Well that answers that question from a few months back.
It’s funny because it’s sad. Poor Max. So much denial for such a little cat. Yeah, they’re not going last.

I love Grape's face in panel one.
Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
That's not the only buff thing that Grape apparently wants. Poor Max.

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
Hmmmmm, Isn't this the first time it has been outright stated that Grape likes Dogs? Its been rather obvious before this but I'm pretty sure this is the first time it's ever been really acknowledged by another character. Also given Ricks tweet from earlier about the ending being weird I think this might be going in a different direction than I thought. Depending on how this jealousy thing with Max plays out if he is not truly over it.

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
it had to be done.
Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
Something tells me the jealousy may be coming back at some point... also guess we can add Mungo to the list of buff boys Grape is into, don’t think she looked at him like that prior to this arc... also sorry Grape, but he’s taken until we know if Fungo is teasing or not... also yeah the double breakup isn’t impossible, though the timing would be awful if it’s right after Grape pulled him out his emotional slump. Grape and Max honestly don’t have that bad a relationship... though they have always felt more like friends than anything so they could go either way as well... ugh, I just hope they aren’t bad breakups that make it hard to believe they’d be okay being friends still after they also become ex’s if that does happen

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
Depends on your definition of “swole” or what qualifies as “swole”. Anyway she hasn’t shown interest in Mungo until now. Honestly it was long overdue.
Also when has she been shown to have an interest in werewolves. I mean it’s obvious and I don’t blame her but it’s never been mentioned.

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
Honestly, I don’t think jealously is the emotion Max is feeling, he’s never been upset about Grape giving other guys attention, the few times he’s brought it up, it sounds more like he’s just upset by Grape not considering how he’d feel when she does it, and honestly, as fun as it is to watch Grape fawn over the hunks (and she tends to have excellent taste), I can understand how it could hurt to have your significant other always doing so. It definitely would make you wonder if they even think of you as anything special, and and with how insecure Max already is, that question likely pains him worse than most

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
Well he did go to gym to work out in an attempt to get more buff after Jata showed up.

Let’s examine these feelings Max has to get to the root of the problem.
Here’s a quote from Psychology today. “Most of us have some unresolved conflicts we carry from our childhood. We experience these conflicts as vulnerabilities, insecurities, or fears. When we fall in love and our love is reciprocated, these vulnerabilities, fears, and insecurities seem to vanish. We are loved despite our imperfections. We feel whole; we feel safe. But when this love is threatened, the fears and insecurities that we thought had gone forever come back in full force. If this person whom we love and adore--the person we thought loved us despite our flaws--is going to leave us for another, then there is no hope for us, ever! We no longer feel secure even in those things we previously loved in ourselves. As glowing as the love was, so dark is the shadow of its possible loss.”

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
Watch out when it’s two happy Cats
telling you how to show your feeling;
often it’s what they show, not what they say,
that comes across a most revealing.
Max lays out her fault but she doesn’t hear
as her distraction saunters across the room;
muscles moving under the gliding fur
just made her mind go ‘foom’.
Telling her happiness is about the other,
not about selfish needs or dreams;
it has to be said that, sometimes,
being in a pair is harder than it seems.

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
Oh dear. This has taken a surprising turn. When I heard about Rick's comment concerning the arc, I envisioned it'd be weird conventionally. The weirdest outcome I could think of was a polyamorous one. I never considered that Max and Grape could split too. I have two predictions now. I am both excited and terrified to learn the outcome.
Please presume I have no idea what I'm doing; it's okay. I do not. : )
Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
Hmmmmmmm, Maxwell in elaborate, excessively verbalized denial ... Grape's credibility dynamited by hulk (or any other) distraction ... Mungo innocently displaying his physique. Nope, nuthin' weird so far.....

