Title Text: Do you have anything to say, Lampy from Brave Little Toaster colored green
Nothing says "all is forgiven" than regrets born from food comas you were invited to.

There was no hole. Miles is that tough and strong.Nobody wrote:I'm just noticing how Mile's tail appears to go through the couch he's sitting on. Does the couch have a hole in the back specifically for that purpose?
Yeah join the club. As far as I can tell Miles and Gale were friends but Gale wanted a family but Miles feared overpopulation of predators so he convinced her not to do it. Then he had kids behind Gale’s back. She got upset, Miles got upset, feelings got hurt, Miles left the forest with the pack, Gale’s feelings were hurt again because she felt abandoned by what we can assume were the only other predators around and her only friends. Then the pack came back and Gale was still bitter about the whole thing. There were so many reasons which muddied the water that no one could figure it out.Macsen wrote:I don't know if I missed something, but I still don't understand what happened between Miles and Gale.
About that. Then when the pack came back Gale had by this time become hardened to the absence of the wolves and took it as yet another betrayal and a challenge to her territory.fenrirblack wrote:Yeah join the club.

You seem to have figured out a perfectly credible scenario up there.There were so many reasons which muddied the water that no one could figure it out.
Just to be safe, i'll sum it one more time :3Obbl wrote:Y'all the reason for Gale being upset was really straight-forwardly laid out several times. Fenrir's first paragraph is absolutely correct. Just accept that explanation at face value, cause it's truly no more complicated than that =3
It's been a LOOONG Time since we had a Halloween themed strip relating to the Story (or any Holiday for that matter), so I second this. What if it was something whole like King and Bailey taking their Pups out Trick-Or-Treating?fenrirblack wrote:You think we’ll jump straight to a Thanksgiving Story or quickly go into Halloween. The new “Pet Semetary” trailer was released and it got my brain thoughts overflowing.

He does have a credible scenario, doesn't he? Fenrir has spotted the salient points (I think). But he needs to scramble them up to get the one, continuous, plot.Argent wrote:About that.

Not seeing how this is a mystery at this point. Miles screwed up and compounded the problem by overreacting to Gale's overreaction, and Gale took it hard.
Where’d you get this? And does this really belong in the part on the latest comic? It’s interesting, but out of place here. Also, personally, I’m not surprised by this. Rick might have a basic framework on some of these ideas, but the way the arcs are setup, I’m not surprised he thought them all up separately. I’m just glad that he setup notes about the details he focused on, I’d be more offended if he just assumed we’d forget about them over time. And aside from arguably Bino/Duchess, all this stuff sounds exciting to see, and been awhile since the last Bino arc and I’m all for an arc that has little to no major impact on plot, which Bino’s arcs often are. I don’t know, I don’t think this stuff is anything to be upset with, but maybe that’s just mefenrirblack wrote:"A thing I notice some people absolutely hate about my work is that they'll latch onto my method of revealing details--saying something that barely hints at a much larger story--and take that as a promise to tell the hidden backstory
Well, no. I'm sorry to disappoint people but it is not, has never been and will never be my intention to dive in and explain absolutely everything I hint at, down to the last detail. That is not how I view stories. A solid explanation of some side info isn't going to enrich you
My view has always been so long as I explain everything relevant to the plot, that's all I'm obligated to share, and everything else is just bonus. My purpose in providing extra detail cues is to prompt the reader to think of the world as much larger than the plot, not to BE plot
So all the vitriol over "but you didn't explain if that's how jack lost his arm/how gale got her scar/how Poncho got injured/anything else that happened between gale and miles/what happened in the six month time skip"
is
absolutely
unnecessary
And for the record, the six-month time skip gag was planned from the moment I introduced Gale. It seemed hilarious to me so I ran with it.
I do that.
So, sorry if anyone thought Housepets was some elaborately plotted interconnected story building up to some grand point, and not a hodgepodge of whatever seems to be the most interesting idea to pursue at any given time with a couple themes I keep returning to" @RicksWriting
Well isn't that interesting. It's almost the exact opposite of how I write.
*Sigh* At least he said it so we can have some closure, I guess. And it did answer my question from yesterday.
And I think deep down we all knew. We just thought things would be different after Year 10. I did anyway.
I find this fascinating. The inner workings of Rick's mind....![]()
"My elaborate plans for housepets:
What's the next arc gonna be?
Wanna do story with Breel again, but not too soon
Wanna do story with demons again, but not too soon
Need to return to the Bino/Duchess arc again
Need to do something with the coin
Need to do something about Tarot
At least one of those should involve the fox twins
Probably explain what happened with Maxwell and Rufus because I made way too big a point about it
Could stand to further Mungo and Fox story
etc
I have a lot of "need to do this at some point" thoughts, basically" @RicksWriting
Excuse us for thinking there was some there was elaborate long term plan considering Year 10 ended with Pete and Dragon plotting their return to power and "Shifty-Eyes" Steward looked like he was plotting something worse. Not to mention the overdramatic dino demon and the whole "Then the Contract is Sealed" thing. Shame on us. Shame on me.
