Housepets!

Poor Tarot.

Everyone else is so intrigued by that DS

You need to take a chill pill Tarot, everything is going to be just fine

Can someone please tell me the title of the book in the first panel? I am having trouble making it out.

Wow. She's just at the end of her rope, isn't she? Feel bad for her, honestly.

Can't help but think that this is how Rick feels when fans show disdain over the Celestial Nerds

*hugs the pompom*

I anticipated she'd one day just burst like this. She really had been bottling her feelings up all this time! Ahhh, I love this scene so much

EDIT: Wonder what Grape is up to right now...

You can really see the beginnings of domestication in those ancient dogs - essentially wolves with curly tails. =3

It appears that Peanut is tampering with the timeline more than anything Max has said ("Us-Bone Egyptian Mythology" ). I guess he gets a pass because he's Tarot's boyfriend.

Tarot...I think your rage broke.

I think the real conflict here is less to do with any real paradox and more to do with the fact that for the very first time Tarot is faced with a problem she cant immediately solve.. Clearly that simple fact is killing her emotionally. Granted that when it comes to Housepets i have learned to just roll with the story.. Every time i think its going to get too strange to take Rick turns around and makes the comic even better than it was before. That's not an easy thing to do!

This and maybe she feels responsible for get everyone stuck there.

Can't Satau just do the 4th-dimensional thinking, since he has avatar powers at the current time???

Also, is Grape at cat garrison being worshiped for her royal fur?

US-Bone Egyptian Mythology

It's a shame Peanut won't get any streetpasses there... Wait, he can't even charge that 3DS there, can he?

... Oh dear.

Dang....

Peanut bro, i think its time to put down the game and go see to your girl, she's not doing too well right now

She could really use some support right now.

and then peanut has to sit through Resetti giving him a rant about not turning his DS off without saving first...

That's what the batteries and power packs are for.

The contents of the pack
are laid out for all to see;
Things begin with a game
and end in papyrus quality.
He grants useless knowledge
to canines and their sundry
followers and kin in time's
early stage without quandary.
Sabrina's the cool Tarot's lost
as Maxwell plays the fool he
misses the vital real problem
around. Where can Grape be?

Peanut really ought to stop breaking the spacetime continuum and go comfort his overstressed girlfriend.

I think Peanut might need to provide a bit of comfort, but then he'd be away from hid game.

I think the book title is US Egypt Anatomy if people are still asking.

I had an idea that they could all sneak into the temples as mummies, but then...Neolithic era.

Well, it's like being shown the Voynich Manuscript - even if the manuscript had the secret to I don't know, faster than light travel hidden within its pages, delivered by aliens from the other side of the galaxy - it doesn't help you any because you can't understand it or decipher it. Yeah, he's showing them advanced technology, but considering he's well before the first documented instances of writing, it's not like they're comprehending anything they're being shown. Clarke's Third Law and all that.

The problem with letting Dragon know is that she WILL understand, and that has tremendous consequences. Which is why Tarot is developing an ulcer trying to figure out a solution. Poor Tarot.

Plus the Adventures of Spot. I hope Rick gives Spot a cameo in a temple wall in a museum when they get back.

This is going to be fun to summarize on the wikia.
Still poor Tarot, it's like going to a movie and being the only one who understood it, and having to explain it to everyone.

Also Peanut, put the DS away, you're in the BC era for goodness sake.

But what if he killed a legendary and needs to go back to last save. Then he has an excuse.

I agree with Argent, Spot does deserve a cameo in the wall painting. Maybe Peanut could "accidently" leave his sketch book behind and have Spot immortalized as a god. The Spot comic is on the table and Peanut is distracted so..........

Why not? In the AWFUL story 'Time-Flight', the Doctor left a Concorde in pre-historic times and got away with it...

Must be adorable in a squeaky voice.

I like the background events. It's cute little touches like that I like. Shows that care is being put into a comic.

Tarot needs a tummy rub in panel 1.

Ya know I can't tell. While Tarot was "blowing off steam" there was she still chilling on her back? Im now picturing her ranting this way and its as sad as it is hilarious

I used to have a Pom. There's that temper.

There are probably pictures in the book.

Peanut probably already messed up the timeline by showing that DS.
Wonder what Grape is doing?

Wow, Guard Dog girl sure looks... umm... Powerful and adorable in the same time. *becomes her fan*

I have to .GIF Tarot. the Poor Pomerian needs to be heard. X3

Sadly, while Tarot puts so much effort into keeping thigns the way they are, I can see Maxwell's suggestion about Dragon actually turning out to be the real answer in the end. Tarot's trying her best to stick to the rules, but Kitsune already hinted that the answer was to get out there and explore your options.

Hopfully after her nap, Tarot learns to let loose and get messy. And play Peanut's 3DS :3

I think Tarot simply misses her power(s) and station, and the knowledge which came with that.

Now that she's deprived of Dragon's divine might she's reduced to a mere dog who knows some fancy card tricks.

Wait, wouldn't her loud explanation of the Time Paradox to Satau's clan already be causing a Paradox of its own?

Only if it didn't happen in the original timeline.

Dogs reunion, with cats allowed, for this time. Your 3DS must have lot of energy, Peanut. Oh, look, Maxwell wants other explains. Well, I wouldn't say that Spirit Dragon seemed nice when you met her... Okay, Tarot, we understood and know that Spirit Dragon is a cheater about the game, that Great Kitsune is a jerk and that time travels are paradoxical, but your frustration to now be a common dog is really new. Right, better calm down and take a nap. At the end, that stuff doesn't involve you anymore...

4th-dim thinking could a thing of her class, which means nope, unless Dragon decides to respec Satau to whatever Tarot was.

To all Peanut/Tarot messing the timeline: if mortal minds can be messed with OR the knowledge is useless (-> doesn't lead to a change of behaviour that is relevant to the timeline at large) it doesn't really matter.

One possible solution (assuming the problem with the deniability field was about stuff like missing mana being to big changes to just deniability-field away) would have been to go in, use dragons mana to tamper with the memory of everyone that saw them + change Sataus future memories so that a mindreading SD would just see a certain Kitsune. And ofcourse make sure that enough mana is missing to seem like punishment from Kitsune, but little enough that SD doesn't need to change her Strategy (which would lead to time paradox) but can rather pretend nothing happened (to avoid the embarrassment of having to admit to Pete that she tried to cheat).
