This page may be justly considered "way too long". - Fennec 19:25, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)

This article is very impressive. An excellent summary of Kevin and Kell. - TGIF

Great summary of Kevin and Kell. - AbsalomDaak

Essentially an advertisement. Wetman 18:27, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

No more so than any of the other articles on webcomics or other, more commercial works (books, films, etc). nifboy 1:10 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The paragraph before Rabbit's Revenge should be after that section, otherwise George marries Danielle before ever meeting her. - Nat.

I was surprised to see the link http://herdthinners.pvxhost.com/ was deleted as spam. Kevin and Kell's main website is down at the moment and that is the only mirror working. For details, checks Lidesfarne's blog: http://harelink.biz/serendipity/index.php?/archives/54-TECHNICAL-DIFFICULTIES.html

I'm sorry I jumped into that conclusion. It was an anonymous edit that changed a major link in the article. Please consider making an account and logging in. :) --- Ekevu (talk) 15:10, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

I've noticed that the debate over this article's length has come up again. I set aside the characters section to reduce the article's length, but I'd like to address claims made about the length, given that the article has been tagged for being allegedly "overly long, confusing, or ambiguous".

• Firstly, the series has been going on for over ten years. Additionally, at least once a month on average, there is a series that is worth some note, whether having an impact on the plot, or revealing something significant about the characters. Additionally, many series build on each other and are interdependent; in the Jerry Springer Spaniel series, Jerry attempts to convince Kell to eat Kevin by mentioning his prior online relationship with Deathpaw, and results in Kevin losing his insurance (leading to another story in which Rudy exposes his own domestication, part of another plotline).

• Secondly, the plot summary is not especially long on its own. For example, Sluggy Freelance (which has not been tagged) has a comparably long plot summary.

• Lastly, it is not entirely accurate to refer to it as based only on "direct observation of the comic". The article incorporates work such as the Unofficial FAQ and Lindesfarne's blog. Furthermore, parts such as the character, trivia and error sections require- and feature- not only relating what happens, but how it is important. For example, Pastor Worcestershire's seemingly casual "How is the uh, marriage going" actually says a considerable amount about what he thinks about interspecies relationships (he disapproves of them, but less vocally than some do).

I thus conclude that the current length of the article is justifiable with the characters section split into its own page. Ralkarna 02:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] R.L. not a wolf

R.L.'s predecessor was a wolf, but R.L. is not. I forget what he is, so I don't want to change it without being sure. I think he may be a wolverine. --Coyoty 16:03, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

(From the Unofficial K&K FAQ) here: http://kevinandkell.com/about/faq.html

2.10 ) Who is R.L.?

R.L. was Kell's boss at HerdThinners, Inc. He may be a wolf; he's only seen as fangs and hands. He :is 'fifty-ish'. While he is an adept manager and savage predator, he is not particularly :computer-literate. He is another secret sufferer from Domestication, a malady and secret that he :shares with Kell and Rudy. His predecessor at HerdThinners was named 'L.D.'. R.L. is married to :Angelique, Kevin's ex.

The strip seems to imply that he is some sort of canine (Angelique has him on a leash in one strip, and threatens to punish him with a rolled-up newspaper), but his species has never explicitly been revealed. Ralkarna 02:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paring down article size

I think we should spinoff the Kevin and Kell timeline onto its own article, and condense the timeline in this article itself. --Kitch 15:20, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. • Ekevu • ♥ • ★ 20:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

It wouldn't hurt to break a "kevin and kell minor characters" article off of this one. Kail Ceannai 22:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Corrie Dewclaw

She sometimes uses Ralph's wolfskin to disguise as a wolf, which resulted in her being registered as a wolf-cub, and people thinking that she was Ralph's daughter, although they did not know that. I'm not quite sure what this means. Could it be corrected?

That has been clarified. What was meant was that she went to meet "Redfang" (Rudy) disguised as a wolf cub, and was registered as one when Fiona noticed that she wasn't on the species registry. They then think that she is Ralph's daughter because she smells like him. Ralkarna 02:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
