Yey! Now he's symmetric... ...almost!

Max would clearly not survive another week in that dimension.

The minimum of boots required to be a boots salescat is two. So I guess he should start setting up shop. And do I sense a hint of Garfield when I look at this strip?

Max is just a magnet for boots here isn't he? Also this arc seems to have the running theme of Max and Peanut being (unintentionally) annoying to Grape and Tarot.

Sourpuss must be such a weird phrase for them.

Clearly that cliche doesn't exist in his universe. Otherwise he shoulda seen it coming.

I believe that is every arch where all four of them are present.

Can't see why not.

What I love about today's comic is despite no matter how awesome Max is, Grape is just picking up the genre savvyness from a mile away everytime. That, or she thinks 'Some One's Rocking My Dream Boat' is just a corny song. <3

Also, Maxwell went from faceplanting roads to caterwauling fences like a pro.

Why calling the one who threw the boot a jerk? You don't know what you are calling people, Mister witty text link to the forums, you don't know what you are calling people! *Runs off crying*

That's probably because cats in his dimension can both sing very well AND throw back the boots.

Hmmm... I smell a new running gag for Max...?
Either way, I doubt this will be the last we see of that boot...

Well, he certainly couldn't catch the boot. :v

Our Max!
He does his best now, to cheer her
because, unlike dogs, he don't fear her
and he's hoping that he can please her
but he's really starting to cheese her
Our Max!
He's really putting the song on
He's really getting his game on
He's really putting his groove on
He's also getting a new boot on
Our Max!
He's really tuned like Sinatra
He really knows he should go far
but only with his Grape to star
and leave the door of love ajar...
Poor Max...
We'll see him standing alone
When she leaves him all alone
to cut off on her own
his heart will sink like a stone...
Blue Max


He's a lovely guy, Grape! You won't do better around there!

He's so the victim here! And he's trying his best to make up for being a jerk before.

Max is a boot-magnet, they just throw themselves at him!

I got 20 clams that say that he gets 4 boots in this arc.

I don't care if it's technically feasible, I'm saying that Grape threw it. :3

Now he has both boots. He should take them home.

And to my surprise, Max is already pretty skilled as a quadruped. :D

Normally a cat would dodge, but this is Max we're talking about.

Is Max secretly Thomas O'Malley? A less succesful, boot-attracting version at least?

I wasn;t singing it out loud but the tune is now stuck in my head - and I looked to see if there were any unsecured footgear laying about.

BTW, now he's got both the right AND the left - and they look a whole lot like Ugg Adirondack, size 11 EE .

Not a cheap boot - so Max's singing mustv'e been ...commentable!

In other thoughts, the song in my head has changed to one by the band "the Stray Cats":
(recited from memory)
"Stray cat strut, I'm a ladie's cat... A real casanova, hey! man, where it's at!;
Get a shoe thrown at me by a mean ol' man; I get my dinner from a garbage can..."

I thought I was the only one that listened to them!

Yeah, don't cross my path!

I don't bother
Chasing mice around...woah no
I slink down the alley
Lookin for a fight
Howl into the moonlight
On a hot summer night!

That's Abraham de Lacey Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley, if you please. Only if he starts crooning, Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat.

For some reason, Max looked pretty silly(or cute) in the 3rd panel. Also, right when I saw him climb the fence, I went "Garfield!". Suprisingly, no fat, orange cat came to say "Hey, this is my fence!",

I don't think they would have it as bad as Max though, cause at least there's a possibility that the Fiddler and Keys of that world actually know how to sing. I'm not sure what folks think, but I personally think that Max is unfortunately just one of those few that should NEVER sing ever.
Don’t click this link if you threw that boot, you jerk!
Good thing I didn't throw it then. :D
Come to think of it, I don't think I would ever need a boot to shush an annoying cat at night. My neighborhood is predominantly dog owners who keep at least one dog in their backyard, and all are ones that don't like cats. That actually includes my family. :(

This is probably who Galifrax Keys is. Fiddler is up a creek without thumbs though.

Funny thing is, when I saw Max 2.0 rebooted as the alt text, I was thinking of the radio station. *boot*

Otherwise, I would've said it won't be long until Max literally lands on the blue screen of death. *brick*
