"Moral *codes*" is a better way to put it.  They all consider themselves 
the only moral being on Earth, so they each write their own.  Brother 
Iain is the Heart of Satan, and so has a tender spot for animals - at 
least if they show some self-reliance.

Even compared to, say, raising Snoopy as a Zombie Beast of Satan?  8{D>

I left out the expository dialogue at first.  But when I decided to call 
the story "Superhuman World 2012 Annual", I realized it should advance 
the SW12 plot at least *somewhat*.

Well, you can *call* it that, but I doubt it has the same powers as 
them.  And I don't think they'll let it play any Holiday Miracle Pet 
games.  8{C>

Thanks.  Oh, won't it be fun when the Buttocks of Satan take a dump on 
the Looniverse?  (Actually, if you're in the LNH Author's Group you can 
already see what that dump will be like.  I promise it'll be hot and 
steamy!)
