Yes! We get important dialog AND puppies!
...Are you implying that puppies are not important dialogue?
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".
Yeah, I liked him too! But, I've never found any of the characters on the TV Tropes Scrappy page annoying!
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! :)
Ah, so that's Gren's full name?
Looks that way, yes. :)
Barber's Greenwich Whiterunner, as I recall.
OK. those puppies are almost as adorable in this comic as they'd be in real life.
Points to Nicola for being ready with a knife.
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."
That don't look like a butter knife to me! More like a steak knife!
Oh my god that fourth panel is there anything in it that's NOT adorable?
Apart from the irritating children?
:-)
i will fight you put up your dukes let's rumble
Hey, I love children really. Couldn't eat a whole one though.
(exits the room rapidly).
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.
That's a damn big chicken. Perhaps a turkey or a goose? Just a minor point.
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.
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?)
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.
Lit' Fenton looks like she found a stash of drugs XD
fluffy, furry drugs.
The pup-lup she's holding has no remorse. None! xD
Fenton! FENTON!!!
JESUS CHRIST!

Hahahahahahah what XD
Oh my God I've never seen that before.
And they knew exactly the right time to turn up and not miss supper, of course!
Name: Roast. Status: Doomed.
Kids and puppies.
Dangerous {ly cute} combination.
PUPPIES PUPPIES PUPPIES
Can't help thinking that Ms Ashwin would make a better living by just drawing pictures of puppies.
Mini-Grens! Yes!
Mini-Grens, mini-Grens everywhere.
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.
Gear up:
Does Edward have any of this kind of dog?
That looks a bit like Mouse, Harry Dresden's dogosaurus.
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.
And the sideways glance Nicole is giving her in the first panel.
TEENY TINY PUPPY PAWS!!!!!
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!')
Those are some seriously happy puppies :D <3
Also : "In in here"?
Good to see Gren's recovered from the carriage trauma :P
So does Harry tell Gren its 'Mean Time' instead of 'Attack'? :D
