The basis for my theory:

If we developed warp drive, genetic manipulation, and transporter tech, I’d reckon even before that we’d first figure out how to make dogs live for hundreds of years. Because that’s easier and of course we would.

I’ve seen people post that it must have been like Porthos v9 because of the time difference, but there’s no way that dog didn’t outlive Archer by decades, because if we’re going to do anything good as a species, it will be making sure our dogs outlive us.

So Scotty lost the OG Porthos.

    This is excellent! Thanks for taking the time to share. It bothered me that the quality of the Guide to Housecat Colors and Patterns is too poor to read who the original artist is. I spent some time finding Joumana Medlej (https://majnouna.com/), the original artist, who has an extensive catalogue of work documented on their website.

    I cannot find the housecat colors image in higher quality on Joumana’s site. My speculation is it’s included in the Artist’s Guide to Cats eBook on gumroad. I noticed the previews on cerdarseed, searched that site, and found a much higher quality version. While it’s fully readable in that small viewport the site owner is trying to prevent folks from downloading the image directly.

    It seems they’re loading the image from cerdarseed.com/tuts/catcol#.jpg (where # represent numbers 1-8) and stitching it together on the loaded page. I think that’s an interesting technical choice worth noting.
