rude, actually.

Well, at least that's an efficient way to let him speak.

Eheh, the business ninja goes away as fast as he appeared.

But no, the poor some guy won't enjoy retirement...

Now come on, fly to the hotel.

SuperStar wrote:Notice how there's a slight fur-color difference between Spot(reporter) and Spot(superdog)? Spot(reporter) has a slight purple to his fur.

The color tones inconsistency is caused by the ambient lightning. The example you do of the slightly purple fur color happens in the indoor scenes.

Fair enough. I'd figured it fit with the dialogue style of the golden age comics.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Jan 13, 2016 3:47 pm

Spot really does stink bad at this so its good that he has many different talents then. So one guy was poisoned to death and Spot couldn't save him and then he pushed a guy out a high rise window to his death by accident. And if he lands on anybody they will be killed too. And then there are the people who will see what happens after a fall from that height.

Great job Spot! You just traumatized a boat load of people!

He really likes that dance pose doesn't he?

Maybe the guy that got poison-darted and the hotel receptionist are *gasp* the same guy!

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Wed Jan 13, 2016 4:49 pm

Really liking these playful jabs every panel. And i don't think it counts if the ninjas are drawn by Peanut, but who am i to argue that logic? :3

Surprised the ninja didn't steal the plot device from under Spot's nose before dying. What if he had the location on a disc or something?

In the '30s, they didn't have discs.

Wonder if the ninja was from canine resources.

It's recorded on a gramophone disc.

Unusuallynamedperson · Wed Jan 13, 2016 8:53 pm

yes, that's definately not private information...Their must be hundreds of people running around with hooks for their hands where he comes from

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Jan 14, 2016 1:34 am

That kind of reminds me of a Seinfeld episode now that I think about it.

John-056 · Post by **John-056** » Thu Jan 14, 2016 3:36 am

Huh, Busness Ninja Reminds me of the Spy....

Is Peanut a Fan of TF2?

...Nah, neither Earl or Jill Sandwich would allow it.

Also, Peanut's certainly improved in his art. Wonder if he'll draw Tarot one day?

You know I think that they would allow him to play it if he was interested. They seem to be very liberal.

there has been a significant increase in murder as well as dancing in this comic as of late

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Jan 16, 2016 12:12 am

Just goes to show you how much darker Peanut is going.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Tue Jan 19, 2016 3:04 pm

It's because this is a pre-comic-code version of Spot.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Jan 19, 2016 9:34 pm

OK I'm confused and I don't really read a lot of comics. What is the comic code?

Tue Jan 19, 2016 10:56 pm

the comics code wass basically like a rating system for comics. publishers sent their comics to the Comics Code Authority, and if they followed the right rules they'd get a seal of approval and parents and advertisers could know what they were buying/supporting without having to read the whole comic.
