 Joel's pets?
Was it ever mentioned in the comic, or anywhere at all, what happened to them? Just curious...

 Re: Joel's pets?
Nope, wasn't mentioned. I also wonder what happened to his parents...

 Re: Joel's pets?
Considering the passage of time, they're probably dead.
Kinda a grim look on things, but it is realistic.

 Re: Joel's pets?
I wouldn't be surprised if they made another appearance in the comic, actually.

 Re: Joel's pets?
Sounds like a fanfic opportunity.

 Re: Joel's pets?
It's possible they're still alive, though how well would be up for debate. Generally, wild animals don't live as long as domestic ones since they would then lack a lot of the comforts of having owners, such as shelter and a steady supply of food. I think the same would be true in this comic, unless I'm corrected.

 Re: Joel's pets?
They live between 15 and 30 years on average, actually. Take a breed's or species's lifespan in real life and double it and that's what it is in the Housepets! world. Animals in the wild, therefore, live even less. My guess is around 20-30 years have passed between that flashback and the present, and therefore his pets are probably dead.

 Re: Joel's pets?
I'd say less. Still, while it's true that Rick said that the pets leave twice as much as our pets, but that is contadicted here: http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/11/1 ... can-nomad/When Sabrina says dogs and cats live around forty years.

 Re: Joel's pets?
Pets can live up to 20 years in real life too.
