Edgar and his socks...Did his parents give them to him, or is he just fond of it?

his mom gave him even though he really only had one pair of socks XD.

Now I can't help but think to one Jeff Dunham sketch where he asked a puppet (Peanut) if he lost a shoe.

Peanut: "No man, I found one!" XD

So he doesn't have a hole in all his socks? Ohhhhhhh...

Classic trick and they they gets screwed , them losers ^_^"

RIP socks

Uh since they’re anthromorphic wouldn’t this “fox hunt “ be considered attempted murder?

It would be "attempted war".

France and England had been enemies for decades (centuries, even) at the time of the French Revolution. In fact, France heavily bankrolled the American revolution (and even sent soldiers) as it was a good opportunity to be a pain in the butt to Britain at the time.

While during La Terreure (the neck-chopping part of the French revolution which eventually produced Napoleon) there was not big-battle fighting between France and England, on a very local level the troops wouldn't pass up an opportunity to share lead with the enemy if they had the chance. Also, remember that throughout Europe, monarchies like Britain were terrified that the ideas of the French Revolution would spread to their own countries, leading to their own aristocracies having a date with the executioner. Commoners and ordinary soldiers also saw how quickly France turned into a self-inflicted bloodbath and thought it would be the same in their own countries.

So yeah, it's very believable that Redcoats (regular British army at about that time) wouldn't pass up a chance to take a shot at a Frenchman, particularly one that might be seen as some sort of leader or supporter of the French revolution. Why would they think Edgar was one such? Well, obviously wealthy from his clothes, but hadn't been executed, so probably a supporter and promoter of revolution. England hadn't forgotten that not so many years ago that France had supported American rebellion, so why wouldn't they support a populist rebellion too?

woa you managed to sum up a great history timeline :0 *clap clap, I really love all historical content, and although I make some mistakes (mostly on the uniforms) I love writing stuff about.

Also, Britain had seen its own share of revolution in the 1640s and 1680s (with the former sending King Charles I in for the chop, same as Louis XVI over a century later), and between that and a number of Jacobite risings earlier in the 18th century (further opportunities for France to give Britain the diplomatic bras d’honneur, in spirit if nothing else), they had plenty of local bloodshed in relatively recent memory to compare the sansculottes’ continental depredations with unfavourably.

The English Civil War was more of a spat between Parliament and the Crown about the extent of how much power the king had (which probably wouldn't have happened had Charlie I hadn't been, by all accounts, a narcissistic douche). It really was the aftermath where things got spicy for a bit, namely a very short period where England was a republic, followed by a short bit of dictatorship, Cromwell going from Hero to outright Villain (least we forget he was a douche in a different way). Followed by the system which still more or less stands to this day. The Jacobite rebellion (aside from the being the last war really fought on British soil) was another total mess caused by a lot of hot sticky politics, I'm not even going there.

What I'm saying is that all likelihood the English civil war, possibly did head off a similar situation over here to what happened in France later. Why? Well the biggest issue was reform of how much control the crown had over its people, where in France that didn't really happen (at least to my understanding). Oh and lets face it the France had been a brewing powder keg of discontent due to its social structure for a while (the whole mess with the estates), and it only took a poor quality king and bankrupting the country (Ironically caused by getting one over on the British by bankrolling the American Revolution), for it all to hit boiling point.

Where the rich over here worried about it? Oh for sure, but the large mechanisms to launch such a revolt just weren't there (namely the kings power was effectively neutered thanks to the civil war), and the people had parenterally representation (more or less). Where do you go from there? Last time we attempted a republic we just got Cromwell. Like a car without wheels any idea about people doing the same wasn't going anywhere.

Probably also helped that what amounted to the 'media' back then was also, much like it is today, run by rich conservative types who where quick to paint the revolutionaries in France as a bunch of barbarians. When you look at what some of the British press even today, it make you really think about how little has changed depressingly.

I see, so essentially it’s like a war between different species ?

Well, between different archetypes of species (as we've seen in previous drawings).

Foxhound, Scottish terrier, harrier (or beagle)

And fox hunting is heavily associated with English aristocracy. Notable though: red foxes are native throughout Europe (including the British Isles).

Well he at least can say he socked it them.

I don't get why he mentions to 'avoid confusion'... He got himself out of there alive cause of it!

It really got confusing, but there is a comic that explains it better, the redcoats were chasing him for a reason too.

Owh which one? :O

Not only do they not catch the French chap, that coverless soldier's going to be put on report for improper wear of uniform and/or loss of equipment (Tricorn, one wear of).

And none of are getting their rum rations tonight.

Joseph has an excuse to see Edgar's sexy chest

When it comes to Fox Hunting, the British Upper Class don't mess around. He's lucky to be alive.

Cool comic! I really like your creativity! And also your fox avatar!

Whoever's the commanding officer of those soldiers. Is going to be furious.
I'm imagining something like this going on after he escapes.
