About this current strip, curve ball out of no where. Last panel, Grape, your just adding insult to injury. xD.

I agree this twist brings up so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully this Arc will answer them.

Now why would I even do that

"Comes out of nowhere" is not the only qualification. But um, do I seriously need to heavily foreshadow everything I'm ever going to do ever? You guys break easy

The best answers are given in the long run as they say.

That, or when the situation calls for them. Though you could give us a FEW tidbits this time. Too easy to pass this opportunity. =3

This is the most shocking revelation in the entire history of history

Guys Max doesn't know that Sabrina's dating Fido, so obviously it would be difficult for him to think over his situation after being dumped for a dog twice if he doesn't know about the dog in the first place

Also, who says that he got dumped, or that if Sabrina dumped him, that she dumped him for Fido.

Macsen · Post by **Macsen** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 11:29 am

Maybe she got tired of cats as a result of Max, and that opened the door for her to fall for Fido?

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 11:36 am

You know, it's possible that Max DOES know Sabrina dates a dog, but has his reasons for keeping it to himself. (Embarassing reasons)

But hey, that's possibly a better reason for Grape to be dating Max as well.

Moreover though, i'm just more anxious to see what Grape, Sabrina and Maxwell will do together? i'm leaning towards an awesome time together.

True. I personally find that hard to believe, at this point, but it's possible. But possible doesn't equal definitely.

Also, I can still see Max dumping Sabrina just as much as Sabrina dumping Max in this situation.

I still can't get out of my mind this Monday comic. @_@

I can wait 5-10 years since i'm a patient guy, but Grape and Maxwell i hope establish a long-time relationship.

I said hopefully not that you would, in fact I know you won't answer every single one I was talking about the bigger questions like why did they break up ect.

Ok maybe I am wrong, I got literally no sleep last night so maybe I was being stupid calling it a shocking swerve, but I never said that you had to foreshadow everything, I never meant to even Imply that, I was just pointing out that this was never hinted at at all.

I agree with you on both points Brawler for all we know It could have been either of them who broke it off or it could have been a mutual decision by both of them and I doubt that Max knows about Fido and Sabrina but I guess it could be possible.

Max does know a lot of pets, so if anyone would know (besides Peanut, Grape and Spo, of course), it would probably be him.

Two_Twig · Post by **Two_Twig** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 2:22 pm

Hmmm, I'm really curious to know how old this characters are, beside Grape and Peanut of course. Max sounds like he has a lot more back story to him than I originally thought...

I would also like to know this. I'm going to estimate Max (based on just a pure realistic guess) to be at least a year older then Peanut probably two Sabrina would be around the same. As for Tarot most like the same age as Peanut (again based off nothing but a realistic guess)

I was afraid the situation would turn sour grapes and there would be a cat fight.
Poor Max, this spooking plan just isn't working out for him.

Joke ruined, everyone go home.

This arc is pretty good so far. Nice bit of humor, along with the new method you're trying out. Sketching things out on paper first is usually a good idea in my book.

Max's plan of spooking is going to be more at risk than the "cat fight."

I wonder if grape will tell sabrina that she and Peanut know about Fido and her. It sounds like something that could happen maybe?

I don't know much about psychics and to be honest, I don't really believe in them. But one would think, if they are legit, it wouldn't be a skill one could just pick up and learn through apprenticeship, but an innate ability that either you have or you don't. But I really don't believe in it anyway.

Well, it's like Peanut's ability of really-fast-reading. The fact that he can eat books like pretzels doesn't mean he could put all that input to work. The same way, being a psychic means Sabrina has a lot of potential into reading minds and supernatural hotspots, not that she can do it at her best already.
And Tarot has an unfair advantage, being the avatar of a deity!

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Oct 12, 2010 8:54 am

The rules of psychic powers vary from universe to universe. Whether or not you need to be born with the powers or at least the potential for them hasn't been established officially; for all we know Sabrina was born a psychic, and Tarot's just helping her bring out that power.

Soooo, kinda a bit more complicated then a love triangle...

Lets start with Tarot, who likes Peanut, who has a kind of sibling mushy crush on Grape, who'se dating Max, who used to date Sabrina, who is currently secretly dating Fido (there's a box of skunks nobody wants to open) who'se being sought after by every female dog in the county including Sasha, who'se supposed to be the girlfriend of Bino...

Don't tell me we're going to see Bino trying to flirt back with Tarot or something... that'd be a bit too.... soap-opera-ish-ey

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Oct 12, 2010 11:03 am

Don't forget Spirit Dragon having a crush on Peanut.

Macsen · Post by **Macsen** » Tue Oct 12, 2010 11:20 am

Or Sasha being affectionate on King.

Perhaps this Halloween is finally their chance to go walkies? :3

Oh he loves her, but she loves him, and he loves this girl right here and she loves somebody else, you just cant win. And so it goes until the day you die, this thing you call love, is gonna make you cry..(I'll stop now hehe.)
