Joey isn't a bro anymore?

[SuperStar]

I was talking with Chaoko, and he said that he thought that Rick Griffin said Joey is no longer Fido and Joey's brother? Like, retconned, is this true?

[D-Rock]

That's quite the shift in character story, if it's true. What's the source?

[rickgriffin]

No it's not true, why would that be retconned

[Dissension]

That's very silly. :3

[Obbl]

I believe it was originally assumed (and possibly planned?) that Joey, Bino, and Fido were part of the same litter. It's never explicitly stated in the comic, but was widely thought to be the case. At some point Rick decided to explicitly make them brothers from separate litters. This is also never explicitly stated in the comic, but Rick announced it in the forums at some point.

Oh thank goodness.

So there from different litters, of the same mother. Okay, that makes sense.

[Not A Furry]

So they are from different litters, of the same mother. Okay, that makes sense.

As a non native speaker, this means they have the same father too right? like, one day a litter is born, other day a litter is born that has the same parents... Not, like, the mother is a... "female specimen of her species."

[SuperStar]

Well, I dunno. But I'm gonna assume the same father because of their massive resemblance. But with the matter of them being from different litters, that means there must be at least 6 other brothers. Assuming 3 is the minimum of a litter. Well, my bets are on Fino and the Bino look-a-like at the Clubhouse

Big romantic plot twist?

[CHAOKOCartoons]

Listen it was probably a telephone effect on my part and I was at the very end of that telephone line, no need ta call me out on my dumb mistake eh?
