So we finally meet Mr.Milton. You know I was wondering if he was going to be the final person Keene meets before this strip.

Well, the man finally has an appearance after all of these years.

Though if I'm going to be honest, the possibility/reality of Mr. Milton being in ferret form always struck me as weird.

I'm pretty sure the bet King's mom lost was whether her son would go to Heaven. ;3

I supose we already saw the maluablility of boddies in heavon... this should be interesting though. After all this time we might get some answers about his connections to the game and Pete. Plus the idea that he is in ferret form is adorable, in any case, and if he realy feels that much about the creatures then it would make since that his beloved pets would be oh so many ferrets.

Nice to finally meet Mr. Milton, and I suppose that with all the work for animal rights on earth he would like to help heaven.

Wonder what his job is, maybe that's the hall of records and he is the keeper?

Well, I think quite a lot of us predicted Mr. Milton would be the final animal. I kinda wished for Kitsune, but knew it was pretty unlikely and among celestials Bahamut would make more sense than the Great Fox.
I guess we'll find out in a few days, but seems that Mr. Milton's either the one responsible for bringing Keene's to Heaven before the time, or the one who found a way to send him back, so he'd continue his work...?

What I didn't expect is that our protagonist would address Henry so... formally...? Maybe it's because he just met his real mom, but Keene was always calling him "father" or "dad".


EDIT:
Ok, ok, I think I might know the answer to my last concern and that answer would be "because clarity". He meets a ferret in heaven and calls him "dad" - we would have to check the tags to be sure it's Henry in ferret form, and not his biological father.

So to recap, the 4 animals are:
A weasel masseuse
Cerberus
Ferret mom
And a human that decided to be a ferret.

Being furry in heaven would be fun! Mr. Milton got the right idea! :3

I wouldn't mind going back to human at some point just to have fun in heaven, but i would jump in a heartbeat to try out all sorts of cat forms. :3

He can't call him dad, he won't go that far,
even if he wants to show him respect.
Into a building of mighty aspect
in a world that shows us just who we are.
He obviously loves his little Keene
so much that he's taken on his slim form;
he's chosen the suit he wants to be worn;
he's decided just how he'll be now seen.
Perhaps he can talk his beloved boy down
and convince him it's not to be all work;
To have to win you might need to shirk;
give someone else work. You wear the crown.

That's understandable, but also feels a bit off, seeing how Keene always called him "dad" - makes you feel the personal relationship they had was different from what we thought it was. Maybe utilizing that nameplate we see a fragment of would have worked? Or a small stutter, like "Mr. Mil... Dad?!"...?


Not complaining, just some ideas ^^".

That seems to be the case, though I would argue it is thematic in:
The Lover
The Guide
The Mother
The Father

We've all seen that a Mother is someone you meet in heaven with both Fox and King and Cerberus seems to be the default Guide. Fox also may have met his Lover (the green dog girl whom I'll call Denise since she's a denizen). King wouldn't have met his Lover since that would be Bailey.

Alas, finally we get a glimpse at Mr. Milton! And he's....a ferret?*reads comic a bit more*....Dagum, Ya can't beat that kinda logic...And ermahgerd, We nearly all suspected Mister H. Milton was to have a role, and I'd say this is part of the arc, it shall hold the key to Keene's fate.

Thought for the backstory: perhaps Keene only referred to Mr. Milton as "Dad" after Mr. Milton had died. That could have been one of his coping mechanisms. Then when he saw Mr. Milton in person again, Keene defaulted to what he called his Dad while Mr. Milton was still on Earth. (I might be reaching but I think it works.)

So, I've been wondering something. We've seen that a person's form is changeable in heaven, but I wonder if heaven itself is changeable? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Keene didn't set out to meet his mother, he just ran into her hut by accident. It makes me wonder if heaven subtly guides people to places it thinks they need to go, or if it shifts so that the places are right in front of you?

On a different note, if I were to wind up in this heaven, I would probably remain a human. While I love animals, I enjoy what I am and wouldn't want to change it. Which makes me wonder if any of the animals there ever give being human a try?
