IS THERE CHRISTMAS IN NEW KINDS!? If not then all the little tiger keidran will go without yarn, the wolves without sticks, the dogs without tennis balls, and the foxes without... whatever it is that foxes like.

Doubtful - all of the "traditional holiday" comics have either been special art days or non-canonical one-off comics...

Hmmmm...probably need to ask Foxlord about what his ilk desire...

Speaking of the four footed non talking variety, they are very catlike in their likes and dislikes. Rubber mice, bouncing balls, tuft of feathers on a string.

Seeing as there is no largely present God to have a son named Jesus and send him to the world to save everybody, my guess is no, they don't have a holiday to celebrate Christ.

However, a festival celebrating the changing seasons, Equinoxes, and Soltice nights is nigh universal, depending on the actual mechanics in 2kinds, there would be something similar.

Probably not, fiction tends not to move over into seperate fiction.

If there were mention of some sort of afterlife, then there may be some sort of similar concept. However, I don't recall any real mentionings of such.

<warning! dry humor voice> doesn't take a belief in the afterlife to celebrate the renewing of the growing season, or the fact that nights are getting shorter.
nigh every agriculture based civilization, no exceptions (that I can think of), celebrated the changing seasons, usually by keeping track of celestial bodies : the sun's cycle and the moon's.

this was what I was trying to get across.
(note: hunter gatherer types would also be watching for the breaking of winter, as that would mean warmer weather and good hunting again, so they'd be watching for solstice night as well).

Probably not Christmas, but maybe something like the one holiday in the comic where they meet Eric... dun know the link, but maybe just holidays that celebrate like so.

You mean the holiday that was coincidentally extremely similar to Thanksgiving?

I'm guessing there's not a christmas but doo agree there might be a 'seasons' change festival, although since they're on the stuffiest of stuffy peoples islands they might not participate.

although tom might make a holiday comic like he used to before his life became hectic.
