Hooray I'm contributing to the mess :lol: Are all arc conclusion threads this divisive? This is like my second page discussion thread period, so as far as I know they're all like this. Small sample sizes! Well, things tend to range from "civilized" to "debate room" to "poor...

Can't really see Lana being a villain. x3 That's the beauty of it, you wouldn't see it coming. It's like Assistant Mayor Bellwether from Zootopia. Let me jot down my reasoning again. She has access to the temple before and after it collapsed, not to mention Henry's research, she would have just as ...

2. Fox is gonna have sexy scars next time we see him, just sayin'. Fox looks like Legosi now. (from Beaststars) On that subject, Gouhin has a good line that I feel is significant considering the events in the comic. "It's said that a change in your face's appearance shows that you're going thr...

Okay, first Good for Steward for actually being a full on super villain lunatic. Yay. Second, seriously guys, that is the last time I let you make me question what is clearly obvious and that Steward was the villain all along. Thirdly, no Lana. Disappointing. Fourth, we never did get to know how he...

{about the superfluous TG bit} That said, this isn't the direction Rick took, so instead we're just left with this oddity that serves only as a minor distraction that never really caused significant problems. It's just . . . there for no apparent reason. I only started reading the comic at the tail...

Anyone else think its odd, Steward said "Hope you like your Christmas present..." in the middle of June? At the time that was taking place it makes no sense. Also I do hope Lois's parents were more understanding than Julia. Like easier to convince and less tears and let's be honest, drama....

Okay, lets look at this again. Marion and Lois Unable to change back Marion and Lois resign to adapting to their new bodies and new chapter in their lives CHECK --They go to college or decide to do an online program like Miles come fall. --They decide to skip college until they are back to normal an...

Thank you, Rick for giving us the greatest gift of all. Steward is crazy and the antagonist. The one thing I've been preaching for over a year. Also this is very well done. Lois and Marion are so cute. They'll change back one day. Them coming to peace with it and looking on the bright side is honest...

Out in the woods is not "in plain sight" of the ferrets. He had no way of knowing if Keene knew it existed or not. Whether or not Keene would do it is entirely up in the air, especially given his ominious "we're going to make a thing out of it" speech right after he realized tha...

Things being more complicated than Steward using the coin to try and ruin the Miltons makes the story more interesting. Steward having motives to keep the ECP from going under rather than trying to get revenge make him a more interesting and 3-dimensional character. The point of all of this was, IM...

fenrirblack

I want Steward to be guilty but now I can't stop thing about "what if he isn't?" If he isn't then, what was even the point of any of this? I mean if we wanted to know that the ferals didn't want to join the ECP then why spend four strips accomplishing something that could have been done in...

fenrirblack

Why can't he just be guilty and be done with it? Steward still being the red-herring makes everything ten times more complicated. I mean I admit that there really is no real confirmation that he changed anyone because Steward has yet to actually admit to anything. Like others have pointed out that h...

fenrirblack

Anyway, something about the wording of all this . . . could Steward have actually been trying to keep the coin AWAY from Keene because he thought Keene would turn the world into animals? That's would be a potentially interesting twist, but it doesn't quite jive with Steward finding Marion's name to...

Now that is it all almost over lets take this opportunity to review what has happened and we're we go from here. Marion wakes up as a squirrel. Don't know how Steward did it or how he managed to act so coy with Marion at Jess's house. Marion was kicked from his home and sought favor with Falstaff an...

fenrirblack

I wonder how Keene didn't know Steward was a badger. Surely there are enough cameras/guards something saw him leave with his (new) tail between his legs. Ah, yes, the ol' "force them to ramp up spending, draining their resources till they're bankrupt and fall apart like the Soviet Union" ...

As well, speaking of things getting set up, one of the main thrusts of this overall arc has been, at least to me, to set up the ECP as an organization central to future arcs. Part 2 saw Steward acting as an ECP advocate with Jess and the other animals not necessarily opposed but indifferent, in spi...

