[ Home Again Home Again ]

Title Text: Later that night, Rock is kept awake by the persistent horrors that will not leave his mind. ''They know about the juice bar''

That is the most horrifying Hawaiian shirt I have ever seen o.o

It's a bit tricky to look scary in a Hawaiian shirt. But she did a good job!

(In reference to the second panel) To quote the Joker - "I may be crazy enough to take on Batman, but the IRS? No thank you!"

And is it me or does Cerb look a bit more buff then usual? Has she been weightlifting between strips?

Boy, hope Tarot and Sabrina won't be this irritable back at home. They just need to get used to the fact that they're norm- *Gets bricked and beat to a pulp by Tarot and Sabrina*

Really I don't get why he even objected to doing it in the first place, he is so rich that its not like buying plane tickets would matter. Heck he could have a private plane come get them really. That is just really being a greedy jerk.

The rich stay rich because they don't spend their money. Keene bought the return tickets for the crew going out. He said nothing about buying MORE tickets for the return trip.

Money worries trouble them,
all the way out in Oz.
Rocky's not going to sponsor them
just, you know, because?
He has to answer for all cash spent
to the patriarch Keene,
and soon they'll see what he spent
ordering shakes and Ice cream.
Cerb comes and lays down the law,
threatening legal intent.
She was going to bring in the law
now he'll pay like a gent.

And seriously, wasn't the point of all of this to get them back in the first place (at least Bailey)? It's beyond being a jerk if he's not doing a big portion of what he was sent to do (aside from getting footage of demigods).
On the other hand, it would appear that Tarot and Sabrina did start this argument. What did Rock say to get them that angry? Or maybe they're just angry about being norma- *Bricked*
But that wouldn't explain Bailey - she was normal from the st- *Bricked again*
I need to learn when to shut my mouth. XP

Whoa, that was fast (honestly, I wasn't expecting this to come back until NEXT Wednesday).

But back to the strip, I have a feeling those two demigods aren't done with Keene (or is that Rock? I get confused) just yet (he's still got the footage that Cameron filmed for him, who knows?)...

Looks like Kari is quite friendly with Cerberus. I wonder if he is another ex-boyfriend? xP

You tell him Cerb....*fans self*...whata strong woman! Rock you BETTER get them all back home fast!

ChekeBello · Post by **ChekeBello** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:27 am

So, just by the tittle, will see much more of the trip this time? :O And looks like their are not at the soda shop anymore, why is Cerb still around? o.o

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:29 am

Somebody has got to force Rock to care for the people he brought out there. Besides he has connections.

I imagine there is outside seating and they are now outside the soda shop.

He organized the trip with the prospect of making a big-buck movie, and probably ended up with naught. Petty vengeance.
Though Rock *must* have a suicidal streak for crossing Sabrina AND Bailey.

These. Are. Due. Epilogues.
Rick had even announced. Several times.

Please don't go there. It's ABSOLUTELY UNFAIR to Rick, who puts a lot of love and effort into this. In addition, there is a very large group of people that have thoroughly enjoyed the arc with this character and like the idea of it continuing.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:49 am

*Pst* Did anyone notice the name of the arc?
We have a hint.
Now we can speculate until we have our own fanfictions based on the title alone!

WhoElseButQuagmire · Post by **WhoElseButQuagmire** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:51 am

Rock was a ferret
who just couldn't bare it
Getting everybody back home.
Like Lily Tomlin
Sayin' it wasn't his problem
Till Cerb said 'Look at your phone'

Get Back. Get Back. Get Back to Babylon once more
Get Back. Get Back. Get Back to Babylon once more

Sweet Sabrina, black cat
Didn't like where she's at
Cause she couldn't magic anymore
Really out of sort
Can not teleport
Felt they were all now done for

Get Back. Get Back. Get Back to Babylon once more
Get Back. Get Back. Get Back to Babylon once more

Get back Sabrina, your boyfriend's waiting for you
With his dark sunglasses, and crying like a baby.
Get back home my lady.

Get Back. Get Back. Get Back to Babylon once more.
Get Back. Get Back. Get Back to Babylon once more.

Hey, I'm not complaining to Mr. Griffin. I'm just speaking my mind. I had so much hope that we'd be seeing Peanut and Grape, and now this. I don't have a problem with the arc necessarily, I just wish it would have been made clear before Guest Week.

Cerb has the power of the Dues Ex Demigod. If she wants to look buffer to scare someone, surely she's got the ability to do so. XD

I'm happy this arc is getting more content as a closure, it's more than likely going to be a great segway back into standard slightly less mundane Housepets!. Hopefully we get a new character in the sandwich family called Nutella... Oh who am I kidding, he couldn't get away with that could he? XD

Rick did post that there would be a few weeks' worth of epilogues. Aside from such an announcement, Rick isn't much in the habit of broadcasting future arc plots and which characters will be involved.

Not all of us have the privilege to watch a stream though.

If you are lucky enough to catch the new like me, from time to time Rick's streaming is public, he usually announce it in real time on twitter. No real need to have a privilege, as you said.

Back on topic, I'm quite happy that Rick choose to go with an epilogue, a fine way to pack up some themes still open and maybe lay down basis for future arcs. We have to read it as is probably been conceived, a book end containing hints/hooks for the sequel.

Unfortunately, not everyone is able to watch a stream, even with advance notice. Some of us cannot afford Internet access or have only metered Internet service. Others work or have school. Still others live in parts of the world where time difference makes participation highly improbable. I consider watching a stream a privilege.

Further, to reiterate, it's OK to not be thrilled with how the comic's going. Respectfully delivered negative feedback is appreciated no less than the messages of folks who liked the comic.

Let's keep discussion civil, please, so Dissension's telephone doesn't beep with urgent messages from moderators.

Left Cerberus is best Cerberus. :3

I have a feeling this vacation arc is going to end with Bailey pregnant with stubby-legged husky puppies...

...named Pete and Dragon.

Rock: what do you mean everything on the film looks like bad special effects?
Cameron: Seriously, you can even see the wires.
Rock: You didn't have the Doctor Who filter on?
Cameron: No, of course ... wait a minute, that isn't a real thing, is it?

If Rock don't get them all home safely, he should worry about Fido before the IRS problem.

Now I'm kind of curious about that "juice bar" mess...

Well that short arc is called "I need a vacation" and maybe it's Cerb's vacation.

The IRS, not even the Joker would go after them.

Sadly I saw the livestream the night before so I kinda spoiled myself a bit, but still hilarious nonetheless.
