WHo is the new dog and how do we get him with out cloths on ?

This.

Btw his name is gary and we need to see gary nude.

Well... there's a strong possibility that "River" just turned up, so the best way for Gary to get naked, is if he says:
"Hey wait a sec, that's the hot girl on your phone... and she's actually a guy? I'm cool with that, he's still hot, like me, let's go have a threesome in the alley"
I can dream right?

Yes, yes you can

I'm sorry, but this comment made me laugh too hard

Well, I don't see this going wrong at all XD Poor Coop

bam the girl hes crushing on revealed to be not a girl. OR its andy XD

shit is going to get awkward fast

Surprise, surprise. I got 5 bucks that says I know who it is.

Also is Coop specifically targetin' that River person or maybe someone else...

Man, Cooper really got himself into a pickle, the guy just really needs to get his act together. Also, Gary seems like a pretty enthusiastic fella, but it's also nice to see he seems to have grown into a decent guy, and his shacking up someplace else just makes me more curious about him. And that expression in the final panel is definitely fitting for that old saying, "one picture can say a thousand words".

Lemme guess - it’s the dog we saw the club owner interviewing from the very end of the last or very beginning of this chapter...

Ya mean River? The dancer right

That was the blond one that tried seducing the club owner during his interview, right?

Yeah, the same one that’s cross dressing at the club now.

or river and andy walked in to the restraunt and they go "hey you know my brother what are the odds" XD

I love the idea of River being Andy's brother, but I think that if he was, Cooper would have recognized River to begin with.

Oh man, Coop just can't catch a break at all.

The universe is trying to tell him something and Coop just keeps not listening.

One day, the universe will sneak up on him and yell in his ear.

I think the universe is getting her shouting voice ready

welp, calling it now that River's true form shall be revealed and it's gonna give Coop another Identity crisis

I have a feeling that the person serving will be “River” and Cooper will soon realize that “River” isn’t a girl but a guy in drag. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Also hope to see more Andy and Emery in the story, really want to know what happens to them as they’ve been absent for a very long time

then coop will sort of distance self from river and river ask why then his insecurity with being Gay Bi or what ever shows up and river helps him get over the conflicting feelings. which only reason he hates him self is due to his father being a dick.

yup..i'll buy. River was in drag and Andy is going to have yet another freakout. Poor pup..get the xanax.


Garrard.

... calling it now its his ... ex? well the chick that hooked him up with the job and see might see the photo also i have a feeling the "stripper" isn't a she but a he not that there's anything wrong with that

I also think unseen person (waitress?) is probably Chelsea.

Nice to see Gary in full color. He's way better-looking this way. Also, Cooper's face in the last panel... though really, ALL his expressions in the bottom three panels... I mean... Coop...! xD

Oh wait, hang on, in the 3rd panel, that background guy in green, he was at Chelsea's party! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/25789184/

Good catch! Funny that he's wearing the same sweater XD

Thanks! Haha, yeah... although to be fair, its been several days, if not a couple of weeks, since the party occurred. People do tend to re-wear clothes they already own, and coincidences do happen... that, or the artist just wasn't interested in coming up with a new shirt. xD

I remember reading a lot of comments that people wanted to see more of that character... Maybe they're getting their wish...? O.o

Perhaps. xD Though I myself was more intrigued by the dark-colored dude in the red shirt, the one next to Andy: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/25789184/

Now HE was *cute*! LOL!

Oh yeah! I like him too XD Maybe we'll get more extras showing up again and again XD

Maybe! Hopefully. xD

i want to see him dance on the pole for some cash

Just in case you guys can't find him, here is Gary's first appearance in Summer's Gone. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26210535/

Do you think Gary is one of Cooper's camp friends from Summer's gone?

I think so. I thought he was the short chubby dog from the prank but only Jackaloo knows.

That's what I was thinking, and it would add up, since he said he "lost a lotta tub."

And he's much nicer then when he was a pup.

Gary is one of Cooper's camp friends. Jackaloo just confirmed it.

He's got great interest in girls!

Dramatic entrance alert!

Cooper just gets hotter and hotter, but the homo action becomes more and more unlikely...

I don't think it's river but either Andy or Chealsea

she has just arrived, hasn't she?

..what did you say?

Look like someone unattended appears

I wonder if River 'Ocean' Lakes is dressed as some guy.

CurbYourEnthusiasm.mp3

It's definitely River.

That face in the last pannel, I wanna hug the poor Pooper Cooper.

Oh! The plot thickens!

Aw man! I fell in love with the grey B/W Gary. Now that he's coloured he's not as attractive. Something about his white eyebrows definitely added to his attraction when he was grey Gary.
I still like the way he's always concerned for Coop. He seems like a good friend to have....His floppy little ears are still great too.

Really? I find him more attractive in color. Plus Jackaloo's art has come a long way since that page. :)

Jackaloo's artwork sure has improved.

