The success of Duchess in her new arc leads to her marriage to Bino, thereby transforming Housepets into a garrish blend of "Maggie and Jiggs: Bringing up Father" and "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous."

well, considering it's duchess we're talking about and purebred dogs can have an unhealthily narrow gene-pool...

"Lifestyles of the Spoiled and Possibly Inbred?"

The apocalypse begins! Everybody dies and Housepets! becomes Heavenpets! where everyone must adapt to life in the Land of Eternal Candy!
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.

An arc where everyone talks about things happening but nothing ACTUALLY happens, all for the sake of "Subverting audience expectation" or something

which turn out to have been a live reenactment of something Max wrote after noticing that both Res and Peanut whom grape is close with have literary skills and his inadequacy issue a rear up again.

Which then turns out to be a dream by one of Max's ancestors, as was the rest of the comic up until this point as it is revealed that everything up until that point was a vision of the future, given to everybody's ancestors by the Great Kitsune and the real comic was meant to take place in Satau's time period.........did I do good at jumping the shark?

needs more squandered potential. throw in a few misaimed refrences and an unfitting cameo and we're good.

Alternatively, after this arc just scrap Babylon Gardens entirely and get all the new characters, locations and arcs from some dude's Mary Sue self insert fanfiction, if such a thing doesn't exist just do what kingdom hearts does and completely make up the stories as you go along, using prequel arcs to tie up loose ends caused by writing like this and then leave an arc on a cliffhanger for 10 years and leave the comic on a permanent Guest Week and why is this turning into me calling out Kingdom Hearts
