Ash Greytree

I’m packing my bags for my bus trip to San Antonio tomorrow. Going to check and double-check that I have everything that I need on my carry-on and what I need for my main luggage. Then it’s time to put in some relaxation so I can hopefully get to sleep at a good time tonight.

This continues the thread that I saw in My Life As A Teenage Squirrel. At the end of that arc, I took note in a forum post of how much of MLAATS seemed to be structured around giving the ECP a role in a good bit of story arcs in the future, and setting up engaging and interesting arcs. I'm curious t...

Ash Greytree

Agreed with everyone hypothesizing that this’ll be about Valentines Day and involve Fox. I hope we’ll get to see soon if he’s wearing an eyepatch or has heterochromia but can see just fine after Steward slashed at him. As well, I’m curious to see if this is an arc where we see more of Mungo and Fox...

Ash Greytree

I’m just an hour or so, my family & I are headed out to pick my brother up from the airport. He was away for 10 days, and I’m curious as to what his potential jet-lag is going to be like, since he was on a schedule where there was an 8-hour time difference.

I’m headed off to get a haircut this afternoon.

Ash Greytree

I'm planning on staying home and relaxing. I have an anime backlog that needs to be caught up to, and nothing but time until late March, when my classes resume thanks to the wonky schedule that's in place for my GIS classes.

Ash Greytree

There are definitely pangs of bittersweetness to the way that Marion & Lois are stuck like this, discussing the potential permanence of it all, and Marion saying he only misses being human sometimes now, finding joy in his new form... it carries those usual gut-punch-y feelings that come with fi...

Ash Greytree

Speaking of feelings of inadequacy, it always makes me feel dumb when others catch onto concepts and themes and character traits that I didn’t catch. I saw that he was almost always reacting to events and all that, but never even once thought about that played into it being brought up multiple times...

Ash Greytree

Well, there’s the clarification. That wording and the circumstances really did have me believing that Steward was a red herring all along. Now we wait to see when Bronson and Mr. Porter show up at Keene’s doorstep... Lois & Marion are truly thick as thieves. I’m glad that they have each other. M...

Ash Greytree

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, IMO...

Ash Greytree

My understanding of what Steward is saying here is that he’s talking about when he teamed up with Thomas originally, in that one scheme, as Rikunda pointed out,and not recently. I think Thomas and Steward are acting on their own, individually, as of right now. As is being discussed, the way Steward ...

Ash Greytree

That's more what I'm expecting. Agreed. After spending this long with them and so long focused on them, we may be getting a couple of arcs elsewhere and with other characters. It’d be cool though if one of the interim arcs is a “the pets all get together to have some fun” arc like the water gun war...

Ash Greytree

For me, the quality of the arc doesn’t really hinge on whether or not Steward was guilty of transforming Marion & Lois or helping the character who did. I think My Life As A Teenage Squirrel has been great. We were introduced to a couple of new characters outside of the typical species range of ...

Ash Greytree

I got finished with my first session of therapy earlier today, which was more of me telling them what they need to know so that future sessions can be more productive. After that, I got some lunch from one of the spots over there because the restaurants in that area are top-notch. I got back home a ...

Ash Greytree

Karishad is a big help, grabbing the door like that. And I guess I underestimated Fox’s speed and forget how fast dogs can run in general; it should be easy for a dog with proper training and muscle to run down a slightly pudgy badger. The coin in the second WHAM panel looks to me like it got sent f...

Ash Greytree

Yeah, I’m real curious as to where this is headed. Either way, I strongly believe that Lois & Marion are going to be stuck as animals. If Fox didn’t think ahead to bring more K9’s to get him, then this is going to a “Well, while we search for him, the ECP will do its best to accommodate you” sce...

Ash Greytree

Joys: Classes have been passed, and I have three months off due to how the next class is in March, as part of a compressed 8-week course. I have time to commit to self-care and other important stuff.

Ash Greytree

Going to go grocery shopping, make a late lunch at home, and then head out to the gym. It’s arm and ab day, and those are where I’m the most scrawny, so I need to put some major time and work in there.

Ash Greytree

Perhaps hes not working alone, but not working with anyone. It seems possible that the kits got hold of the coin and did something that Steward noticed but didnt really think about until Marion shows up. Maybe they tried a ritual or something that transformed Marion from afar. Remote transformation...

Ash Greytree

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...