The first Gary I laid eyes on tends to be the most attractive and I was taken aback that Gary looks so different in colour. Plus Summer's Gone had so many "feel" moments to it to make him so lovable. I also like the going back through time concept of the comic which made Summer's Gone feel like a journey. And twice Gary was involved in that journey and once again the second time he was shown he was trying to help out our protagonist-antagonist?, character with a lot of issues to work out? I'm unsure which type of character Coops is up to this point?

*Sorry if my reply sounds more like an essay than a reply*

It sure has. :D

Well, I guess it just feels like this Gary (the colored one) is a different character, then? But Its still the same guy. Gary did mention on this page that he would have offered Coop a place to stay, except Gary's already moving in with, presumably, his girlfriend, so that wouldn't work out. So he's still his helpful self, just that circumstances prevent him from doing so. Thus, he offers more positive "guy talk" to try and raise Cooper's spirits.

I really like the way you drew Coopers friend.

OOOOOOOOOH SHIZ'ABOUT TO GET REAL!

Obviously Cooper isn't reacting well to finding out that River did in fact bring a "snake" to the show. What I'm curious about is how he is going to react with Gary right there watching the whole thing and knowing that Coop had the hots for a drag queen.

P.S. I know I said it in the shouts, (so I'm not trying to be annoying) but can we get a Vic and Roger (from "After the Party") cameo? That would be so awesome!

My fishy instincts tell me that Cooper and Gary would make the most adorable couple. If the Garemeister is up for it and Cooper too for that matter? Gary did break up with Holly in Summer's Gone for a reason. Could it be that Gary's not telling us everything about himself?....??????.....🤔

Do I see a theorist😏

Haha! Maybe? I'm just guessing from way back when Gary said he broke up with Holly in the bar scene so my mind immediately turned to, "OMG, Gary could like males." 😆

Gary said on this page that he's "shacking up", suggesting he's found himself another girl.

So does no one think it's Chelsea, she said she had another job

"Oh shiiiiit! Ha! Think she's into you?"

"I think so. If I had the chance I'd totally-"

"Sorry for the wait guys! We're a little short staffed right now and --

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFVj0Z6ahcI

Never saw it coming.

[HYPED FOR P5R NEWS]

Also, STILL one of my favorite expressions. <3 Keep it up Jackaloo >X3

I see that little OK sign Gary's makin. Don't think you're gonna get those memes past me!

ANDYS COMING!!!!

Well, if their waiter/waitress IS River... at least Coop is finding out now instead of making out with "her" somewhere, reaching down to cop a feel and SURPRISE.

Seriously, if it played out that way I think Coop would hurt himself or really contemplate doing so.

I know he's been a jerk lot of the time (thanks to his awful father) but cooper can be so cute.

Right... the ONE "girl" he falls in love with... What are the odds?

He's only attracted to her because she looks like Andy.

I suppose I have to be the only one with a dissenting view of things. After the perfect pacing of Volume One, and some great stuff earlier in this volume, the pacing has screeched to a halt. And a lot of things have been introduced that add a lot of bulk to what started as a simple but very ripe and engaging story of what I'd call a "love triangle with complications." There's plenty of room for a fantastic, rich comic there without trying to be the War And Peace of comics.

First we have Avery hanging out with strip club owners and what else? Maybe it's just me, but I got the impression from his characterization in volume one that he had some class. And before you think it; yes, he wanted an intern with benefits. But he did, remember, be completely up front about it, and he was never, ever crass or cheap about it. He even seemed a little cutely coy when first bringing it up, and later expected a dress-up dinner date (where they goofed on the "dress code").

Now we have subplot after subplot of dancers and bouncers and club owners and lord knows what else and a, unless a major "fill in the holes with several pages of flashback" section is on the way, total abandonment of the utterly critical kiss moment they had on New Years. Really, everyone just kinda wandered on from such a gut-wrenching moment? Seriously?

Cooper finally had a moment where he crashed through years of repression. That is a major, major, MAJOR moment in character, and speaks volumes of his unspoken, maybe even unacknowledged, feelings for Andy; and it's dropped like a sack of potatoes.

Some caveats - I haven't seen any of the companion/side project comics, so I'm only able to follow the main comic being shown here on FA. Having said that, you shouldn't need them. Also, I have no idea what's coming, so I have to admit that maybe I'm being impatient and the next page will tie this all together somehow. But I doubt it. And last, the artwork and especially the work on people's expressions are just absolutely awesome!

I would love to see the focus return to the relationship triad that popped out of volume one. It was much more interesting than titty club dancers, and has oceans of relationship material it could explore.

So I'm sorry, go ahead and hate me, but I'm baffled at the abandonment of crucial life moments, and a sudden explosion of characters and plot threads. I know a comic needs more than just an unrelenting focus on the main story, but I shudder to say that the last few pages have gotten, oh my gosh, dull.

Last Panal must be strucking Lucky Charm Gold and this garys hot as fuck!

Now Cooper feels even gayer.

The intro to the ever lovely, sexy, and just loveable Gary.
