Oh Tiger. I’ve missed you.
Marvin it’s good to see you too, I guess.
I believe in you Tiger. Never change. And don’t listen to those who would doubt your superior strength.

Re: 2019/10/28 - It Has Layers
Timeline be darned, we're getting Halloween stuff. This isn't the first time this has happened; there was the Halloween Interlude in the middle of Jata's wedding. The mummy wraps kinda undermines the invisable dog idea, Tiger, and I don't even understand the fourth panel. Is this dog dressing up like a dog? What's Tiger's plan for seeing out of all those costumes? Now I'm curious what Marvin is going to dress up as.

Re: 2019/10/28 - It Has Layers
So we’re moving to mighty Marvin
as Tiger tries on tape and sheets?
It’s nice to see the neighbourhood nitwit
and his casual Cat compatriot
before they head out to beat the streets.
A truly haunting Halloween hovers
above the heads of the pugnacious pet.
tricks with Tarot, style with slick Sabrina,
devilry with Draig and her twin brother
means the machinations is anyone’s bet.
Checking in on the strip’s classic cast;
the new spectral special will be a blast.

Oooh, a mini Halloween Arc? I'm looking forward to this one!
Re: 2019/10/28 - It Has Layers
Tiger, try to calm down,
Marvin's just had enough,
Marvin, thank you,
Putting up with him's got to be rough.
I see that he just wants more candy,
A royal sugar overload,
But please don't eat it all, Tiger,
Or your tummy's sure to explode.
Oh, you silly, screwy dog,
You're going to make some trouble,
Marvin, you go warn them,
Go on, cat, on the double!
This costume's only got four layers,
Looks like wearing it will be fun,
Just be sure to leave an air hole,
Or quickly you'll be done.
PS- Go get 'em, Tiger!

Tiger always has a plan to get more food. Its just usually not all that good
Re: 2019/10/28 - It Has Layers
Ahh, Trick or Treating.
I have fond memories of doing that myself, & looking forward to handing out treats to the kids who used to come to our door.
The practice has fallen off in the last few years though. Not enough kids in the village, & parents are concerned about the safety of those who remain, so we all just arrange a little costume party in the local pub for both kids & adults & with prizes for the best costume. Usually goes down well.

You just know this is the sanest idea Tiger came up with. I actually like the fake cheap dog costume idea. Poor Marvin, having to deal with Tiger’s shenanigans.

Overthinking things, Tiger.
Then again, with your diet, you just might have limited time for trick-or-treating.

You just know looking at Marvin he is thinking if it will be worth it to let Tiger suffocate.

Re: 2019/10/28 - It Has Layers
Eheheh, that's a good multi-costumes idea! Rarely Tiger has signs of brilliant ideas. But, I guess you're dying by heating, besides than by air lacking, don't you? Ah, so Tiger just wants to get sweets asking to the same houses but with different costumes, as seems... Why not hit more houses, indeed, as Marvin says?

Based on the title, would you say Tiger is more like onions or cake?

I like the "pretend my body is costume" gambit most of all!
Forget the animal transformations. Tiger getting real cunning? NOW, it's time to panic!

I think Marvin long ago reached the point of the long suffering brother that can't really stand Tigers antics but would never abandon him for fear of what he might do.NHWestoN wrote:Gonna be along night, Marvin.Amazee Dayzee wrote:Though if you get on his bad side, Tiger DOES have to personality of an ogre.

Deep down, he loves the crazy lug.

Tiger's Very Own Super Special Television Show shows what happens when Marvin isn't around to hold Tiger's leash.dr_eirik wrote:I think Marvin long ago reached the point of the long suffering brother that can't really stand Tigers antics but would never abandon him for fear of what he might do.NHWestoN wrote:Gonna be along night, Marvin.Amazee Dayzee wrote:Though if you get on his bad side, Tiger DOES have to personality of an ogre.

Marvin is the most underdeveloped developed character in the entire series. He has more depth than other one-off teritary characters like Daisy, Natalie, or Terrance. But compared to Tiger, he is there solely as Tiger's assistant like a stage magician's. He's a sidekick in the worse possible way. Back in the olden days, Marvin was friends with Max, actually did stuff like the haunted house escapade, and helped out more. Now he's been reduced to being there for one panel for one strip once a year. We've seen Marvin's intelligence and common sense but it is always overshadowed by Tiger's antics. Marvin even went Trick or Treating back in 2008.

Re: 2019/10/28 - It Has Layers
I know that and it is such a crying shame. I am actually really cut up about that. During the pie war that Tiger started we didn't even get to see Bailey hit Marvin in the face with a pie! I feel so cheated!
But seriously, Marvin does need to get the spotlight some more. Though I think Rick only things of him as a character that is there.
