So that's four guys and the two angel huskies. Or two mortals and four celestials. And Great Kitsune. Big bed.

I love the tag on the strip:
"Here's to ten years of setting up that stupid gag!"
Almost as if he had it mapped out.

Point taken, Welsh. Being a demigod, Kitsune probably travels as he pleases ... Still, with his sense of humor, he's likely want to get in on the "bed and breakfast" frivolities.

True, although only Spring has them ... not sure why she does and Summer doesn't. Maybe it's a "pink thing".

May be personal preference, we saw both King and Fox change their shape/appearance when they went to heaven.NHWestoN wrote:True, although only Spring has them ... not sure why she does and Summer doesn't. Maybe it's a "pink thing".

Re: 2018/04/03 - Rocks Fall, Everyone . . .
Oh, so it was all a dream of Keene? He has always been in his bed? Or at least, that's what Great Kitsune wants to let believe to him... In any case, never say "wake up" with a demigod around. Eheh, Maxwell is still in Milton's manor eating and being served.
Re: 2018/04/03 - Rocks Fall, Everyone . . .
The "it was only a dream" schtick is just a celestial schtick that's immediately followed by proof that it's not a dream. Standard celestial policy.Cesco wrote:Oh, so it was all a dream of Keene?

It could be possible. Especially since when Kitsune speaks in his big Godly voice the text bubble is redMX682XM wrote:I know I'm the one with the weird theories and I have a new one ready: In 5kBC, when Dragon, I suppose, did the wake up bit for the first time, it had a green theme, like Dragon's speech bubbles. In this strip it's red themed, like Kitsune's speech bubbles. My theory is that it was actually Kitsune, who woke up these guys.
Edit: Wow i basically said what you already wrote. Sorry kinda forgot you mentioned that already.

Kitsune has been - mostly - off-line throughout the whole adventure so he may have either spoken through Keene like Dragon did with Tarot or else planted the idea in the ferret's head.
Hi, Vanice. No problem with a little repetition. Forum's pretty relaxed.

Also if everyone can use their powers outside the temple, how would they use them? When will they find out if they can? And how powerful would they be without the temple?

Nice catch, the "WAKE UP" being red themed. It also fits because Kitsune actually made an appearance recently.

P.S. The question isn't "has anybody made this joke yet" but rather "how many people already made this joke"?
I'm gonna post it anyways though.

So I guess the time has come to say goodbye to the dead ones? Or will they stay? And what about Neel? What kind of evil has Keene unleashed?

I like copouts like these because I prefer these big fantasy arcs to matter less.

yeah, the supernatural shenanigans b-plot was better when it was a disjointed string of small isolated incidents. shorter unconnected arcs are less likely to suffer arc fatigue, or to run into mood wiplash when things get silly, and breaks between them don't feel like pointless filler.Sleet wrote:I like copouts like these because I prefer these big fantasy arcs to matter less.
Don't get me wrong, I still like some of the longer arcs, but it being 'some' rather than 'most' is the problem there. The endgame and post game portions of the time-line have always felt off to me as a result.
Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Re: 2018/04/03 - Rocks Fall, Everyone . . .
A little off theme here.
I looked back one comic and got a second thought on the camels. Maybe someone already mentioned it. Thomas has a sizeable bump on his head, cartoonish even, The type of bump in other comics and toons that comes with amnesia.
If amnesiatic Thomas regains his senses as a camel, then camel is all he will know. I could see a scene of him standing in a zoo enclosure with Sofie pressed affectionately against him.

Re: 2018/04/03 - Rocks Fall, Everyone . . .
Course that trope's already been lampshaded in this comic when King fell down the stairs and then very specifically didn't get amnesia

Unless, of course, all the pets had a wild night before.
King looks an awful lot like my own Corgi. That's one reason why he's my favorite, but I also like his attitude.

I'm sorry, I didn't understand the current storyline AT ALL - I've been a reader for a very long time can someone explain?
Re: 2018/04/03 - Rocks Fall, Everyone . . .
Disclaimer: This recap contains personal intepretations
Well, this arc features three story lines: The storyline about Res and his work on Pridelands aswell as the storyline about heaven and the cosmic game and the one about Keene and Breel. This storylines interchange with each other in this arc, that's why it seems confusing. I'll sort out the events.
A: Res, becoming the saviour of Keene and the Angels, fianally gain some selfconfidence and a bunch of inspiration for his Pridelands book series.
B: With the using up of the mana and the the destruction of the temple, the amount of heaven's leftovers in the world is gone,except for Dragon's temple maybe, but this one doesn't matter
C: Breel kissing Keene made both gay in the canon sense. Keene experienced being in the working class and what words can do(worst case: hell) thus gained some developement and understands what actually matters in life.

Re: 2018/04/03 - Rocks Fall, Everyone . . .
We could also throw in as other lines...
1. Conflict between Keene and Tarot over the mana, resolved by the mana's evaporation, Keene gets the guy, and apparent reconciliation between dog and ferret.
2. The personalities of Lester and Dallas become more developed, and Joey returns to the stage.
3. We learn a bIt more about the power and vulnerabilities of Celestials. After many, many years, Rufus returns.
4. Pandemonium is introduced and the Infernal counterpart of the Celestial Heaven enters the Housepets universe. Some new, definitely sinister characters join the cast (The Forgotten, Eudoant, the little dino-demon), implying further devilish intrusions may occur.
Twas a well woven work, this arc...

Re: 2018/04/03 - Rocks Fall, Everyone . . .
I'm starting to suspect after rereading this arc that Rufus might like Maxwell and is infact happy to see Maxwell ~ not Res.
Though it never hurts to like them both :3
