Either Lucrecia rescues them or Gale returns them to Miles with most of their teeth intact and never speak of Gale again :3

Re: 2018/08/01 - Second Thoughts
There are no words to describe how much I love this strip.
But there are other words like What Lucretia was there the whole time?! So much for my theory about girl’s week.
I said this once but it needs to be said again. I need to see the wolf cubs in school more than anything (except King’s dad of course).
Look at Miles being all contemplated. Are we still sure he doesn’t know what going on? He seems pretty oblivious to me. Ahh aren’t they adorable together. Old people love.

Re: 2018/08/01 - Second Thoughts
Yeah, especially considering that all that needs to happen to resolve this is someone telling Gale that they don't intend to stay in the area.GameCobra wrote:Either Lucrecia rescues them or Gale returns them to Miles with most of their teeth intact and never speak of Gale again :3
So, public school sounds better than being physically thrown in a rocky pit...well, maybe just.

Re: 2018/08/01 - Second Thoughts
Miles relaxes with his Lady Love
as Wolves rain into the pit.
Gale’s moved from push to shove
and got the little twit.
Lucretia leans into her male
as her son regrets his choice.
She doesn’t know Miles’ plan might fail
as a Daryl finds his voice.
Now Daryl’s stopped his screaming
he’s getting cheeky, he is;
as he laughs at Darth he’s beaming
soon lost teeth could be his.

Re: 2018/08/01 - Second Thoughts
I hope Deevee's missing teeth is just a one-off gag and not something serious that persists because losing teeth is kinda a big deal. Given the nature of this comic I shouldn't be worried, yet here I am (I find it ironic the only time the name Darth Vader Sanchez has been said in the comic (not including the tags) is in the cast page when Rockstar Hawk claimed it).

Still don't get how people live the same way we do with wildlife like that. I would think the world would be waaaaay different if animals have opposable thumbs.
Hopefully those three will escape the cougar pit.
I hope the Miltons lose their money somehow so they wont have to use the money excuse to solve all their problems.

I don't think Lana would buy their way in. She'd probably encourage the positive press any school would get from accepting the Wolves. And keep the money for 'Plan B'.

Then again I would enjoy the pups going to school arc because we would at lest have more human animal interactions (atlest human kids since seem kinda odd we barely see any in housepets.)
Re: 2018/08/01 - Second Thoughts
Miles and Lucretia are such an enchanting couple ... I get the biggest kick out of Lucretia's "insecurities" since her demand brought the pack to BGardens in the first place.
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn learn is just to love and be loved in return."
That line is from the song "Nature Boy". Look up the Nat King Cole version on. YouTube.
Yeah, old folks snuggling ... Me and the missus married since 1971......
Regards.

As I understand it, the point of the wolf project is to promote human animal integration. Private schools are often seen as elite. Putting the wolf kids in with regular joe kids comes closer to the equality thing the Miltons seek.
Re: 2018/08/01 - Second Thoughts
Interesting issue since I don't think we've ever encountered evidence of a public school system, a teacher, or school children in Babylon Gardens. In fact, we rarely see children in Babylon Gardens...

Re: 2018/08/01 - Second Thoughts
It is something I've thought about a lot since Rick brought up the subject. My thinking is that private school is the more likely choice for the simplicity of it. We can worry about equality later. First we got to get the cubs through the doors. King's kids can go to public school. Not to mention they got "acceptance letters." I don't know of any public school that sends out "acceptance letters." Plus public schools are so picky and annoying that I can't see them just allowing feral animals into the classes. Imagine the law suits. For the amount of money it would take to get the cubs pass all the bureaucratic red tape, they could bride any half decent private school.TeflonCougar wrote:fenrirblack wrote:

Plus i think private school would be a better story. Uniforms, snobby rich kids, the classic battle to find one's place in a unfamiliar setting, and of course drama.
I don't think kids do exist in Babylon Gardens. All these years and the Sandwich's still have not have a kid. There is a strange logic to it. Pets in this world are practically children in the sense that they need all the stimulation like games, toys, allowence, and stuff. Rick said once that the only reason pets don't eat like humans is cost. To afford a pet and a kid would be $$$. I think that's what happened to Joel. Along with the fact that his parents were horrible pet owners, they obviously could not afford a kid and three pets. Pets already call their owners Mom and Dad. I guess to some people they're like "Good enough for me."NHWestoN wrote:Interesting issue since I don't think we've ever encountered evidence of a public school system, a teacher, or school children in Babylon Gardens.

There was a scene once that I think explains it. https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/20 ... gs-change/
From what we've seen of the government I don't think they are bribable or competent. To be honest I can't think of any fictional government that is. You're doing pretty good if you live in a world where the government doesn't throw kids into the Hunger games.Frank wrote: Now you got me wondering what the government is like in the Housepets universe, whether it's bribable, competent, and whether there's some sort of "emotional support" permit to allow them to enter the school building

Re: 2018/08/01 - Second Thoughts
Eh, here come the after thoughts. Indeed, Lucretia, it's better to don't have them. Your sons needed a good roughing, yes, but they grew in the humans civil world... So, haven't to agree with you, Miles. And now, another of the wolf brothers got caught. Eheh, Daryl wants to be funny, but it's nice that at least one of them now wants to go to school. You lost some teeth? Ouch. If there are already a lot inside there, well, figure out how many victims there have been before you all.
Re: 2018/08/01 - Second Thoughts
Kids show up very, very rarely and then usually just crowd scenes. The only "child-pet" relation of any consequence is, as Fen noted, Joel's " kidnapping" by his pets. The omission is interesting at least in passing given how many comics and stories have a child-animal pairing at their core.
Re: 2018/08/01 - Second Thoughts
Babylon Gardens is a kind of special case, remember it was created by Henry Milton as an experimental community for pet owners who are interested in Henry's vision. If there are any kids in the subdivision, they probably go to a regular school. Not every subdivision gets its own high school.

Re: 2018/08/01 - Second Thoughts
But...if they do send out "acceptance letters"... the BG school system may be under the mistaken impression the cubs are humans! Ten years ago, the vet decided to add our last name to our dog's. Ever since, Sophie has gotten mail from stores, businesses, a spa, and a small northwestern college (No scholarship offer, though). Weird...
