Either character development since he hangs on to it as a sentimental thing for the person who saved his life. Or scared of the tear and worried what that lion will think.

Or not willing to risk it tearing again.

I can't find where it was given to him -_-

It's way back at the backstory comic I think call "Le familia". It served as a filler/prequal of Gab and his family. It showed how he received his trademark varsity jacket

I found it, thanks! =]

stay in touch and SEND INVITES FOR THE WEDDING!
poor guy, worried for his poor jacket.

Please tell me the final comic strip will be them meeting up again in like 20 years at a party, Wang and Korg are married with adopted kids, Bau and Bort are married and touring the world, Gab found a special someone, Ruff and Voff are starting to grey but they’re still full of energy and life.

That would be THE BEST way to end this legendary comic series

Maybe Ruff and Voff also have kids too so both of them and Wang and Korg can have a family battle for fun

YES

this is how slice of life begins to show the full circle, moving forward we all part but know full well were gonna need to accept and move on with each event that transpires

i miss ruff and voss :( i wonder how they are still couples

Fuck.... that's how it felt when I left Germany 2013.... this brought back a lot of memories

I is the sad

Oh yeah surrrrrre too hot out

I feel like my suspicions from about 2 comics strips ago are true.

About him being scarred over the events in his life when he was younger. I don’t know if it’s true or what the last part of the panel really means, but I just have a hunch. Side note; dose anyone else think Gab looks good in just a T-shirt?

yay!
it's time for my favourite segment yet again: i'm gonna be "that guy"! !!

as, i am positive Professional Tailours exist in this universe.
even if it might cost gab a few pesos to do so, he should be able to get that jacket mended to look brand new
(and i'm sure bau won't care, especially if gab explains bau gab's jacket's significance {if bau doesn't already know it})
that is possible — is it not?

this can also be a potential opportunity to turn a crisis into a boon — gab can end up falling in love with the tailour, or (more realistically) have himself a little "chance encounter" with another customer who happens to be at the venue

I thought Wang's partner was teary eyed! Did not notice the eye mask, silly me.

Awwww. I hope he now has piece.

this dude says goodbye more than anyone i know x.x

You made me cry noooooo

I thought this was about gay silly dogs. Not sad dogs! 😭

Oh... ;-;

sso like is the comic ending

I apologize for the stupid question, but why and where do they fly?
