2013/08/09 - Dragon It Out

[TheOne]

wait, how did he not know they were separate

did he think some random spirit had just taken her over there to hit on him?

Personally, I wonder if Peanut's brain is comparable to the processing capabilities of a Pentium 1. (I would say an Apple II E, but I don't want to insult him.) Point being that he is capable of processing advanced knowledge, but it takes a looooooooooong time to understand it. In "Inappropriate Title" I think Peanut was just confused and clueless as to what was happening, and he never took the time to start processing it again.

Peanut's more soul shattered than when she said The Game... poor Peanut.

Yeah, it's strange. I thought Grape's soul was going to be the one that got shattered on this trip. So far, only the guys have taken the beatings. (And in Max's case, taken the bootings.)

I really don't think that Tarot gets another body when Dragon takes over (as in the one off or when she transformed) so that's not possible.

I was operating on the assumption of psychic help not needing a physical body. Astral projection

Perhaps it's like Freakazoid. (Ten points if you've watched the show) When Dragon takes over, Tarot goes into a little 'waiting room' inside her head, where her eyes are the windows, and there's snacks on a table. Or maybe it's like MIB II and Tarot is really a tiny alien lady operating a Pomeranian robotic body...
Great, now I've got a modified ear worm in my head...

House-pe-ets! Robots in disguise!"
(Yes, I still like my Saturday morning cartoons and laughing at the commercials even though I'm 25. Sue me.)

Ok Peanut, what do you call side-action with Grape, if not "cheating"? I mean, Tarot's ok with it so it's all ok, but how is it any different with Spirit Dragon?

Oh, and dat face.

[Argent]

Even knowing how Tarot's powers work she still comes off as a bit of a lunatic in the "he is my boyfriend" strip.

Tarot was acting pretty nutty when they first met.

Or she could just have been goofing around. I mean, haven't you ever felt the urge to suddenly intone "I MUST FIND A MORE SUITABLE HOST BODY" in a crowded elevator? Or is that just me? Come on, folks, it's not just me, right?

[Serence Frostbite]

........sure.....whatever you say argent *slowly back away*

[Gamewolf67]

I wake up at 3:00 a.m. 2 PAGES.
Me: Impossibru!

[Macsen]

Aww.... Poor puppy.

wait, how did he not know they were separate

For what it's worth, he's probably never seen them together in the same room.

[BassGroove]

This is a whole different type of self awareness...Not the good kind either.

[Perfesser_Bear]

Yeah, I gotta say, Peanut is such a great guy, but he is kind of a Newfie. Not the brightest candle on the tree, as it were.

I'm actually surprised nobody brought up And Nothing But
(Unless somebody already did and I missed it, which wouldn't surprise me at all.)

[shane b.]

Well.....this is awkward

[YourRoyalCorginess]

Oh my poor peanut that face, it melts your very soul

[Sleet]

Peanut's face is so sad. D:

Cuddling. Presumably Peanut did romantic stuff with Spirit Dragon (or at least thought so).

[Argent]

........sure.....whatever you say argent *slowly back away*

:[ aww that face poor peanut he looks devastated he needs a hug

[Welsh Halfwit]

Did a poem this morning. Can't find it.

Here's a new one.

Well, poor Peanut,
his mind's gone 'phut'
at the thought he was cheating.
Tarot saves face
by accepting his grace
It's Dragon she may be hating.
Peanut's face fall
as he thinks it all
too much is to be commended.
And, one day,
Pete refusing to play
will mean the link is ended.

[D-Rock]

And the sad truth hits Peanut really hard. Even if it did take three tries. Just how did he not process his first meeting with Dragon? Eh, this is funnier.

[Stuff.]

Lawdy, this arc has some of the best expressions so far.

<8C

[gameangel147]

Now Peanut feels bad for doing something he was unaware of doing. So wait, where is this leading to?

[CHAOKOCartoons]

*My reaction to panel 3*

[copper]

Took a while to dawn on him there I see. I love just how freaked out he got by the news.... his ears went erect for a bit there!

I am guessing her news is to tell Peanut the truth, really....Dragon sent her to date Peanut to take him off the board and stop Pete, Dragon fell in love with him, and is wanting to date him herself, and now Tarot will offer him the choice. Why Dragon has been following them around all day.... she will soon join the conversation.

[Dragon]

"Dragon it out" I'm a Dragon D:

Interesting, however considering she was trying to avoid this freak out I doubt that she wants to give him that kind of choice. The first part however, telling him about their relationship being about taking him off the board and then explaining the game to him, I think is a very real possibility.

I do also have a feeling that the whole Soul Shattering thing was talking about Peanut now and this plus the revelation of the game and the start of the relationship might be the thing that "shatters him". Then again given how hes apparently taken everything else (outside of this strip obviously) extremely well it seems a bit out of character perhaps. Though it could be the "straw that broke the camels back" so to speak.

Edit: Although Grape and Max could come in just as she gets to that part and it could still be about one of them.

[Argent]

"Now look at this, I'm going to be sweeping up bits of shattered soul off the floor for the next six months..."

[Gamewolf67]

"Dragon it out" I'm a Dragon D:

Huh. That's quite a coincidence.

[TinFoilHats]

Aww, poor Peanut :[
And how do the muscles in Peanut's face enable him to pull that off? Ouch.

Or she could just have been goofing around. I mean, haven't you ever felt the urge to suddenly intone "I MUST FIND A MORE SUITABLE HOST BODY" in a crowded elevator? Or is that just me? Come on, folks, it's not just me, right?

Umm... can't say I have, Argent(although that does sound like fun).

[Titanium Dragon]

I think the real issue here is that he likes both of them, and assumed that he only liked one person... but instead it is two people.

Though I do agree with all the folks that he probably should realize that he's kind of been cheating with Grape (and Grape a bit with Max as well). Tch. Then again, he is kind of dense.

[Sleet]

I still wouldn't call that cheating but eh. *shrugs*

[shane b.]

Second panel is better when you picture Peanut saying all of his words in slow motion.

Since I barely have a good idea of what Peanut sounds like, I wouldn't know

[Sanchi Sunpelt]

Peanut's face in that last frame! XD

[RainbowDragon]

Oh, finally some explanation. I always wondered about the relationship between this celestial beings and their avatars. But poor Peanut, he is really shocked xDDD
