    Yes! We get important dialog AND puppies!

    • CorvusCornix 11 years ago archived

      ...Are you implying that puppies are not important dialogue?

      • Elprentis 11 years ago archived

        The problem is, they are so important the rest of the dialogue seems rather pointless! :p

    I'm glad to see someone else doesn't remember Scrappy Doo as irritating. (It seems most on the internet remember him as, ahem "an annoying little pile".

    • Siberian Hamster 11 years ago archived

      Yeah, I liked him too! But, I've never found any of the characters on the TV Tropes Scrappy page annoying!

  • Jonathan Trouba 11 years ago archived

    Oh, very nice false scare. That could have turned very nasty very quickly if the children were kidnapped.


    Toying with our emotions as always, Miss Ashwin. Keep up the good manipulation! :)

  • Qwertystop 11 years ago archived

    Ah, so that's Gren's full name?

    • Euodiachloris 11 years ago archived

      Looks that way, yes. :)

    • Phlebas 11 years ago archived

      Barber's Greenwich Whiterunner, as I recall.

  • Jordan Hiller 11 years ago archived

    OK. those puppies are almost as adorable in this comic as they'd be in real life.

  • Ganurath 11 years ago archived

    Points to Nicola for being ready with a knife.

    • Apvogt 11 years ago archived

      Henry and Harry probably drew a pistol simultaneously.

      Edit:Many people would say,"It's just a butter knife. What's she gonna do with it?"

      I say,"Maintain a distance of 20 feet from Nicole while she is holding the knife."

      • Columbine 11 years ago archived

        That don't look like a butter knife to me! More like a steak knife!

  • Marvelous TK 11 years ago archived

    Oh my god that fourth panel is there anything in it that's NOT adorable?

    • Sturzkampf 11 years ago archived

      Apart from the irritating children?


      :-)

      • Marvelous TK 11 years ago archived

        i will fight you put up your dukes let's rumble

        • Sturzkampf 11 years ago archived

          Hey, I love children really. Couldn't eat a whole one though.

          (exits the room rapidly).

  • Columbine 11 years ago archived

    BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Excellent puncturing of the typical horror movie 'oh wait those guys went out in the dark and haven't been back for Some Time'. And is it just me or do the puppies share a build with the PHoH?


    And someone should probably stop Gren eating the chicken. Just a minor point.

    • CorvusCornix 11 years ago archived

      That's a damn big chicken. Perhaps a turkey or a goose? Just a minor point.

      • =Tamar 11 years ago archived

        Probably a goose, but recently I've seen a chicken the size of a medium-sized turkey. For real. Two, in fact, served for dinner at a party.

        • Semi Anon 11 years ago archived

          You can castrate young male roosters, which is called caponization and produces extra-large birds, called capons. No, I have no idea how rooster castration works, but it was a traditional method for thousands of years, so totally possible in this setting. (Modern capons can apparently be chemically castrated?)

      • Columbine 11 years ago archived

        Yeah you can get chicken that big. Goose might be more likely but I thought you left the neck on when you dressed them?


        Edit: Turns out you don't leave the neck on a goose you use it to make gravy. Seems a bit of a waste though, I mean it's a bird that's pretty blessed in the neck-department.

  • Darkoneko Hellsing 11 years ago archived

    Lit' Fenton looks like she found a stash of drugs XD


    fluffy, furry drugs.

  • Siberian Hamster 11 years ago archived

    And they knew exactly the right time to turn up and not miss supper, of course!

  • Euodiachloris 11 years ago archived

    Name: Roast. Status: Doomed.

    Kids and puppies.


    Dangerous {ly cute} combination.

  • Sturzkampf 11 years ago archived

    Can't help thinking that Ms Ashwin would make a better living by just drawing pictures of puppies.

  • Phlebas 11 years ago archived

    Mini-Grens! Yes!

    • Apvogt 11 years ago archived

      Mini-Grens, mini-Grens everywhere.

  • awhorl 11 years ago archived

    Oh duh. I am SO slow. Gren knows what time it is. And she's a watch . . . sorry. At least the kids are wound up, if I'm not.

  • Apvogt 11 years ago archived

    Gear up:

    • Apvogt 11 years ago archived

      Does Edward have any of this kind of dog?

      • John 11 years ago archived

        That looks a bit like Mouse, Harry Dresden's dogosaurus.

      • Ilmari 7 years ago archived

        size , head shape, and coat look about right for a Leonberger, though they usually have more black on them. I don't know dogs, but I was by chance the keeper of a Leonberger onve, so those I'm familar with.


        And yes, they're the sort of dog that walks you.

  • Apvogt 11 years ago archived

    And the sideways glance Nicole is giving her in the first panel.

  • Twirls 11 years ago archived

    TEENY TINY PUPPY PAWS!!!!!

  • Columbine 11 years ago archived

    I figure she's just being very English. It would not do to show external responses to the cuteness level in the room! Anything above a wry smile is just going overboard! (Or may be it just takes her a while to go from 'must stab baddies' to 'awwww puppies!')

  • Hekkio 11 years ago archived

    Those are some seriously happy puppies :D <3

    Also : "In in here"?

  • Jaemaru 11 years ago archived

    Good to see Gren's recovered from the carriage trauma :P

  • Guest 11 years ago archived

    So does Harry tell Gren its 'Mean Time' instead of 'Attack'? :D
