[WhoElseButQuagmire]

Don't forget, it's all symbolic. If Pete really was playing an FPS with Bailey as his avatar he'd have materialized a better rig than that."

I can assure you that Pete has nothing to do with the "Funday Pawpet Show"! FPS is a happy go lucky, four hours of jolly fun, and Pete is an arrogant self centered son of a ..... Oh, wait, you mean that other FPS? Oh, Well, that makes more sense then. Never-mind! (Sorry, can't resist an opportunity for ether free publicity or a chance to reference the Late Great Gilda Radner.)

Wonder if Pete eats Spicy Ambrosia or Cool Ranch Nectar Doritas?

[TendoTwo]

I imagine it would probably go something like this if your videogame characters could talk back.

[Jamonius]

Is it just me or does anyone else here get the impression with this strip that Pete doesn't seem all that concerned with winning the duel?

[MrParaduo]

Anyone else think Pete looks like he'd be working as an Operator for Divine IT? Guess he has to pay for tuition somehow.

[King_Crimson]

goodness gracious pete calm down with that bicep tone. -fans self-

Yay Funday Pawpet Show!

We need Funday Housepets Show!

"And what are the nacho chips a symbol of?"

"They're a symbol of I'm hungry, now taunt her again!"

"Sure they do..."

"They are a symbol of the god's amusement. Amuse your gods!"

[ZeroTheFated]

Did anyone else notice that in the second and fourth panel Pete's shirt changes?

[Miles the Wolf]

Well, that didn't work, did it?

*reads alt-text*

Okay, now it's pretty funny!

And apparently they have both the board and online version of the game. Might be a tad overkill.

I need that Tshirt.
The changing design would save so much room in my dresser

But then you would have to wash the same shirt everyday. And if you're traveling and the place for some reason doesn't have a washer, it'll show eventually.

I think the computer version looks cooler.

[Welsh Halfwit]

Did anyone else notice that in the second and fourth panel Pete's shirt changes?

It's been mentioned. An it's cool.

[Leomon2004]

When I saw Pete in this strip I burst out laughing. His room looks only slightly cleaner than mine.

[DragoonDart]

Is Pete holding a book that says "U&U?"

[Wolfbane]

The absurdity of this entire plot is now clear as day.

[D-Rock]

Am I the only one who finds it funny that the only time Pete decides he should put on some clothes is when he's sitting alone in his room?

... Dang, you're right! Dragon did the same thing! Still begs the question why.

I think the computer version looks cooler.

Well, true, we have viewable environments, but I would think there's a certain charm to board games. This does make keeping up with stats easier, too, I would imagine.

ARe you quoting Monty Python there? Because that's quite clever X3

[Miles the Wolf]

Oh no, we've got a Pete fan here.

[Shadowstar23]

Pete's room feels like a college dorm room. Pete is being rather cool headed about the duel. Then again, Bailey just sent Tarot flying halfway across the continent.

[Saturn381]

I think that's what they actually look like in reality and the stuff we've seen in the past was just a cover up.

[valerio]

it's all about perception of the mind, so they could be just be luminous floating blobs for what we know. All we see is what THEY want us to see. And thus can their game switch from board game to Playstation mode in complete apparent randomness.

[Argent]

Do they take turns being the scarecrow too?

[valerio]

Do they take turns being the scarecrow too?

no, what chicken!

[deepskycyan]

This strip cracked me up so much, and I don't even know why.

Pete's just the best strategist, isn't he, locked in a battle of life and mortal life(?) and he can't even reveal his advanced tactics to his own troop.
Unless he doesn't even have a battle plan at all. In that case, Pete would be a big 'noob'. Who knew?

[Cesco]

Back with Bailey. Do your best in the battle, Bailey, don't care about Pete which is evidently playing also with you and your patience, the important is win (or not?). So Tarot went in retreat so far away, it could be taken as a defeat... This time Pete is looking cool in a so nerdy theme. He looks a call center operator in the second panel. That kind of taunt joke doesn't work between you pets, and believe me, for you pets the adoption is only a great thing for your life.

Did anyone else notice that in the second and fourth panel Pete's shirt changes?

Yes, probably he did a fingers snap to change the print during the time of the third strip.

Am I the only one who finds it funny that the only time Pete decides he should put on some clothes is when he's sitting alone in his room?

... Dang, you're right! Dragon did the same thing! Still begs the question why.

It's because of the privacy given by your own room, you do what you want in it and it tells a lot of you (reminds me of Room Raiders TV show). Yeah, also Dragon's room look is similar (was a mess!), but well, they're indeed the Cosmic Nerds. How would Great Kitsune's room look?

[Gamewolf67]

Sorry Rick, I don't think Tarot's wearing a belt.



Or any clothes for that matter...

[bhPixelFire]

This reminds me SO much of Monty Python.

"I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION!"

[furlong90]

is King technically not adopted? he just lives with the Wolf Family

[Buretsu]

Is Pete holding a book that says "U&U?"

"Universes and Unrealities". It's the name of the game, after all.

Also: GLaDoS Bailey ain't.

[Dissension]

U, Too, Can Play U&U, the title is.

[valerio]

U, Too, Can Play U&U, the title is.

apparently, Pete is not really versed in the game

[WhoElseButQuagmire]

U, Too, Can Play U&U, the title is.

U&U For Demigod Dummies ?

[ConvoyWolf]

U, Too, Can Play U&U, the title is.

Hmmmm so that leads me to believe that Pete wanted his mits on King (initially but got Bailey) because hes really just one big ol nooooobie who needed an edge reeeeeealy badly.

[Miles the Wolf]

is King technically not adopted? he just lives with the Wolf Family

Well, technically the Wolf family is "owned" by the Ferrets. And Keene put King in the care of the Wolves, so... kind of both.

goodness gracious pete calm down with that bicep tone. -fans self-

Oh no, we've got a Pete fan here.

A Pete fan!? GATHER YOUR TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS, ALL YE FAITHFUL! WE SHALL BURN THIS TRAITOR! HE SHALL PERISH IN HOLY FIRE FOR HIS FOUL APOSTASY! LONG LIVE SPIRIT DRAGON!!!!!

[Leomon2004]

Well Pete is a "Glistening hunk." I think he looks better without clothes.

I gotta say anthro gryphons are quite majestic creatures (so are feral i know). Personally i think hed look good in a triple black suit and tie. Too bad those good looks have to be tainted by jerkiness.

With Pete's personality, wearing a black suit and tie would make him seem like he's in the Mafia.
