Sort of looks like an actual cartoon since I added an HDR filter.
This ending reminds me of the Stewie Kills Lois episode on Family Guy

Time to take bets! My bet is to Tarot and Peanut will also break up soon, because Tarot was with Peanut because of Spirit Dragon!

With or without King voudoun dolls and Joel in a cage suspended from the Gothic arched ceiling?

Poor Dragon and Max. I wonder what happened to the other three.

Which ones? I saw a lot of opportunities in this arc so far.

I realize it was inevitable that we'd get the IWAAD...OWI ending, but it felt somehow rushed. I'm not usually a fan of padding, but I can't help feeling it would have been nice to see Dragon and Max talk it out a little (even if it were just two strips ending in little Seinfeldian observation/jokes) ... or had the OWI be Max waking up with that copy of U&U in his bed.

On the plus side its nice to see that Love and Devotion is touring again, complete with its unicorn band member

Every sequence with a "dream" ending is still part of the story. Also, the game's handbook

A bunch of people predicted it.

I was all "no, Rick won't do this again".

That's because you don't learn from experience.

You, shut up, you're imaginary.

She got it from the alternate universe where Peanut's a famous cartoonist, Shakespearean actor, and nuclear physicist. He turned her down, too, by the way, she goes through Peanuts like they were peanuts.

"she goes through Peanuts like they were peanuts" , suddenly that alt next a few strip back makes so much sense

Not at all. In fact maybe she would have had more luck presenting herself as girlfriend material had she used this more relatable form to get to know Peanut (and to let him get to know her) instead of hiding behind Tarot.

Of course, this room and her appearance could also have been created simply to get sympathy from the one who dared yell at her.

Dragon you crazy, pull yourself together. Someone talk some sense to her so PeanutxDragon can happen.

They've been pulling this "Just a dream" thing too many times. Just ask Keene Milton.

I wish I could see more details of the room, like the title of the books under and around Dragon's bed.

Poor Dragon. She needs to find a nice multi-dimensional being who cares for her.

Actually, Pete reminds me a little of the character 'Trelane' in the Original Star Trek series episode, The Squire of Gothos,. He vaunts to his vast power, but he's still just a child in his own reality.

Well, the purple book at the end of the bed is the Universes & Unrealities rulebook; in the box under the bed one book is just titled Love Poems.

Okay, hands up -- who saw the Unicorn Plushie?

So is this the end of the arc? Or at least the end of the gallifrax dimension?

Nooooo but...but I wanted to see the quadrupedal forms for the rest of the housepets cast

Oh well, at least we gets to see dragon looking cute :3

Great stuff!

Not the end of the arc, because there's no "END" caption in the last panel. Plus we haven't had the ironic "or was it" where he pulls a pair of mukluks out from behind the bed.

Don't you mean hiding IN Tarot?

I think he's more like Q. They're both "All Powerful" beings than tend to tick off everybody they come in contact with.

One of the biggest surprises so far is that Maxwell, of all people, got a "Wake up" moment from someone. I would expect Bino and Maxwell to be on the bottom of that list, but then again ~ they do get more characterization. X3

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 10:07 am

Maxwell and Bino would both make better avatars for Pete. Presented properly, they'd even volunteer.

But that's a really neat attention to detail. And I like that Dragon is literally an angsty teenager. Didn't see that coming.

a bedroom AND clothes??

those things say SOO much about a person without saying anything! nice way of showing off some of dragons personality there Rick!

also the book next to her bed is "Universes and Unrealities"

gotta wonder what the other rooms look like.. if Pete has the photos he took of King hanging in his room or on a desk... oh mah lawd.

Ah, of course. I always forget that this always, always ends in being "just a dream" (...OR IS IT, and et cetera). Haven't got much to say that hasn't been said already about this strip, some great details, the room says quite a bit about Spirit Dragon.

Can't wait for the next strip, Rick!

The novelization of the TNG finale connects the two.

Trelane is DeLancie-Q's illegitimate child, IIRC.

Foxstar · Post by **Foxstar** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 12:58 pm

It's been hinted for a long time (And outright said in book 4) that Dragon and the others were teenagers so this was to be expected really. And I like this a lot. Should really help deal with all the people who scream bloody murder when they show up.

First, the relationship between Q and Trelane has been long debated in the Trek fandom. I always thought of Q as an older/aged version of Trelane, but I don't claim to be right.

Next, Princesses & Unicorns? Ohmigosh, Rick's a brony?! (Welcome to the club...) Just please don't start putting them in the HP world... Universe visiting would be ok, but only if the visitor had a look of "what the blank is that thing" on his/her face(s).

Lastly, did anyone else notice the two expressions on Max's face in panel 6? Use your thumb and cover the left side of his face, then move your thumb to the right side. Reminds me of another comic book character.
