Haha, ok, the alt text joke this time is probably the best laugh I've had at the alt texts in a while.

Artists who 'hide' bodyparts need to have a good reason for hiding them or it just looks lazy. He's not at any real angle in which his tail should be viably hidden.
I assume that the 'hidden' comment was a joke. I think he genuinely did just forget it.

I think that when you have to explain it, you missed the point. A comic should not leave the reader asking what's happening. First of all, I disagree.

Fox and Bino have always been "best friends". When he was younger, Fox was probably more impressionable. Well considering the fact that Fido and Joey are both very pro-cat, and that in this strip Fox is bossing Bino around, perhaps Bino is the impressionable one? Maybe without Fox's influ...
