Kevin and Kell

Kevin and Kell is a furry comedy webcomic strip by syndicated cartoonist Bill Holbrook. The strip began on September 3, 1995. It is one of the oldest continuously running webcomics. The strip centers on the mixed marriage between a rabbit, Kevin and a grey wolf, Kell Dewclaw. In their society, their major difference is their diet: Kevin is a herbivore and Kell is a carnivore. Their family includes three children: Lindesfarne, a hedgehog adopted from Kevin's first marriage; Rudy, a wolf/fox hybrid born during Kell's first marriage; and their only biological child Coney, a carnivorous rabbit.

Kevin Dewclaw

 * Kell said something about the Hare-Link staff that's very true... everyone is in some way an outsider.
 * November 9, 2002.
 * Remember, sis, as a canine, she can sense fear... and at rock bottom, that's what motivates radical groups...
 * June 23, 2002
 * "Choice" had nothing to do with it, senator. Falling in love with Kell meant being disowned by my family and cast out of rabbit society. No one would "choose" that. But I love her, and I'd do it again!
 * Responding to Senator Angus Steerage's claim that he "chose" to mock the sanctity of marriage, April 16, 2004
 * Kell, you're thinking like a predator. Greed and self-interest aren't the world's only motivations.
 * To Kell, suggesting that revenge was a motive for framing R.L. and Angelique May 30, 2005
 * Technology forces most of our daily interactions to be detached and remote. It's almost as if we're conditioned to accept faceless, distant communication from birth! (the next panel shows Coney sleeping in her crib, the baby monitor shown prominently)
 * Typing on his computer, November 2, 1995
 * Good thing bigots aren't imaginative.
 * About why the homeowner's board never foresaw his marrying Kell, September 4 2005

Kell Dewclaw

 * Crud. I'm already united with all things."
 * After seeing prey of the same species as her husband, step-daughter and niece, in her church retreat, August 8, 2002.
 * Sometimes I think the whole phylum/genus/species thing was created by a political consultant.
 * February 5, 2005
 * Non-domesticated creatures flee when confronted by things beyond their experience.
 * January 30, 2005.
 * Canines can be very territorial... even over father figures.
 * After Kevin realizes that Bruno and Rudy's fight was caused by his tutoring Bruno, March 5, 2003

Rudy Dewclaw

 * And here I'd just grown out of the stage of believing that my sister was an alien from another universe...
 * Upon discovering that Lindesfarne is most likely a human, January 17, 2004
 * How often can you kick tail and feel righteous about it afterwards?
 * November 15, 2003
 * I do know what it's like to make accommodations for love.
 * June 3, 2006

Lindesfarne Dewclaw

 * I told you they were brothers. You don't get this level of willfull contrareity by chance!
 * About Vin and Rudy, June 9, 2002.
 * Hey, you weren't the worst parent in the world... ...Praying mantids devour their young.
 * To Angelique May 31, 2005
 * (thinking) It seems every branch of science is under assault from the current power structure. It reacts to the pursuit of knowledge with hostility and suspicion. (pause, then yells out loud) COOL! I'M A REBEL!
 * November 11, 2005
 * It's less emotionally wrenching to research things 50 billion light years away.
 * Explaining her decision to specialize in astronomy, October 16, 2000
 * Boy, is THAT sign an under-statement!
 * Looking at the "Interspecies Support Group" banner after discovering that she and Danielle are from the human world, February 5, 2004

Danielle Kendall

 * This society is infinitely more fearsome than my old one. So why aren't I scared? ...Especially since now I'm a prey species. I ought to be in a constant panic, yet I'm totally calm. (a predator charges at Danielle, but she jumps, causing it to run into a fire hydrant). Maybe it has to do with being born at the top of the food chain.
 * November 3, 2003
 * I guess that a society can only use one pointless, arbitrary division at a time.
 * March 13, 2005

"Pop Kindle"

 * Now marrying a wolf, THAT'S treason.
 * April 27, 2002.
 * I didn't know you... just my foolhardy idiot son.
 * To Kell, about his betting $10,000 that Kell would eat Kevin, January 7, 2003

Bruno Lupulin

 * During meals, a carnivore's perception of the world is somewhat narrow.
 * February 10, 2003 (as Rudy and Fiona hungrily devour their meat while not noticing his carrot)
 * As if the purpose of school was to learn anything...
 * August 15, 2003

 * To Dale, November 18, 2000
 * Martha Dewclaw: When I was human, my family began losing their instincts. I couldn't bear that... so, well... let's just say I'm glad everything's back to normal!

