Alright it looks like its finally time to bring a close to the Cosmic Nerds stuff. Also everyone called this.

What did I tell ya, Pete was somehow going to ruin it all.

As to what he does, that will be interesting

Of course Pete is going to show up !!! Now this is going to get interesting !!!

Whoa. Déjà Vu.
...
Wait. Everything is Déjà Vu!
...
...
...
Whoa.

Why?! Why does Pete show up today of all days?! D:

Oooh, new Pete design.

All of you jinxed him into appearing in this arc. XD
King in 1st Panel: Short lived moment of genuine happiness.

Bleh.

second panel: In which Pete is everyone opposed to this marriage cause King was human

hmmmmm.....

I think king is dreaming. (You only think you think i'm here) mean's u think that i'm going to show up here. but dont think about that to much.

By the way, I'm the only one who noticed that Pete have a fluffy cat tail instead of the lion tail he used to have?

I hope everything works out for the best (Famous last sentence.)

Uh-oh. This can't be good.


OBJECTION!! If King is dreaming, then the marriage never really happened.

It's funny, really. When Joel first met Pete, there was a simple statement of "You're not my lawyer," and now that Pete is back, King once again has an almost "don't really care" attitude.

This is it, folks! The one you've all been waiting for! You have called his name, pondered about his next appereance, wondered about his upcoming involvement within the webcomic, you can't get enough of him, and now he is finally made his entrance on stage!
You know him! You love/hate him!

He's the one,
The only,
The unimitable,
Unparalleled,
Unsurmountable.
Unasailable,
And unremarkable.....
PETER GRIFFIN!

Wait..

*Shift through the script*

....




Nevermind, it's Pete the gryphon.

I thought that was one of his wings.

No he is not dreaming about being a dog are the wedding he is dreaming that pete is going to show up.

I'm gonna call this now, King is going to have to decide between going through with the wedding and agreeing to be Pete's Avatar (thereby finally becoming a full Dog). Or not being Pete's Avatar and not marrying Bailey.

Too late. I'm already thinking about thinking about it. -_-

King, now it's up to you and no one else.
Please, do the right choice.

Thanks for the clarification. BUT, if Pete REALLY is there, it could only mean disaster for King.

God I hope this has a happy ending

The right choice? But that's relative

There may be some mishaps, but let's hope Pete doesn't ruin anything.

Pete isn't in this comic. You only think you think he is.

but then why is he tagged?

Yay, Pete's back!

Let the Mass Hysteria Commence!

It's true, doing the right thing would be a subjective choice.

Unless...
*gasp*
Good and evil really are innalterable and objective concepts!

Also, Gren's gif made me laugh!

First we need to know, which are the options

Oh no Pete is going to crash the party, Dear Pete can you leave King alone for once I mean it is Kings special day.

And how many.

No, every single arc from the point that king was turned into a dog was a dream. Pete is there to snap him back from his really long dream. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Its likely just these two that I said above. There could be a third way but I can't figure out one without it dragging out the Cosmic stuff even longer, which considering the survey and Rick saying on Twitter that he figured out the last little bit of the Cosmic arc a bit ago, I don't think that is going to happen.

My assumption is King is just hallucinating Pete due to his doubt about marrying a dog.

What?
First, he transform someone into a dog, and now he is going to crash the party?
He is stealing all of my dreams! BUAAAAAH

I think that king is dreaming about Pete because he said the seriousness is geting to him.also Pete is in kings dream and is about to tell us what his plan is. Also if king is dreaming that would explain the no ceiling

What do you guys think?

Well, this in certainly an interesting complication. Now that Pete's here, all sorts of stuff could happen. Here are three of my favourite theories about where this is headed so far:

• Pete tells him something about Bailey (maybe she's the Great Kitsune's avatar, or perhaps his own) or about something that he has to do.
• Pete turns him back into a human, possibly just as a way of making him miserable by taking away his friends and his would-be wife (maybe as a step on the Dark Paladin path) or possibly so that he'd agree to be Pete's avatar.
• Pete is just dropping by and stopping to chat, possibly with an agenda that, but with apparently friendly/only slightly mean intentions.

Also, I noticed something. This page, the first meeting between King and Pete, shares a remarkable similarity to the latest one. Someone tells him something and leaves at first, then he hears a voice behind him, and then he turns to see Pete in the penultimate beat panel. Then the alt text even has a similar format. I think this is mostly hinting at something to come in the next comic. That's the primary reason I think theory number two might happen.

Maybe Kitsune and Dragon tagged along to stop him being a jerk. Who knows?
Also the canine in me asks, "hnmmm what does Griffin taste like?", as the wolves may find out.

To me there really is no 'right' or 'wrong' choice. Only multiple paths that lead you down to many others. But there are the paths that will lead you to something you may want in life. You just need to figure out which paths those are...
