[ Don't Touch ]

Title Text: didn't they teach you anything about touching artifacts of unknown origin re: do not do it

Cerbs likes scaring people to death, it takes a lot of the waiting out of her job. ;3

Kinda makes her seem more adorable and fun than her previous appearances, doesn't it? Well, except for maybe that grumpy middle head.

I'm guessing Mr.Dogsmell's refers to Joel?

All the hugs to Cerbs!
And yea, I only really noticed Fox's reaction after later seeing the link text, and indeed it is priceless.

Wow its Cerberus! I was wondering when that 3 headed cutie was coming back again! Adorbs!

Though gotta say gotta work on the punctuality or Joel might still be King!

No one ever learns not to touch magic things, there would be no fun if they did though. Nice to see Cerbs back.

Quick! Everyone ship Fox and Cerb! Because he deserves it for all the misfortune he's endured lately.

Of course!

I'm pretty sure the French accent came from Spy of TF2 fame, though.

It's not Dogsmell. I don't think they've told peanut and, wonder that he is, has named him that because he smells like a Dog.

She has a sense of humour,
this star amongst all dogs.
The three headed beast of surprise
One joking, one serious, one wise?
She waited until all was told
to confusing and simple effect.
Tarot's explanations require a subtitle
and Peanut can make them delightful.
'Dogsmell' now has his choice
and Fox is seeing this?
This avatar of celestial power has come.
Fox's role in the game has truly begun.

(Seriously, they're not even hiding anymore!)

Hmm, so Joel smells like dog. Is that because of the clothes, or because he used to be a dog? Either way, it explains why Bino Fido didn't detected him (if crying wasn't the reason). Was wondering when Cerberus would return. So, does Joel get to choose to be King again? Please yes please.

Peanut! You're confusing me! Is the thing he was meant to give them supposed to be given after the duel starts, or after it ends? I will assume the former, because the latter would indicate that he wasn't to give them the thing for months. But, then that makes me wonder just how long he was holding onto that?

Was Peanut informed of Joel's prior dealings back in the day when he was a dognapper? With Cerebus acknowledging Joel's name in front of him, would Peanut be able to put two and two together?

Full name Joel Zecheriah Robinson (AKA Mr. Grumpy Pants).
Thanks for that! I guess I didn't remember that one because I'm so used to thinking of him as King 8-)

So am I the only one who thought that Peanut and Fox looked rather cute in the first panel?

And it's about time you showed up, Cerberus! It's been how long since the fate was stolen?!

So now Fox met his first cosmic being. Should be fun.

For every one going on about the k-9 unit i refer to you this...

https://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/03/ ... nfessions/

...meaning that if they did try to arrest Joel they would need orders to do so. Just like Fido couldn't ticket Bill.

Then again rules are never followed.

It would be interesting if Rick did a short flashback story of what it was like when Cerbs and Pete were dating. Maybe even just a single sketch of them at some heavenly restaurant or some such :)

Joel should keep the name Peanut gave him. Then he'll be 'King Dogsmell'.

So Tarot keeps a lot of calling cards? I initially thought Cerebus appearing was just pure coincidence.

True. I know they dated and he broke up with her, but was it ever revealed why he did (other than possible temper troubles)?

Cerb is back(yay?), and Peanut is still here, let's hope he stays for most of the arc.

I assume it was for during the duel, that's when he gave it to them, and he seems to understand what he was saying.

The news probably spread around the neighborhood quickly enough, plus some more when Joel 'escaped'. Peanut has probably heard his name at least once before defined as the kidnapper, so him realizing is a valid possibility. That said, this arc has been previously defined as compacted, so I do not know what among the possibilities will make it in.
D-Rock wrote:And it's about time you showed up, Cerberus! It's been how long since the fate was stolen?!
Three years, one month and one day.
Peanut wrote:Here, I give you thing.
I am enjoying the way that that is worded.

Plus he looks like a mad scientist running to his time machine! :lol:

Joel: TO THE TELETRANSPORTER!!!

KARATE JOEL! That reaction is priceless. And I think Fox wet himself. :lol:
And now Joel is turned into Green Lantern! Well, he has a green lamp, isn't that how it works? (That would be so funny X3). Also the ring is missing.
I know everyone want King back but I'll miss Joel so much. If only there was a way to keep them both. :(

PS: Is it just me or Peanut looks younger? And what is the black thing over Fox's head? At first I thought it was an exclamation but then I noticed the thing has not the point and is still there in fourth panel.

Edit:

Forgot to mention, this is the first time Peanut is wearing his bag.
