'How much trouble' tends to be asking for trouble.

Poor Charlie. No pizza. Unless a certain raccoon shows up.

A strange question: is there a town clock with a moon face? While they probably can use the PAW to keep track of moon phases and such, early on it wouldn't have existed and a clock that was visible to everyone would be super helpful. Not that the moon phases are particularly hard to keep track of, but it seems like a good idea. Even beyond the functionality it could be beautiful.

Sorry if this spoils it for you, but no, the puppies do behave themselves.
There's no "moon clock" in town. The PAW will have access, sure. But 'wolves also receive a printed calendar with every stage of the moon for each month. It's shown on page 82 among the stuff in the Welcome Packet. Some things from older times don't go away. :)

It's not really a spoiler, it's just a common trope that when someone asks something like that, they usually get an answer.

It's cool. I wasn't sure as that seems like the sort of thing a town of werewolves might have.

LegendaryLycanthrope it just me or do the second and fourth pups from the left look kind of like a mini talbot and charlie, respectively? the talbot minime has a similar fur color and snout shape, and the charlie one also has a similar fur color and also has the same type and color of hat, and is even wearing it the same way

i know they aren't, of least in talbot's case, unless he has something he'd like to share with the class, but the similarity still struck me

It doesn't help that the Charlie look-alike has the same sad look.

Just coincidences, nothing to be "read into" or gleaned from them. I did however make Chip and Charlie in the same position on purpose - I liked the parallel.

i assume chip is the pup with the hat? what are the other pup's names?

or are we going to find those out tonight? well, tomorrow technically

Yes, the cap wearing pup is Chip. Their names will all be on the next page. However, they've already been named in the comic on page 153. :)

I love the fact that despite being a small town, Wolverton has a tram.

In the metropolitan area I live in, we have light rail, bus, and "commuter rail"(heavy rail).

It snows here only every 3-5 years, which means our streets turn into fucktard fairways, and the light rail and bus services go to hell. Only commuter rail runs on time, but there only one underused line.

We need a tram system like Wolverton's!

Glad you like it, Kevin_Redcro! Yeah, it's pretty special. The idea for it came partly from not wanting to draw buses and cars. And partly from the famous monorail episode of The Simpsons. Also because I live in Chicago, so elevated trains leapt to mind. Thanks for sharing, and thanks a bunch for reading and commenting!
