Makes the whole "sidekick" concept sorta plausible.

Pleased.

One point though: absolutely everything in there more or less could be explained by really radical gene-splicing .

I dunno if this has ever been discussed as such but...it seems to me it'd be possible to describe TOTQ as taking place somewhere between the year 3000AD and 5,000AD. In that scenario, the Rac'oonan would be genetically engineered by some misfit humans sometime between roughly 50 to 500 years from ou...

I didn't say I was a customer!

Jeez, stuff went on so crazy over there, you didn't need to be to catch sight of stuff you want to scrub outta yer brain with a spatula.

Last time I saw pussy that scary, it was in San Francisco's red light district trolling for Johns.

Ralph ol' son, that's HYSTERICAL.

Cool, he fixed it.

Ralph, a question: do you want us to point out glitches like this for the reasons I stated? Or is it more annoying than helpful?

Well if you mean noticing the fact that TOTQ hasn't visually changed over time, I probably wouldn't have caught that except I got hooked on Schlock about 8 months ago and went through the whole archive. Compare recent: http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20050213.html ...with stuff from early 2001: ht...

GOLLUM!

Jeez!

A "Golem" is a Jewish Frankenstein's monster, sorta...

I mention it for this reason: if you look at the whole series, Ralph has done an unbelievably good job keeping the "style" of all aspects of it the same. Across years! That's not easy. He didn't manage that with Nip'n'Tuck fr'instance, and other web-cartoonists have done far worse - follow "Schlock ...

First is a typo, the word "LEAT" instead of "LEAD"?

No biggie.

The other is...well...what happened to our favorite Coonian's tail-wrap on the way down the rope? Bit of a continuity problem...

Whatever you do, don't put it on an electrical power cell.

You'll get arrested.

Sure!

Salt'n'battery.

Ya just can't DO that!

This one glider my friend had, his favorite toy was a pair of ping-pong paddles wrapped in old carpet. When it saw those it got REAL excited. Two people could separate about 40 feet. You hold the paddle up and it would run up on it for launch. You flip it across the room, and the other person would ...

The funniest name I ever heard for a sugar glider was "Facehugger" - because that's exactly how it tended to land on people .

I had a friend with a sugar glider. Now THAT was cute as hell :). It became known as the "Mall Marauder". She'd be walking around with it on her shoulder, it would spot and smell somebody's frozen yogurt on a cone and launch straight at it. Unerring aim out to about 30 feet...somebody would end up w...

No, it was another pet.

One of mine met a rabbit once, at the park. It was funny as hell because the ferret clearly knew there was something "interesting" about it, and he was gently checking it out, holding it's floppy ears with his paws, patting it's cottontail, not using his teeth AT ALL and being very gentle...but the ...

Oh heck.

Yeah, you're right. I've got the post-Jerusalem-fall thing (Masada) mixed up with the earlier issue.

Sigh.

And about 1/10th the brainpower :). Sorry. But it IS true. Ok...just one more story :). Not long after my brother moved in with me, one of his two girls was up to her usual tricks. She had this..."foot thing". She liked to nibble on your feet :). Not hard, but still annoying. Esp. when you're asleep...

Well the problem is, a big dog like that couldn't be trusted with a baby ferret. You'd have to VERY carefully supervise. You'd do better to get an adult ferret, but one that was still young and frisky, AND that was properly raised. Not easy to find...there's a lot of "neglect cases" in ferret shelte...