I've gone on at excessive length as to where I stand. Honestly, a fumbling attempt leading to immediate capture is rather befitting a man who's biggest experience with plotting is embezzlement. The question now remains: are we gonna get the details of the how? And I guess the why, because his exact...

fenrirblack

That is even more of a slap that we lied to ourselves. Because there was never any real significant clues or evidence that pointed to Steward. Steward as a character has never been important beyond a glorified accountant for the Miltons. Except, you know, the evil silhouette . The mystery, I think,...

fenrirblack

Buuuuuuut... I want to see a Steward redemption arc, and him being responsible to Marion and Lois' predicament would pretty much destroy any hope of that, turning him into another Thomas. We already have a Thomas. I guess that what I want would put Steward in a similar situation to King (character ...

fenrirblack

The real question right now is what is going to happen to him and the coin. Will some shady character take it now, will someone take it later, is Steward a red herring who never had a purpose for the plot, were we lied to this entire time? Either way, Steward is done at this point. Even if he was g...

fenrirblack

Steward’s face in the first panel looks legit distressed. Frank, Fenrir and Eirik brought up real good points about how his fleeing and that face make it unclear whether or not he’s the one behind the transformations. I’m still in the “Steward is a red herring” camp for the time being. As I said pr...

fenrirblack

It would have been more satisfying if Lois did it or there was a snare trap but this feels more logical. Although the fact that Mungo is involved now seems strange. Everyone is here! I think the way Steward is looking at the coin is very peculiar. He has this "This coin has been nothing but a c...

fenrirblack

As far as crimes go, I mean if the greater public knows about Marion and soon Lois, then it is possible that Steward could be charged as a human. Circumstances aside if Keene really wanted to have Steward arrested then he would be in jail. Keene probably has so many judges on payroll. Even then ther...

fenrirblack

I wonder if Keene knows it's Steward. I mean it is possible that they could think he's some random badger with a gold coin. At no point has he said his name to Marion and Jess didn't call him by it. Theoretically Keene could figure it out from adding the clues together but would still need real conf...

fenrirblack

BUSTED! Is he running because he's guilty or because Keene is there along with the Police? Yeah, he's guilty. Mystery solved, bring in the dancing lobsters. Well, police are presumably still looking for human-Steward for embezzlement, so it might be Keene and Fox that prompts the run. But it makes ...

fenrirblack

I feel bad for Jess here. I mean try explaining that A. the badger used to be human. B. the badger is most likely guilty of turning two other humans into animals. C. magic is real and all the Opener Cult stuff, while ridiculous, was grounded in some reality. D. the squirrel that was here that one ni...

This is something I posted on the HP telegram last night that I really think it interesting. "I just really hope there is more to this. Like it was Steward and he was working for someone and them finding out was part of the plan all along. that would be a good story." Imagine Steward in Fe...

Okay one last time. Most of this still feels spot on for the most part. Theories Is Steward A Villain : YES. Steward's Goal : Regaining his Old Life and/or Revenge Did He Change Marion : No (Yeah, now I'm not sure) Who Changed Marion and Lois : Mastermind or another new supernatural character that h...

Okay, real talk. If it was Steward after all which still seems either too on the nose or Rick really didn't try for a twist this time. How did he do it? He would have literally had to wait for Marion to go to sleep, break into his home and touch him with the coin. If you look at it another way, Stew...

fenrirblack

Congratulations Marion. You've figured it out. Steward being the obvious suspect. Hmm. Still doesn't answer literally any question of how or why he did it (if he did). Keene's world is about to be rocked when he finds out that A, Steward is living in the treehouse and B. has a one. I have a feeling ...

So I'm guessing Lois has some Christian Fanatics in her family somewhere, potentially herself at some point in the past which she now regrets, as she says she had gotten Mental Whiplash from the bible quote. That's a good point. Maybe this is what leads to Lois & Marion living in the new ECP bo...

Fortunately, gold doesn't literally vaporize people, that "root of all evil" stuff is a whatyacall metaphor. The quote is "The love of money is the root of all evil." Money itself doesn't cause evil, loving money does. Which is now leading me to think that the Miltons, specifica...

Certainly the scroll did. Or at least the words on the scroll. Here's a theory. Sticking with Lana here, she reads one of the scrolls and POOF Marion wakes up a squirrel. It wasn't intentional or devious, it just happened without anyone realizing it. Marion tells King who tells Keene who tells Lana...

Ok... I'm even more confused. Okay, had to dig up the context of the quote to get it. It's deliberately misleading because without the full context of the quote, the structure of the answer appears to suggest the opposite. Here is the full quote (Mathew 23: 16-20): "16 “Woe to you, blind guide...
