Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
Right now I keep flip flopping between is he guilty or innocent? Would it a be a better story if he was guilty or innocent? The way I see it, if he's innocent then Part 2 was insignificant and Part 3 to a lesser extant. The entire point of Part 2 was meet Truck and Fals, get a pie from Mrs. McGilli...

Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
That is even more of a slap that we lied to ourselves. Because there was never any real significant clues or evidence that pointed to Steward. Steward as a character has never been important beyond a glorified accountant for the Miltons. Except, you know, the evil silhouette . The mystery, I think,...

I think the badger is the squirrels dad who gave up his human life for gold. We know exactly who Steward is and how he came to be a grumpy badger.

I'm pretty sure he had help, too. He couldn't have been at the zoo. I think Trinket (and maybe Corey) might be involved, but that's pure speculation and I have nothing to back it up.

Yup.

Trying to parse what he's saying... He could be telling them to either look for the gold, or go to the ruins of the temple where they could find clues. Both of those would likely lead them to Steward. But what throws me off is how Kitsune says "It's not gonna help with what you really need~&qu...

I'm just imagining after all this is over, Lois turns to Keene and is like, "You were right. He was no help at all."
And then Keene's like, "Actually, as far as I can tell, this is the most helpful he's ever been. He must really like you."
