So it's used to being cold. I really wouldn't be worried about Peanut freezing, it's nothing for him. I'd be more worried about Grape... she'll have to stay in the house with him. No naps for her!

I imagine they'll end up napping together like in the end of the vet arc.

I think Grape was hilarious in this one.

Gotta keep a eye on those snowdogs though, Peanut. o_o

I wonder if we'll see Fox in this arc. We haven't seen him, nor King for that matter, in a long time, and it's in his nature to like this much snow. He's a husky, after all.

I doubt someone could make a personal appearance in this snow. The only way i could see someone getting into the house when snowed in is probably the second floor if the snow is dug up that high.

I would take it if the power at their house isn't out there mightbe a possibility for phone or computer chat from someone, but i'm largely expecting it to be strictly Peanut and Grape. call me surprised if someone outside the family makes an appearance somehow =P

I'm waiting to see King complain about the snow.

I second this.

We might still see pets like King and Fox. Just not likely seeing each other or Peanut and Grape. They're likely snowed in themselves.

Yeah, Fox with his dad and King with the wolves.

Officer Bill would dig a trench in the snow with his manly chin!

I think we'll only see King when the winner of the sequel of "All the King's Men" contest is chosen.

Valerio... are you suggesting that Office Bill is Chuck Norris? And that Fox is the pet of Chuck Norris? If that's that case, I seriously need to find a dimension where this comic exists and go there

yoyodude · Post by **yoyodude** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:47 pm

I just noticed, on the previous strip dream-Peanut is missing his tag! He looks cute without it though.

copper · Post by **copper** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 7:41 pm

I still think that the first panel of this comic is a hint that Peanut and Spot are one and the same. Just separated by alternate dimensions. That is a cape, and Peanut is pretending that it is a blanket.

Don't be silly, everyone knows Officer Bill is Captain Falcon.

TehBraws is right. Bill is Captain Falcon, and Babylon Garden is a place near Mute City!

Peanut's denser than the wall of snow he ran into!

That's Peanut for you! Always trying to make the most out of a desperate situation!

mariomarc · Post by **mariomarc** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 1:10 am

it's not like he can't do all those things
he does have a generator

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 1:12 am

and then Peanut runs for the Garage to grab a car engine.

copper · Post by **copper** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 1:26 am

Wait... If the neighborhood lost power and the snow is that high, how is their light in their house?

Are they using their generator?

Are you seriously contesting cartoon logic?
Also, today's strip is epic in every single panel!

Gotta leave it to Peanut, to incarnate optimism.

Wait a minute Tarot is Psychic shouldn't Peanut just be able to mentally contact her to have her come over; if its even possible for her to get over to the house with all the snow.

She likely can't with the BIG WALL OF SNOW just outside the door.

Well she could use her powers to move the snow. She has used Telekinesis before when finding the remote.

She was using her powers to find the remote, not move it. She might be able to teleport into their house, though.

Don't forget their adventure on the broomstick! Although that may only happen on Halloween.

Astral Projection if all else fails.

she could even use them to restore power to all the houses, but that would require real world logic

But she was moving things around the room to find it hence she was using Telekinesis which she could use to move the snow out of the way.

Peanut is so illogical right now he suggests IM'ing his magical, telepathic girlfriend. Right after seeing the cell phone that clearly works.

This arc is looking to be amazing.

I had a double-take because everything looks pretty well lit. Compare to houses with the lights out:

Actually, I just remembered, it's probably daytime. I would probably expect a less-warm and slightly darker color, though...

Peanut is definitely becoming cuter and more refined (other characters too but Peanut stands out most to me). Compare the last two years of Peanut, in chronological order, most separated by about 2-6 months or so, especially the first panel (I would suggest switching between tabs):

Methinks that's a textbook case of Art Evolution.

Also yay! Silly Peanut! By the end of the day Grape might just finally loose her sanity!

Or they'll just end up snuggling in front of a fire. I'm good with either of those options, should be fun to watch!
