For one thing, that fox creeped Aric out. It’s part of why he hastily boarded his half of the bug. Or, if you prefer, his bad boy.
As to Lemmo, I can only theorize that Lemmo is good at reading people but has little concern for reality. As such, when Aric freaks out at a fox, Lemmo would say “Just play it cool.” Likewise, if Aric freaked out about a shoebox or a snail, Lemmo would say, “I’ll grant you, that’s a freaky shoebox/snail.”
If Fergus ate Socks I would work my way into the comic so’s I could eat Fergus in retaliation. I’m pretty sure most people here would agree that that would be the logical course of action.
“He looked back at the bare feet that used to be his home.”
Lol, never looked at it that way, but you’re right, he totally did!

I think people are spelling it “Sox” because: a) it’s the internet and people get lazy. That’s why we have short forms in IMing and texting; b) Sox is a fox…xxxxXXXXX…; c) It’s cuter when you spell it “Sox”.

Wha? Poor sox, All he wanted was a cuddle!
Still successful at cracking me up every single time though, love it.

He looked back at the bare feet that used to be his home.

This is a nice surprise.
Why are they so keen to avoid any contact with Sox anyway? The smell maybe?
April 6th, 2009 at 9:21 am
Awww! Come on, don’t be so hard on poor Sox. :(
April 6th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Is it spelled socks or sox?

I hope sox starts following them again.

I LOVES SOCKS!!!

I think this may be a subtle hint from the authors that while we may be obsessed with the amusing cute thing, they are not as interested….
or maybe I’m just paranoid.
April 7th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too, Boring7. Still returning another character to the cast could be interesting. Ah well, it’s their comic.

But I wanted to see what would happen if Fregus met Socks… who would eat who? (My money is on socks but then again Fregus is pretty darn vicous.)

Persistent world is key for my enjoyment here.
And <3 Sox SO MUCH.
April 8th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
I really do think it’s spelled “Socks” seing as that’s what he is. It makes more sense to just keep the spelling of the thing Socks changed from. :)
April 10th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
IT SOCKS/SOX!!!! <3 ^_^
YAY!!!
April 13th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Pretty sure this is my favorite one so far. A completely everyday experience put into such an absurd context… Comedic genius.
August 30th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
Wow, Renee, I thought you’d be sad about how they totally ignore Socks and they part once again…
December 30th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Seriously, Socks can come home with me.
February 16th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
Poor socks…
..I love foxes!
