[ The First ]

Title Text: it's not like you haven't been without collars before so what's with the blushing

Keene does not recognize the word "Heaven"

So is this the first animal you meet in heaven?

AstroOtter · Post by **AstroOtter** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 12:04 am

Heaven is an all-mustelid anything!

bjchan95 · Post by **bjchan95** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 12:05 am

Well here we meet animal number one!
And three pages in and we're still no closer to discovering how Keene ended up in heaven in the first place ;3

Well it sure looks like a nice plac- ... Wait you have a tennis court ? I LOVE TENNIS.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 12:35 am

Usually such a Conservative,
Keene's never been a Lib-
Breel; on the other paw,
sure knows the free way to live.
Showing the clueless the kingdom;
a place of infinite zeal and jest'
Possibly it's in the Indian Ocean
that Keene has come to rest?
No Labour here, all politics done
the peaceful ways do beckon.
The world stretches out before him
and implores our Keene to have fun.

An all-mustelid establishment isn't something you'd see everyday...

...unless you live in heaven, in which case you probably do see one every day

THE CUTENESS! EEEEEEE!!!!!

Post by **D-Rock** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 12:55 am

I really have to wonder how Keene has not heard of Heaven.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 1:05 am

Ack! All the advanced nakedness!

Either Keene is having a brain fart, he's never heard of heaven, or he's illiterate - or he could be in denial.

Yes. And it seems brochure was not changed since 2014

Maybe it's because the brochure is eternal like heaven

I find it really funny where Keene looks at in the first panel

Also the first animal you meet in heaven gives you a massage...sign me in

Now all I need to know is: is Breel a boy's name or a girls name? (Google doesn't help; it's a last name!)

well, technicaly, the hippo was first

So. Cute. Mustelid Massage and Tennis Clinic.

Is Keene blushing in the first panel?

I found this

But Breel does not have eyelashes. And it does not mean anything because Grape does not have it too.

Aww Keene's a little nervous around collarless weasels. =^^=

Wolfbane · Post by **Wolfbane** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 7:23 am

I get the feeling that the moment of realization is only a few pages away, maybe even on the next page.

... Is it bad that I'm really looking forward to Keene's breakdown, if he does has one?

WeirdGamer · Post by **WeirdGamer** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 8:05 am

Side note: The first panel is, in my opinion, the cutesiest Keene's ever looked in this comic.

Furryface18 · Post by **Furryface18** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 11:56 am

Keene read it like a substitute teacher would read a roster for attendance. They always pronounce names in the weirdest way possible. I've been called "Gabriella", "Gaabriel" and my last name is even worse but I'm not going there.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 1:09 pm

Looks a nice place.

Aww, Breel is so cute.

Eheh, collars are optional in the Heaven.

Yeah, Keene is new there, and in fact he hasn't still realized to be in a place hat doesn't exist, as some says.

Yep, that's a cool name for a vacation place. You're funny, Keene.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 2:32 pm

Breel has a cat-like tail :3

also - Keene likes chest fur. Breel is already home with him.

Toobwoozles everywhere! Otterly adorableness! ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

How have we not coined a term for collarless nudity yet? Naked necks... nakedness... Neckedness!

justacritic · Post by **justacritic** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 5:07 pm

I wonder if for Keene there's some sort of state of mind thing that has him unable to accept what Heaven is like King did.

I thought we'd settled on "advanced nakedness"!

Judging from his/her chest fur color I would guess pine marten.

Just don't stare :3

Sansash · Post by **Sansash** » Sat Apr 16, 2016 2:05 am

Advanced neckedness?

Considering all the lovely long necks we're seeing, it's strangely appropriate!

Hey, is the name Keene Milton a play on Milton Keynes? Am I the first or the last to notice this?

Adoring Fan · Post by **Adoring Fan** » Sat Apr 16, 2016 3:24 pm

This just feels wrong... I'm still hoping it all ends up being a Scrooge situation and its just to change him for the better.... Having one of the pets die... even Keene... seems just so dark for this comic..

Post by **D-Rock** » Sat Apr 16, 2016 5:15 pm

We've had on-screen death before. As long as it's not shown in great detail, I think a PG comic can get away with it. Heck, even Watership Down and Secret of NIMH had multiple on-screen deaths, though it could be argued that it's because what ratings look at tends to change.

Did I miss the part where we try to guess how he got here?
Cause my money is on plane crash.

Most likely a pine marten, could be an American marten (like Cinnamon) but I'm not seeing the eye markings. Beech marten and stone marten have paler throat patches. Breel's throat patch is more regular than is typical for either the pine marten or the American marten.

Rick doesn't know about your previous comic book artists, but he intends to do as little dying as possible.

*goes over to Argent*

Give five on Gargoyles turning him to stone.

Has anybody noticed the copypasted face in one of the mustelids in the second panel?
(Hint: Tarot has also that face)

Post by **Obbl** » Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:59 am

It's hard to draw unique faces on every character, so sometimes an artist will default to certain similar expressions. But many people watched Rick free hand that mustelid in his live stream, so any similarity to Tarot is coincidence

Housepets!
