Towards cats at least. Rufus was even hinted this in the cast page back then.Buster wrote:last time we saw him alive he was implied to be in a polyamorus relationship with a trio of cats, so that makes being straight up gay unlikely. Bisexual maybe?

Back in the genesis era of Housepets!, the "Barn Cats" appeared in the context of (a) apparently being females and (b) being attracted to a very hormone-rattled Peanut. T'would not have been unreasonable to assume (as Valerio did in his marvelous fanfic) that they had some backstory with ol'Roof.
But conjecture is just that, and that doesn't elaborate much on his smooching Maxwell. Grape may very well demand an explanation for us all.

Maybe some spiritual instinct told Rufus to give Maxwell a smooch...

I think Rufus is just a troll, got to get your kicks while you can because you never know when you might die...wait...I guess he just likes to still get his kicks regardless.

Odd.
I'm sure I sent a post here, but it doesn't seem to be here. THe View your posts features doesn't show it. Maybe I forgot to hit send or something.
So again, (apologies if this did go through and I just can't see my own post.)
The last panel still does not show and end card, a small END or FIN. This suggests we still have some wrap up to do. But I wonder where that is?
We've seen Breel's closure
Seen the Heavenly Huskies' closure
Seen Dallas and the Nerds' closure
Seen Rez and Grape get closure, mostly, at the bus stop.
Seen Rufus and his team get closure, even if questions did arise
Tarot got her closure with Kitsune even if she didn't like it
Steward and Kari's closure came with them getting residency in the tree house
So who is left?
I suspect if may be Thomas and Sophia.

Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
Okay, let's say thanks to Rufus for his participation in saving the world, but, what has he done to help you all? He has been hiding for most of the time... Don't way so about it, Rufus, because you can make Duke's wish desirable. Aww, that's cute... But, it makes also wonder us: why that kiss to Maxwell? Rufus should already know Maxwell, in someway, and Maxwell is reminding of a Rufus...
I can confirm this. Maybe Rufus has European origins, indeed?Bandit1990 wrote:Kissing on the cheek as a greeting or farewell is a common trope for depictions of European cultures, esp. French and Italian.
Having never been there, I cannot speak for the reality of it.
Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
Hm...maybe we should take this literally? Like, don't read into it, it was literally nothing. Maybe this is simply a sign that we worry and get anxious over the smallest details of the comic, and that sometimes things just just happen, and we should relax, and appriciate the comic as a whole, not the simplest details....
....
HAHAHA!!!
Who am I kidding, I'm from the Gravity Falls fandom! Over analyze everything!!! THIS IS THE SIGN OF A BUDDING ROMANCE BETWEEN RUFUS AND MAX!! OR MAYBE THIS SYMBOLIZES A KISS OF DEATH, WHICH MEANS MAX MAY BE IN A TERRIBLE SITUATION SOON! ANALY-

Step 1: Take character with very little known information
Step 2: Imply backstory with another character with untold backstory.
Step 3: Sit back and relax as fans lose their minds trying to figure it all out.
I really hope this leads to absolutely nothing just to mess with us lol

Given the alt-text, I'm going to assume Max and Rufus had a one night snuggle that was lost from Max's memories in a haze of catnip... that was probably the cause of the one night snuggle.

Rufus, with his appreciation of felines spent some time with Max's mother. She always told Max about the kind country gentleman of the canine persuasion. Rufus always saw Max as a surrogate son sometimes helping from behind the scene, but always with credit from Maxie's mother.
So being that Rufus means he is the Rufus who made Max the tom he is today. The kiss was fatherly to the son he wished he'd been around for.

No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Hm, when was Sabrina's History of the World written? That stated that pets could see up to 40. In this case, the most recent should be accepted as canon, though for a long while I've been holding to 40 because of that.

Re: 2018/05/21 - Don’t Read Into It
Yours wins out by about 18 months. "dogs and cats [can] live up to forty years" is the standing canon. Rick Griffin said it is explained elsewhere why Sabrina can address the audience and can compare and contrast the worlds, but I've never been able to find it. Did he never get to writing that part or am I that bad at looking for stuff?
