Housepets!

I'm just wondering who they'll choose to be the one who's own size he'll be picking on...

Res comes to my mind.
Also I want to know why Tarot is in the car.

Is his Mana still strong enough though? Surely Tarot or Kit has some kinda Spell they can concoct to grant someone that kind of Size and Strength to keep him busy while they escape.

Best time to ruin a villains plans; when they’re having too much fun screwing around.

I.E. about now.

And are we back? I think we are,
although Tarot ‘s now in the car.
Five minutes have passed, give or take ten,
and Demosteward caught our star.
The Aardvark notes the apocalypse
just might be going a little furry
as the lines between the species
gets just a little more blurry.
At least he’s keeping families
together wherever he can.
It points to some small decency.
Estrangement is not quite his plan.

WAIT A MINUTE

Welp… at least sometime having a good time

Welp! Steward got his PHENOMAL COSMIC POWERS now! How long before someone shoves him into a itty-bitty living space?

Also...I dunno about the aardvark but being turned into a wolf? I'd be happy

We’re back! Let’s see what happens!

So happy to see the comic back up and running! And it's right where we left off, with Steward mad with power!

In retrospect, the ferrets need to review their hiring practices. This could have been avoided from the start...

Agreed and agreed. So, time to name the Aarvark?

Considering how so much of their financial decisions are “for the lulz,” it was always a matter of when something would bite them in the tail.

I'm kinda holding out hope that this will turn out to be a human that we either know or at least have had referenced. Like Mr. London or something.

Yay! it's back, lets see where it goes from here then, lot's of Zapping going on I see. Sales of brushes are going to increase markedly I think!

I'm gonna assume this form is gonna be permanent for him, which could possibly result in him getting dragged below with the other Demons once the resolution happens. I do hope he wasn't fused with Trinket in this form though (or she has a Demonic form like him too, but more unwillingly), cuz then that means she'd have to go down with him too...

I tend to think that he and Trinket are fused, but that she's not a completely willing part of this. I tend to think that she'll be herself again when this is all over.

Great, the comic is back! I knew it was going to be back within this month, but I was expecting more Monday as day of its return.
Steward as demon has the power to turn every human into animals... It was pretty predictable, anyway. Eh, who expects to see any kind of apocalypse? I see, Tarot, and it's much harder to believe a dog who says to be a prophet. But, didn't Tarot get out from the car before it got lifted and crushed by Demon-Steward? Maybe then giant demon gently carried her and put her inside.

See, this is the kind of apocolypse I can get behind ^^

Well, probably better that than in front, where all the teeth and claws are.

That really depends entirely on what it had for dinner the night before.

Hope you had a happy hiatus, Rick.

That kinda sounds like minor surgery, doesn't it? Well, so, anyhow, welcome back Dr. Griffin.

Seeing Tarot in the car when she wasn't I'm assuming she realized she when she had no spell to stop Steward she realized there was nothing to prevent him from squashing her so she teleported back into the car to prevent that.

Yes, well, the main reason they hired him was his name was Steward, so yeah.

Didn't Rick mention somewhere that he's got like 100 pages figured out? I suspect this story arc will be a lot more detailed and complicated than maybe previous ones.

WRT Tarot being back in the car, we don't know how long it has been since the last panel. It could be several hours.

This is the best kind of apocalypse. I can get behind this for sure. As long as it goes no further than turning people into animals.

Oh, I think it'll go a bit past that. After Steward's done, Eudoant has other ideas:

I just now realized that "Zap" isn't a sound effect. Steward is actually *saying* zap.

Just like in the Spongebob Squarepants episode "Dream Hoppers" in Plankton's dream. Plankton is a giant monster that shoots lasers and says "zap" while he does it.

Is he going to turn some animals into humans? I'd be interested in seeing Rick's idea of a human Peanut, Max, or Sabby.

He'll slip up and turn someone into a giraffe.

Res?
He's done it before, at least.


Hey, I actually remembered something!

It would be interesting to see (at least in my opinion), but I don't think it'll happen. Steward's plan is to crash the ECP by transforming everyone into animals, causing the Miltons to lose all their money in order to achieve the same rights these former humans had. Besides this, I guess his powers are based on the coin and its curse was "no human hands can touch it", meaning that he couldn't turn any animals into humans.

I just realized that Steward's plan makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense. Provided you've been driven mad by prior events.

Steward has been having a slow mental decline ever since he was turned into a badger. Now he has completely 100% lost it.

Yes, anyone making a pact with a devil isn't someone who is thinking straight.

It never really made that much sense. I mean, even if he managed to turn enough people to start to become a serious drain on the Miltons you'd expect other, like the government, to step in.

But what little sense that his plan had just went out the window once higher powers got interested. I doubt further transforming was in the original blueprints for Steward.

Frenzy generally lacks serious forethought.

The point that he began to lack that was when he teamed up with Nega Breel.

Is it a trap? It sure seems so
As Demon Steward starts to go
A-zapping people, making them furry,
But c'mon man, now what's the hurry?

We have two wolves and a lion
Creatures aplenty, an aardvark,
A pomeranian in a car up high an'
A badger who does things on a lark.

I love how the tag on the page says "Innocent Bystanders" for all the people getting turned into animals. I know that is what they are but it amuses me for some reason.