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
Ohhhh Boy, This is not looking good at all.
Max, De'Nile is not just a River in Egypt, I think the problem is getting worse.
And frankly, the One who bought up 'Fungo', I am still feeling that Fox is in a Vulnerable state after being dropped like that.
Seriously, He spent years idling over that, and Now it was dropped So Suddenly? If he starts going with Mungo, I will actually keep asking if it is real, or a Flair of the moment Deal, especially with how its clear he is in a Fragile state.
Anyway, This is something I think actually needed to be addressed: The Two 'Nut and Grape' Ships were built on a Fragile foundation, and I think One had unintentionally lead to Peanut becoming lesser of Mind in the later years, since he was a mortal Dog, allowed to go on Trips across the Void, most of them Offscreen as pointed out at the Start of The GALLIFRAX PROTOCOL.
I am not saying Tarot did that intentionally, just saying that there may have been side effects of prolonged Multiverse travel without Divine protection.
The reason I say This is because all throughout their relationship, Peanut was relatively sane until the 2.0 artshift and GALLIFRAX PROTOCOL, where Peanut seemed to have completely lost his marbles.
Basically, he's become like RvB's Caboose: Starts out not very bright, but at least workable, to completely Detached from Reality by the later Seasons because of certain events, Caboose from his injuries, and Peanut possibly from over exposure to the Multiverse.

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
That...actually makes a sad and disturbing amount of sense. I'd noticed that peanut was acting a bit off lately, but with all the focus on other characters for the last few arcs, I didn't give much thought as to why. Hopefully we're leading into addressing that.John-056 wrote: Anyway, This is something I think actually needed to be addressed: The Two 'Nut and Grape' Ships were built on a Fragile foundation, and I think One had unintentionally lead to Peanut becoming lesser of Mind in the later years, since he was a mortal Dog, allowed to go on Trips across the Void, most of them Offscreen as pointed out at the Start of The GALLIFRAX PROTOCOL.

Poor Max, I don’t even think he wanted to interfere, and now it looks like he will break up with Grape. Hopefully, they’ll remain friends.

I love it how everyone looks at a comic strips, which could be entirely played for laughs, and directly thinks "Yup, they're going to break up."
I could imagine Peanut and Tarot look at Max and Grape and thinks "Nope, we're not going into that direction," and that's what ends up improving their relationship

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
Never seen Grape's tail with so much motion before! love those last two panels <3
This comic I never expected it to happen because how goofy it is. I read it like it was a lesson to the readers from Max and Grape about relationship advice with the way the two of them are acting all super happy in the first panel until Mungo shows up. Hilarious x3
Can't help but wonder if this arc is going to be Grape and Max trying to give advice to Tarot ~ only to realize ~ Yeah, their relationship is better than it sounds.

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
actually, I'm starting to think the point of the whole spa subplot was to undermine the naysayers who'd been complaining about some of the less stable relationships among the cast.
Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Way to go Grape with completely torpedoing the point you were trying to make by staring at Mungo and making Max feel not secure about it. That's really gonna help.

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
I find the first panel to be creepy. How they're looking right at the screen, right at me and smiling. I find it very unsettling.
It is funny how we shifted from Peanut and Tarot are going to split to Max and Grape are going to break up. My master plan is working.

Re: 2019/03/13 - Full Frontal Honesty
I think the main reason is because, aside from Bino and Sasha (who have broken up), and Bino and Duchess (who are meant to be a bad relationship + the cuddle suggests it’s not as one sided as we thought) TarotxPeanut and GrapexMax have always had the weakest dynamic. Max and Grape have never felt like more than friends, and Peanut and Tarot both seem to not understand how relationship should work, though in different ways. They all like each other, but honestly, it’s hard to believe they are romantically interested in each other. I’ll be fine with a breakup surprisingly for either group, just feels like odd timing for both groups, especially Grape and Max considering the previous arc. Still, Rick does seem to think we don’t know where an arc is gonna go in most cases, so perhaps are predictions have no actual basis. Still, he clearly knows how it looks, so if nothing else, the breakup hints are intentional I thinkfenrirblack wrote:I find the first panel to be creepy.
