Lois looks like a giant in the first panel. Also thought Bruno was gonna show up based on that title.
Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But [The LORD] said, “Yes, you did laugh.” - Genesis 18:15 (NIV).

Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
He isn’t wild, mate, she’s livid
as she finds that she still stands out;
running through a crowd collarless;
making everyone scream and shout..
Steward can probably find them
but can he catch them in the ruck?
It’s time the gang now faced the truth -
as heroes, this lot really suck.
Todd, though, is truly cuddly
until you get to know him.
Unless, of course, this attitude
is just turned on upon a whim...

Well, Todd, that's what you get for being a Red Panda; The world falls in love with you (something I thought he wanted from the start)!

Oh, all right... It's Pandamonium.
Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
So Lois, Marion, and Todd, along with other randoms, are now gigantic but Tarot and Aardvark stayed normal size?

Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
I'm not sure if I follow. As awesome as that sounds, They look quite the same. You sure there's not some tricky perspective thing going on?
But if it did happen, I think having Lois act as their Muscle and take on Steward would be a fun fight! Maybe she can tag team with Super Were-Tiger Res (if only he knew what was going on...)
Anyways, this whole Panel is giving me Jumanji vibes, but instead, the Stampeding Animals were more aware of their surroundings. XD
Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
Lois and Marion are still running, at least. Good idea to hide yourself in a crowd of people turned into animals, but they're scared of you and haven't yet realized what have became, okay... I fear that demon Steward is going to find you now... Don't laugh, Todd, you better watch out from unexpected hugs. Eheh, it's cool to see a panda bear here.

... and you're right about the Jumanji atmospherics.
and and, for that matter, Res certainly has a better track record dealing with demons than Tarot - compared to The Forgotten, Stewart-demon is Tweety-pie.

Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
Here's Steward nabbing Lois and Todd then since I'm sure he will see everybody running from a bobcat in terror. That panda will drop Todd like a ton of bricks when Steward looms over them. I have a feeling that Marion, who was the first transformed will be the hero in this story.
And Tarot will have a massive breakdown over missing her chance again. Prove me wrong Rick! Please!

Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
Would be funny if Demon-Steward was trying to be careful not to step on anyone other than his intended targets. Like that one part in Zootopia where Judy is going after that Weasel in that Rodent City, and she's trying not to step on anyone.Cesco wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 2:09 pm Lois and Marion are still running, at least.

Somehow I don't think Steward would care if he ends up killing any innocent people while trying to get them.

Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
It's a perspective thing. The 'camera' is low down, Marion & Lois are near it, the tall building further back is, well, further back.NHWestoN wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 3:11 pmHi, Sky.

Or, to put it another way...
Perspective in 'Father Ted'
Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
Okay, Welsh, thanks ... and thanks for the good laugh; I kinda needed that.
Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
Ah, Father Ted was great, "not small just far away" not to digress too much but for those that haven't had the pleasure there is also a great song from the series, my lovely horse, it's certainly memorable, Father Ted trying to play his guitar in that episode reminds me of when I was first trying to learn guitar chords. Also fetlocks could be the greatest word for a song lyric ever in my humble opinion.

It helps that it isn't made up. Fetlocks are joints of all horsess leg between the cannon bone and the pastern.

Father Ted because it's finale is lost media. Well, okay not entirely. It was originally supposed to end with Father Ted being depressed about having to stay on Craggy Island and sitting with Father Kevin on the window ledge drinking but after the lead actor's death was replaced with an emotional montage of random events from past episodes of the show, the original ending now being lost forever.DDeer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 11:14 am Ah, Father Ted was great, "not small just far away" not to digress too much but for those that haven't had the pleasure there is also a great song from the series, my lovely horse, it's certainly memorable, Father Ted trying to play his guitar in that episode reminds me of when I was first trying to learn guitar chords.

They filmed the final episode with the actor before he died? If that was the case I'm not sure why they couldn't release it and the clip show at the same time.
Looked up the actor and wow, he was young when he died. Actually 3 years younger than my uncle when he had his fatal heart attack.

If you know WHY Father Kevin sits on the ledge you would know why it would be super disrespectful to release that clip after the actors' death.Amazee Dayzee wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 4:30 pm They filmed the final episode with the actor before he died?

No I do not but if there is a reason it wasn't released I understand. I just don't know the specifics behind everything.

Where's Squeak when you need her? Up in Heaven saying, "The elephant afraid of mice thing is another stupid stereotype." Followed by "Hey Lois, see if your friend is free Friday I got a pair of tickets to "Stomp"."
Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
Marion's perched atop Lois's shoulder, lookout-
For the bobcat who just grows ere bolder, a shout
From a recently turned pachyderm, unawares
That they're now quadrupedal brings screams and bared stares.
That's not fair, shouts the bobcat, head spinning round-
As all her plans for escape hit the ground-
And as he laughs that the fear is plainly hilarious,
Todd finds himself in the arms of a panda, the beariest.

Coming back to this strip, can you ACTUALLY take a red panda home? I wouldn't think they are able to be used as pets.

Just looked it up. It is illegal ANYWHERE in the US to own a red panda or take one home as a pet.

Yeah that might be true but still I can't see them being owned. Especially if they are sentient and able to function in the wild on their own.

Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
But wouldn't that imply that other pets such as dogs, ferrets, and cats aren't sentient and able to function in the wild at least as well as a human?
I'll be honest, I think being a pet is more about whether the animal wants to be one in this world. Which I suppose begs the question of how domestication would have even happened in the Housepets universe? Or if it happened at all?
Yeah, I don't know. Probably better not to question it, because I don't really imagine getting answers would improve the story in any major way.

Re: 2022/01/11 - Bear Trap
I think its because in this universe some animals are able to be domesticated and become pets and others aren't. Therefore it is some how wrong to try to domesticate an animal that you take from the wild like red pandas.
