Housepets!

Not a very smart thing to say, Ptah.

He isn't very good with the ladies is he?

Is that his hat slinking down to the side in the last panel? I never thought of it as cloth...

Yeah, I'm surprised that Grape didn't do more than just that... Where's the broom when you need one...

Never change Grape ... Never change

Well, if you're going to have someone as your queen, it would help to learn how she is. Live and Learn.

Go on, King,
turn that frown upside down.
Go on King,
stop acting the downtrodden clown.

Come on, Ptah,
you know you can trust him really.
Come on, Ptah,
you once defeated him – nearly.

Grow up, Cat,
these nuts are your Queen's friends.
Grow up, Cat,
they're covered by the bond that never ends.

Let them in, Kitten,
let them all stay and see your glory.
Let them in, Kitten,
and Peanut might finish part 4 of his story.

Well Ptah and Satau get along a lot better than I thought.

If that is then Dragon gave the embodiment of the powers of the gods to someone as a towel.

I think the new hat is an improvement lol

OOI, is Satau calling Tarot a cat?

Hah! Got what's comin' ta ya, you scrawny Feline half-wit!

Funny thing was, I found it kinda hard to side with Maxie's idea of Dragon giving Ptah power to act as balancer. It might have been the intention at the beginning, but Ptah apparently decided to just lord over the cats and possibly abuse his power.

I mean, look at the Canids, they let their possible descendants in without much fuss, even though they also brought in cats, who're supposed to be their enemies. It's like they're trying to be diplomatic with the Cats, who just don't want anything to do with the dogs!

I mean, my first impression of Ptah, is that he's an arrogant jerk from pose alone! (I would have used a much more vulgar quote for Ptah, but that would get me kicked out of the forums) Satau, on the other hand, was polite upon first meeting, even if he wasn't too bright. (His belief of Timetravel comes to mind.)

Ptah isn't very good with females. All he has to show for it is his soggy hat. Good job, Grape.

Ptah is being very cunning to Satau, but the bowl proves him wrong in the end. Very nice, Grape. He looks like Bino with that bowl on his head :3

He clearly wants Grape to stay here. Wonder how this will turn out for our time travelers =3

"You trashed the crown of lower Egypt! That's a priceless archaeological artifact!"

"We're 7000 years in the past. Everything's a priceless archaeological artifact."

"Even the..."

"Yes!"

"Whoa!"

[read in Bill & Ted's voices]

Satau's expression in the last panel suggests, "I coulda toldja that was going to happen."

Finally, a good side shot of the deshret.

And Ptah, just be glad she was only using a bowl.

I love thinking of Peanut as a Dog-bard. That is amazing. <3

But, by saying 'Dog Bard and some cats', is he saying he regards Tarot as feline? Or is she not staying?

If you'll be my doggy-bard, I can be your long-lost pal...

well, to be fair, females were really only asked if they had an army to enforce their "or else"s

Hey Maxie, about your idea.

*cracks knuckles* I'd be glad to help.

Eh, but Ptah wasn't going to do that, because he didn't know you had guests to bring him, Satau... It's you who invited them to his feast with the "power", so, it's a point for Ptah, this time. Uhm, but probably you don't like the idea to host them in the cat compound for the night, Ptah, until Grape convinced you. Nice Chinese hat. Come on, improvise, you should have plenty of rooms. You wished to have a permanently silent sweet queen at your side? You still don't know her temper, eheh. Oh yes, dog-bard is a perfect naming for Peanut. Yeah, apparently Satau forgot about Tarot, who is a dog.
Great facial expressions in this strip.

Yes I love that dog-bard thing too, it really fits peanut

Well my guess is that Satau doesn't want to let Ptah being near to Tarot, because she was Dragon's avatar. That is my only guess...well that and maybe he wants to get mushy with her

Which might not be good for Tarot... Or does Ptah have another reason for accusing Satau of abuse of power?

Well I was originally worried about the dogs overtaking the cats but since it seems like the cats would overtake the dogs if they let Ptah keep the stupidstylish hat, I'm all for Max's idea.

Good question, my three guesses are:
-either Ptah is just jealous and he thought Satau somehow cheated to become Dragon's avatar (if Ptah knew what happened to Satau, maybe he wouldn't mind being second.)
-Satau isn't always as nice as he is now (Somehow I doubt that and he would be still an better alternative as Ptah, even if Ptah has such an awesome hat)
-Ptah refers to Satau's puppy eyes as power and Satau uses them often when he is about to get in trouble with the chief of his tribe (And I really hope it's something like that )

Satau. Is. Awesome.

you know, i was just thinking: do we know how barda work at this point in time? Maybe he's including Tarot too when he mentions the dog bard, in the same way one would include with a knight his horse and his squire

Who wants to bet the hat is not the artifact.

I was reminded of this:

"Might as well."

Grape, you're in trouble, young woman!

Funny scene, loved that movie.

I'm beginning to believe that the hat might end up being a fake out and he has the real artifact hidden somewhere.

Don't forget, in that area, a few thousand years from that era, cats *were* sacred and animal-headed people *were* gods.

Basically, Egypt is Dragon's fault.

Somebody should totally point that out to her.
