Did I miss something? I can't tell if Rufus is gay or a cat lover.

I can't decide if that's adorable, because Max apparently had a dog boyfriend, or sad, because said boyfriend is, you know, dead.

Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
my theory: (if the alt text is a lie) Max was actually born to a barn cat and Rufus helped raise him for a bit before he got adopted.
(if the alt text is true) Max was actually born to a barn cat and he went back for a visit, had some nip, yada yada yada, this.

Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
I recall, long ago, there was a story abandoned because of the rather overt catnip = drugs message it was giving out. I think the alt-text is referring here to the stuff that went unseen then - although I have no clue how Rufus got involved.
Or Rufus is messing with Grape again.
Maybe Rufus had a secret -
and so, perhaps, did Max -
that just got quickly opened;
and blew minds off the tracks.
So Rufus has his feelings
that hang after he bought the farm.
And now he can reveal them.
Really, guys, what’s the harm?
We all know Max is mighty
and that love can save the day;
especially when the Angels
come down to Earth and play.

Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
I don't get the "That Rufus?" line. Is it a reference to something I've forgotten? I can't seem to find a strip where someone mentioned Rufus to him.

Most PG thing I can think of: Max was born on the farm and briefly knew Rufus as a kitten - he was Max’s godfather and loved him dearly. Max overdosed on catnip and forgot his previous life until just now.
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

Granted the cast page did say Rufus might be into cats since 2010, but I took Occam's razor and assumed that was referring to the barn cats.
Ding Ding Ding! Points to GameCobra for guessing this twist.GameCobra wrote: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
I don't think Rufus was ever mentioned to Max on-screen, but It's likely they exchanged greetings at some point during the dungeon crawl.Arvetis wrote:I don't get the "That Rufus?" line.

Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
the joke is that line implies that Max knew who he thought was a different Rufus, and is now realizing that no, this is that Rufus.Arvetis wrote:I don't get the "That Rufus?" line. Is it a reference to something I've forgotten? I can't seem to find a strip where someone mentioned Rufus to him.

Maybe Rufus is from Europe. Yeah, that's it!

Well this certainly says a lot about Max. Whether it be he is supposedly bi, and doesn't hate dogs as much as it seems like he does, or he has a REALLY BAD catnip problem.

This kinda bothers me.... All other angels got chance to spend time with the person they came to see, but Max just figured who Rufus was.
What ever the story behind they could not talk at all about it... That's sad ><

Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
Man, Rick, you are such a hardcore tease and i love it. I bet he's his god father or adoptive father or something. That would mean he's much closer to the sandwiches than we realize? Is Grape going to be questioning and falling for Max more now because of it? <3 <3 <3

Honestly at first I thought you were referencing 'Gay or European?' for a moment there.Bandit1990 wrote:Kissing on the cheek as a greeting or farewell is a common trope for depictions of European cultures, esp.

Personally, I've never been outside the U.K., but when it counted as part of Europe (I can't even tell anymore if it still is or not), I didn't encounter kissing on the cheek as greetings or farewells from my experiences. No idea if it happens in other countries within Europe though.

Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
I’m sure if we’re patient Mr. Griffin will explain what when on between these two in the next installment. Also Rufus, the reason Grape thinks you were there for Grape and Peanut is you're their cousin. Max has long since learned Grape's crushes are part of who she is, and that's cool with him, but now I'm curious what romances Max had in the past and what Grape will think.

Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
I took French in high school and all the books and videos indicated that they usually do an air kiss next to each others face. it's called "La bise"
also I have 2 more theories, once more branching from one criteria.
Rufus is messing with them an a) Max is playing along cause he's a trickster or b) Max just happened to have an experience with someone else named Rufus

He’s just screwing with them like he always does. Max is just as surprised as the others.
Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
Despite how much I wouldn't mind another gay or bisexual character(s?) in the comic, I think the most logical explanation is that Rufus was indeed some sort of father figure in the past. How catnip coulda made Max forget, however, is a whole 'nother arc entirely

Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
last time we saw him alive he was implied to be in a polyamorus relationship with a trio of cats, so that makes being straight up gay unlikely. Bisexual maybe?

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: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
I agree with everyone who said Rufus likes to mess with everyone. That's most likely what he's doing. As someone said, Peanut, Grape, and Rufus are cousins. As such, they've probably chatted more than only on-screen; and, Rufus probably knows Max third-hand, and wanted his chance to mess with him.
