I was skeptical at first, but now I see some merit in the wedding rehearsal. And Fox is showing yet another reason I dislike tuxedoes.

We finally get a glimpse of one of Rodney's cubs! Cute.

Awh! I pity fox, but I love him and his fails so much. He's the main reason I read the comic. X3 And weird thing? My mom told me I'd be most likely to pass out at a wedding two years ago! :lol: And then I come and read this comic. X3 And I love how Fox's and my personalities are almost identical. (That, and we share the same name!)

I absolutely love this comic, and Housepets! Overall. It really makes me laugh outloud for real. Keep up the amazing work, Rick! :'D

Hold a sec, how much time passed between "The unbearable lightness of being a dog" and this arc? That cub born and grew up really fast, don't you think? At least I figured she would be a little baby on her mom's arms for the first time. But well, details...

So it's seems that Miles' cubs have chosen their names, and one of them is a Darth Vader latino? Watch out Max, now you have a rival. :roll:

First panel question: May I ask what "A.C." stands for. And is this a bad time to express how much I hate english acronyms and how much they are used?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Rick makes this comics transcur in real time: "Unbereable lightness..." ended on Christmas Eve 2012, and this is happening somewhere between March 2013 and today!

Miles' cub looks pretty dang awesome. As someone said before, he looks a bit more mature. Also that headfur.

Snow and Rodney's cub is just cute. X3

Last panel makes me wonder about my little niece/nephew coming in June. ^^;

Hm... then the cub isn't older than a month because it wasn't born before April 2013 according to this comicstrip: :)

It's been more than one month since March 29th. *giggles* Also, puppies and cubs can grow up pretty quickly and, in any case, time progresses as necessary for the storyline. Arcs that run for months can occupy the space of an hour, in-universe; likewise, months can pass in the comic between arcs.

It's also dependent on species. I'd imagine the humans, for example, will be fully clothed.

I feel for yea fox. When I had to where a suit for my moms wedding with my stepdad, the first thing I did when it was over was change my clothes. Also it was really itchy.

Uh, I think there's no canine who grow up that fast even in real life. Besides, how old was Grape and the others in "Housepets babies!"? I thought Grape was two years old, unless I haven't understood correctly the alt-text of this strip.

No, Rockstar Hawk is the one with brown eyes, and Death Axe is the one with yellow eyes. We haven't heard yet the name of this pup till now. Now that I think of it, why these cubs have brown and yellow eyes if Miles and Lucretia have blue eyes? Wait a minute, Daryl have yellow eyes, and the OTHER Daryl have brown eyes.... OMG LUCRETIA WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!??

Grow up HOW fast? The equivalent stage for dogs here is "walking around and getting into trouble with everything" which I presume was at the two week mark. I am fudging development a bit because I wanted her to be flower girl, but I don't think it's too far off.

DV Sanchez is not quite as tall as he appears here, he's shorter than King. Also, for the most part, I'm not doing strict aging up or age tracking in the comic's run unless it's necessary for the plot, such as Rodney and Snow's cub here.

Besides, animal development in Housepets is weird. You don't have to question it so strenuously.
