I wonder who wants to hear more?
I wonder if it’s our Tarot?
I hope it’s her more than Lois
as Todd insults the pets, y’know?
We’ve seen hints of your life, my man,
and I wouldn’t say it’s that great.
Easy, maybe, as mum does all
but that is rarely our fate.
Pride comes before a fall, young Todd,
and your fall may be coming soon.
Let those around become your friends
and stop reacting like a loon...

Don't see why not. She might even wish to be human, though I doubt that. Perhaps get her full psychic powers back?

Todd has a point tho.
What we don't have to forget, Marion has the privileges of a human (home, no need to find food, etc.) and also having the priviliges of being a "supported animal" (extra funding, no need to work). Which of course gives the point, that being a human again is a disadvantage to the status quo. While Todd doesn't have the "supported animal" privilages yet... so he will have the advantage of being human back.

Makes me wonder if Marion is starting to think that maybe being an animal is better for him and he may use his wish to become an animal similar to Lois (just so he could be tall).

I'm fine with Marion choosing to stay an animal if that is what he wants and Todd being forced to stay an animal since he is a bit of a ***** but if Marion does stay a squirrel I hope he can have his gender reversed if he so chooses. :P

Yeah, not all of them in the car got transformed into humans. ;) Marion is the one of the news some time ago. And, right this time now gone seems that's leaving Marion and Lois to accept the transformation... :? You're only waiting for that, Todd, we know that, but you can't judge the other's opinion in that way, caring only to yourself... Your life was awesome as human? And Marion's one wasn't awesome too, according to you? :roll: Flea magnet? :x You deserve to remain as such, then, Todd... I wonder what else Marion would wish, though. When this curse will broke, probably you'll all turn back as humans, that's it.

I kind of hope, based on the Aardvark's "chopped liver" comment at the beginning, that he'll get a cool yiddish name like Yosef. :p

Don't think that will sit very well with people, considering that would mean he's Jewish and you know the trait most people instantly think of about arrdvarks

Yeah..... let's not go there.

He'll ask for like, ten girlfriends and a sports car, only to realize he forgot to ask to be human again and the girls ditch him because it would be gross and Kitsune pulls a prank on him: "you never said she car had to work!"

Until Rick decides to give the Aardvark a name I'm still going to be thinking of him as the animalized Earl Sandwich leading to one Itsuki Kitamura who would most likely be offended if asked if Japanese legends of tanuki transformations are true.

Can't be Earl, he owns a auto shop so wouldn't have a boss with an executive washroom. For that matter, he doesn't seem to be from the neighborhood since you'd think he was at least a bit familiar with the local pets like Tarot.

I don't think Rick ever went into any details of Earl's business, if it's a franchise like Jiffy Lube he might have a corporate Boss.

It's possible, but I think that he went into enough when Earl hired Itsuki to work for him that it seemed he was likely a sole proprietor.

It is still an interesting thought problem to try and figure out if the aardvark is going to turn out to be someone human we've met. There aren't that many to consider, TBH. It would have to be a human that had a job in most likely an office downtown and was not at least passingly familiar with Tarot. I can't think of anyone that fits. Earl would have to know Tarot since she's around all the time.

I would love for the reason we have yet to hear his name is that this turns out to have been Mr. Hartford. Though I seem to recall his speech pattern was a bit different.

Assuming Kitsune and or whoever controls the curse wants to continue The Sandwich naming tradition, can anyone think of a sandwich named after an animal? That might be what Earl gets turned into.

Imagine if the reason he’s yet to be named is because his surname is literally “Aardvark.”

That definitely would be one for the books as I checked and there is no record of Aardvark being a last name at least in the United States.
