Title Text: please exit through the gift shop for souvenir photos

So, in order to survive a fall, land on your feet. Excuse me while I go to the Grand Canyon to test that out.

Look at Rufus. "Don't worry guys, I'm sure he'll be back, just like me."

I do love the name for this arc. To add my own pun, Res is 2 fast 2 furrious.

Yeesh, Max - could've waited to confirm he's alive first? And you know, not sound selfish? =\

Though i also find it amusing Rufus is just casually strolling like nothing bad is going to happen :3

As I mentioned in the TG chat, the latter half of this reminds me a lot of a Calvin & Hobbes comic, and I really quite love it.

Also, Res remains the most adorable.

Quick, Res, put your hat back on!

Hmmmm...
  • I guess Rufus' halo counts as a hat...
  • ...but Peanut is in the temple without one?
  • Res needs a hug...
  • ... but not from a gargoyle, OK?

Res fell inside the pit as soon as he took off the hat, the team prolly shouldn't step further inside

This got me wondering, have we seen the other cats landing not-on-their-feet?

Eheheh, nice easy landing, Res. :D Maybe it's due to the were-tiger powers. :P It has been a long slip down the manhole, but fortunately there's nothing dangerous down there, for now. :) Maxwell, Res is a cat like you, and so he can well be able to land on his feet, unlike you. :P Yeah Grape, that's not so important... :roll:

Dang. Maxwell is not a bad cat at heart, but still, he can be quite the jerk sometimes.
I'm really not into black humor in this webcomic...

Also, two questions:
1) Second time in this arc, he acts as if he met Res for the very first time. Didn't he meet him at the signing?
2) What exactly does Grape mean by "That's not the important thing right now"?

Well, Max has a point.

IIRC, Max didn't actually meet Res at the signing, he and Grape split up while they were waiting. Res slipped his note to Grape into Max's book because he remembered her mentioning she came with him, but they didn't actually talk.

That's a good question, honestly. You'd think she'd be pretty freaked out right now, idolizing him and such.

I'm pretty sure she is replying to the fact that Max seems less concerned that Res may have died and more concerned that Res didn't get to finish the Pride Lands Series. At least that is what I get out of it.

That's what it is. =P

I'm surprised about it myself. I'd figure he would be like "Get down, Mr. Pridelands author!" or something like that. x3

Though this attitude doesn't surprise me too much. I also can picture in a comedy way that somehow Res's book being ruined is the REAL end of the world. as in - cat revolt.

Yeah, I thought that was the most likely correct answer, but I still had doubts. Thanks for the confirmation! :)

What do you mean by "Get down, Mr. Pridelands author!"? lol
And why doesn't this attitude surprise you too much?

When Max shows up in a serious plot you usually can guess he's going to be complaining about something. :3

Meanwhile, at the Crossroads of Reality, the Dimension Cops are hard at work looking for vandals that damage the Fourth Wall

-Ok, we got a new vandal from the Housepets Dimension; first time offender, violation of code 15-subsection vi: classic stare at the audience and quip combo for dramatic and/or comedic effect. Send a couple of uniforms with a caution and let him go-
