Title Text: and by “hot rod” I of course mean a pontiac grand am with the hood missing
And I hate him.
My guess? He's the one Steward and Dino Demon manipulate.
I know, right? He's so on the nose, you know things are about to go downhill not big time, but MASSIVE time!
I actually kind of wonder if Todd is what he seems. Is the zoo missing a red panda? Also have to feel for the zebra. Losing your humanity and your hands has to suck.Silly Zealot wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 2:33 amI know, right?

Or perhaps he is Steward in disguise? Also, I see someone became a zebra but I wonder who the fluffy tail behind Sasha's head belongs to.
I think even Bino would want to punch this dude in the face.
Looks like a Racoon tail almost, but all the Raccoons we've seen in the comic so far have dark tips.
Character development can kick in and this comic is good at it. Joel and Gale didn't exactly start out as nice yet became fan favorites after some development. After Joel showed his face (the first human one in the comic) many at the time thought he was being set up as a recurring villain yet one arc later King is Fox's corgi BFF and the fans loved him. Poncho was pretty forgettable until his development kicked in. Bailey likely was forgotten after appearing as a one-off. Alternatively Steward seemed like a nice, professional guy at first until he teamed up with Thomas several years later and even then he seemed like a lackey until he got a muzzle and tail slapped on him and turned into a threat.
I like these two theories a whole lot in particular. The first for the fact that it rules out Marion being tempted by DD and/or Steward. I definitely believe that Marion is content with where he is in life right now, willing to roll with the punches. Someone who is, on first impressions, as selfish and egotistical and sleazy like Todd gives Steward a chance to wreck Keene's plans. Steward and DD reach out to Todd giving him false promise of an easy out for doing Steward's bidding.
I'd imagine it might just be an attempt to make the environment feel more normal to former humans and to help ease them into their new situation. Or possibly that animals like Sasha think they might be taken more seriously if they wear cloths?Vertigo Fox wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 11:51 am Is there a reason everybody here except Keene is more-or-less fully dressed? I can understand why Marion and Lois and the new guy would be... but I'm a bit confused when it comes to Sasha.
And if this *is* just a "dress up for the occasion" occasion, then why not Keene?
I'm probably reading way too much into this.

Nah, this theory is too convoluted.Ash Greytree wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 11:08 am The second theory would be especially neat. Maybe Keene "procured" [...} would fit rather well into Keene's character.

It's only one badger and a bird, but taking into account they've been at this for a year, give or take, and there's enough people in the city changed that the *county* does something (though it is a larger city and likely the seat of the county), I'd say no more than 20%. Probably closer to 10%.Elwood Blutarsky wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 12:16 am Oh my gosh, Stewart did get a bunch of people changed off panel. How much of the town is still human at this point?
I'd very much doubt he's been that busy. Disappearances happen every day. Animals claiming they were once Human probably happens quite often too. Mass disappearances, however, brings in Federal investigators. Spontaneous transformations bring in people like the C.D.C. We've seen neither Feds nor C.D.C., just an uptick in registered Animals.CuriousCnidarian wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 2:55 am First time I've checked the comic for a while, glad to see things picking back up. And with a new (probably) antagonistic character! Very nice. Also, since Marion is back and I don't think I ever previously mentioned it, I had always thought it was more of a female name, so I was surprised to see it be given to a male character. turns out John Wayne's birth name was Marion, and it's really more of a unisex name. So I guess Marion's parents are either huge John Wayne fans, or just don't like Marion. Seriously, who names their kid Marion in this day and age? It's like they wanted him to have a hard time growing up.
