[ Quis Custodiet ]

Title Text: Gotta hand it to wolves: at least they will confirm their biases first

Nobody watches the watchmen, that'd just be silly. If anyone were to watch the watchmen, though, it'd have to be Vimes.

Those cubs grow up so fast.

Either that or they're in a phase where they find gross stuff totally awesome

We´ve all got an uncle like that ...

Post by **SeanWolf** » Wed Dec 02, 2015 1:09 am

Why do I see the cubs going like this when they enter the room? Also, Elaine is pretty cute

Cleptomaniacal, hairy and one-armed? Sure brings back memories.

Those (ex)cubs look buff today. Even moreso than usual.

How much longer will it be before they end up taller than Jack?

I don't have one. Should I consider myself lucky?

Hey, I don't have a uncle either (My family tree is a bit...odd)

It's great to see Darth Vader Sanchez again. (That name)
Wait Jack payed for something with legitamate money!

Can't see the cubs well but are they now heavy set?

Err . Jack seems to be more worried about his bed than for Bailey having pups ; what a jerk

Reaction to that last panel.

Although it's funny how Elaine mentioned needing to break it in sometime. Take that as a hint, Jack.

And who wants to guess that King will insist on taking her to a hospital/vet?

Wee, Discworld references~

Man, the ~~cubs~~ young wolves just get bigger and bigger. I mean, they're already almost Jack's size. Wonder where they'll max out as?

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Wed Dec 02, 2015 2:24 am

Looks like Deevee is gonna be the all around bigger brother of the three. You know, the taller and more muscular one? And I'm just gonna assume Rockstar is gonna be the shorter one.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Wed Dec 02, 2015 2:30 am

And then suddenly, they find it cool and Jack has a mother's curse for all eternity. =3

Good point

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Wed Dec 02, 2015 3:25 am

Hey! Fun fact! I was just looking through the archives, and get this, Deevee used to be the SHORTEST of the brothers,

gamepopper · Post by **gamepopper** » Wed Dec 02, 2015 3:35 am

I'm still not used to DV and NS being all buff, it's not even like we see them exercise that much, do male wolves in this universe just rapidly grow muscles when they're old enough?

Either way, they're sure gonna regret saying that! ::P

That's not North Star there, that's Rockstar Hawk.

Looking back at the archives and making note of slight fur patterns. I believe the larger one is Rockstar.

No, Rockstar is the one with brown eyes, as confirmed by this comic: https://www.housepetscomic.com/2015/02/ ... -is-magic/

And we know the blue eyed one is Deevee, especially with this comic: https://www.housepetscomic.com/2015/05/ ... ts-are-in/

Uncle Jack is the best uncle

"We were gonna have to break it in sometime!"

Does Elaine have a design on having cubs herself someday? ;3

True. But notice that Hawk actually doesn't look as buff as his brothers? At least not from this angle.
Back here: https://www.housepetscomic.com/2015/05/ ... ts-are-in/
We can see that while he still is muscular, he doesn't look as muscular as Deevee and North Star.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Wed Dec 02, 2015 7:33 am

Two poems today. 1st one written before I saw the strip.

He sometimes talks with a God,
represented here by a Tod;
Now he's woke from his bed
by Lucretia here, who said
“You're wife Bailey's being odd”

“I gave her a drink so to slake
the thirst keeping her wake.
She broke the glass
and waters did pass
and the kitchen's more like a lake!”

For King the moment has come
and now the questions are done.
Whether he be fair or the fool,
the crazy or the cool
his greatest victory is won.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The bed's discounted for home delivery,
and Jack's about to be bundled out;
Leaving the room for Elaine to work,
guarding the room until Bailey's shout.
Tempting the not cubs with his secret,
denying all he's prepared to deny.
They're not believing his tricks now…
They're gonna be sick, by and by…
Natalie's snarky, pearl, perfection
and just what our Bailey now needs.
The presents are about to be unwrapped
and protected against all Jack's deeds...

Why is "Darth Vader Sanchez" quoted in the tags but "Rockstar Hawk" isn't?

Furryface18 · Post by **Furryface18** » Wed Dec 02, 2015 8:42 am

They're so big now! It's hard to think they were "bigger" last time we saw them.
Jack, you're not the best guard for these things.

bjchan95 · Post by **bjchan95** » Wed Dec 02, 2015 9:13 am

Well if they weren't cubs before they're definitely not going to be after Jack tells them about the miracle of life

His name is still provisional pending further copyright review.

All the wolves are being so generous helping Bailey for the happy event.

All except one: why you're being so bad, Jack?

How insensible you are, come on... You care more to the money, and what you said is not a good excuse... What a jerk.

Ok, we see you don't care about such "girl stuff", but it's time for the ex-pups to know something about how pups born, indeed.

Anyway, you're very good as door guard, corruptible Jack.

Try with Jar-Jar. Lucas will PAY you. At least someone will make use of that name.

bjchan95 · Post by **bjchan95** » Wed Dec 02, 2015 3:11 pm

Guys: Deevee has blue eyes, Rockstar has brown eyes, and North Star has yellow eyes.

No more confusion from now on~