 * Ray: Everyone's still glad you're dead.
 * September 13, 1999


 * Lindesfarne: Look, you raised me from an infant and then gave me up without a thought. Of course I'm conflicted towards you! Seeing you again has dredged up feelings of love, betrayal, hurt, rage, and occasional shards of forgiveness. It's like... like...
 * Angelique: ... Like you've been torn apart and stitched back together?
 * Lindesfarne: Sheesh! I really AM the bride of Frankenstein! (she appears to be the Bride of Frankenstein, after already having streaks of white in her quills)
 * September 29, 1999

2000

 * Rudy: Sorry, this is even stronger than my domestication.
 * Rudy and Fiona, about Rudy's duel with Vin (Rudy refers to testosterone), May 2, 2000

 * May 12, 2000


 * Rudy: So who'll have custody of you?

 * May 23, 2000


 * Angelique: I think I've always had a rat inside of me, trying to get out. (pause) What?
 * Kevin: That's just a pleasant mental image, that's all.
 * May 31, 2000

 * R.L.: Global conquest, dear, dear... Who wants that headache?
 * Angelique: What was I thinking? Let's make gobs of money instead!
 * January 19, 2001


 * Rudy: I'm running out of plausible ways for them to befoul the environment. For instance, I have them pump carbons into the air, creating a greenhouse effect that floods the land when the ice caps melt!
 * Fiona: And they're not an aquatic species?
 * Rudy: See, it's just not believable.
 * Rudy and Fiona about his "humans" webcomic, July 31, 2001

 * Rudy: I know... they don't have any protective fur!!! THAT's THE JOKE!
 * About Rudy's comic strip, August 2, 2001

 * Rudy: Remember, rabbits go for quantity, not quality.
 * November 27, 2001

 * Concerning whether Ralph should take over Hare-Link, February 6, 2002.


 * Corrie: What about you, Rudy? You're the one who's had a problem with inter-species relationships.
 * Rudy: Yeah, but you've provided me with a valuable gift that I can never repay.
 * Bruno: "The wisdom of acceptance?"
 * Fiona: Material for his comic strip.
 * March 13, 2002


 * Bruno: She's like a stalking beast, pursuing her argument through challenging obstacles! She's like a hungry carnivore, slavering at the chance to rip apart illogical opinions. She's like a vicious predator, with her fangs stuck in an issue, refusing to LET GO!
 * Rudy: Or she's like a ruminant, endlessly chewing her cud.
 * Bruno: It's both.
 * Corrie: WHICH IS MY POINT!!!
 * Concerning Corrie's efforts to be listed as a sheep/wolf in the Species Registry, May 5, 2002


 * Lindesfarne: You and he had different mothers- but the same father!
 * Rudy: NO! MY DAD WAS A GOOD PERSON! HE WAS IN LOVE WITH MOM! HE'D NEVER CHEAT ON HER! IT'S A LIE! IT'S A SLUR! IT'S-
 * (Kell steps into the doorway, having overheard Rudy and Lindesfarne)
 * Kell: ...It's something I hope neither you nor Vin inherited from him.
 * May 19, 2002.


 * Rudy: So who do I turn to now for a moral, ethical male role model?

 * Randy: Hm, that's a tough one.
 * Discussing Randy's infidelity, May 22, 2002.


 * Ralph: No fangs, no claws, no footspeed... they're pathetically defenseless, yet they still eat meat!
 * Martha: What do you call a world of carnivores with such limited predatory abilities?
 * Ralph: "Home."
 * About humans, June 26, 2002


 * Fiona: And you say there was a whole PLANET of those creatures?
 * Ralph: When you don't have fangs and claws, you over-compensate.
 * July 11, 2002


 * Fiona: MOTHER! HOW COULD YOU BUY "THE WILD"? NO ONE OWNS IT!
 * Martha: Ah, it just never occurred to anyone that it could be owned.
 * July 13, 2002


 * Lindesfarne: I was observing those mice to see how long two individuals could live in a confined space before running out of conversation.
 * Rudy: Only you would think of a way of testing marriage.
 * November 22, 2002.


