Yeah, I was already hoping for some promise of change seeing how the arc progressed but seems like we got the usual status quo with exception of Dragon's heartbreak.

Even if it's clear as day, we still latch on to tiniest slivers of hope to see if our beloved ship comes back. It never does though. Once friendzoned, always friendzoned.

Huh. All of the "it was just a dream" endings result in the characters waking up and realising that it was all just a dream, then finding out that it wasn't.

Don't know how I feel about this :/

I dont like tarot anymore. From now on her name will be written with all small caps.

I don't know why , but for some reason I keep seeing Peanut giggling in that last panel , like he's trying not to laugh at Tarot......weird.....

Ladies and Gents ~ I present to you, The Tarot Sandwich - The only sandwich that can see your future with every bite.

@Xane - While that maybe true about Tarot being unfair, part of the issue with Tarot is that she may just like to be in-charge all the time since she really is someone that goes through life with little to no errors and is trying to go straight to the source of the problem ~ Discipline. Peanut may also be aware of this, but hasn't come up with a possible solution or just wings it like he normally does.

Uh oh... Peanut...

So I'm guessing this is the end of the arc.

I hope next arc we get more of King and Bailey (and some stubby-legged husky puppies

)
In the end of the strip when Tarot says "We'll see about that!" really is a bit shocking to me.
does anyone else think that Grape kind of looks like a dog in the 1st pannel

Posted: **Wed Aug 28, 2013 12:29 pm**

Me: Tarot don't give Peanut too much punishment! After all, you and Dragon were the one who set up both the date and the choice that caused Peanut to freak out!

Tarot: But Dragon was...

Me: I don't care if Dragon was the one who thought it up first! You went along with it!

Tarot: But what about that 'normal' jab Peanut said?

Me: Was is that bad of an insult? Heck, was it even an insult at all?

It's nice how when I depict a character as being angry, people can assume they're humorless and angry forever

Posted: **Wed Aug 28, 2013 12:54 pm**

D'awww i find adorable how, at the end, grape forgave maxie :,3 i am still feeling bad for dragon tho, but hopefully she will get better soon :c and tarot grabbing peanut's ear xD that means that she and peanut will get married? o.o

I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

Hey Rick!

I get it. She's just ticked cause Peanut pretty much said her powers were weak.
*snrk*

You guys act like on moment of anger or sadness lasts forever.
She's mad. It passes. Big deal.
My have been metaphorically ear pinched for misunderstandings.
Oh well.

Also.
As a side note.

MY BOOK 4 IS COMING TODAY

Peanut: I choose Tarot.
Tarot: GO TO DE DOG HOUSE!!!

Posted: **Wed Aug 28, 2013 2:45 pm**

For those who still don't get it:
Read the last panel.

i simply love her reaction! XD

I still say the right choice was "Neither of you."

Maybe those Peanut X Duchess fans still have a chance.

X3 so THATS why it was called the doghouse

its good to know everyones problems wer resolved ya nobodies perfect especially peanut for making that normal remark

Sleet wrote:What exactly about her makes her a "charming young lady?" The fact that she didn't react positively to being insulted?
"[C]harming young lady" is a reference to King's curse in the last panel of this strip, presumably based on the word that King didn't say also being the generic term for a female dog (and, on an OOC basis, based on Rick wanting to keep the comic PG-rated ).

normally when king sweares its just gets cencerd

Most of your vocal fans prefer characters to be one dimensional. They aren't allowed flaws or personality quirks.

Like I, er, poemed.... She'll forgive him, I know. But she's entitled to be miffed at the 'normal' thing. For a bit.

Besides, she doesn't have an annoyed face in her panel and she's - sort of -talking about moving in together.

but thay need personality thats what makes it intresting and thats why this comic was nominated best anthromorphic comic of the year becuse you can relate to them

Welsh, I didn't realize that until you pointed that out!
She keeps throwing stuff at him he isn't prepared for.
I want you to choose, then I want to move in together.
I like Tarot, but she needs to calm down.

When did Peanut and Spirit Dragon date?

Posted: **Wed Aug 28, 2013 6:20 pm**

We don't see everything that happens in the characters' lives. They dated while the story was focused on something else.

Posted: **Wed Aug 28, 2013 6:22 pm**

Xane wrote:Yeah, it's completely fair for her to take it out on him afterward. Meanwhile Grape has a reasonable mature conversation with Max. Kind of hard not to see Tarot as less than ideal for Peanut. Too bad Sabrina's already taken, she's a lot more level-headed than Tarot is.

He said something that offended her when he was too in distress to sugarcoat it. The fact that he said it suggests he actually thinks she's weird deep down. Being offended does not make her maladjusted.

I take it most of the people demonizing Tarot have never been in relationships.

Wait a minute Diss! Are you saying that Peanut and Dragon has been dating while we've been watching arcs involving King?

Sleet wrote:I take it most of the people demonizing Tarot have never been in relationships.

I was joking. I didn't mean to demonize her.

Sleet wrote: I take it most of the people demonizing Tarot have never been in relationships.

Just wait until she starts bringing up things he said three years ago and has completely forgotten.

Then you'll know it's a real relationship.

Of course given Tarot, she'll bring up things he hasn't done yet as well.

Posted: **Wed Aug 28, 2013 7:02 pm**

I think you've got a pretty good grasp of the situation. *giggles*

Posted: **Wed Aug 28, 2013 7:16 pm**

Hmmm ................................. I bet Peanut is beginning to regret his choice

Posted: **Wed Aug 28, 2013 7:27 pm**

In the end, we never found out what the "protocol" in this arc's title was, or why the title was written in all caps. I can live with that, though.

rickgriffin wrote:It's nice how when I depict a character as being angry, people can assume they're humorless and angry forever

It's nice how you think all of us share that opinion. >:I

Sounds like that's what's gonna happen.

Maybe by "normal" he was actually trying to say "average", as in, he thought she was becoming like every other non-supernaturally-powered dog?

It happened offscreen, like the incident with the chicken.

It's good to be back to our normal selves-- wait Tarot, I didn't mean it like that. No stop! Please!! OWOWOWOWOWOW EAR EAR EAR!!!

"normal" , you were asking for that

Wow, I really like where Rick's art style is going! The characters are looking really good.

Posted: **Wed Aug 28, 2013 10:56 pm**

*is suddenly yanked by ear into conversation with a confused look* Whoa...now I know how Max's 'was it all a dream' moments feel.

Posted: **Wed Aug 28, 2013 10:57 pm**

So Max and Grape get really comfy while Tarot gets to vent! Poor Peanut, he knew it was a mistake as soon as he said that...

She will make cookies! Cookies make everything better! And up until the dog house, it sounds like a decent date!

Peanut's face is just perfect.

I believe it was when Sabrina took Peanut to the frost giant fight.
She tried to kiss Peanut, but she ended up kissing Sabrina. Awkward.
