It's comedy.

I keep wondering if the canine unit ranks are slightly higher than their handler's rank in this universe or not. I know this is how it works in the US military to prevent animal abuse - if you harm the dog you're handling you are effectively assaulting a superior officer.

I think Rick confirmed they rank lower, but there still might be rules applying to animal abuse like that one.

And what about Spo? Since he's not even supposed to be
part of the team (AND he's annoying.. in a nice way) he
might have some strong abuse coming his way (but I think
Fido will protect him).
Hey, do you think Spo will become part of the team in this
arc?
It just came to me, but a tiny scout that can squeeze into small
places before a raid might be priceless to have!
Hmmmm........

That is a good question though. And

I love the Bat tag. It would be hard to remove something like that in the middle of a Highway with no one noticing. It could be there never was anything in the shipment and the Truck Driver is lying and took it him self stashing it somewhere or is covering up for the Banker and getting a cut of the insurance money. Or it is one of the Nerds (or a similar being that the Artifacts my have belonged to or something) for some reason. Now I guess the Ferrets could have done it some how they would have enough money to figure out a way to get it because they like shiny things. But still not enough info to really form a good guess at this point.

Rick's bats are so cute! <3

Adorable bats outa nowhere!

It looks like Ralph has had enough of the rest of the crew.

AAAH BATS

Now i'm sure who the culprit is.

Or who will stop the real culprit with unnecessary violence.

housepets with special guest batman?
I can dig it.

That's probably not going to happen.

DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME

The bats bit Maxwell's ear, forcing him into turning into a life of thievery from the get-go. True story.

I also like the faces of those bats =3

This arc in a way reminds me of ‘The Last Chance Detectives’

Missing Aztec artifacts, following the mystery of how it happened, and an awesome twist ending.

And from here on out, Spo decides to speak entirely in iambic pentameter.

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 12:05 am

I love Kevin in the first panel. Also hes clearly talking about Sabrina looks like Foxstar might be right.

From New to Old.

This is getting very interesting! I hope this is going where I think it is. It would be wonderful if it was....

Fido AND Spo should start speaking in couplets, one line each...

Mon Oct 10, 2011 12:11 am

as soon as I saw Limerick guy again, I thought avatar. ^_^

I love that Spo now aspires to be an old human (or possibly mystical creature) that speaks in limericks.

PhoenixAsper · Post by **PhoenixAsper** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 12:20 am

Of course you do, Spo, of course you do.

You have. My. Attention. RICK.

Oh, the POSSIBILITIES.

I just chose an arbitrary poetic form. It wasn't based on anything anyone said.

Can't wait for the next strip.

It wasn't until I saw ~~Brent~~ Monsieur Limerick again that it even occurred to me that this arc was planned to lead into Halloween.

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:19 pm

I believe the old, freaky, awesome guy is named either Belthasar or Melchior.

nope. he's named Chuck Testa. *brick'd*

I prefer to think his name is Rick.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:41 pm

I just call him Brent.

Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:48 pm

I'm partial to that name as well.
If that's it then that would be swell.
If he's named after me,
oh, how happy I'll be.
and that's a limerick. could you tell?

Indagare · Post by **Indagare** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:49 pm

For any game there must be gimmicks,
A little bit of mystery to lick.
So we may theorize
The man without eyes
Has a fox as the source of his limericks.

I wouldn't be surprised
If Kitsune is anyone it's most likely that guy. (He supernatural in some way even if hes not Kitsune)

I'm inclined to agree, the old hermit is definently more than meets the eye.

Actually I think it's limerick.

Tattorack · Post by **Tattorack** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 4:11 pm

So the theory is Old guy = Great Kitsune?
Well I think not, consider this:
Tarot is Dragon's avatar but she isn't her.
King was Pete's avatar but he wasn't him.
Old Guy avatar of Kitsune? probably. Old guy is Kitsune? really not sure.

that would certainly make sense

Tattorack · Post by **Tattorack** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 4:20 pm

But if that would be true, that would mean that the
K-9 unite could become aware of the spiritual world
in this arc (excited)

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 4:23 pm

I think Sarge's reaction to that would be hilarious!!

Tattorack · Post by **Tattorack** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 4:28 pm

He's a guy who like rational explanations for everything,
I think he'll just think it was all some dream (considering
the reputation the spirits have for trying to make you believe that).
Fido, though, might have a long talk with Sabrina after this
