They are animals, except when they're not.

This.

I don't have a problem with this. It's a fantasy world. It has its own rules.

It's a fantasy world. It has its own rules.

If one of the rules is that it doesn't have to make sense because it's a fantasy world, that's when I start looking for new free entertainment.

Compare the early Philippe is Standing On It era cast to the current characters. They used to be stuffed animals who live in the Onstad house getting up to secret mischief while the humans were away. Then suddenly Cornelius had a long and illustrious history, and Philippe was five instead of retarded, and Ray didn't have an owner.

I can understand continuity frustrations hurting your investment in the characters and situations of the strip, but if Paul was serious he would have bailed a long time ago.

So Airwolf is cat-sized but Jan Michael Vincent could fit inside? What is going on here

I'm not talking about continuity, I'm talking about logic.  And that Airwolf strip makes perfect sense.  I can suspend disbelief so that Ray can stumble upon a secret ebay for billionaires.  And so, if that exist, why wouldn't they have Airwolf?

That Airwolf strip makes way more sense than the current one.  Can you explain why it cost millions of dollars to send a kid home to see his mother?  Why do you need to hire a special escort and driver and a special slopless whatever toilet?  Why not just hire a limo?  Why not just buy a car and take him yourself?  Or as someone else pointed out, if it were actually expensive for some reason Ray could have paid for this at any time and if it were in his best interest he would have, he loves the kid.  Why are they leaving at six in the morning?  It's a private charter, you can schedule it to arrive after breakfast.  The GPS and ankle bracelet make sense though.  If you're going to send a kid off with a stranger that seems like a good safeguard.

philippe's mom's got mad debt, yo. it's dangerous enough on the road anyway and when you're a stuffed otter you got to worry about a feral dog or a cat carrying you away for to tear off your eyes followed by disembowling

[Doc]

Ok, so here's my idea: Normally when we see our cats driving around they are in the underground or similar and can just do their things, but long distances involve travelling on human roads, for short spurts a Husk might do it but longer hauls need a sophisticated artifice so that humans don't see a trans am full of alive stuffed animals and freak the fuck out.

[wombat]

Doc's idea is a good one. My idea was, it's that the cats are like humans, in the underground, but an otter is still an animal. And what they are doing is exactly what you do to transport a wild animal. Even the leaving early in the morning thing. He has obviously researched this.

Now, why Ray hasn't just paid for it is a different question. But there are a million possible answers and maybe we will get one of them along the way.

They all flew to Berlin once.  A squirrel flew the plane.  Why are we troubled by anything at this point?

[Lister]

Yeah!  And what about Scarecrow's brain?

[dejavroom]

My only biff so far is with T's line "He can finally go home now that he has enough money", with Ray being around and all. Everything else, I'm just riding along with it. Riding along with the hearse to the cemetery of comic strips (kidding, don't make mad faces at me).

christ people you are overanalyzing a plate of beans again

[theinevitable]

I guess it's kind of like how every once in a while, I have to look at your avatar to make sure it's still moving, and hasn't started doing something else than what it has always done.

[Chump Change]

It's never even occurred to Ray that Philippe has a mother.

It's never even occurred to Ray that Philippe has a mother.

Vlad, on the other hand, is extremely aware of that fact.
