Human friends

Post by 0404 »

Just wondering, why doesn't any pet has any of human friends? Not talking about human owner or human family. Human friends.
Are they just too different to hang around with?

I always figured most of the human kids are grown up, and don't have time to play with the pets, because they're working or moved away.

Also, it seems that the main cast is a VERY tiny portion of the town, and there has been at least one strip with a kid playing with a pet, so maybe there are humans that play, the main cast is just in a part of the town where there are no kids.

I'm pretty sure this is the case, Babylon Gardens just doesn't have many kids in it or at least not many young enough to want to play with the Pets in their games and stuff.

I think the pets would rather hangout around their own kind.
Besides that, kids would have to go to school for most of the day anyway.

From what we know of BG, there are very few kids. The comic's focus is more about animals and the stuff they get up to and their interactions which each other.

Well, the focus of the Comic are of course the pets, but it would be interesting to see a bit of more interaction with humans. there were some examples for with I mean, best example here: https://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/06/ ... lled-milk/
So, why not just make a strip with a human just cuddling his pet? Or letting the pet sleep in the bed with the human, like in real Life? ^^

And btw: I liked Miles Idea for Christmas here: https://www.housepetscomic.com/2012/11/30/byobs/

You know, that's a very good point. If I'm wrong, go ahead and correct me, but the only human couples I know of are the Sandwiches and the Arbelts. We don't see hints of any others, and neither of them have children. Maybe Babylon gardens is predominantly younger couples who are holding off on parenting, or simply those that don't wish to have children. Henry Milton wanted to make a neighborhood where pets could be treated differently, so maybe that's why family types haven't been entirely attracted there.

...And looking back through the archives, I realized I messed up on that detail. Mrs. Arbelt was in a guest strip. My bad!

I think we may have a winner, there.

I thought the Sandwiches were in their early 30s and everybody else was in their mid-20s? Joel seemed to be in his early-20s.
