The three of them would then jump atop a gondola and start singing "That's Amore," making Dragon cry even harder... Okay, that's taking a joke too far, but still.

Sorry, just had to do it.

Alright, without further delay, here's the tale of how our friend got caught in that box... according to various rumors and speculations in the spirit world (and a magic 8-ball). I again apologize for the blurriness.

Doesn't Holly look cute when she's horrified?

<Edit>: I fixed a minor typo and made the text a little clearer. Also, alternate text: "I got them from Pinecones.com."

Three million years ago? That's when human predecessors started! With such combined powers, who know how much the chimera changed the world?

Does the lion ever get an anthro form?

Oh, hi Cerbie!

If he did, it probably wouldn't be by choice. He was born to be wild (running around on all fours and roaring to scare the living daylights out of people)...

Then again, he might find it useful to be able to stand upright and use his digits every now and then (he can ride a unicycle while juggling chickens to make monks burst into laughter, thus breaking their vows of silence). We'll see... We'll see.

Very perceptive. I didn't want to make it too obvious by making her talk (blue text and all). Just a subtle ominous silhouette.

WHO'S THAT DEMIGOD?!... IT'S CEREBERUS

Well, unity is strength, so Bahamut did a stupid thing.

Does Heidi represent "the void of the forgotten"?

Must see how she got the box... Oh, yeah, it's Cerberus at the door: is she going to take Holly's fate, now? Looks like you aren't going to enjoy your dinner...

dryideabat wrote:Doesn't Holly look cute when she's horrified?

Not really, and the horrifying isn't justified because is Cerberus who is cute!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 9:16 pm

And her mouth drops open at the site of a large 8-foot tall three-headed dog that looks like they want to bite her head off, but is actually the nicest demi-god of them all.

He just better hope that what he did doesn't cause the end of time and the universe itself.

Here's another brief episode of madness for your viewing pleasure. Sadly, my attendance will likely become more intermittent over the next few weeks. I have to really get my head into the game (*serious face*) and figure-out how to use various fun tools in what is known as data assimilation (and the "who caresies" award goes to...). I'll still be around though. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Oooh. I wonder who the person will be to stop the rampage.

Mefears Cerb is talking about Pete...

Tarot: "No, not him again! Cerbie, you can't be serious!"
Cerberus: "Yes I'm serious, and don't call me Cerbie." *Cue canned laughter*

I should work at a derby store, because my jokes are old-hat.

I apologize for the delay. Things have gotten very busy on my end. It will probably be a while before I can make the next one. Anyway, thank you all for your support/feedback/fun. Indeed, you each have inspired me a little. Enjoy.

Well, I tried linking the image from my Google drive (to preserve it's resolution), but I'm not sure if it worked (it's not visible from my computer). Just in case, I've posted the same image, but with a lower resolution.

Alternate Text: "Don't worry, Pete. Everyone gets nauseous on their second astral jump. It'll pass."

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 9:36 pm

So, is this Pete a clone, or is this an alternate universe?

They abducted him from the mortal world and (at least temporarily) restored him to his old self (I'll clarify this next time). I was originally going to show the abduction, but who (besides Rick Griffin) knows what mortal form Pete has been given? Maybe he's the kind old man next door or an ornery parrot at a local pet store. Even a silhouette in the foreground would imply something, so I decided to keep it a bit vague.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 10:11 pm

Sort of feeling bad for Dragon now.

dryideabat · Post by **dryideabat** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 10:23 pm

Yeah, for the moment she's all alone (no annoying little brother to look after). If they were pets at a store, I would imagine her being an iguana, telling her blue macaw of a brother to shut up, but being sad when he's taken away.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 10:54 pm

Oh wow, I just love the banner that the two of them put up. If I were Pete, I would be scared. Very scared right now.

Thanks to forumite RENATO for the awesome job he's doing with the out-of-balloon writings

Alright, one more for the road... Sorry I couldn't think of a better title... or a better story... or draw better. You know, I was never really crazy about the saying "never look a gift horse in the mouth." But I digress.

Alternate Text (I'll back-track and think of ones for the others when I have more time): "And she'll work for peanuts."

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 10:54 pm

Nice work!

And thanks for commenting on my Halloween story!
Um, you misspelled 'benefit', though.

dryideabat · Post by **dryideabat** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:04 pm

Oops. Sorry about that, me fixed

. Thanks.

Hehe, bebefit. What is that, a new trendy diaper or an exercise video by Bebe Neuwirth (And all that Jazzercize)? Oh, sleep deprivation.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 2:02 am

Is their second candidate Dragon? It seems like they are threatening Pete and if Pete and Dragon REALLY do care about each other as it looked in their last appearance, I can't see Pete not doing everything to keep her safe.

dryideabat · Post by **dryideabat** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:46 am

Alrighty, as promised, I finally added the alternate texts to the comment above each comic and edited a minor typo I found in one of them. Cheers.

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 5:38 am

aaaand all ATs translated as well! Yay!

PS - After re-reading the "Heaven's not Enough" arc, I still think that Pete and Dragon deserve some of what's coming to them, even if Homer promises to be, well, definitely not a nice guy.
Yup, I want to see some Pete on the grill, see him on the other side of helpless.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Nov 04, 2014 12:34 am

You mean like that scene from the movie "The 'burbs" were Tom Hanks character is on a giant grill in a nightmare?

You mean something like this? Yeah, I thought it was time for King to finally bury the hatchet... But since I do not think that he has a hatchet, I guess that a shovel will suffice.

Alternate Text:
"With this shovel, I knight thee Sir Chicken Cordon Bleu."

*grins* *nods savagely*
tomorrow, translation! In the meantime, WILD APPLAUSES!!!!

PS - OF COURSE Pete is only pretending he needs help. Pw-leeze!

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Fri Nov 07, 2014 5:39 pm

But it's a persecution for the poor King! Pete is asking help?

Well done, King!

Pete accepted as seems, so we won't also see Spirit Dragon now, right? Homer is being the new omnipotent creature!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Nov 07, 2014 11:25 pm

Ouch. I hope that King didn't damage whatever is left of Pete's sanity.

dryideabat · Post by **dryideabat** » Sat Nov 15, 2014 11:11 am

I apologize to those who might be waiting, but it's probably going to be at least another week before I finish the next strip (more exams and all). But you needn't worry, cause (spoiler alert) things will happen for reasons... Pete is not getting off so easily... Ever read The Most Dangerous Game? Instead of an island it's the world, instead of a man being hunted it's a fallen demi-god, and instead of a crazy aristocrat it's Homer's avatar (who he will activate in three days... A resident in Babylon Gardens who is a descendant of someone Homer helped/championed long ago). But is this just the tip of the iceberg? Yes... that is the plan... But seriously, what did Pete ever do to deserve such animosity?... (*bursts-out laughing*)

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 12:01 am

I hope that if King does decide to help Pete to show that he is the bigger animal, he makes him sweat for a while.

we can wait. I could help King shoveling pete around, in the meantime. May I, may I, May Pweeeease?
