I'm a new reader of PiTW, and I must say that its an interesting comic- however I find the pseudoscience behind the whole thing quite a bit more interesting than the actual comic (don't shoot me- unless its with silver. That stuff is worth quite a bit
)
Now, lets get down to business: A few queries...
1. One question thats been bugging me is the list of were- species in the omake. From my impression of the series (and most pop culture about were- species) it seems inevitable that humans could be hybridized with just about anything, from bacteria (ok, unlikely, but still...) to blue whales.
So why stop at canine/ feline species and... sharks? There's a whole lot of other mammalian species that the list
didn't mention and which would be more logical (to me at least) than sharks (not mammals). If thats the full list, and Kris is dead- set on keeping it that way, I'll drop the issue, but please tell me that the possibility of other were- species at least occurred...
I'll leave this point for now.
2. Has there ever been a comprehensive comparison of the physical characteristics of each species' were- forms? Logic would dictate, for example, that werefoxes would be superhumanly intelligent, wererats would have stomachs of iron (extreme omnivores) and werelions would be even stronger/ larger than werewolves, barring exceptions like Peter and Sarah (why are the main characters everywhere always exceptions, anyway?). Has anyone ever discussed the relative merits/ disadvantages of each were- form in detail? I know other threads have wandered into the territory, but there hasn't been a discussion or official material devoted to this matter as yet.
3. How are interspecies relationships between the were communities in Genericville besides the 'well documented' wolves & rats? Dr. Abe I know is close to the Genericville pack, but how about others?
