Title Text: look, in the long run you live forever so I don't see what you're complaining about

I wonder who called in that favor, though. Hmm...

Gotta love Peanut´s philosophy, "look there´s another demigod ... lets sniff her"

Well considering that she waited until he had the thing from Dragon/Tarot to show up, I'm saying it was likely Dragon who called it in.

Oh, there's Peanut!

You have to admit, sometimes not being told you could summon the caretaker of your fate is a good thing. Don't want to rush into something like that.

Also, curse you, subjective time!

As painless as possible eh? I don't think so for Joel/King. He was torn away from his wife, had to be turned into a dog in the first place(at that time he hated it), AND got socked in the face by Fox. It was a semi "WTF are you?" punch. Wasn't it?
I'm thinking of starting a Fan Fiction, should I do it? Send me a PM with some ideas and names of characters!

It's different between us, you and I,
you mortals who live on the ground
and us eternals who reign in the sky.
I have to say... what are you doing?
I can see you down there, you know?
Why? Why exactly are you sniffing?
Is that what we do? I didn't know...
Do you mind? We're looking dynamic
as we two talk to the ones here in trouble
and tell how we haven't waited at all
as a year is a second and four is just double.
We've taken no time, just waited on the call
when it worked along with... something more
I can't tell you about. no harm?
Excuse me right head, stop watching the floor
and agree to move our right arm?
It's difficult to be impressive, young Fox,
when three brains live in the one mighty box...

I wonder if each of cerbs' heads have different personalities. Like one head is more kind, one is capricious, and the third is more logical.

It does seem so, doesn't it? The Right head (looking at Peanut) seems to be the fun one.

I was wondering if they matched the outlooks in order of Fido-Bino-Joey being Heroic/Adventurous-Serious/Selfish-Goofball/Funloving.


I like how the one head is still looking down at Peanut in the second panel. It would be interesting if after showing scenes of Cerbs talking with Joel and Fox, we cut back to a shot of Peanut, who by this time has somehow found a step ladder in order sniff her butt.

I dunno about you guys but when i look at Cerb i can totally see her singing a certain song by Elton John, recited by William Shatner then by Stewie Griffin.

Indeed. :3
With those sunglasses Joel could easily be mistaken as Bill's son. :P

Now, I have a theory. I think King and Bailey aren't together by matter of fate but was actually Dragon who paired them off just as she did with Peanut, Grape and Fido (as Pete suggested in The trial in heaven).
Pete knew beforehand that Dragon was such a shipper and that's why he decided to pick Joel and made him suffer forcing Dragon to intervene (indirectly) on this, since she doesn't like to see a mortal suffer on their account (and she wouldn't let Pete wins, of course).
So the Dark Paladin was a plan B after all. Pete was aiming for the White Avenger since the beginning and took advantage on Dragon's nature and naivety in order to achieve it.
If this is true then I wonder how Joel will react when he finds out that his love for Bailey was also part of another strategy created by a whim of a demigod in order to win this game which was not meant to be part of his life but still keeps messing with it anyway.

Interesting theory. I don't know about the White Avenger being his goal from the very beginning, but I could see him improvising after multiple failed attempts for a Dream Sunderer by letting Dragon think she's getting the upper hand one last time, turning an disadvantage into an advantage.

So Pete is playing a game of Xanatos speed chess? In that case, Dragon might not win unless both sides are playing the same game within a game, in which case, I'd say it's anyone's game.

And I love each one of them!
BTW one of the clever tricks I like that Rick threw in is that when one of cerberus's heads talk it's still blue just a different shade of blue.

Makes sense, I mean Dragon can see the future, so she definately would foresee the best time.

Awesome. :)

Confused Fox is more confused than how confused he was at the beginning. :?:

It's nice to know that Cerb's other head serve other purposes other than tripling her bite damage. :) If she were forced to live in a mortal body for a subjective year, would each head have its own body? :?:

Somehow I don't think that will ever happen in the comic.
I'm fairly sure that either Pete will become King's son or Dragon will become mortal to date Peanut though. :lol:

I get the feeling that Cerberus's middle head controls her body, other than the other two heads from the neck and up. Maybe the other two heads strengthen the actions the middle one makes if their purpose is the same (like when attacking Pete).

It does seem so, doesn't it? The Right head (looking at Peanut) seems to be the fun one.
Centered head is centered
*brick'd*

I thought from the "small part of me" Valentine's comic that her left head (from her perspective) was the goofy one.

...so much filler... When are we going to see Zack open the temple for them? Too bad we didn't see this conversation back at the wolf house:

...JoeKing: told you so.
Fox: oh shut up.

(in the yellow box) About six weeks of exposition comics later...

Fox: So you're saying that this gryphon changed you into King, tried to use you as a player in some cosmic game of D&D, and when you ultimately refused he took Bailey instead?

Joel: Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it.

Fox: So where is Bailey now?

Joel: I'm not sure. The gryphon mentioned training, and when I played D&D in college, training was usually in the player's temple. But I have no idea where the temple is.

Miles: You mean that old temple in the Milton's back lawn?

Fox & Joel stare blankly at each other for a moment, then Joel looks at Miles, who has now entered the room with a tray of lemonade and sweets

Joel: (meekly) Maybe? Does this temple happen to belong to a gryphon?

Miles: (index finger on chin) I think so. Daryl mentioned something about one being there, anyway.

Fox: Great! Now we know where to go!

Joel: Yeah, but we don't know how to get in.

Miles: (picking up empty tray and walking out of room) I bet Zack can help you.

Fox: The rabbit?

Miles: (continuing) After all, they don't call him "The Opener of Ways" for nothing.

As Miles walks out, Joel and Fox stare at each other again

Fox: Did you see any of that coming?

Joel: *shakes head*


By the way, has anyone proposed the idea that Karishad is Pete's post-loss mortal life?
Dag nabbed petty annoyances...
