Mikl posted:(Also, this is the second mention of the "rabbit license" thing, which apparently is something that can be taken away by the Rabbit Council for serious transgressions; the first time it showed up, if you'll remember, Kevin was at risk of losing it because he's too unfit to properly run away from threats.) But what is a rabbit license? He's still a rabbit whether he has one or not. Does it mean he's not considered a rabbit? If that's the case then couldn't all those rabbits who got in trouble for fighting back against being murdered just purposely lose their rabbit licenses and then say "Hey gently caress you we're not rabbits so we can do what we want"?

If that's the case then couldn't all those rabbits who got in trouble for fighting back against being murdered just purposely lose their rabbit licenses and then say "Hey gently caress you we're not rabbits so we can do what we want"? IIRC, Kevin says that rabbits who fail to renew their license get downgraded to 'long-eared rodent', who are considered to be way lower in the Hellworld pecking order (which makes Holbrook's decision to have Kevin's ex-wife transition into a rat yet another way to poo poo on her). Doomykins posted:Seems to be a combination of a desire for respect and an inner demand for victory. He probably could have taken his last big scam winning and retired elsewhere for good. Mämmilä does a great job of showing how old men in power would rather gently caress over each other endlessly because their fragile egos can't handle a little slice of humble pie. It's just too bad that the townspeople are the ones who usually get caught in the crossfire.

There are so so so many things wrong with Kevin and Kell, so let me aim for the fat and easy target: with so, loving SO many interspecies couples, just why the gently caress are K and K important at all? I mean other than they are author favorites, etc.

The Dinette Set is doing you a favor, really. Working Daze doesn't seem to know that is, in fact, the cleaning crew's job.  Super-Fun-Pak Comix reflects on Masters of Orion.  Cul De Sac is making me want to play Shadow of the Collossus.

I mean other than they are author favorites, etc. I think the idea is that Kevin and Kell are the first ever interspecies couple, and they're supposed to be a shining beacon of acceptance and empathy that inspires others to date outside their own species. Except it doesn't work because Kell never even shows remorse for killing prey species, and Kevin's fine letting the murders continue as long as it doesn't affect him and his immediate family. Also ignore the fact that Fiona's mom and dad, as well as Ralph and his dead sheep wife, have beaten K&K to the punch. Why is Ophelia even promising anything? Sad story or not, her boss instantly assumed the worst of her and just did a massive breach of privacy. This whole drama is so stupid.

It hasn't come up a while lot, but Kell apparently changed her hunting behavior after marrying Kevin. Before, she just hunted random people off the street like most Herdthinner employees. Now she goes to The Wild to hunt, targeting people that have explicitly opted out of society.

sweeperbravo posted:this [Rex Morgan arc] is so tiresome It’s so unearned. Genre switches and meta-humor exist only to try to hide that this cast is so flat and boring. Reminds me of a high school essay written by a kid who has nothing to say about the subject, so he just writes a paper about how lame and pointless college essays are and thinks he’s the first to do so.

At least Rex is making an effort instead of doing a multi-week arc about how old people find dogs pleasant. Mary Worth had such a clear and easy to follow formula: find a problem, meddle in it, move on. I can't figure out why they abandoned it.

The one who only had a baby because he badgered her nonstop, and on the condition she never have to raise it, and how shocked he was when she meant it? I mean, how ELSE will we know they are evil? Though Kevin did marry her for some reason.

In the case of the stolen bell an argument could be made that this is an important religious artifact for the people and by stealing it they are being kept in a state of fear and will thus be more dependent on a big strong leader like Cap... but chances are that's not the story for every one of the things in Cap's hoard, so yeah. What's Cap gonna do with a model ship or a naked lady statue? He can't eat it.

Strontium posted:Take It From the Tinkersons I'm so used to smug retail employees in Retail and smug customers in Dustin it's kind of throwing me for a loop to just see a polite retail employee having a polite interaction with a polite customer used as a punchline with no snark. This has also made me realize that Tina's Groove is my favorite comic about a commercial establishment. Because the customers and the employees are the butt of the joke in equal measure, or often not at all, and it's never mean-spirited either way.

Yup, via wikipedia: When the box is activated by turning a knob or pulling a hook, a spring-loaded wheel turns, tapping out a pulsed electrical signal corresponding to the box's number.[1] A receiver at fire headquarters annunciates the pulses through flashing lights or tones, or via a pen recorder, and the box number is matched to a list of box locations.

A bit of correction regarding Kevin & Kell: the title characters are "important" because they were this universe's first publicly out predator-prey couple. Apparently the world doesn't give a poo poo about interspecies breeding, as long as it's between species with the same diet. Case in point, in Classic Kevin & Kell (April 10-14, 2000):      R.L. is worried that it will come out that he's married to Angelique, because it means he will lose the respect of his employees by being married to a prey species. This will be resolved two months of strips later. If you don't want to wait for it: he'll introduce her as a rat at the yearly company pic-nic, and go "rats are omnivores, so they're kinda sorta predators too, so it's okay."