 * Angelique: Well, it's funny. I've done plenty of things worthy of jail time, but in this case i'm innocent!!!
 * Lindesfarne: You didn't overstate the Herd Thinners production?
 * Angelique: No, that's not my style.
 * Lindesfarne: ...You'd actually have had that many victims killed.
 * Angelique: And more! We've been set up!
 * September 24, 2002

2003

 * Pop Kindle: I can't do that to him. I'd like to know there's still innocence in the world. He's living proof that one can find individuals with unsullied decency and faith in people's basic nature!
 * Voice of a police officer: In other words, easy marks.
 * Pop Kindle weighing whether to turn Kevin over to Mr. Castrato, January 11, 2003

 * Fiona: Y'know, I think they actually enjoyed that.
 * Corrie: Their type often does.
 * Corrie thinks: Predators...
 * Fiona thinks: Boys...
 * About Rudy and Bruno's fight, March 3, 2003


 * Rudy: We sure had a lot of resentment and hostility built up.
 * Bruno: Thirteen years of intensely close friendship will do that.
 * March 6, 2003


 * Chet: So, what tipped you off?
 * Kell: ...That you weren't Kevin? Your scent... and the fact that he's so anal retentive, he would have tried to fix the (cartoon profanity) phone!
 * May 4, 2003


 * Kell: But you gave up your own life!
 * Chet: After being beaten by a rabbit, I didn't want it anymore...
 * May 6, 2003


 * Bruno: So you're making a career of screwing up?
 * Rudy: Don't tell any of my teachers. They'll feel vindicated.
 * June 6 2003


 * Danielle: There... was a zillion to one chance that you'd save my life!
 * Kell: Not once you get to know me!
 * June 20, 2003


 * Kevin: I didn't know you were so cunning with regard to personal survival.
 * Ralph: When you're the pack "omega," you have to be.
 * Concerning Ralph's plan to prove his innocence, July 14, 2003


 * Kell:(speaking with an unseen individual) I suspect you're the embezzler. You found an area of untapped value, and aggressively filled it. That's THEFT! (Tree is revealed)
 * Tree: Um, we call it "expanding one's root system."
 * July 18, 2003


 * Bruno: I'll tell you what you did. You removed the myths and misinformation regarding herbivorism ... allowing me to make my own choice!
 * Corrie: Which is what those parents are afraid of.
 * August 15, 2003


 * Coach Pardus: Well, I'm not backing down!
 * Catherine Aura: And I'm not, either!
 * (Pause, Coach Pardus thinks)
 * Coach Pardus: Sometimes, Catherine, I almost think you're a predator.
 * Catherine Aura: Hey, it's just a stereotype that birds fly away at the first sign of danger.
 * August 16, 2003


 * Catherine Aura: That's fraud.
 * Bruno: Yeah, but that parent group is being underhanded by using a technicality against me! Fair's fair!
 * Catherine Aura: ...Spoken like a true herbivore.
 * Bruno: We always use deception for defensive purposes!
 * Regarding Bruno's plan to "prove" he can eat meat, August 18, 2003


 * Fiona: (listening with her Fennec ears) They're dancing in harmony, yet their headsets are playing different tunes.
 * Rudy: To them, that's a marriage.
 * As Kevin and Kell dance, September 30 2003


 * Danielle Kendall: I'm lost! I came from a world where only ONE species can talk and think and work computers and make reality TV shows!
 * George: Unlike ours, where ALL species make them.
 * Danielle Kendall: GET ME OUT OF HERE!
 * October 21, 2003


 * Ralph: I'm sorry! I forgot it was on my site! That was long before I met Martha! But I'm a different person now! The guy who posted that no longer exists! You believe me, don't you?
 * Kevin: You're lucky. I know how women tend to change the guys they marry.
 * George: ...Especially Martha.
 * About the naked photo of Elanor on Ralph's site November 25, 2003.


