[ Raise The Roof ]

Title text: lois that's OUR thing

Plans that very easily could have gone horribly awry, but luckily went exactly to plan are a staple for a reason you know ;)

It's like demon-steward turned over a rock in the forest and all the roly-polys that were underneath it started running every which way. Even in its current condition, you could still probably get a decent price for that car in today's market. And will we ever get a name for the aardvark? Considering this is (supposedly) the last arc, probably not.

Something tells me from that 'Little' Stammer he gave out, Steward's only job was to make sure they don't ever leave his sight, and now we're about to see the consequences of him failing said task... 😬

Finally, being a quite honest jerk
begins to pay off for young Todd.
As one overacts his heart out
Todd just steals the limelight, the sod.
Steward opens the sardine can,
using his claw as the key.
He was after the snack inside
but he’s enabled them to flee.
Operation ‘leg it’s in play
as they scatter into the wind.
If they make it to Kitsune
All of Stewards’ plans will be binned.

Lois seems like quite the fan of that particular threat.

Well, that hurt Stewart.

I think it's funny they got away so easily as well, but I can blame it on Stewart not being used to reacting to these situations. x3

I think Todd doesn't know the difference between threatening to eat you with love and threatening to just eat you. I am pretty sure his is the latter. :geek:

Eheh, Marion is clearly faking to feel weak. :P Lois' mimic isn't new to me. :lol: Whoa, Todd, you made him angry, without any offensive bad word! :o Well, villains can also react so. :P But it worked, demon Steward opened the car like a can. :D Run away with all your energies... :? Todd can be a nice morsel for you, Lois, but wait after your running to see if it worked. ;)

... and nowwwwwww, NAME THAT AARDVARK!!! Remember the comic where Maxwell was a lost, injured kitten, pursued by a voracious coyote and a raven ... everybody was trying to name the coyote without waiting for Rick to reveal his/her moniker. Samantha, I think, was the main choice but I don't think the character was around long enough to get a name from Mr. Griffin.

The name of the coyote was given in the title text and it was said to be Sam. Whether or not that was actually the name or just a joke is unknown. I think that everybody decided it was a female though and we didn't get that information from Rick.

Same here. And tbh, I kinda like the idea of the aardvark remaining unnamed.

Pretty sure that wasn't really her(his?) name. It was just a jokey reference to the old Warner Bros. cartoon series "Sam & Ralph".

Albert the Aardvark has a nice ring to it I think, him remaining nameless seems fine though, maybe more will be revealed about this character later in the arc, seems like he's gonna hang about.

That's fairly likely, given that part of the resolution of this story will likely include many/some of the transformed humans having their humanity restored. Then he'll just disappear with Terrance, Rex, Daisy, Yeltsin and other walk-ons.

On the other hand, imagine the rumpus in the camel cage when Thomas changes back - good thing he wasn't turned into a viper. Cathy would not be pleased. ;)

Since Thomas wants to turn back into a human I think he might not be one of the ones that gets turned back. I also wouldn't be surprised if Karma Houdini Cecilia who got away with everything and left Thomas getting all the blame is also permanently turned.

As of now, I think that all of the characters in the car will want to stay as animals. Albeit I can see Marion and Lois wanting their genders reversed.

I could see Thomas not getting turned, because he was a victim of the curse's intended purpose - he tried to steal the gold. Same with Steward. All other transformations post-King were due to a misuse of that curse in ways it was never intended, so those get rectified. Overall, that'd be an ending I'd be OK with.

We will just have to see what happens when this arc is over and what the future holds. Rick isn't doing arcs anymore so I assume he'll just be doing one=shots then? I'm not sure how that works.

I'm not sure what is going to happen. I thought I read that Rick was done with doing arcs so the only thing I can think of is one-shots.

He said that Heckraiser: Revelations would be the last arc, then Housepets would rebrand into something like "Housepets: Worlds" because there's still stories he wants to tell, he just doesn't want to be "locked in" to any one particular story, iirc. I'd imagine it'd be something like the smaller one-off standalone chapters focusing on wildly different characters that don't tie in to any overarching story.

So he will focus on a character instead of an arc then? I think that is what it sounds like.

Marion cries, oh I'm gonna pass out,
Which from Steward brings a shout
That he wants them to just go with the plan
As he opens the car up like a can.

Todd's ticked him off and they run,
Now comes time for the real fun;
As they flee and don't back,
Lois says, "I'll make you a snack."
You're a wonderful person! You can do this! Yes, you, person reading this!

Just from seeing them all stuck in the car I now know how unbearable it must be for pets left in a car on a hot day. That has really truly horrifying. :shock:
