LegendaryLycanthrope and Indagare - This page and the next four contain answers to questions you had asked. As always, thanks for being curious, as well as for reading and liking my webcomic.
Yes, indeed! How I Met Your Mother fan, I'm guessing. I tilted my head at reading "papa" as I just finished a page which has the word "papa" on it. Perhaps you can guess who says it. :) (Not Talbot.)
I should stop assuming things. ;) It's a sitcom from 2005 to 2014, and yes, both of those are regular lines/catchphrases from the show. No guess as to who will say "Papa"?
i would say darkfang, but he doesn't seem the type....no, actually, he DOES seem the type - i bet under that tough exterior, he's really a puppy just looking for affection
I certainly do know about Lycaon, but as of yet there are no plans to include a reference. Why? Since my focus tends to be on benevolent werewolves, the references have been 'wolves in pop culutre and more so alleged actual history that are tied to friendly, non-threatening werewolves. There are some exceptions from films that just worked too well such as using La Tour for the winding main road through town, and naming their concert stage after Kessler [who actually fits the bill anyway being a reluctant and remorseful 'wolf]. Lycaon had done some unsavory things, and therefore didn't make the cut. The way I see it, Lycaon -is- a myth, as per his source material. The Greek gods don't really exist, and therefore are not part of the actual history within the comic that utilizes such real events as the Werewolf Trials. For the same reason of slanting toward nice 'wolves, I don't as of yet have a reference to Peter Stumpp/Stumpf/Stubbe. Riqurélio would just as soon have such 'wolves forgotten.
as the progenitor of werewolves (until an earlier mention is uncovered) he should still be referenced somewhere, even if a warning against succumbing to feral or distasteful urges
and who's to say he actually did any of those unsavory things? all records pertaining to him were written by humans - of course they'd want to demonize werewolves whenever possible - except when they can't, like with theiss
Well, just saying he's independently wealthy's too easy. Didn't want him a complete moocher from his parents (and they didn't want him to be either ;] ). Lottery winner's too cliché. Didn't want him to have amassed a fortune from an invention or royalties or something or the sort either. So it seemed the best option for him to have dabbled into to be able to remain a wolf as he desired and not have to venture into a cubicle or the like. Of course, in Wolverton he'll have to do 9 to 5 stuff soon enough. But then, cost of living in town is cheap and he won't get bored in a single job.
Both true. Perhaps he will. Though they don't use Man Money all that much. The citizens, that is. Anything they need to get from the human world for the town, Riqurélio's treasure has plenty to use. Not that Riqurélio couldn't extend it to the citizens, and in fact once upon a time he did. But along came Loup Garou and they filled that niche. Since Riqurélio likes teamwork, it all worked out nicely.
Okay, I wasn't sure. As you know, I'm always curious about those aspects of world building that tend to be a bit off track. Even if he doesn't I wonder if his skills with stocks can be translated into anything in Wolverton.
Off the wall question (no, I don't expect to see this, I'm just curious what you think): what would happen to a 'wolf either exposed to a piece of the moon or a 'wolf astronaut that landed on it?
I'll give it some thought (Talbot as a 'Wolf of Wall Street') and see if anything can come of it. :)
Fun question. Before I formulated the comic from my drawings, I actually had werewolves on the moon as a possible picture to make. But I never got around to it (as with many on the list) before I began focusing on Wolverton. I don't expect it to come up either. But in my version/world of werewolves, if the human were not already in wolf form they'd change automatically and immediately without control or consent. If already a 'wolf, they'd remain unchanged - however they would not be able to revert to a human form at will as long as they remained exposed. (No, I haven't worked out what distance away they'd have to be from a chunk of the moon to regain control.) I guess they have to be careful when visiting the National Air and Space Museum or the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. :D
Heh, if you ever need a dream sequence, you could always go for zany 'wolf adventures on the moon. ;-) It's cool, it's unlikely they'd be visiting either, but your thoughts are much appreciated. :-)
if it isn't 'challenge accepted', it's 'hold my beer, i got this'
and who's to say he actually did any of those unsavory things? all records pertaining to him were written by humans - of course they'd want to demonize werewolves whenever possible - except when they can't, like with theiss
lycaon had nothing to do with the word
The Greek for 'wolf' is 'lykos' and Lycaon's (also spelled 'Lykaon') name meaning is the same, so lycanthropy can also refer back to Lycaon.
You can view it as the Ancient Greek version of Remus Lupin or any other thematically named werewolf.
I think you missed the obvious: he's a wolf of Wall Street :-P
(Also if he's still able to do that he could probably help earn "man money" for the town.)

Besides, "The Werewolf of Wall Street" has a certain ring to it and could make an interesting film or book. :-)
