Similar point as Sabrina, but for a very different reason.

Looks like Keene is day-drinking. The car ride over with Todd must be worse than we can imagine.
Gotta feel for Marion. Hes running out of options if he's asking Keene to found a nation.

Marion's acting like Bender: "I'll start my own society! With blackjack and... equal animal citizenship!"
Personally, after Lord of the Flies, I'm not too keen on new island societies. Any yeah, not much liquid capital, as discussed a couple pages ago.

*Hums famous cartoon theme of the '90's.*
Marion knows his comic books,
especially the tales of ‘X’;
detailing those who are different;
those whom open society wrecks.
No animal is an island,
even as an easy answer;
you can’t outspend your trouble, guys;
you have to face it, to be sure.
Keene’s sipping from his own soda
on this chilly new autumn day.
Boredom doesn’t suit this Ferret,
not that he’ll admit, anyway.

Well, he could always start a band and get some money in that way (Pretty sure Alvin And The Chipmunks aren't touring anymore).

... and "liquid capital" seems increasingly important to Keene. Um, Breel, you notice any changes lately? Nice little lesson on corporate intricacies there, Keene. This comic is sooooo educational.CuriousCnidarian wrote: ↑Wed Oct 21, 2020 12:07 am Marion's acting like Bender: "I'll start my own society! With blackjack and... equal animal citizenship!"

Alright, that answers my question from the last comic. Also - yeah, business wars.

Most billionaires aren't like Scrooge McDuck. They don't have vast vaults of money they can swim in.
That's what the pools of jello are for.
If we've seen anything, we know the ferrets are savants about their business.

In that vein, I wonder if Gary and the Ground Squirrels got back together.
I love Marion’s outfit, goes well with his fur.

Re: 2020/10/21 - Can’t Buy You Love, Just War
Yeah, Keene could adopt Tony Bennett's 1957 hit, "In The Middle of an Island", great song about running away to an island of your own, just you and your lover. Was a huge hit the summer I was eleven and enduring lots of down pours at Boy Scout Camp Carpenter.
Listen on YouTube if you want ... nice old ballad...
Re: 2020/10/21 - Can’t Buy You Love, Just War
Oh Keene, you need to make them think they're winning! Where's your propaganda machine? Where's your puppet organizations making deals with them?
Lord of The Flies is a retelling of a hypothetical in Hobbes' Leviathan, adapted for a more modern, younger audience. However, around that time, there was a competing book that said if humans were dropped on a deserted island, they'd create a social structure and live in peace until an outside force came by to disturb it. This, in fact, was what actually happened around the time Lord of the Flies was published. But, as always, people prefer the more spectacular, more morbid, more theatrical story.CuriousCnidarian wrote: ↑Wed Oct 21, 2020 12:07 am Marion's acting like Bender: "I'll start my own society!

Ironically, Scrooge's money bin is canonically not for spending. In the original books, they were mementos: every dollar's worth or so of coins being a memory if an important adventure, business venture, or purchase. A separate vault that is for spending appears in his first on-screen appearance, and is "filled and emptied every day", but he doesn't swim in it, and he boasts about how much more he has in banks and stocks and assets.

Why doesn't Marion just apply for online schooling like penn foster or university of phoenix
Re: 2020/10/21 - Can’t Buy You Love, Just War
Keene is an hereditary billionaire, yeah, but keeping spending, sooner or later his money could come to an end. Good he has other businesses for other money entries, but indeed, the ECP is only maintained due to his own money. Liquidate them can't be a fully good idea, and it's worrying that there are some who even spend money to try to ruin your plans... Uhm, from that reply, I guess Marion's idea isn't good at all. I wonder where they're going now, though.

Might depend on the degree he wants. We'd only know yet what he wants to study, but it seems plausible that its something unusual or technical.Rileypup93 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 21, 2020 1:07 pm Why doesn't Marion just apply for online schooling like penn foster or university of phoenix
I wonder if he's trying to study something related to his transformation. Some archeology field or unusual ancient languages.

Huh it looks like Keene is actually a competent businessmen despite all of the money he and I am sure that the rest of the Miltons used on frivolous things. I am really surprised.

I figured Lana would be a lot better than Keene as she is supposedly the sensible one but I am pretty sure she also has her moments.

It can't be too technical since his new size would preclude him from being able to do a lot of hands-on work or even to lift the tools up so he would have given up on that.
Then again, he still thought he could drive his car (which looked like a third generation Buick Regal) so who knows what his thinking is?

Re: 2020/10/21 - Can’t Buy You Love, Just War
I wasn't thinking of technical in a sense of like working on large machines, but more that it was a job that required certain specfic education. Think something like architecture, which can be done with computers for the most part, or astronomy, which is also largely computerized. The specific education may not be at every college.
I still think it's going to be something related strongly to his current circumstances. He's going for either something related to his transformation, like ancient languages, or his current form, perhaps like vetinary science.
Hopefully, we will get a hint soon.

Take it whichever way you think works in this situation.
Re: 2020/10/21 - Can’t Buy You Love, Just War
The ECP's on shaky ground,
That's the truth, as Marion's found,
And besides, fix the mess?
That'd crash the rest...
Keene's not trying to upend the rules,
But he'll make them all look like fools
When they won't grant an animal rights,
That's setting up some legal fights...
The orange soda's out early,
That means things are getting squirrely,
I swear, of course, that's not a pun,
But for Madagascar, time to run.

So if there is a code orange, there are multiple things it can be. Is it a bomb threat? Radioactive spill? A violent person or animal?

Yeah I looked up what that is and I think it would be disgusting but then again I don't like orange creamsicles either.
Re: 2020/10/21 - Can’t Buy You Love, Just War
Don't knock 'em before you try it. They have other flavors, too.

Not really. They weren't orange soda, but orange juice mixed with ice and some other stuff to make it something like a smoothie, only with a thinner consistency.
