[ Battle of Epic Proportions ]

Title Text: *gasp* you can't say butt on the internet

I think this problem could have been avoided if Regular Hawk was called Irregular Hawk...

Artistic differences are Artistic life
as creators clash and tempers flash
and creative beliefs are brought to strife
in a double length, full colour, splash.
What's weak by one designer
is rendered strong, their tale long,
when written by A. N. other
and goes back when the other's on song.
The Hawk's a noble creature
against the Spot, the muscled clot
he's really not a star feature.
But at least he got the guest slot.

This is what happens when you got two creatively brilliant artist and put them to work together and they both have different visions

Does Joey even know how to punch?
<sigh> the classic form of slapping. I wonder if this will be continued into next week. (I'm 99% sure it wont)

Several things going through my mind here. Bear with me:

Why is there no longer a link to the forums included in every comic update? I enjoy the quick link, and the jokes that go with it. Y u no maek link? I crie every teim.

Yeah the slaps are cute. But they're fighting, MAKE THEM STOP! BE FRIENDS AGAIN! I cringe at the thought of this happening for some reason. But at the same time I recognize the humor / (cute) friend fighting.

When did Joey get that new color of collar, and since when does Joey take after Bino so much =p?


Okay thank you (and bears everywhere) for staying with me through that.

It's okay, this just leads into next week's 'Let's Imaginate: The Three Stooges'.

Grape suddenly appears next to them saying "Alright you Knuckleheads, break it up, break it up! We gots a job to do here! Or did youse two mooks forget we gots a job here to fix this rich palooka ( played by Max in an ascot and a monocle ) 's pipes before his big fancy smanchy party starts in 20 minutes?"
Peanut: "Fix his pipes? I got just the thing!!" (Hands Grape a bottle of Pepto Bismo.) "Nyak, Nyak, Nyak".
Grape: "Ehhhh, you'll be indigestinating your supper tonight if you two don't shape up! Now you -- grab those comically giant wrenches, and you -- get that ladder on your shoulders and make with the high jinx Jinx! And I'm not kidding!"
Peanut: We know you're not kitten! You're a full grown cat. Nyak, Nyak, Nyak."
Grape: " Why I oughta......"

I can relate to those two final panels with fights with my younger brother when we were younger, the slaps, me head-grabbing him ... I can also relate with fights with my older brother (me being the one being head-grabbed)

Too be fair Peanut, a fight scene would be cool to see. Just have Hawk come close; besides I feel Spot is overpowered and not as interesting. Like superman. Now if he faced a foe who was as powerful (Like an evil clone, or a criminal from the same planet as him) that would be something worth while. It's one of the reasons Man of Steel was good.

"Will the fires be stopped? Will Spot(superdog) reveal the reasons of his actions to the Justice House? Will the artists stop their bickering? Find out on the next epic issue of Spot(superdog): Grounded for Good!"

P.S. I'm surprised no one has brought up how Spot(superdog) was able to slap Regular Hawk in midair when he's still unable to fly, super jumping maybe?

P.P.S. Joey is still my favorite of the updated designs, not just because he has a blue collar to match his eyes but he also wears goggles! Goggleheads are cool! =^^=

Perhaps Spot just super-jumped?

Spot is fully depowered by Grey Orphanite
Spot is randomly depowered by Plaid Orphanite
Spot has problems dealing with obese children
Spot can be trapped in a VR
Spot can be controlled by hypnotic gems
Spot can be defeated by his own sense of honor
Someof Spot's villains really ask for it!
Spot can be beaten by critic reviews
Spot can get sick

Overpowered?
Nah...
Interesting? Yup!

More likely though, that's part of the reason for their artistic differences. ;)

Loved the ending. The punchline in these Spot comics was worth the wait. X3

Hopefully Peanut will get more people to do this in the future.

Ah, the struggles of co-authoring a story...

Would be funny if Rick put his name on the last two panels. Just to mildly annoy us.

Rightly it's Regular Hawk who has to go down to Spot, because this last isn't still able to fly. But, looks that's no more so, or maybe, the insulting anger gave him a boost of unexpected energy... :P Well Regular Hawk, only now you've discovered how's really Spot: he's a real inept, but not only. :lol: Wouldn't bet on a real mind control. ;)
Yeah, Joey vs Peanut battle is going to be more interesting and epic. :D You're asking too much Peanut, and rightly Joey must sign his draws... BTW, you can slap better, Joey, those look to be pats on the back. :P

Well in http://www.housepetscomic.com/2014/06/0 ... -grounded/ Spot (Superdog) says that the plaid orphanite wears off after a random amount of time. Perhaps it just did.[/quote]

Is Peanut OK? Spot isn't acting too much like a superhero, or not as much as he used to. We know Spot's attitude normally reflects Peanut's. I hope Peanut gets better if he's going through something. :(

I think Peanut might just be trying to give Spot his own character, and failing miserably. Or he's been reading newer (real) comics where everyone are jerks, :P

So noted. So it'd be real character development for him to ask and stop carrying the thing that's stopping him flying with him across the country...

It would be interesting if Grape encouraged Peanut to take his comics to a publisher for feedback, maybe the HP! Version of Stan Lee or something.

Yeah, I've been wanting in Arc like that. Peanut tries to get his comic more known, and a Stan Lee-esque character appears offering to make the comic mainstream. Peanut will ultimately have to decide whether to get his comic famous, and thus loose the rights. Or keep it small and be able to retain his rights over it.

Although now that I think of it on the other paw, would Peanut want to sell his comics professionally? He might consider that the same as videotaping Imaginates, which he said ruined the creative experience.
