I still think "Greanut" sounds like some kind of exotic fruit.

All of your comments in here are pushing the rating on the comic WAY beyond PG.

But its funny to read.

Apparently J.K. Rowling got death threats because she sank their ships with the epilogue of book 7. So the moral of the story is: pair characters because the loud members of the fanbase tell you to.

Or ignore them. Either works.

I hope Rick just does what he wants with the comic its his work. I mean I have my ships but some people get way to crazy with shipping and give regular shippers a bad name.

I try not to ship characters myself. Que sera, sera.

I think I saw that cereal before. Not sure if I actually ate some.

As much as I hate the next logical step, terms like "Brangelina" or "____shipping," I have to admit "grapenut" is pretty clever.

Vadiant · Post by **Vadiant** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 9:50 pm

Grapenut? Mmm... Housepets! is now part of a balanced breakfast! ... Odd that the cereal's not actually made from grapes or any kind of nut at all, though. o.0

... darn Grapenut fans, shipping Grape and Peanut together and whatnot...

I notice the double emphasis on Maxape. ... Which sounds kind of like it's a pokemon.

That would be Primape you're thinking of. Shall we take a page from the book of the Pokémon (cartoon) fandom and pair characters who have never met, would probably hate each other, and aren't even interested in the others' gender or species? I totally support Saspo.

I'm sorry Rick. I kinda got a little carried away.

You'd be surprised what happens when people get carried away like that.

At least I didn't take part in this this time.

ChewyChewy · Post by **ChewyChewy** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 11:33 pm

I was getting confused with all those weird corruptions of characters' names....

I couldn't even tell what was who anymore....

(Another good reason not to ship....)

What do you mean by ship?

New comic: absolutely adorable. I love it.

Think what Twilight fangirls do with their "team Edward/Jacob" stuff, only not necessarily that creepy. Not always, anyway.

WORTH THE WAIT!
There's such a wide range of emotion in both of them!
I knocked over my Triscuits when I flailed this time... Now I have to pick them up...

Hah! Mushy Friendships are the Best Friendships. Prove me wrong. I dare you.

And I'm pretty sure everyone wins in this situation.

or maybe we all win in some ways. I think I might be satisfied with this. Well done Rick well done.

Edit: also major dawwww at the second to last panel.

Buckdida · Post by **Buckdida** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 12:13 am

Well, they're more than just friends, but it's hard to tell if they're more than just friends. It leaves the possibility open, yet closes it at the same time. It is everything and nothing at the same time.

Dang, Rick. Just how did you manage that? I'm simply impressed just how you pulled this off.

Anyway you look at it, it's just awesome.

Cerberusx · Post by **Cerberusx** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 12:18 am

OH MY GOD!!! So shocked, not only was it 8 pannels, but Grape kissed Peanut and they said they love each other. I don't care what you guess say, they are more then just best friend. Also there faces where priceless.
P.S. Peanut's headphones are pluged into nothing...sooooo?

Suddenly this arc turned from boring(IMO) to

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 12:20 am

The cord is probably just over his left shoulder. Or, there's no reason why wireless headphones couldn't exist, if you want to be technical.

I like to think we all win. It's not a cop-out or a shark jump this way.

What are the chances that he was using wireless ones?

ChewyChewy · Post by **ChewyChewy** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 12:23 am

WHOA....

In all my years of encountering this kind of mushy stuff in various media, I don't think I've EVER seen a conversation that went anything like this!

But I'd say it DEFINITELY makes up for the situation they were all in before!

(Only one question, now--does that mean the comic is OVER?

)

There are a lot of overall threads still loose in the story so I doubt it'll be ending on that note. Besides, their relationship just progressed and went nowhere at the same time so it has a lot of room to expand into. One step at a time.

I have to say that I really loved this strip. There were such a wide range of emotions displayed between them and they were all increadibly adorable.

I was kind of kidding with that question....

I imagine it is the end of the arc, though--it just feels like an ending to something....

EDIT: Peanut looks cute in that third panel--I don't think I've seen him looking like that before....
