2016/05/23 - Shall We Gather At The Train

[Argent]

One interesting possibility as to why there don't seem to be any humans in heaven - if they can change form at will, why would you want to appear as a human?

You'd think, but in Second Life where you can look like anything you want a lot of humans want to look like humans, weird as it sounds.

I don't know about Second Life, so I'm going to ask - how much effort does it require to not look like human there? If it's even only "a little more" it can actually be a major factor.

These days, it's about the same as putting on a new dress, jacket, or hairstyle.

You know whats funny? I just realized that in the last strip Keene was protesting because his mother offered to hold his hand to make him feel better yet in the first image of this strip hes holding her hand

Yes, that was cute and sweet.

Do keep in mind, she's been permanently gone from his life for a very long time, probably. The opportunity to do something even as simple as hold her hand again is something that's probably never crossed Keene's mind.

It's super touching.

[raxim42]

I must have missed that Breel was confirmed as a guy. So then is there something Keene has been neglecting to tell us? Or do genders not even matter in heaven?

Not that I'd have a problem with that. I just need to know how to read the strip, man.

[House42]

Maybe some of them were humans. And they prefer to be animals in Heaven.

As one does.

Urge to make "In all forms except physical, I am a wolf" joke... Rising...

[Scruff]

Breel hugs!

Love the little fang-peek Rick does with his mustelids and kitties, too

[GameCobra]

It's entirely possible that Keene could project his interest into his mom, but i'm sure she wouldn't mind :3

Only now when i see that green huskie, i keep thinking it's like a sister version of me. X3 But it's cute seeing her show up in the middle of this arc. Thank you, Rick, for the surprise cameo :3

See this

[HellishK9]

Well, if this works out Fox is no longer single.
Also maybe Breel and Keene could get together.
I wonder how many other Housepets characters still need a date?

[Foreigner]

Well, if this works out Fox is no longer single.

Yes. All he need to do is to die...

[IceKitsune]

So its looking like he was in heaven on accident then I wonder if he has to do something to get his life back or if its just automatic. Also I agree with basically everyone here, I really wish Breel would stick around.

[Welsh Halfwit]

Well, if this works out Fox is no longer single.

Yes. All he need to do is to die...

Unless the letter is some sort of connection thing, allowing her to visit him.

[Cesco]

It's nice see that Keene will finally be back on Earth. Eheh, his mom accompanied him by hand, despite he's back as adult. That's so cute of Breel, but he's caring more to Keene than his mother. Breel would know everything of you, Keene. Oh, it's great that the green husky angel still thinks of Fox, despite he seems to don't care about. She must be really in love with him, but this looks to be an impossible love...
BTW, that train must be really big.

[Unusuallynamedperson]

that face in panel four

I wonder if Keene will read it first.

[Macsen]

Well, if this works out Fox is no longer single.

Yes. All he need to do is to die...

She could reincarnate to a point at or somewhat after Fox is born, so she can be with him in the present. :3

[HellishK9]

Both very true.

[FancyHat]

I don't think that's how Reincarnation works..

[BasedDook]

Imagine what if something goes wrong with the process to bring Keene back to life and Breel, Cerberus, and Keene's mom are stuck on Earth. Could make for some fun shenanigans. Then at the end, Cerberus gives Breel and/or Keene's mom the option of sticking around? Maybe Keene's destiny was to die in order to meet Breel and then go back to Earth. Only Cerberus knows what's going to happen now.

[Argent]

I don't think that's how Reincarnation works..

Weird time stuff is totally OK outside the game.

[VoidGaming404]

Well, Keene, now you HAVE to haunt the Earth (weird how casual that is in Heaven), no one likes an unreliable messenger. Also, geez, does EVERYONE want Breel?

I could imagine Breel as the one everyone likes that lucky guy looks like he doesn't even have to try xD

I tried to say something else, but for some reason, the word kept autocorrecting to 'within the automobile'

[Haru Totetsu]

Am I like the ONLY one that's really upset about Keene being dead, and horrifically worried about his siblings since they are very incompetent compared to him?

I feel like I'm alone in my worries here...

Nope, Same here.

[Sleet]

Eh he'll come back, I'm sure of it! Don't worry about it. Rick's well aware of that comic trope. Heck, he mocked it with Spot (superdog) comics.

[Naro Rivers]

I tend to be more passive; I know where I think the story is going and where I want it to go, but it's not my story. When I read, I let the author take me where s/he wants to go.

Whether Keene is dead or alive, his presence in Heaven is a big development and will have lasting consequences. Whichever one is canon, I'm sure there will be fan fiction exploring the other path(s).

Also, I just realized that Keene is Schrödinger's Ferret.

[Argent]

Am I like the ONLY one that's really upset about Keene being dead, and horrifically worried about his siblings since they are very incompetent compared to him?

Most of us are totally in denial. Keene's not dead, he's just sleeping.

The fourth is going to be either a giant space whale or a multi-tailed fox, and they're going to tell him to WAKE UP. And he's going to go "what a weird dream..." and then pull out the envelope... OR WAS IT? Muahaha.

So since we're expecting that Rick's going to do something completely different.

But t you've warned us now so no-one will expect Plan A to return.

But now that you said that, everyone will expect the original outcome so... uhmm...

[Argent]

Ah, but I have spent many years building up a resistance to plot twists.

[TheOne]

Well, if this works out Fox is no longer single.

Yes. All he need to do is to die...

Unless the letter is some sort of connection thing, allowing her to visit him.

"Connection thing" reminds me of Sunset Shimmer's book that she uses to contact Twilight Sparkle... I think that a magic letter acting as an SMS device could be a real possibility.

Or it could just say, "Please accept my phone calls. It's set up so I'll pay for everything. Just let me speak with you again. Remember, my number is (insert unreadable number here)"

I wonder how many "come back to Earth" functions this universe has. We've seen "wake up" and we know that reincarnation (in the comic) is possible. The Denziens of Heaven (that sounds like an awesome name for a band, by the way) seem to think that haunting is possible, but there seems to be a lack of talk on resurrection. What if miss Green Pup could just be resurrected as a full-grown, competent, fully cognizant animal, keeping in her memory everything she knew and felt about Fox? I see that as being possible without having to grow up again or mess with weird time junk.

As far as this comic states he does not remember what happened in heaven. Thats what i used to start my FF (which i have to continue now thanks to the boot from Rick ^^)

[AllgoodGuy]

Anyone notice that Keene is totally holding his mother's hand in the first panel?

[FancyHat]

Yep.

[Cesco]

Am I like the ONLY one that's really upset about Keene being dead, and horrifically worried about his siblings since they are very incompetent compared to him?

Nah, he's not really dead (I hope), then, he's going back to Earth. But yes, there's to worry about his siblings... But Karishad! He's now totally free to do the craziest things in the mansion!

Anyone notice that Keene is totally holding his mother's hand in the first panel?

Of course, but look better, he's holding her hand in all the four panels. How cute.

Finally! Hopefully Fox will answer the phone this time.

And it's so sweet of Breel to come with Keene! Those two make quite the couple! Keene's mother is right, Breel IS quite a looker, isn't he?

[Discostew]

Why do I get the feeling that the letter to Fox is not gonna reach its destination?

[D-Rock]

I likely would do this same thing with my grandmother right now.
