It seems Tarot set the date bar way too high with all of their dimension hopping.
Also, cute.

Ok this is just confusing me.
Re: 2017/04/24 - Take The Long Way Home
Let's hope that date is worth it.
Also, a Grapenut tease?

I've been paid less for Dog-sitting. It was for family, but the point stands.
Check out Lightning Dogs on the Nerdyshow Podcast Network
It's an in-development animated series following a team of Anthro-Dogs trapped in the Wastelands of a ruined Earth.
Re: 2017/04/24 - Take The Long Way Home
This was too cute of an ending! Next arc better have a ton of slapstick to balance out my fragile masculinity.
Re: 2017/04/24 - Take The Long Way Home
Not what i expected, but it's a very sweet ending. Totally unexpected.
Peanut learns more about this dating stuff from Grape much easier, doesn't he? =P

Oh Rick, do you know what you've just wrought with that last panel?
...
Eh, what the heck, I'm totally on board the Grapenut ship. Here's hoping this is a point toward it actually happening.

Re: 2017/04/24 - Take The Long Way Home
They have to go back. Peanut forgot his satchel!
Walking home as it’s getting late,
talking turkey and decrying fate,
lumping everything onto one plate
Grape and her brotherly mate date.
Hurling tales and curling tails
the bond against which another pales
Affection is the wind in their sails;
any attempt to beak them fails.
Friendship dates are never boring,
they often leave the spirit soaring
and, later, as his bed he falls in?
Odds are Peanut will soon be snoring.

guys, friend dates are a thing.
I would like this to not be that, but just saying. it's called a shipping tease for a reason

Maybe, but you generally don't refer to a "friend date" specifically as a date. It's usually just called "hanging out", or something else to that effect. Granted, in this case the phrasing could just be put down to Peanut's innocence, but still...RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:guys, friend dates are a thing.

Ok Grape, you may not need a water park to have fun, but what about being at a water park with your date? Anyone?
I mean, you may not be able to have any romantic moments, but hey! Water park!

Then again, their relationship has always been really weird now that I think about it. Namely referring to the last few panels of this page:
And it's not like they ever stopped being "mushy", they've occasionally done it every now and then, just not as frequently recently. But this is always how their friendship has been since then, and frankly I never quite thought about how that kinda bugged me actually. I don't really care for shipping, I just go with what's canon, but personally it just seems kinda... messed up? I mean if Tarot and Max are cool with it then it's technically fine but it just doesn't seem like the healthiest thing to do for two people in a relationship.
Again, cool that two friends... or siblings...kinda-- can be that close and not technically be in a relationship, but this just kinda reminded me of how uncomfortable it makes me
Real good ending though Rick! ^^

I'm not a shipper, but I thought this page was cute. I especially like the stars. It's a pretty cool scene.

I kinda figured that Peanut and Grape had a type of romantic friendship when they felt like it.

Well, not so much anymore, what with Tarot having lost most of her powers, and even if she did still have them, she kinda banned Peanut and Grape from using her as a holodeck.gamepopper wrote:Friends with benefits, and by benefits I mean one dates a psychic.D-Rock wrote:I kinda figured that Peanut and Grape had a type of romantic friendship when they felt like it.
Re: 2017/04/24 - Take The Long Way Home
That was probably one of the powers she lost anyway.
She is kinda being depicted as chilling toward Peanut anyway.

Re: 2017/04/24 - Take The Long Way Home
Looking at the last panel...
At first I was like "Awww".
And then I was like "Wait, a date?? I thought they were best friends! Aren't Peanut and Grape thus going to cheat respectively on Tarot and Max?? Why?? I love those two love relationships! And didn't Rick himself say that it is okay for a male and a female characters to be just (best) friends, something I completely agree with and wish so many more people would agree with??"
And then I saw this comment :
And I was like "Oh!... Okay then. Awwww"
Even though I completely agree with CHAOKOcartoons: this is kinda weird and I hope Tarot and Max are okay with it.
And once again, I hope Tarot and Max have always known and have always been okay with it.
But I'm puzzled: I can't figure out which one says "You wanna go on a date?" and which one accepts by saying "Eh, okay". (And also, why "eh"???)

I looked up "romantic friendship" on Wikipedia: the description depicts pretty well the relationship between Peanut and Grape.

based solely on personality I figured Peanut asked and Grape accepted. and the "eh" is just to indicate tone. it's not an emphatic yes, just a "sure, why not"Soerix wrote:But I'm puzzled: I can't figure out which one says "You wanna go on a date?" and which one accepts by saying "Eh, okay".

In the last panel, Grape has her tail crossed with Peanut's. I'd see that as a Pet's version of hand holding, even though they do have hands. Based on that I'd say he asked and she accepted.RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:based solely on personality I figured Peanut asked and Grape accepted. and the "eh" is just to indicate tone. it's not an emphatic yes, just a "sure, why not"Soerix wrote:But I'm puzzled: I can't figure out which one says "You wanna go on a date?" and which one accepts by saying "Eh, okay".

Also, since he is the one asking about dates, it would make sense for him to want to explore the process and asked Grape to help him with that.
Re: 2017/04/24 - Take The Long Way Home
What i really liked about this comic in particular is the personal growth Peanut is going through. Grape acts like this experience was nothing to her, but to Peanut it's like a world of exploration. Him dating Grape is just utterly adorkable when you think about his line of thought on the lesson.

If someone asked me to the waterpark for a date i'd swear my life to them. there's a waterpark close to me that has one slide with an honest-to-god loop.
Not lonely anymore,

It's not that weird, I've seen fences like that. Large privacy fences that have the vertical slats on both sides of the support beams. We don't see if from any angle that shows it's thickness, so it's probably one of those.Argent wrote:And that's a weird fence, it's got pickets on both sides.

OMG!!!!
Peanut and Grape are finally going to go on a date! I've been wanting this since before Pete made his first appearance!
I am just hoping that this becomes a bigger thing as time continues and isn't just done to mess with us.

I don't think Peanut means it as a friend date. Grape knows he likes her and its been made blatantly clear that he wants to be her boyfriend on a romantic level. Remember the farm? She hooked up with max when he was walking up to ASK her to be his girlfriend. The event broke his heart which is why tarot/dragon took advantage of him to get close to what was going on. Remember tarot didn't get with him because she wanted to she did it because dragon made her. They just sort of ended up liking each other after that and as far as grape well.... Lets be honest Max has never really been a good boyfriend.leinglo wrote:Maybe, but you generally don't refer to a "friend date" specifically as a date.
