Re: 2016/04/18 - Weasel Words
I don't think so. Unless Karishad was given a bit of mana himself (or he just summoned it, since the universe bends to his will), Keene's mana was used to send Satau back to the past in Housepets! 5000 BC.BasedDook wrote:If I remember correctly, Keene still has his personal bit of mana
Re: 2016/04/18 - Weasel Words
I feel like if that manna was Keene's we would have gotten a comic to confirm that's where it came from. It wouldn't be the first time Kari managed to have the right item at the right time out of pure luck. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.Retto-the-Otter wrote:I don't think so.

Re: 2016/04/18 - Weasel Words
We have confirmation because Keene was studying it (that very egg) when Karishad had it. If you go back and look threw the strips you'll find him giving it to a guy in a labcoat...
oh my gosh, I just figured out who was in panel two of that previous strip!

I don't know if it's the lack of a collar, but Keene's neck looks much longer than normal.

Re: 2016/04/18 - Weasel Words
Rick confirmed Breel is a guy over twitter, so it's okay if you missed that.
But how could you not know about Bruce and Roosevelt? *tsk tsk*

I didn't pay attention to the tags for their names. X3; Also, I thought Roosevelt was more of an androgynous name.Obbl wrote:Rick confirmed Breel is a guy over twitter, so it's okay if you missed that.

I think that came out three years before we saw Karishad with a mana piece in the comic.
While it's totally possible that Karishad stole the mana from Keene's scientist, these comics don't confirm that since these two strips came out far apart from one another. Like others have mentioned, Kari basically has the power of serendipitous luck. It's totally in the realm of possibility in this comic for him to just "find" his own piece of mana since that's how his character operates. I think that there's a reason Rick wrote the story so that Keene was the one given a piece of mana. If the only mana we'd see in the comic is the one used by Kari and company to send Satau back, why wouldn't the mana piece just be given to Kari directly? I feel like there are going to be greater consequences with the mana piece from Pete that tie in directly with Keene's development as a character and I think we might be seeing the culmination of that here. It's just a theory, but we'll find out by the end of the arc!

Re: 2016/04/18 - Weasel Words
Yep, they're both guys! And I wouldn't say you have to reread the old comics, considering that these two are unfortunately minor characters, it wouldn't change much.Travis Retriever wrote:Wait...that other ferret is a guy?

Karishad is also working with Keene and we know he's perfectly comfortable with pranking his boss.BasedDook wrote:While it's totally possible that Karishad stole the mana from Keene's scientist, these comics don't confirm that since these two strips came out far apart from one another.

Also, Rick has indicated he's uncomfortable with the Cosmic Nerds impact on the story, and cleaning up an unfired Chekhov's Hand-grenade is in character.
Re: 2016/04/18 - Weasel Words
Fair enough. I just think it's awfully coincidental that Keene had involvement in the cosmic game and now he's in heaven where all of that was at one point being operated from. Until, we get verbal or print confirmation from Rick, I think it's still a possibility that the mana will come back into play in some way. I saw a post by D-Rock in the "Crunchatorium Discussion Thread" that I really liked too and it would not only explain why Keene gave the egg to his scientist but also why we haven't seen Keene's reaction to losing something valuable. He thought maybe Keene was manufacturing mana using the one egg he got as a sort of model. I thought that was a really cool theory and if that's the case, I'd expect Heaven wouldn't be happy to find out about it, and perhaps that's why he's been "summoned" here (IE he's not actually dead, he's just being served a cease and desist order).Argent wrote:Karishad is also working with Keene and we know he's perfectly comfortable with pranking his boss.

I think that's definitely something that Keene would try to do.

No they would send a patron for that. Like Cerberus or Kitsune to take care of diplomatic matters...

Re: 2016/04/18 - Weasel Words
I don't know about that, since we've never seen that kind of situation before. In the past when Kitsune or Cerberus were sent it was to deliver a message or solve a relatively small matter. We don't know how the gods would react to having their miracles basically being counterfeited. It could be a serious enough issue that they bring the culprit (Keene) to them.Unusuallynamedperson wrote:No they would send a patron for that.
