Well this was a fun arc.

Of course Tiger has to actually say it. It's hard to see a shrug in his position.

Also, Zach, good luck getting some alone time with your girlfriend now.

Tiger has reached a new level of laziness. I'm so proud.

Wait whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

... Dang it Tiger, you fat

WishIWasHearEarlier · Mon Mar 21, 2016 12:13 am

Wow, Tiger has remained chubby since the All's Fair story arc. Now that his previous excuse is clearly out dated, I wonder how he will avoid dieting this time.

Mon Mar 21, 2016 12:21 am

I am reading this lying down in my bed with an empty sleeve of Thin Mints (which I just opened today) next to me.
I am Tiger.
except my shrug vocalization is "eh" instead of "shrug"

that's just a style change. he's still maintaining a constant weight, it's just bigger than you thought and is more obvious in this style.''

Poor Tiger. He has become his own denial.

Hope they don't all rush Zach as he opens the door. The opener of ways was not meant to be opened himself!

Yay, an arc with the TV tag. Although, shrug, it stayed connected with the current arc. Now everything in the forum is an audible shrug.

Tiger’s gone all to pot
Living life on the sofa;
Hogging the remote
And chugging the soda.
Marvin’s getting worried;
He’s not sure it’s funny.
But he doesn’t mean Shrugger;
He’s talking of THE Bunny.
Zach’s in love’s trap;
The Opener of Ways;
Waiting to be alone with Jess;
He’s counting down the days.

This isn't just regular lazy we're witnessing...
...this is Tiger lazy. This is NOT your average level of laziness.

Is it just me, or has Tiger gained a few pounds?

He looks chubbier than before

Gosh Tiger we thought the show was very good.

"Falstaff! Truck! What did I say about having your extended family over when I have my own visitors?!"
"Uh... that we'd... face your wrath?"
"Fanged straight!"

And aww, Zach told Tiger he was running away, and Tiger actually cared! aww

And now Rick goes on hiatus.

I think all the years of over-indulgence has finally hit him all at once

Well this was a fun, yet exhausting arc. I hope Rick gets the rest he deserves and comes back strong

HundKatzeMaus · Post by **HundKatzeMaus** » Mon Mar 21, 2016 7:39 am

I'm shocked, Marvin doesn't know the difference between a piledriver and a clothesline?

Also Jess knows some wrestling moves, that's really awesome

Yeah I agree that arc was so much fun, Rick deserves his break

Zach is just never going to live that down, isn't he?

*sigh* As much as i hate waiting through the guest comics... It has been some time since rick got a vacation from this. The last guest comic week was ages ago.... I guess i can survive a week... of waiting... and un-cannon comics... and waiting....

Is it over yet?

MrBlueSky7 · Post by **MrBlueSky7** » Mon Mar 21, 2016 11:56 am

I bet Cody and Trinket are gonna love to know where Zach got his so-called 'Title' from...

That's good, at least there was a TV spectator of this show.

Oh, Tiger, why it was terrible?

You only care to eat, right?

Your laziness scares me...

Cute belly, anyway.

Looks like Zach is going to live together with his girlfriend in the new house, but the tenants already in it should really annoy him.

Welcome, Opener of Ways!

Silly Zealot · Post by **Silly Zealot** » Mon Mar 21, 2016 2:06 pm

And now will finally come the long anticipated 100th story arc! "So Mice to Have Met You", in which seven-years-old Spo and Squeak go to a retirement residence for elderly rodents.

Excited? I sure am!

supersonicfan169 wrote:Is it just me, or has Tiger gained a few pounds? He looks chubbier than before

Don't you mean "more so than usual"?

It also says so below the comic.
I can tell some of those present are already working on those guest comics.

Unusuallynamedperson · Mon Mar 21, 2016 3:05 pm

Hey Tiger and Marvin are back!

shrug....

also it does look like he's gained a few pounds, probably from not doing anything at all on the comic for so long.

BTW, "live" should be lives.

EDIT, daah! stupid typo...

LurksInKorners · Post by **LurksInKorners** » Mon Mar 21, 2016 8:22 pm

A fun arc; should it be revisited it's bound to be good fun. But for now we wait.

Unusuallynamedperson wrote:BTY, "live" should be lives.

Just 'live' is technically correct if you consider "more than just Jessica" as the subject, as a whole noun phrase. The phrase itself is indeed a little unordinary and using a negative like "not only Jessica lives" would appear slightly more cohesive. But Marvin says what he says. A lot of everyday speech doesn't adhere to the standard language, after all.

I am rather curious as to what 'BTY' is though. It looks like you're using it like BTW, but I don't see what the Y could be?

SmileWolf · Post by **SmileWolf** » Mon Mar 21, 2016 9:58 pm

Cute full-body-from-the-back shot of Zach on that last panel. I like how it was drawn so well you can tell from his posture what his feelings at that moment are - the ears, slumped shoulders, etc. Not sure I've seen that sort of depiction before, or at least not for that character.

Given how long the comic's been out I'm impressed it only takes Rick a week or two to recover from burnout!

EDIT: speaking of burnout, fixed post-travel-lag-brained character mis-naming.

Tola · Post by **Tola** » Tue Mar 22, 2016 10:36 am

I can see it now... Ingress releasing a pet-centric version to encourage activity and socializing among those who can't simply use cars to subvert the entire process and secure their personal circle on a 'scenic' drive to work every morning.

1. the choice to name the teams 'cats' and 'dogs' will cause a lot of rivalry.
2. Tiger will absolutely refuse to help the dog team because that's work, and ultimately spend more energy fighting over it than he would have making a short daily walk.
3. Bino will temporarily achieve popularity and respect because his marking issues mean he already knows the most efficient routes around town, then lose them because he attacked Tiger for refusing to help and wound up in traction again.
4. Joey, dedicated to maintaining appearances, will work frantically until it finally dawns on him that he's mainly fighting his own accounts. Because pets tend to forget silly fads and games, he was close to the last one paying attention.

Is it just me or does Tiger look less buff than usual?

So the arc is done. I have read the left strips.

Nice ending. But this was the least good arc for me at least.

Trough I might take a second look later.

Housepets!
