Title Text:  just to be safe I went back and ensured that nobody ever had the name, "Actually". This is why it's now improper to rebut anyone with "Well, Actually,"

Dang it, Spot, manipulating the space-time continuum leaves a mess that the janitors hate cleaning.

[Saturn381]

Well at least he's honest.

[Gbr23]

Hahahah... wait, am I real?

I just actually noticed something I didn't saw the first time. Both hilarious and genius

[fenrirblack]

Ooh, honesty. how refreshing.

So is the “actually” supposed to be a cue that Larry is actually Lars?

Next time? Do we need a next time? I mean three is the pattern but it’s Friday. New week, new Chapter.

[Lockely]

Hahahah... wait, am I real?

Is any of us? Are we all just holograms...?

Computer, End Program... Computer, Arch. Well, we don't have access to that at least.

[Silly Zealot]

Fourth panel, he has three arms. Huehue!

Title Text:  just to be safe I went back and ensured that nobody ever had the name, "Actually". This is why it's now improper to rebut anyone with "Well, Actually,"[/color]

Good thing I always rebut with "Well, actually" with the "a" in lower case. Joke's on you, floating text!

Well at least he's honest.

And isn't that the best!

[Ash Greytree]

Is one of the side effects of all that time travel the fact that Spot now has three arms?!? o_O Or did a future him time travel back to the past just to touch his own nose/wipe his tears from laughing so much?

Either way, I laughed real hard at that panel.

[Welsh Halfwit]

Hahahah... wait, am I real?

Computer, End Program... Computer, Arch. Well, we don't have access to that at least.

You don't because you're not self aware. And no-one told the computer you had to beat 'Data'

Causality pops on the vine
as Spots’ letters now continue;
at least he’s avoiding cliché
like “the answer is within you”.
Do the letters really exist?
Does the reader for that matter?
If we found we’re a fever dream
would our reality really shatter?
He’ll continue to read them out,
every letter and missive he’s got;
until the writer works things through
and proceeds on with the main plot.

Peanut must've switched paper. The lines on this and the previous are spaced twice as much as is the norm for Spot (Superdog) comics.

[Silly Zealot]

Spot (superego) comics.

Getting a little Freudian, aren't we?

Next time? Do we need a next time? I mean three is the pattern but it’s Friday. New week, new Chapter.

Spoiler: Marion died on the treehouse from exposure.*
Let's continue with Spot (superdog) for forever!



*No, not the currency they pay online artists with

The thrill of a new notebook - remember it well. Three arms?

Probably just one moving at superspeed to scratch his nose.

Actually, that was nothing more than my autocorrect not believing "superdog" is a word and me not being vigilant enough. I fixed the original.

[D-Rock]

The third arm thing reminds me of this.

[Argent]

Computer, End Program... Computer, Arch. Well, we don't have access to that at least.

Did you try "Abulafia" or "Prikazyvat Screen"?

[SeanWolf]

"Next Time - Letters Explode" Hm..I wonder if that means a standard boom, a Michael Bay-style boom, or a Death Star style boom....

[NHWestoN]

However it booms, it certainly sounds sinister.

[Amazee Dayzee]

I think we all learned a very important lesson here with this strip. That is don't tick off Spot or he'll make sure you don't exist. LOL

[dr_eirik]

Yeah, I think I'm going to hold my questions for Spot for the time being. He seems to be a bit cranky.

[Sleet]

Well, Spot (professor) is kinda a stand-in for Rick, who makes the comic and therefore fully controls the existence of his characters so...

...it makes sense.

[shadowlucario50]

Spot has three hands in Panel Four. I believe we've found a new superpower of his. Body manipulation!

[fenrirblack]

If Peanut is in fact “making” these comics then I feel like this is an extension of his writers block from before. Now we’ve reached the point where he is so distraught that he has to have Spot erase the nagging voices in his head and his own self doubt. Then accept the fact that he still has NOTHING.

Meanwhile Marion is sitting alone in a treehouse cold and scared while a Peanut is making angry comics about people who don’t exist.

[Cesco]

Eheh, this fact was already evident in the previous strip. Spot (Superdog) is inventing everything... What a failed superhero, you're now over. Good he's being sincere, at last. Wow, is that a third arm? That must be a new sort of superpower...

[NHWestoN]

"Third arm"? Makes me think of an ancient episode of The Twilight Zone about a Martian in a café scouting out earth for invasion - he had a third arm. He was in conversation with the diner manager who turned out to be a three-eyed Venusian - and hostile besides.

Thankfully, it's Friday...…..

[jonas]

Spot the Superdog: amusing scribbly Golden Age sendup, or three-armed existential menace that needs to be stopped before he destroys us all? D:

[furrygamer793]

So is Spot an anti-hero now?
(And to avoid confusion what I mean is that Spot is now erasing innocent people from existence but not being an all out villain.)

[Amazee Dayzee]

Not sure how you can not be an all-out villain if you are erasing innocent people who just annoy you out of existence. That does seem to be like something a villain does. Anyway its not connected to the main arc so I won't give it too much thought.

[Champion Wallace]

Now?

[NHWestoN]

Fatality … the final comic frontier.

I am so scared that because they are one-offs, Peanut’s writer/artist block alongside Craig’s suggested friendship with Olive is gonna be treated as non-canon. Those are some genius plot points I don’t want thrown out. Especially the former, as while Peanut is still funny, that block is the first time he might have character growth in a long time

Craig and Olive?? Gosh, that one slipped right by me.
...and how about more stage time for Rook?

[Argent]

The thing that will really bake your biscuit, you want to know what that is?

Marion doesn't exist either.

Nor does Peanut.

[Amazee Dayzee]

Then you can justify ANYTHING happening in the comic by saying that it doesn't exist but if you do, then you won't enjoy it so saying that is just a copout and makes it sound like one doesn't care.

Well, yes, so why draw the line at Spot's letter writers?

I could see Peanut going on an adventure of sorts to find "inspiration." It's kinda a trope but it could still work and its not like its not a real thing that people do. That's it! Peanut and Marion help each other. Peanut needs inspiration and Marion needs to be human so they work together on a wacky adventure. If Peanut was inspired by Max's story then he could totally benefit from playing the role of Rufus and being the guiding protector of this lost soul.

[NHWestoN]

...gotta get Marion outta that tree house. Or someone else ( beside Bart Simpson and Milhous) up into that tree house. Trinket might ....?

[Amazee Dayzee]

Hopefully it will be somebody who won't cause even more damage.

[fenrirblack]

Hopefully it will be somebody who won't cause even more damage.

At least not intentionally. At this point I'm not ruling anyone out.

We have essentially three options at this point. A pet finds him, a feral finds him, a human (Lois) finds him.

Why would they be considered non-canon just because they're one-offs? They don't have as much story to them, but they're just as canon as the arcs.

[Amazee Dayzee]

I think the Olive/Craig friendship will stick but these comics have to be non-canon since it was the alt text that said that Peanut was doing a comic that had the same title as the arc and the alt text ISN'T canon.
