Re: 2021/02/19 - What Demon Is Evolving
That does make me wonder how possession would be portrayed in the comic. During the game arc, whenever a demi-god took control of a person, their eyes changed color, but eye color isn't being drawn anymore. Though, if anyone just suddenly has green pupils, be afraid.

In the last page of Not All Dogs, there is exposition that dog heaven is more lenient than human heaven. I wonder how, and if, this plays into this.

The original pun was that he was a steward named Steward. Maybe he thought about it at the time, though if I had to take a guess, he either didn't think about or thought about it when he had decided to transform him.

The strip has made several references to mortal magic, though we only really see it in a gag when Tarot gets a new crystal tablet that gets caught updating.

If remember correctly, Keene didn't remember Spring and Summer. And the first time Fox visited, he mostly spent time with Spring and Summer. With the reveal of Heavendropper, that forgetfulness might not actually be an aspect of Heaven, but a byproduct of Spring and Summer messes with causality.

Re: 2021/01/29 - Punching Bag
I am pretty sure Kitsune isn't actually hurt by any of this. It seems like the cartoony physics, like his face being pancaked on the floor, is something that he is choosing to do with his shape-shifting. This guy is also friends with Pete, the person who decided to chain himself up for the aesthetic.

I think it is entirely feasible either way whether we see her again or not. It probably depends on if there is a story in the future that needs a female K9 or not.
