[ The Reason For The Season ]

Title Text: Wait, is THAT what Christmas is all about? Now I'm confused

Merry Christmas, you kooky kids!

Out of curiosity, who is who in the audience? I only recognize Earl, Jill and Bill.

And I assume that Jake who we are seeing for the first time is Tarot's owner. Bill has Fox and Bailey, Earl and Jill have Peanut and Grape, Jerry has Tiger, Marvin and Zach, Jeff has Max and Bino, Miles and Lucretia have King and Ryan has Fido.

I WILL GIVE YOU A LIST!

Bearded Man: Earl
Only Lady: Jill
Man with Camera: Jerry
Blonde with Sunglasses: Bill
Blonde with Readingglasses: Jake(FIRST APPEARANCE EVAH, YEAH!)
Man with Goatee: Jeff
Man in Green Coat: Ryan

THIS IS AWESOME!

Also, Merry Christmas! God bless y'all!

OK. Thank you, and like I said before, I assume Jake is Tarot's owner?

Well, I can see the guy who punched joel in the face...I think.
I'm drawing blanks for the rest of them, I was just happy to see Earl and Jill to be honest.
On a different topic, did anyone else come here guiltily hoping for a christmas present from Rick?
I was so happy to see the update

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 1:18 am

I didn't even know there was gonna be a comic. I came here to read the forum. But yes, I like it.

I think Jake is supposed to be Joey's owner.

Yaaay! Great show, great show! The reactions are marvelous~

Yay for unexpected Christmas comic update!
Merry Christmas fellow Western Hemispherites! And Happy Day-After-Christmas friends from the Eastern Hemisphere!

Dang. Does Tarot even have an owner? She's just around and she was a meat puppet for ~~Trinket~~ Dragon so I'm not sure if she does. I know Sabrina has an owner.

Other way around, the blonde guy is Ryan, green coat is Jake. I know he had dark hair in his first appearance but he was actually supposed to be blonde.

Additional, to separate them:
Ryan is Fido's owner
Jeff is Maxwell's (and Bino's) owner
Jake is Joey's owner

Mr. D'Angelo is absentee

Wow, Rick. Just wow.

*claps*

Murry Chrimbus e'erbody.

(And yes Tarot has an owner but we haven't seen them.)

And on his wedding day, George Bailey drinks the worse of worst poisons and has little people dancing around the cake.

And the reindeer will want revenge.

<3 the human audience.

Thu Dec 25, 2014 1:29 am

I'm glad we finally get to see Joey's owner. and the faces of all of the owners to the right of Mr. Sandwich.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 1:30 am

Tarot's owners must be like Stanley D'Angelo and have an occupation that is major.

Post by **Dissension** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 1:32 am

Contrary to what Sleet said, I believe Tarot lives with Sabrina, but has no official owner.

Thank you for clearing that, sir.
Thank you for drawing this awesome strip, it'll help the wiki a lot.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 1:36 am

Nope. Notice how Ryan, Jeff and Jake are clustered together. Their pets are all siblings. Bill and the Sandwiches are together. Grape saved Fox's life. Jerry is the odd one out and the only one to have three pets.

Leave me alone, I can't sleep.

And I think I have a crush on Ryan.

Ooh! Which arc confirms that? I would like the info for the wiki.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 1:48 am

Diss just said that Tarot doesn't have an official owner but lives with Sabrina. I guess you could say that technically Stanley D'Angelo would be her owner.

As for Ryan not being a blonde in initial strips, it really doesn't matter since they were in B&W and there was no way anyone could tell.

Was Jake Bino's owner originally? Ryan said in a strip that Jake owned him, not Jeff. Unless Jake gave Bino to Jeff (trading one weird brother for another)

Rick has said that was a mix-up he made.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 1:51 am

I'm curious to know what King's feelings are about performing in front of humans.
It's still weird to me seeing them and remembering that I once was one - but maybe that will wear off in time?

