Yes, church is pretty much always like this.

I was skeptical at first, but now I see some merit in the wedding rehearsal. And Fox is showing yet another reason I dislike tuxedoes.

We finally get a glimpse of one of Rodney's cubs! Cute.

He's tagged as "Darth Vader Sanchez" so don't speak too soon.

@Duster There's a name tag at the bottom of the strip that says 'Rodney's pup'. :)

Awh! I pity fox, but I love him and his fails so much. He's the main reason I read the comic. X3 And weird thing? My mom told me I'd be most likely to pass out at a wedding two years ago! :lol: And then I come and read this comic. X3 And I love how Fox's and my personalities are almost identical. (That, and we share the same name!)

I absolutely love this comic, and Housepets! Overall. It really makes me laugh outloud for real. Keep up the amazing work, Rick! :'D

so I guess now we have a bit of a reference for how fast a cub reaches the maturity of a toddler in the HP universe.

Unlikely. The dark side of the moon is the side of the Earth's natural satellite that is not lit by the sun. Which is what the Pink Floyd album is named after.

Oh no that flower girl cub swallowed the ring, don't worry King you get your ring back in 2 days and you might need a lot of cleaning products.

Hold a sec, how much time passed between "The unbearable lightness of being a dog" and this arc? That cub born and grew up really fast, don't you think? At least I figured she would be a little baby on her mom's arms for the first time. But well, details...

So it's seems that Miles' cubs have chosen their names, and one of them is a Darth Vader latino? Watch out Max, now you have a rival. :roll:

First panel question: May I ask what "A.C." stands for. And is this a bad time to express how much I hate english acronyms and how much they are used?

We missed the birth, though. *sigh* Wait! I wasn't the one that wanted to see the birth, was I?

I can't possibly be the only one that has the desire for that to be his adult name!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Rick makes this comics transcur in real time: "Unbereable lightness..." ended on Christmas Eve 2012, and this is happening somewhere between March 2013 and today!

Miles' cub looks pretty dang awesome. As someone said before, he looks a bit more mature. Also that headfur.

Snow and Rodney's cub is just cute. X3

Last panel makes me wonder about my little niece/nephew coming in June. ^^;

Hm... then the cub isn't older than a month because it wasn't born before April 2013 according to this comicstrip: :)

It's been more than one month since March 29th. *giggles* Also, puppies and cubs can grow up pretty quickly and, in any case, time progresses as necessary for the storyline. Arcs that run for months can occupy the space of an hour, in-universe; likewise, months can pass in the comic between arcs.

It's also dependent on species. I'd imagine the humans, for example, will be fully clothed.

And *facepaw* at Sasha. :lol:

I feel for yea fox. When I had to where a suit for my moms wedding with my stepdad, the first thing I did when it was over was change my clothes. Also it was really itchy.

I too can sympathize with Fox. Whoever invents comfortable formal wear will be one of the richest people on the planet.

I take it 'Darth Vader Sanchez' is the pup formerly known as 'Rockstar Hawk.'

Actually, this was about the first time I've seen someone use 'dark side of the moon' where they really DID mean the 'night side', not 'the side facing away from Earth'. Congrats, Rick.

How old is she? Wolf cubs grow up pretty fast I guess.

Except for Mrs. Bigglesworth.

Uh, I think there's no canine who grow up that fast even in real life. Besides, how old was Grape and the others in "Housepets babies!"? I thought Grape was two years old, unless I haven't understood correctly the alt-text of this strip.

No, Rockstar Hawk is the one with brown eyes, and Death Axe is the one with yellow eyes. We haven't heard yet the name of this pup till now. Now that I think of it, why these cubs have brown and yellow eyes if Miles and Lucretia have blue eyes? Wait a minute, Daryl have yellow eyes, and the OTHER Daryl have brown eyes.... OMG LUCRETIA WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!??

Grow up HOW fast? The equivalent stage for dogs here is "walking around and getting into trouble with everything" which I presume was at the two week mark. I am fudging development a bit because I wanted her to be flower girl, but I don't think it's too far off.

DV Sanchez is not quite as tall as he appears here, he's shorter than King. Also, for the most part, I'm not doing strict aging up or age tracking in the comic's run unless it's necessary for the plot, such as Rodney and Snow's cub here.

Besides, animal development in Housepets is weird. You don't have to question it so strenuously.
