Is it just me or does Breel look REALLY feminine in the first 2 panels? This eludes me further into confusion.

My only question is (actually it's not my only question), can only Keene see him ? Or can anybody see Breel's presence ?

He seems to be pretty corporeal to me, I think anyone can see and touch him, and with that halo I cant help but think on Breel like the 24-hr-back-from-dead from DBZ o.o

Breel is a heavenly sort. He can appear as feminine or as masculine as he wants. Fox added muscle when he was up there.

Empty shelves and empty frames
are a strange thing for us to see;
wondering on the state of the games
even as Breel makes us Squee!
He’s come down, Heaven to Earth,
to lighten up Keene’s miserable day;
countering serious with mirth
and business with the need to play.
He’s wearing the shoe, however,
and the other has yet to drop.
Is he here to help Keene search
or is he here to make him stop?

Yay! It continues! I was worried it would smash cut to a different arc, but nope! part two.

Also Keene's pretty genre savvy. He must have seen the Christmas Carol formula quite a few times.

Then Breel transforms into a grim reaper...

It just struck at me as curious that Breel is here by himself from heaven. As a messenger? or for personal reasons?

Are you sure?

We're also expecting two Heavenly Huskies and who's to say there isn't an invasion of the Gardens going on?

Well he's alone in Keene's office =P

From what the lead-up looks like, I'm not counting on the huskies showing up. Though i will stand corrected if so since i can still see Keene pulling Fox and Mundo into this. If they come, the huskies will come for sure.

Tarot and Sabrina mightbe travelling with Res's group, but something tells me they will be trying to solo this scenario.

Another thing that bothers me ~ this arc already foreshadows someone is manipulating Keene. could it be possible for someone in heaven to be manipulating Keene?

Stewart through me off thinking it's his relatives, and it still could be, but I realized that Heaven can contact people on phones. What if Stewart was talking to heaven all this time? That would be a huge twist.

You know, I never thought of that ~ but i'm thinking someone in heaven that's trying to do this under everyone's noses. Someone that isn't a fan of this whole pet/human equality and/or wants the Milton estate to himself.

You may be an unremembered party animal, a spot of fun, hors d'oeuvres of play, a fragment of an overdone squee. There's more of groovy than of grave about you...

Also, I AM TOTALLY KEENE ON THIS.

I wonder if Breel specifically asked to have a halo...

It's continuing already. :P What a Lovely hug! :D Breel is always so cute, also if... yes, dead. ;) :? Well, in way he's haunting you, but it must be for a good reason: he wants to repair for your poor life choices, don't you think, Keene? :P He loves you and he's now you guardian angel. :)

I'm fairly certain Breel also has a thing for Keene. Wouldn't that create a conflict of interest, much like how psychiatrists can't engage personally with their clients?

I'd link Sabrina Online about this, but that's a touch above Housepets' rating.

I don't recall Clarence saying anything about not getting attached to your charges.

Breel is the first from the '4 animals you meet in heaven' arc when Keene went to heaven. Here's his first appearance. https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/20 ... the-first/

I don't see it. Breel seems just as androgynous as usual.

The sad thing about Breel being a character only one character interacts with is there's less reason to have them referred to by pronouns, which would make fewer people mistake him for a girl.

... yes.

<geekystuff>

There are no tags on the front page because apparently the new content management framework on the new site doesn't expose the strip number to the part of the page where the tags would normally go.

<usefulinformation>

You can click "back" and "forward" to get the archive version of the strip page, and that will have the tags.

The thing I'm wondering is, can Breel do cool ghost stuff, like become intangible? What happens if he tries to eat something? Does it fall through him, or does it go in his ghost stomach?

And other science facts...