When? I'm looking through the posts and some of them have Jake down as being Max and Bino's owners. I don't see him stating it was a mistake anyway. I'm not saying he's a liar but when did he say that?

Nah, Rick confirmed that was his own mistake. Speaking of Rick,

Rick! If you are still here, please let us now Jeff and Jake's surnames, please.

Finally "meeting" the owners, AN AMAZING GIFT !

Happy Holidays to all in this awesome community !

EDIT: Also, the panel with Peanut sitting in the throne is pure gold.

*gasp!* comic on a thusday!

MERRY CHRISTMAS RICK! YOU ARE AWESOME!

I just realized that Tiger has some green paint on his face. o-o
Oh well. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This comic just made my Openermas Day

It's great to see new faces as well, and especially great that they performed for a larger audience. Here's to a great future for the PB&J TC!

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 4:31 am

I just love how impressed Zach is with the whole thing!

Merry Christmas/Openermas, everyone!

Macsen · Post by **Macsen** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 4:52 am

Earl's face is priceless. He's like, "What the dook did we just watch?" And of course, Bill with his usual Duke Nukem poker face.

Merry Christmas!

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 6:15 am

And the play, the game is done now
The manic energy and evil is shown how
to value the meaning of the festive day.
A day of charm, vengeance, and friends
and, apparently, a day when violence never ends.
The Sword is found inside the Grinch
and George shows no mercy – not even an inch -
on the day of peace, goodwill and ragged cheer -
but not on this day, not ever, not here.
Mrs Sandwich knows where to place some blame,
after those films the kids were never quite the same.
Others recorded it all but comprehended none;
the Wolves won't let THAT spoil their big hearted fun.
Only one question remains on this Christmas show...
Did the Humans hear the little voice of Spo?

IdleCurator · Post by **IdleCurator** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 6:36 am

That escalated quickly, the swoosh lines on the pole that sir Peanut wields looks like an axe making it even more violent for a so far gentle play minus the Krampus trying to kill George and Blitzen dying.
Hurray for random and wonderful update. I was wondering why the last forum had dropped dead conversation wise then I found this.
Wow the Peanut and Grape theatre company has realy stepped up its game, it used to be no audience and cameras banned for the sake of spontaneous acting but now they have backdrops well made props and 7 humans and an unknown amount of wolves, someone's even tapering it despite Peanuts earlier objections to Joey.
I did love it though when in the strip below Joeys appears to break the forth wall.

I mentioned that the first time.

Speaking of first times, is this the first time they have had an audience? Previously they said an audience would just be weird and make them self-conscious.

Christmas present for their families?

What's this, a present from Rick Griffin?... I love it! Wonderful update!
I don't know why the humans in the audience look so confused, the plot made perfect sense to me... All hail Peanut: the slayer of Grinches!

Macsen · Post by **Macsen** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 10:05 am

BTW: I think Jeff and Jake are related. It's possible Ryan is related to them, too.

I believe Rick has confirmed that Jeff and Jake are related, and Ryan is their childhood friend.

"Did you see that, honey? Our cubs demolishing the city? They're going to make fine citizens someday :3"

I'm going to believe that it was intentional for Jerry to dress like Jon from Garfield.

Thank you for the present, Rick! Merry Christmas!

It's great to see the pets owners' faces for the first time.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Post by **ArcWolf** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 2:39 pm

Well, it's been confirmed:

Mr. and Mrs. Sandwich do indeed have eyes.
We can all rest easy now.

MrBlueSky7 · Post by **MrBlueSky7** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 2:49 pm

I felt kinda bad for the Grinch, the way Peanut duped him that way. BTW, did that sword just come out of him or did Peanut pull it out from him?

Also, somewhere in the Cosmic verse, Great Kitsune and Cerberus are riffing this play to no end.

P.S. Merry Christmas, y'all! (especially you, Rick! And thank you for bringing this strip up early!)
