It'd be plenty big enough if Bailey wasn't hogging it.

Argent

I'm sure you can get that comforter at Bed Bath & Beyond, Fenrir.

Also, wow is Bailey taking up the whole bed or what?

To her credit, buying one of King's pups is directly related to what he said just before about being a married dog. Someone go hit ctrl-alt-del on King, he's bluescreened again. It would be more efficient to upgrade his OS. King crashes more than an old Windows computer. A NEW OS? He's already more...

This is a classic outcome for abusive relationships. It can take multiple tries to escape, even with interventions.

He could work at Earl's garage, alongside Itsuki.

We actually don't know that he embezzled anything from the estate directly, that might have been a way for Keene to deflect blame for financial losses away from his spending. It's far more likely than the ECP was responsible. I've already analyzed the potential costs of of even a vastly expanded EC...

File it under the same Fridge Horror that has people OK with pets having human-style agency and the whole talking-food thing.

If it’s taking them this long to set up the new boarding, I’m curious if this’ll be a house or some kind of larger building. I could see Keene and Co. having to spend months negotiating with the city to get the proper zoning permits and so forth in place. Babylon Gardens was originally part of the ...

There's basically only two strips with Steward in them where he's not sinister as heck. Well, three, if you count the wedding and he's just a background character.

Argent

dr_eirik wrote:Steward was presumably vetted by the courts before he was appointed.

Oh my sweet summer child.

I'm also kind of confused by why y'all think Steward's embezzlement was part of Thomas's plan to steal the gold.

Argent

The word "excruciating" first became popular in the late 1600s but began a precipitous drop in popularity starting about a century later and bottoming out around 1950. It's been consistently gaining since then.

Argent

There were some issues before Steward began to steal money from the program which only made everything worse. We don't actually know when Steward started monkeying with things, he could have been basically crippling it from the start. He was talking with Thomas pretty early. I doubt that he was in ...

How do you get such muscle definition under feathers? Furry Reality Distortion Effect. Look at all the buff wolves and huskies in furry art with muscle definition you simply shouldn't be able to see through thick fur.

More likely, given how crooked he turned out to be, Steward had been siphoning off money and cooking the books to make it look like the nascent ECP was responsible. If all the financial problems with the ECP were Stewards doing, then he would know it's sustainable and adding more applicants wouldn'...

I'd put it in a similar camp as love potions. The implications of their existence are terrifying, but somehow they keep making their way into comic-relief plots about the wacky hijinks of people hooking up with people they normally wouldn't. The only time I've seen this subverted is in Harry Potter...

Keene's problem is that he was apparently "pulling millions directly from operating funds", which is money his corporations need to function. He was throttling the goose instead of waiting for it to lay golden eggs. But it still doesn't make sense that the ECP was the problem. Theme Park ...

On the other side of the scale, a crime can definitely be too large to atone for. Darth Vader got a redemption arc. After that, I don't think there's any real limit. Also, Keene is perhaps the most powerful ferret in the world. Why does it seem that him getting others to donate to the ECP would be ...

Why does Devo look like a quadruped?

Argent

Well, that sure cleared up Steward’s “Villain” status, even if like most good Villain’s, his plan has holes you could drive a truck through. No kidding. Actual humans have actual families and assets for their own support, so as the phenomenon grows only a few will be dependent on the ECP, and even ...

So Google says if Los Angeles provided shelter beds to all 30,000 homeless people it would cost $600 million a year, beds, services, everything included. That's 20,000 a year per capita.The ECP is supporting one pack of wolves, one family of dogs, and now a squirrel and a puma. If Lana's grown that ...

Fox is right there, actively LOOKING for the coin and it can't have gone more than a few feet. It's very likely (but not certain) that he has the coin in hand next episode.

The temple crashers weren't affected by the dungeon gold, they just didn't get any out because they thought it was fake (and Star Trek costumes didn't have pockets).
