    I really hope they talk Renard out of leaving. Yeah, he may bear some of the blame for the New War, but he’s also accepted that responsibility, and he would like to make it right if there’s a way he can.

      Hm. I agree.

      Renard wants penance, does he? How about a nice session of puppet therapy?!

        Penance is one thing, but I don’t think torture is really necessary.

          Just how bad *is* Gary, Indiana?

            That depends…. do you have a lisp?

            I was referring to the therapy puppets.

            To be fair, Mayor Lori Lightfoot has successfully brought Chicago to the point that Chicago is about as good a town as Gary and Mayor Wheeler seems to have done the same for Portland. Such was Gary’s reputation in the part of Indiana where I went to college and I have seen little in the current events of the past 40 years to undermine that image.

        The point of penance is that, where possible, it should put right the thing that’s wrong. Working for Skin Horse seems like it might do that—in theory at least.

      Me, too. I would like to see Renard become part of the SH team.

        Hard to say. I don’t think it’s ever been said what Renard did to get tossed in the Transgenic League’s Cavern.

          I’m betting on some kind of financial malfeasance.

        At the very least, he should be their financial backer. It’s how he got in this situation in the first place, after all. Might as well use it for good(ish).

    At least Renard found an outfit that fit.

      Indeed. What he is wearing is a definite improvement.

        It had to be a challenge to find/alter a pair of jeans with a big poofy-tail hole in the back. I’m thinking if I were an anthropomorphic animal I’d either just go without lower body attire a-la Donald Duck or else take the kilt path. Partly b/c pants would be such a pain and partly to leave my most odorous bits free for familiarity sniffing and territory marking. (Sweetheart doesn’t seem to go for these, but knowing me I’m pretty sure I’d be embracing that part of my animal heritage.)

          Barking Monkey: He has taken the no-pants approach before (such as in http://skin-horse.com/comic/we-offer/), but he’s also worked out how to put a silver jumpsuit on without trapping his tail.

      Thank all the gods he got rid of the silver lame jumpsuit. A bipedal sapient fox? Fine. A bipedal sapient fox who dresses like a cross between Elvis and a horrible 80s rocker? TACKY, TACKY, KILL KILL KILL.

      Let’s have some perspective here. All he did was aid and abet a megalomaniac in starting a war that, if they lose, will likely result in the destruction of most if not all NHSs in the US. Does that really deserve Detroit?

        Having watched the short film, “A Fistful of Yen” on YouTube recently, I am forced to disagree…

    Renard is going to Gary so he can join a group of urban rodents who atone for their past mis-deeds by preparing delicious circular baked goods and giving them to the poor and needy. That’s right, he’s going to become one of the Pie Rats of Penance!

    I’ll let myself out now…

      That pun was bad enough to have come from Stephan Pastis himself.

      Wonderful. Now Mustachio will break out his Edison Cylinders, and Hittie will move Annex One to Gilbert and Sullivan dance numbers

    Sweetheart is probably thinking “Gary Indiana, what a treat to himself!”

      She may like Cleveland, Ohio more than is entirely healthy, but Sweetheart’s not a _pervert_.

        Sweetheart was pretty fond of Akron, too.

    Chicago’s now worse! (Thank you Mayor Lightfoot)
