He self-identifies as a Bond villain. That's good enough for me.

Now whenever I see this clip I imagine a piano version of "Oh Christmas Tree" is playing as soon as Bruce switches the light on.

I guess now a good question to ask would be this:

How DID Keene find out that the Roos went missing?

Rock probably called him from the ship.

Rock probably told him, to which Keene probably reacted by either stranding him in the middle of nowhere or leaving him to the mercy of Karishad. And if Rock neglected to tell Keene, the zoo probably would have contacted him.

I always figured Roosevelt was the "slightly grumpy" type since he usually looks a little more annoyed by the shenanigans going on around him than Bruce does (though we really haven't seen enough of them to really tell much of their personalities anyway...)

I've always seen Roosevelt as more the... "emotionally expressive" roo of the pair. Not particularly grumpy, just very expressive and reactive to the goings-ons around him. Which just tend to be hijinks, shenanigans, and sissy sports.

Bruce, on the other paw, strikes me as more down-to-earth but no-nonsense.

Granted, this is ALL horribly stretched speculation. We haven't seen nearly enough of these roos to know what they're really like. Hopefully that will be remedied? <3

I absolutely loved this strip. It made me cry. Ahhhhhhhhh! They're so cute!!!

[Saturn381]

Aww, that is so sweet!

[Bucky-Roo]

This made my day 10x better

[Welsh Halfwit]

This made my day 10x better

There's always room for Bruce & Roosevelt.

You ROO-uined the moment with a pun.

I really loved this strip, that couple is one of my favourites. But I am a little curious, however, how the arc will continue now that the Christmas play ended.

By the way, maybe I missed something, but i' curious why so many of you assume that Keene is evil ?. In my view, he is someone who believes that the end justifies the means, and has no problem being something cruel in that way, but his "ends" are helping animals; he does not seem someone who enjoys the pain of others. I think the worst we saw him do was call Jata. And that was not a matter of life or death. Jata in my opinion was not evil (at most a little jerk), and he was really in love with Sabrina (who otherwise was part of the game "dragon vs pete"). Moreover, long before being "follower" of Pete, Keene gave a home to wolves and King; he organized free for the village fairs, I do not see him as someone "evil". my opinion of course;)

He self-identifies with the Bond villain archetype. How much is play-acting and how much is real and how much doesn't matter because, after all, he's crazy like a weasel... um, where was I?

[Cesco]

Indeed, we had to know the epilogue of the two kangaroos flight, nice surprise. It's just great see a sweet emotional ending for them, finally back home with a great surprise. And it's by Keene! So, there are pieces of heart between your powers and money. Don't be so shy and false writing all those post scriptum on the letter, you're a benefactor, after all...

[Amazee Dayzee]

I'd imagine that Keene is crazy and probably a lot more crazier since Karishad is now on his payroll (I wonder how he pays him anyway) but I never believed that he was stingy and greedy. If anything, I thought that Rock would be the type as he didn't care about how the others would get home and freaked out when Cerberus told him if he didn't figure something out, his family would have a massive tax audit.

[dtlux1]

If Keene was visited by ghosts he'd try and trap them. He's probably got a miniature ectoplasmic containment unit hidden under his bedroom carpet. I know I would if I was a billionaire mad scientist ferret.

He has a Poltergust 5000. Much safer.

I always thought Keene took on this role in this arc because no other character would fit as well as he did. Not because he's evil but because he's intelligent and rich. Bino is probably more malicious than Keene, but he's not as good at planning things out or being a viable opponent. I always thought of that arc as just the animals having a fun time much to Zach's chagrin. The closest we've had to Keene really being evil is him pushing Sabrina to marry that prince a year or so ago and although the end did not justify the means for his actions, his intentions for doing so could be argued to be good.

If anything, I'd say that Keene isn't good or evil but a morally ambiguous character who wants to do good but his love of money and devotion to personal values often clouds his judgement.

[Macsen]

Some more evidence to your point, Argent:



Interesting how he graduated from orange soda to the hard stuff there.

[Amazee Dayzee]

i'd take Keene over Rock any day because Rock seems lie he would be way more stingy.

[Argent]

Yeh, olives are probably not good for him.

[Amazee Dayzee]

With all the orange soda and hard stuff he downs, I'd imagine his liver is on its way to getting pickled.

[bjchan95]

As I said before, I think Keene is really doing this out of compassion since he's been in this kind of scenario before, when Karishad locked him in the ferret pen at Christmastime :3

[Macsen]

He can probably have his scientists clone him a new one.

[RockstarRaccoon]

I guess it's official. Keene really DOES have a heart! <3

Keene's never been the bad guy: he just has lofty goals which are noble and go against the status-quo. Sometimes that means other people's needs fall by the wayside, but that doesn't mean he isn't a good person in the end.

[Amazee Dayzee]

You think Keene would be up for being the first ferret to have a cloned liver put into him?

[dtlux1]

Nah, he'd clone himself and put the cloned liver into the clone to see how it works out.

[Amazee Dayzee]

Henry Milton must have had 5 times the amount of money Bill Gates has.

RT @RicksWriting: Coming up: Short and silly Housepets arc focusing on a minor character

Edit: One of Joey's friends, Marvin, Duke, Lucretia, Rufus, Rabid Raccoon, or Saucy Vixen according to a later tweet.

My money's on Duke.

It would be.

[Douglas Collier]

I hope it's Rufus - we never found out if he really did have a thing for cats.

[AuraSight]

I personally hope for a Marvin arc.

[BradyJones1995]

They really need their own arc.

[ElementalHero]

This was beautiful. So heartwarming.

[dtlux1]

What we really need is more Fiddler and Keys.

[Amazee Dayzee]

I want it to be Marvin. I'm tired of him playing second fiddle to Tiger.

[Neon Icy Wings]

What we really need is more Fiddler and Keys.

I totally agree with this one, we haven't seen those two since they were riding a raft and singing songs two to three years ago.

[Amazee Dayzee]

I guess we'll have to wait until the arc starts to see.

Also, first post of 2015!
