Since Kit has a flair for the Theatrics, I predict he either shows up out-sizing Steward or cutting him down to size. Or, he summons a 'Champion' (a certain mana-induced somebody, perhaps?) to take him down once and for all.

Have to say, if he brings Res in to fight Steward, that'd be pretty cool!

My guess before this page was that Steward is a big dummy and forgot to put a roof on top of his barrier. I’d imagined them launching Marion over the barrier with a super powerful squirrel-launcher (the kind you see in those YouTube videos) and him surviving thanks to how squirrels can land safely even at terminal velocity, but this works too, especially because it gives us the best panel of Marion yet. I love his pose and expression.
With the right community, getting into a webcomic at the beginning of a brand new arc can feel just as enjoyable and rewarding as being there from the beginning.

Well, it seems Steward wasn’t as prepared as he thought, also that was a narrow escape for Kitsune. Res would be an interesting twist, to the battle, a (kinda) comic twist to it is that more pets are recruited from heaven, including Max and Peanut, but not Grape, after the battle is over and they return to heaven, or however Rick decides to end the arc, Grape learns that she missed out on Res in weretiger form. .

Eheh, that's so cool! :D There's Marion, very good job with that high visibility for Great Kitsune. :) That has been a big error, demon Steward, you had to include the tallest part of the city in your anti-demigods shield. :P Oh, right in time for the alarm, Great Kitsune, so you won't need to listen your Kix. :lol: Yeah, Kix, he has to do important stuff, you always need patience with him. ;)
The forth panel is just awesome! :D

Now the question is, were those alarms Kitsune was experiencing because of the massive hell-demon rampaging around the city? Or because his partner wanted to have a serious talk about their relationship? :lol:

Marion certainly seems to be having an "I enjoy being a squirrel" moment to match Lois' "I enjoy being a lynx" moment the other day.

Hey as long as they choose to stay like that I'm fine with it. I'm not a big fan of the theory that they have to give up their choice for the greater good.

You see the angel atop the tower?
He’s sure-pawed and you made him so.
You gave him litheness of figure -
you didn’t give him courage though.
Outsmarted by your own victims;
who only needed to escape range
to summon help from the godly
who now has things to rearrange.
So the Spirit of ecstasy
is Squirrel shaped in Babylon?
The Rolls-Royce of heroes right now
is a surprise named Marion.

So since squirrels can land safely at terminal velocity, does this mean he can jump from the tower and land safely?

I wonder if Marion's (human form) nut allergy is going to come into play somehow, just seems like one of those things Rick mentions in passing and then ignores without resolving at the time. AFAWK, he hasn't tried a nut to see if he is still allergic in squirrel form.

Well Well Well good to see that things are still going so well here. Demon Steward was spitting facts but was far from the truth and now the Great Kitsune going to go in and take care of some business. will be interesting to see what trick he will use to stop Steward.

Honestly, if Marion does stay an animal then I could easily see him be a radio DJ in that case. :P

It might be because if his plan succeeds then you just know that Eudoant will double-cross him and use what Steward accomplished as a springboard for his own plans. :shock:

It still feels too early for the bad guys to end up taking a loss. Besides we still have to check in with NegaBreel and Eudoant.

A squirrel's atop the radio mast
A-popping bad-ger's bubble,
Kitsune's gone away in a flash,
Oh boy, now there's trouble!

Lois uses her smarts to annoy
A certain butt-winged badger boy,
Putting up quite a flight
For Marion to perch atop the beacon light.
You're a wonderful person! You can do this! Yes, you, person reading this!
