She could have asked him for uninterrupted naps!Frank wrote:Grape, you could've asked for anything anything
She could be protecting Max by not bringing him up...I doubt that Ptah would want any competition, so if he knew about Max, bad things could happen...SuperStar wrote:
Also, Grape is a jerk, her reasoning is that he isn't her type, rather than that she already has a boyfriend.
Aside from protecting Max, I think she was just messing with himTheBlasterizer wrote:She could be protecting Max by not bringing him up...I doubt that Ptah would want any competition, so if he knew about Max, bad things could happen...SuperStar wrote:

To be fair, it's not the first time a joke like that has been done.SuperStar wrote:Ehh... this seems so inappropriate...![]()
Max maybe a jerk, but at least he knows how to press Grape's buttons. Their first date gave me that impression. =PXane wrote:Wait, Max is a jerk too. Just not slightly-evil like Jata and Ptah (and maybe Satau, it seems...)
This counts as well. It's safe to say pet's concept of nudity is definitely not on the human level =PD-Rock wrote:To be fair, it's not the first time a joke like that has been done.SuperStar wrote:Ehh... this seems so inappropriate...![]()

Nah, a girl doesn't have to refer to her boyfriend to turn someone down. That'll become a thing of the past.SuperStar wrote: Also, Grape is a jerk, her reasoning is that he isn't her type, rather than that she already has a boyfriend.

Hormones first. Brainz later.CosmicCoyote wrote:"No accounting for taste."
No kidding.Grape, when you list 'types', personality should come first.

You go girl! Ain't nobody going to tell you who to date.Grape wrote:Don’t forget your humble demeanor.
That running gag is never going to get retired is it?Obbl wrote:Title Text: boy, Ptah's looking buff today, even moreso than usual

But now it is us nerds that rule the world. :lol
Not necessarily exclusively. I mean, it's been mentioned already, but look at Jata, who's unquestionably feline.TendoTwo wrote:That running gag is never going to get retired is it?Obbl wrote:Title Text: boy, Ptah's looking buff today, even moreso than usual
And before Ptah's comment that he feels like a dog, I never realized that the "buff" characters pretty much just referred to canines and the implications that Grape prefers that body type...
The thing is, though - they are pets with human thoughts. Even if they have the most logical reasoning in the comic as humans, they are times they are more reliant on their natural instincts than their logic. Bino, Duchess and sometimes Kevin are examples of this. From the cat's side of things, there's no hints that i can recall, but i give them the simple cat logic they are known for.TheOne wrote:Some of you need to be reminded that physical reactions come automatically and don't require a follow-through. Grape has told Peanut before that she swoons over big cats, but she has never actually committed an act of cheating. (Though if a better opportunity came up, she might have.)
This is pushing Grape to her limits of thought and reason. Jata was a jerk, but Grape never had enough opportunity to actually do anything stupid with him. But here, there is plenty of opportunity for her to make a really bad decision. Right now she's just having a physical reaction to seeing the body type that she idolizes.
It should be interesting to see whether Grape can still turn him down or whether she'll go love-crazy just from seeing a hunk. Everything about her personality says that she'll calm herself down and still reject Ptah because he's a jerk, but everything in her hormones is wanting to... hug...him. *ahem.*
Personally I really hope Grape chooses to ignore her natural instincts and think things through, then just walk away. Before she walks out she should probably also say something like, "I like that you can do that. I really do. But my type is honest and gentle. My type also allows me make my own choices. You've proven that you don't want to do either. Plus, I hate arrogance and you've been nothing but arrogant since I first saw you." Grape would never say it with those words, but that's the best way I could think to tell someone no without being rude.
Also on a side note, let's not forget Peanut showing up collarless at the end of the "Bino loses his collar" arc.
