Well, King, it’s not really your fault at all,
it’s not like you knew just what went on the wall,
but Max should probably have known better
and her reaction when he upset her.
You want to say she’s lain with some others?
When all she knows are, like, friends and brothers?
You’re lucky that she loves you, Max, my boy,
even when she treats you like her best toy.
Max here met the mighty hook of cat love,
a velvet fist that needs no Iron glove.
King looks upon the remains with some awe;
Perhaps he’s thinking he’s seen this before..?

Well that's the way King found out, so can't blame him for saying that

I think Max is just worried Grape is trying to surprise him. I can see Max being a worry-wart.

Oh, no... he's a cat version of King. x3

You know, I think Max is a cat version of King. And having found out about Grape's and Peanut's relationship he might be a bit nervous. His question was a bit gauche, but I don't think that Grape should be attacking the cleanup crew, save that for later they have a big enough mess on their hands.

Yeah, there was the ice cream during their imaginate play, but only Grape ate it, indeed. Don't worry as your usual, King. :D But then, what could happen to your pups if they eat a bit of It? ;) Oooh, that would be an impressive news from Grape... :o Eh, Maxwell, if you're not sure of that, shouldn't you wonder some question, then? :P Eheh, that body slam on the floor answers more than thousands of words. Phew! :lol:

Just got to love it when physical comedy involves a girlfriend injuring a boyfriend in some way when if it was the other way around it wouldn't be accepted. Though that isn't why I don't feel this strip. I'm sick of somebody attacking someone being used as a comedy bit. :roll:

Well it has been established that this is something that Grape does; and what Max said was pretty stupid so I think it was warranted.

Sorry but relationship violence is never warranted. That is the one thing in this strip that bugs me is physical abuse for humor. I like the comic but this was a low point for me. If it was the other way around I'm sure people would be thinking differently if Max did it to Grape. That is just my opinion and I am sticking with it. With that I think its a good idea to end this conversation.

You don't get to declare the conversation over after you've continued sharing your opinion. That's not how conversation works, Dayzee :P
That said, it is a matter of personal taste, and there's no reason for anyone to attempt to convince anyone else they are wrong or right. So let's sidestep this one, yall ;)

You are right I don't get to declare it down after my opinion is known and I am sorry that it came off like that. I should have said "I think we need to stop because this could violate the rules" instead of just shutting it down. That is the reason why I wanted to stop talking about it because I don't want to get in trouble.

Also consider the fact that it would be extremely out of character for Max to pull a stunt like that. Grape on the other hand has a history of doing so.

Also consider that the question Max asked is one of the most scariest of questions you could ask a girl. Especially if you are dating her =)

If that is the case rather than just body slamming him and possibly injuring him serious she should have just slapped him. :|

You know what? I will accept that. Since that is more classified as physical comedy rather than just abuse.

*Thinks of all the moments in media where the slap is the primary form of abuse*
...you know what, for the sake of leaving this topic behind, let’s say sure.

You know, Grape hasn’t really been shown to have a big appetite before, just really weird tastes (dolphin, somehow, and that mocchacinno burrito when she met Res).

She also ate that green Sandwich Max made her - which looks like it was made just to see if she would eat it without throwing it up =P

I've always been curious what Grape's true pregnancy crave would be because of her eating habits. Ice cream just seems to hit home because of this arc, but i'm expecting either dog treats or something completely off the wall. Like horse meat.

She's stated, on occasions, that she likes Dog treats. She even sneaks into club meetings to get them.

Yes, but something tells me Jill and Earl don't buy them for Grape.

I can expect a shift of cat food to dog food because of it.

I recall reading that dog food doesn’t have adequate nutrition for cats, though, so if that’s the case, I can see others trying to keep her away from filling up on too much of it.

Eating for two,
Well, that's new,
And you fed the pups ice cream,
At least Grape didn't scream.

King's finally back at last,
Our Imaginate's gone by so fast,
Is she eating for two? Who knows!
Max's obliviousness- here, it shows.

In other words, Max- filter, please, get one!
You're a wonderful person! You can do this! Yes, you, person reading this!
