    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?

  4. Reader

    Awww! Come on, don’t be so hard on poor Sox. :(

  5. nuclearwhale

    Is it spelled socks or sox?

    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.”

    I hope sox starts following them again.

    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.

    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.)

    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.

    Persistent world is key for my enjoyment here.

    And <3 Sox SO MUCH.

    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. :)

    IT SOCKS/SOX!!!! <3 ^_^

    YAY!!!

  16. MBizzle

    Pretty sure this is my favorite one so far. A completely everyday experience put into such an absurd context… Comedic genius.

  17. Daniel

    Wow, Renee, I thought you’d be sad about how they totally ignore Socks and they part once again…

  18. Puck

    Seriously, Socks can come home with me.

  19. Evan

    Poor socks…

    ..I love foxes!

    “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!

    @Jon

    “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. :)”

    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”.
