Also, coins gone flying... I noticed that. I wonder what small woodland animal will grab it before they can find it and innocently hide the evidence? Fun fact: The Badger is the world's most fearless animal according to the guiness records. That's the African honey-badger, the toughest of all the b...

We saw a bird flying away when Lois was transformed, so Trinket is a possibility.

Argent

Cory and Trinket could have their own coin. Steward being the obvious suspect. Hmm. Still doesn't answer literally any question of how or why he did it (if he did). Why: Get a mole in the ECP even if he's actually a squirrel and not a mole. How: Marion left his window open and Trinket flew in and ta...

The game was already going on in 5000 BC in the late Neolithic.

According to Bishop Usher, that was BEFORE the Earth was created.

Fortunately, gold doesn't literally vaporize people, that "root of all evil" stuff is a whatyacall metaphor.

This is going to be harder to dispose of than nuclear waste. The hard part would be ensuring none of the treasure gets stolen during cleanup operations. Indeed, how do you ensure the animals you hire are loyal and unimaginative but capable of following directions well enough to keep the site secure...

What I said, the gold is still there, what was it, 11 billion dollars worth of cursed gold. It was cursed in and of itself, not part of the general temple shenanigans, because it needed a permanent curse to satisfy Henry Milton's requirements. This is going to be harder to dispose of than nuclear wa...

They had opportunity. They could have snuck in while Marion was asleep and popped a coin on him.

Argent

Cody and Trinket with the coin (at Thomas' or Steward's bidding) or another coin (as part of an impractical con).

Heh, what if Marion wants to change back but Louis likes being a buff cat-guy?

When in doubt, look to D&D. In that you can occasionally, have an animal companion or such, but the only time you'll really be playing two characters is when you're also playing someone else's character because the player couldn't make it to that session. I have played D&D since it was the ...

Your first wish is for infinite save points and respawn back to a save point at will. That way you get infinite tries at getting the remaining wishes just right. Like Groundhog Day if Phil Conner really WAS a god. Radio starts playing "I Got You Babe" Phil: OK, this time, let's see, I want...

Wrong question, squirrely. You ask "who set us up the fluff". That way Kitsune can send you on an amusing quest. Except Magic(k) is a thing in this world that's apparently available to mortals, so it's not impossible that a Celestial had nothing to do with their predicament. At least not d...

I can't see Kitsune having enemies. He has friends he's teaching important life lessons, and friends who don't need them. Yet.

If you read on through Scott's comics, you discover that Omnipresent Man is indeed in all those places it would be awful to be in and suffers greatly for it.

Hilbert's Hotel means he can do an infinite amount of work *and* take an infinite amount of vacation, so he's just trolling for sympathy.

Good Cod, I hate that guy. He was standing in my bathroom while I got ready for work, in my kitchen while making breakfast and now he's complaining about what I'm typing right now!

I know, he's right here too.

How can we be sure that Keene and company WEREN'T originally humans? CONSPIRACIES!!!!! :lol: We have met Keene's mother. Not only was she a ferret (as already noted), she was a ferret in a pet store.

It must have been slip of the tongue by Pete there because in other instances (to name a few) they talk about real equality. The first example involves about the most unreliable witnesses in the book other than perhaps Bino. The second is still second hand, you can't assume Dragon knows exactly wha...

Don't forget that Pete promised "equivocation between human and animal kind", not "equality". Where was this said? I can't find it in the archives. http://www.housepetscomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2012-05-25-we-all-dream-for-sundering.png PS: I think it was a fish dinner...

I hope that Marion remembers Craig when Keen mentions Pete the Gryphon.

Something I just thought of and this is one of those theories that is so out there, that it could be legit: What if Keene is the one behind the transformations of Lois and Marion because, at one point, he was a human but something happened to make him a ferret? Keene's backstory is pretty well docu...

Christmas scene: Everyone's settled down, except for Marian threatening Grape for making eyes at Louis.

Edit: new theory... those bracelets have a teeny bit of magic gold in them that takes a while to work. Marion was affected first because he had been wearing it more.

Let’s look at this from a anthropomorphic viewpoint. Not the eating thing but if the two actually fought. There is a big difference between animals who only fight by biting and scratching versus those who can actually use complex maneuvers involving multiple limbs, fangs, claws, and actual strategy...