 * Kell: So Ralph didn't recognize his own mother in that fifty-year-old photo?
 * Kevin: No, which is something a shrink could build a whole career from.
 * November 26, 2003

2004

 * Lindesfarne: Do you er... uh... feel different around me?
 * Fenton: Of course! I'm not the same person I once was. I've been changed in so many ways and I owe it all to you!
 * Fenton thinks: Good job, Fenton! ...Exactly what girls want to hear.
 * Lindesfarne thinks: That's it, I'm leaving.
 * Lindesfarne asking Fenton about whether her presence is causing him to lose his instincts, January 20, 2004


 * Lindesfarne: You seem like a happy family.
 * Tammy: Yes, Ray completes me.
 * Ray: We've found a place where we belong
 * Lindesfarne: That... That's exactly what I'm searching fo- (Fenton crashes through the lighthouse window) FENTON!
 * Tammy: Believe me, girl, you found it long ago.
 * January 22, 2004


 * Lindesfarne: But being the same, you're united in brotherhood! It must be a paradise of universal bonding and peace! (pause as Ki looks uncomfortable) So how bad is it?
 * Ki: At least here you know who your predators are.
 * January 30, 2004


 * Nick: Any name tags?
 * Fenton: No labels... that's the point!
 * At the Interspecies Relationship Group, February 1, 2004


 * Nigel Aura: Whew, and I was afraid we'd become human!
 * Catherine Aura: I TOLD you we'd be this world's most superior life form!
 * As dolphins after going through the portal, February 18, 2004


 * Kell: On that side, are we seen as "unique"?
 * Danielle: Yes, and let's just leave it at that. Like all differences, it seems totally pointless from this perspective.

 * February 29, 2004


 * Lindesfarne: Some students like me are good at math and reading and score high on the S.A.T. But others have talents for music... interpersonal relationships... spatial awareness...
 * Female Goat: Sorry, kid, our function is to reward math and reading skills!
 * Lindesfarne: And what if someone sues you over this bias? Who wins?
 * Male Goat: Lawyers.
 * Female Goat: Again, those with reading skills.
 * At the S.A.T. camp, June 17, 2004


 * Rudy: You herbivores aren't exactly "big picture" types, are you?
 * Bruno: You predators can afford to be. WE have to be practical.
 * Reading the Carnivore and Herbivore cycles of life, June 27, 2004


 * Rudy: But they were still married in the church, right?
 * Lindesfarne: In the eyes of God, but not the state... and the state is a lot less forgiving!
 * April 18, 2004


 * (Fenton and Lindesfarne land)
 * Rudy: Hello, Fenton. I see your flight arrived without losing your luggage.
 * (Lindesfarne knocks Rudy to the ground)
 * Fenton: It actually took me a moment to figure out what he meant.
 * Lindesfarne: That's because you're a gentleman.
 * July 3, 2004


 * Kell thinks: By behaving like this species, I may finally get over my cat prejudice ... becoming more open, friendly, and receptive to new ideas!

 * Kell: You sure? You can blame it on anyone, I won't tell!
 * May 4, 2005


 * Dorothy: Speaking of offspring, any chance of you...?

2006

 * Kell: We do have eggs thrown at our door.
 * Aby: Really??? I haven't seen anything on your porch since I moved in.
 * Kell: Come, look! (Kell leads Aby outside and carries a microscope) You just need a microscope to see them.

 * Kevin: Those who do that are by definition... small.
 * January 15, 2006


 * (Lindesfarne is looking in a bathroom mirror, contemplating her discovery that Professor Antlerhead falsified his results)

 * April 3, 2006


 * Kell: I'd even say it satisfied a deep psychic need.
 * Kevin: To role-play as a prey species?

 * Kevin: Every mother's fantasy! (Rudy tosses something into the garbage can and ignores it as it bounces out)
 * About Kell being the Easter Bunny, April 16, 2006

 * May 17, 2006


 * (Edgar is desperately pursuing his prey)
 * Rhonda:This is absurd. Let me catch it for him, as usual.
 * Lindesfarne: Rhonda, wait. He put a lot of work into learning to hunt. He wants to impress you.
 * (Edgar lunges after the prey, and gets his head stuck in the ground as it retreats into a burrow)

 * (Lindesfarne grits her teeth with her eyes shut)
 * Lindesfarne: Fenton, I don't think I care for your "metaphors for life."
 * August 2, 2006


 * Lindesfarne: Fenton, please! Why do you pull these dangerous stunts?
 * Fenton: I guess, Lindesfarne, because nothing scares me anymore. I've already taken the biggest, most perilous and gut-wrenching risk of all... and survived!
 * Lindesfarne: What?
 * (The two fly through a diamond ring on a jeweler's store sign)
 * Fenton: That time I proposed marriage, and you turned me down!
 * Lindesfarne: I just said to wait until after college!
