Well she is clearly going to follow them, or its going to be a double date; one of the two.

I'm calling it now: Grape does stay home and the arc follows her instead of Peanut and Tarot.

That would be a twist for sure, it would make the arc rather boring though because it would be basically Grape brooding the whole time.RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:I'm calling it now: Grape does stay home and the arc follows her instead of Peanut and Tarot.
Also you know the last time this kind of stuff was brought up to Grape (at the end of We're Snowed In!) she didn't even want to hear about it. Why does she suddenly want to go with them. Also why in the world does she want to intrude on their date exactly? That is kind of rude even if they are going to someplace cool.

It's kind of like the "N-ple Date" arc, but the other way around...in terms of the characters

I wonder what would happen if they took grape and she walked into that door thing like peanut did.
Now that King is a dog does he cry to all dog's go to heaven???
Re: 2013/07/10 - It Even Is Awesome
At first I was thinking "what's the deal with water parks?" but then it hits me: Sabrina.
Yup, the whole gang is going to the trip (I wonder if Kari is included)
By the way, I think Grape looks more feline than ever before.

on another note, apparently Tarot's new face marking wasn't makeup for the wedding or something weird with lighting. good to know.

Re: 2013/07/10 - It Even Is Awesome
The shadow around her eyes has always been there. Well, except in one early strip. It's only now when I decided I'd delineate all fur patterns that it's actually been highlighted. (I've been trying to mark it as lightly as I could so it doesn't seem TOO contrasted.)
I am not precisely sure it's in the right place though. I'll probably fidget with it a LITTLE over a few strips.

I think it looks fine as is personally, it makes her look neat.
Re: 2013/07/10 - It Even Is Awesome
Next comic ~ The last panel will be Grape screaming as she opens the front door to the house and goes sliding.
Nothing wrong with looking out for Peanut. She's got that protective instinct in her! I just think it's going to be funny when she finds out when Gallifrax turns out to be some sort of awesome place to go for the summer and quickly switches from "This place is stupid. It's not even in our dimension." to "This is awesome. It's out of this world."

Re: 2013/07/10 - It Even Is Awesome
Well, it would seem that while grape is jealous of tarot on the outside, it makes you wonder about the way she feels about Peanut... (Jealousy maybe? )

Re: 2013/07/10 - It Even Is Awesome
She does doesn't want to share, our little love Tarot.
She knows Grape will always want to come,
wherever she may go.
She just wants to take Peanut to a place of fun
and she knows the score - when Grape comes
they'll end up on the run.
She mentions slyly what she knows benumbs
most cats – although Grape doesn't count
and still her envy hums
She'll demand a trip on her own account
and the local laws she'll probably flaunt
and Tarot will lose her park discount...
Tarot = awesome

Yes, like back on the very beginning of the comic. Grape and Peanut shared a common interest in pretending to go on crazy adventures. Now Tarot had 1 up'd grape on those games with actual multi-dimensional traveling adventures. I could imagine Grape getting jealous.Xane wrote:I detect a hint of jealousy, but I think even for best friends with zero romantic tension between them, one would eventually get a little annoyed if they were constantly going on Wild And Crazy Adventures with their Deluxe Magical Girl/Boyfriend that don't cost them a thing while you're stuck at home killing mice.IceKitsune wrote:Also you know the last time this kind of stuff was brought up to Grape (at the end of We're Snowed In!) she didn't even want to hear about it.

Re: 2013/07/10 - It Even Is Awesome
I never have noticed that shading on Tarot until this strip. Interesting. And if waterparks in the normal universe are fun, Gallifraxian waterparks must be fun on a bun.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

If what you are saying is true then, given that Tarot is a fortune-teller, it wouldn't be surprising if she ends up walking right into a wall one of this days.Xane wrote:Well it does seem a bit unfair that Tarot never even offers to take Grape and Max but if you spend too much time looking to the future without paying attention to the now, you tend to trip over what's right in front of you.

I'm not sure if Tarot is fluffier or chubbier.

I won't claim this move is bad.
But, like The Simpsons' latin american dubbing,
This sudden changes make me feel sad.
The shaded strip on her eyes, her new found fluffyness/chubbyness, and probably the fact that both characters are wise-cracking magic users, truly makes me think of Ursula from The Little Mermaid, but that's probably just me.IceKitsune wrote:I think it looks fine as is personally, it makes her look neat.
On last strip's comments, I claimed that maybe the Galli-frog-whatever dimnsion is actually our own, real-world one, and the dialog on this strip's last two panels ("Dangerous for mortals, sometimes." "Has an awesome water park.") only seems to sustain it even more.GameCobra wrote:Nothing wrong with looking out for Peanut. She's got that protective instinct in her!

During the epilogue strip I thought that patch was some sort of a veil, but checking older strips after that showed otherwise.