Ash Greytree

Trying to parse what he's saying... He could be telling them to either look for the gold, or go to the ruins of the temple where they could find clues. Both of those would likely lead them to Steward. But what throws me off is how Kitsune says "It's not gonna help with what you really need~&quo...

Ash Greytree

There is also the thought that both were about to graduate high school. Marion is 17 at the start of the arc. Lois is 17 or 18. Both seemed to be planning on college (Marion said as much just before meeting Truck and Falstaff). It hasn't been said, but they possibly were going to move out in three ...

Ash Greytree

I feel like the next 5 strips before the Christmas timeskip are going to involve Lois asking Kitsune if he knows who did it. Kitsune replies saying he doesn’t, or that revealing too much would be bad for the universe and what-not. I don't think it needs to be a fate of the universe thing. I mean, i...

Kitsune replies saying he doesn’t, or that revealing too much would be bad for the universe and what-not. Marion & Lois have a real downer moment for a second when suddenl...

Joys: I got my final project completed last night and it felt really good having that done with time to spare so I could play games for a couple hours afterward. I can go into class with my presentation at the ready and really clean house.

Ash Greytree

I went to the doctor earlier today to get prescription refills, and swung by the grocery store to grab a few essentials. I'm now wrapping up my project, and if I get done soon, I may have enough time to play games later tonight. It feels like time's going by super fast for some reason I can't pin do...

Ash Greytree

Sorrows: I forgot to take my meds last night, and my mood during the day was getting progressively worse and I was getting more irritable. This was not what I needed, especially on a day like this where I need to get work done on my project. Joys: I managed to get back into a good mood after getting...

Ash Greytree

Well, no magic snap of the fingers to poof our squirrel and bobcat back to their original forms. It was worth a shot. Hopefully Lois can hold Marion back from attempting to bite the earlobe of a demigod, even though it's something that he's definitely come to deserve for a bunch of other things. As ...

Ash Greytree

Kitsune's true form is truly stunning, but something tells me that even with the ability to turn himself into that, he won't be able to change Marion & Lois back. There's 7 strips left in the arc before the timeskip. My guess is that it's going to be a back-and-forth with M&L asking Kitsune ...

Ash Greytree

Joys: Yesterday I got my final project for one of my classes done. All I need to do is give the presentation on Thursday. My project for my other class is also coming along swimmingly, which is good because the short report and presentation for that is due on Wednesday. I'm all wired up with coffee ...

Ash Greytree

If that was the case then it would be pretty tragic and maybe too much for the comic that they have to stay as animals forever. Nobody can cheat death and this is just a loophole. Plus you know eventually their families would disown them just like what happened in "The Metamorphosis". It'...

Ash Greytree

It would be funny, in an odd way, if Kitsune did this to them for the greater good. It wouldn't really be in character, but somehow he needed these two in these forms for some reason that we won't know for some time. .. Marion: What do you mean that you did this to us? Why?! Lois: What did we do to...

Ash Greytree

As Fenrir pointed out, another boarding house being set up is definitely a plot point to keep an eye on. It may even be the focus of these upcoming strips, after whatever revelations arise from their meeting with Kitsune. The ECP is going to start introducing more prey animals to the program, as per...

Ash Greytree

Working on my assignments, trying to get back into the groove of things better than I have been. I have two weeks left in my class and I can't afford to mess around any more.

Ash Greytree

I'm really excited to see what comes of this meeting. Lois seems like she's prepared to dork out upon meeting Kitsune, either because she's a mythology buff or a huge nerd for anime/Japanese culture, maybe a little bit of both. It'll be interesting if we get a few strips with Kitsune and that gets u...

Ash Greytree

Yep, this chain of events looks like it’s going to lead back to the treehouse one way or the other. I have a feeling that Keene is going to name-drop Steward soon, and Marion will either get livid at Keene alongside Lois via a misunderstanding and overreaction, thinking that Keene and Steward are in...

Ash Greytree

Our Thanksgiving get-together with the extended family is in about two hours. I’m looking forward to all the good food and catching up with my cousins.

Ash Greytree

I like to think that Breel knows the severity of the situation, but took some classes in Heaven about peaceful conflict resolution and decided the best way to stop the fighting was by offering delicious cookies. Breel must not yet be fully used to having a body if he’s visibly shanking in panel 4. T...

Ash Greytree

Don't really see that happening for several reasons. One being that unlike King they have families already and everyone including the pets would know they are really human trapped in animal bodies. So....Awkward. Second, because they are human there is still this "divide' between the pets and ...
