He's read the classics.

It's an in-development animated series following a team of Anthro-Dogs trapped in the Wastelands of a ruined Earth.

Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Rider
Peanut the consoling. I wonder how many times he got it wrong?
Every cat deserves their moment,
their path to stand, cloaked in glory;
whether it impresses others, though?
Well, that’s another, longer, story.
Her brother has tried to console,
offering faint words of hope
when, who should appear before her
but her favourite little Grey dope?
He’s exited the fallen temple
with a scene from a book not his.
It is kinda appropriate, though,
to end with a quote from the best in the Biz.

Great LOTR reference and an expected response from Grape. She will come after you if you try to fade and go to the north. Better stay and explain what happened.

Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Rider
Grape solves yet another problem with violence. I wonder what the events of the last strip looked like to the gang outside of the temple rubble. Did they see Res lift the stone only to then disappear without a trace? Since Res is alone here does that mean Keene and Breel stayed in the bed? Perhaps finishing the kissing session from Pandemonium?

Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Rider
I'm guessing Res just walked from the mansion to the temple ruins to let Grape and company know that he was alright, after all, the mansion is like a hundred feet away. (PS. I'm guessing that Keene and Breel stayed to finish)Champion Wallace wrote:Grape solves yet another problem with violence.

Rick, you missed a golden opportunity when you didn't name this strip "The White Writer."
Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Rider
Hate to break it to you, Res, but you're still grey. :U
I wonder if the end of this story will be Res heading back up north, feeling all sorts of inspired, sitting down at the computer, and then finding he still can't write anything...

Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Rider
Nice couple of quotes there from LOTR, and a very in-character response from Grape.
Speaking of character... I have to wonder what this whole adventure will do for Res' self-confidence. He's proved to himself that he can be brave, that he doesn't always put his foot in it when interacting with others. Might send him in some interesting new directions in relations with Grape, with his mom, even as an author. Will he finally 'come out' as the real writer, the pet able to stand on his own financially in the world? So many tantalising possibilities there!
(Edit, reading jonas' response: please not that, it would be far too cruel for my favourite cat!)

I know this is an super obvious ref, but I still love it
I wonder how Res wanted to reintroduce himself? As "the striped one,"?

Res looks more confident now.
Which he parlays into a second career in standup.

An entire arc dedicated to the Epilogue? I am so pumped for this. :3 :3 :3

If you sacrifice yourself in a dungeon so your friends can escape, only to end up surviving and escaping as well, you are legally obligated to quote Gandalf. It's in the rules.

Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Rider
Nice of Grape to welcome Res back to reality with a humility-restoring whack. Now, get back to that dad-blagged typewriter, stripes, pump out some Pridelands!
And always touching to be reminded of the heart bonds between Grape and Peanut. Over 100 wonderful characters later, their loving, loopy friendship is still for me the core of the Babylon Gardens universe.

Nice staff, Res.
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Rider
This whole adventure must of have inspired Res somehow.
Also
Grape hits people when she cries. But it's a caring hit.

Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Rider
Aww, poor Grape, she loves Res (maybe he's her lover? ). She doesn't do the same again with Maxwell. Precisely, you were "Res the fluffy striped grey". Uhm, so, Res returned in the woods where there was the temple? From a white light? Yeah, that's her typical reaction.
Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Rider
We have a longhaired tabby that has exactly before-Res's hangdog expression.
Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Rider
Well, Res, so much for personal transformation, eh? Puttin' on airs doesn't get you anywhere with Grape as your ancestor, Ptah, coulda told you. So, back in the animal travel cage and the authentic staff of Gandolfine authority goes into the luggage compartment. Still, next issue of Pridelands oughta be real out there!!

Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Rider
actually, to me Res already looks stronger than the average cat, maybe cause he's a tabby.MrBlueSky7 wrote:So much for keeping the Muscle. Way to go, GK...
Also, like Gandalf, he just defeated a magma demon (kinda like the Balrog!) can't wait to see where this epilogue leads, and we have so many scenarios open for the future...
oh cod, he actually changed the title *_*

Res got confident!
Looks like his confidence, just like the true treasure of friendship, was inside him all along!

Re: 2018/04/06 - The White Writer
For the people viewing this years from now, the comic was originally posted with the title "The White Rider", but within a day Rick changed the title to "The White Writer" because a forumite suggested it and Rick couldn't resist the pun. The only other time Rick has retconed something like this that I know of is Res's tag was green in his first appearance but he changed it to yellow because people were joking it signified Res liked catnip too much.
