Re: 2014/11/05 - All There In Black And White
Guys, the skunk is male. That settles that. Now then, his sexuality shouldn't bother anyone at all, because this is Housepets, which tends to be a cut above most furry stuff. I've said this once and will say it again, have a little faith that the writer and artist of this strip knows what he's doing. Now I trust there will be no more problems about various animal's sexualty in a funny animal strip, or I will be forced to break out my stick which is only a tad bit smaller then the stick Diss uses.

Why should I do that? There's so many theories being tossed around on the forum you can't claim that one person/a couple people guessing one way the script will go amounts to fans guessing it completely. I mean, you don't actually know for sure until it happens. And if you do guess it correctly, you get a confetti party!Perfesser_Bear wrote:(* sigh. *)
I sometimes wonder if Rick doesn't read the Forum, then crumple & toss a script he put together a year or so before, when one of us second-guesses a twist.

And also, I'm not sure what tragedy has befallen the strip that there happens to be a male character who is flirting uncomfortably with another male character. Surely this thing has never happened before in the history of silly cartoon fiction.

It's sort of funny how we forumites sometimes get worked up about one strip that in the grand scheme of things doesn't end up being such a big deal. It's a bit like part of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle: We see where the comic is, but not where it's going.
Apologies if I've sounded like a worry wart.

Our little Zach got lost in the woods. Too bad (don't be late to go to Keene, the compensation could go away! ), sometimes is better do the longer way to be sure to get in destination. New curious skunk character, but would be better don't give him trust, he looks mischievous and not reassuring... You got a gold ring by trading food, Cory? Which fool could do this? Yeah, we should believe that... Show off this gold ring, and if Zach decides to do you the trading favour (hopefully not), leave him a part of the money... BTW, you're being involuntary mean in saying the truth, Zach, how cute. Yeah, the eyes are of a different color, and they match those of two specific ex-immortal creatures... Who ever is this Cory?

Re: 2014/11/05 - All There In Black And White
Back when I was in the brony fandom, a friend of mine in the fandom made a story called "One Small Favor."
It started with one tiny favor- retrieve some rubies. But quickly things spiraled out of control, causing the main character to have to run all over the land doing increasingly arduous and difficult favors for everyone from the lowly farmer Dinkleberg (this story was rife with references) to the captain of the country's standing army.
I have a sneaking suspicion that this arc will be somewhat like that story. Might just be me.

So this forum has discussed; plant names for characters, the Spanish origin of cilantro, homosexuality, conmen, new characters at Christmas and a Steven king novel, even rich griffin himself showed up for the party.

One of the gems about pets is you can never bee too sure right off the bat if they are male or female except with some clear indications. However, I enjoy this side of the comic. It's more realistic this way. Just like the Bigglesworths.
Cory gives me the impression right off the bat of something I initially thought of Max - sneaky. You can't tell if he's being flirty or he's just trying to get Zach's trust by commenting on him.

Cool a new guy! I like to pretend most of the females are male, so it doesn't matter to me what their real sex is. King and Bailey are one of the only male/female relationship I acknowledge. Grape and Max = male/male.
So what do you think the gold ring really is? No way a feral has a gold ring, and if they did they wouldn't trade it for food out in the forest.

There's been a bunch of suggestions as to what the gold ring is all about, back in the thread. It's worth reading.
Re: 2014/11/05 - All There In Black And White
The problem isn't what you and Howellfan are saying, it's the assumption underneath: that gay relationships are inherently more sexual than straight relationships. There's a perception that a straight relationship is about the love between a man and a woman, and can therefore be portrayed appropriately at any age level, but gay relationships are all butts and elbows and other unmentionables, and so cannot. It's nonsense.Douglas Collier wrote:We are currently in an age where people are deeply split on the subject of homosexuality. If you have more characters who are gay represented within a general population than are statistically accurate (most studies say 5% or less in America, usually less), then it could be taken that the author is setting an agenda. As it is, having a gay pair or two (the kangaroos and the K-9 couple) represents that figure pretty accurately - more than that is pushing it. I don't feel that family-friendly comics like Housepets! should be used to promote topics that are considered controversial in our day and age (including politics and religion).valerio wrote:And just why should be enough?Douglas Collier wrote:I tend to agree with you somewhat, Joel. One gay couple (two if you count the K-9 unit dogs) is quite enough
That's just my two cents on the matter. I hope I haven't offended anyone (as is often the case when discussing sensitive topics).
