Pants? WHERE!?
What are you talking about?
Alt text
Oh ok. One bad thing about reading comics on your itouch.
No alt text!
Yeah, that would be problematical
I just ran downstairs to my comp just to read the alt text! XD
And that is called devotion
Or obession!!
And it doesn’t help that I got out of my bed too!
I have that same problem on my Droid. Perhaps Froyo will fix it when it comes out.
It seems Alt Text won’t work on many portable devices. It also does not work on my Wii or PSP.
same here. i tried looking at it on my WII it wouldnt work
Maybe there’s a Safari/Chrome/Whatever plugin like Greasemonkey, so you can patch it to move the alt text to a caption.
Or maybe rick can add a button to show the alt text for people with PDAs…
Or just do what Wolf did and bumrush your computer in the middle of the night. I know *I* sit here mashing F5 waiting for it to come out
I like alt text. And glomps.
@psychoJoker36 – Yeah, but you’re psycho.
That is a well kept secret Argent. How did you deduce it?
It’s not alt text, it’s title text. Corrections aside, King is still the …fourth best character, next to Grape, Peanut, and Sasha.
@Psycho – Lateral thinking. I keep my laterals in good shape by jumping to conclusions!
Great exorcising
@Turaiel
I’ll have to argue about that one. That’s why you have to put “arguably” in front of “fourth best”.
Or instead of using a Wii or PSP to surf the web u could just…
BUY A COMPUTER!!!
Ya let’s review what I said” I ran downstairs to my COMPUTER”!!!!
Whoever said we didn’t have a computer?
@Turaiel I do web programming and it’s called alt text not title text
oh and king is the best by far
Confirming it’s called “Alt Text”
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AltText
In this comic,
Alt text = “hey look a pair of pants”
title text = “Hot and Bothered”
I think what Tuariel was trying to say is that he liked the title text better than the alt text
Right there, next to King’s head
I know. I was making a D.S.A.S. joke
I keep forgetting that facetiousness on my part doesn’t translate well over the internet
*pant, pant, pant, pant* don’t *pant* worry, *pant*, we’ll find them, *pant, pant*, when *pant* we *pant* get there! *pant, pant* Just keep running!
*pants*
*khakis*
*jeans*
*Abercrombie*?
Ew, no.
You’re right. Abercrombie stores make me feel dirty because of all the picture of men with their shirts off.
IT”S WEEGEE!!!
You are all weegee now.
Oh, c’mon. That’s just an internet meme, everyone knows those aren’t rea- *Notices weegee looking at him*
*screen goes to weegee*
*screen goes to back to Honorè*
*screen goes to back to weegee*
*screen goes to Honorè with a weegee face*
@Honore-Funny Avi.
*underwear*
*capris*
Turaiel, your avatar brings me sad memories
*dockers*
*slacks*
*khakis*
oh wait, that one was done already lol. um…
*shorts*
*Cargo*
*dookers*
*lederhosen *
Uh, *trousers*?
Heck yea! Kings a ladykiller
this
is truth!
No. Dr. or not, you have NO right to use that. It’s been copywritten
by who?
ReCreate
You can’t copyright a word.
How about trademark it?
Only if you use it in trade.
If Paris Hilton can copywrite “That’s hot”, then ReCreate can copywrite “This” as a standalone statement
She trademarked it. And she uses it in trade.
LOL. “Argh! Shut up Fox! Wait, you mean I’m actually cute now?”
lol
Having all that fur must suck in the summer.
BUT IT’S SO FLUFFY
Quick! Hide the razors!
Razors turn a perfectly cute dog into a not-so-cute dog
DON’T DO IT, FRANK!!!
Or into a poodle.
No matter what the original breed was.
Ew poodle cuts. I don’t even know why people would do that to their dogs. Hell my dog gets annoyed when we thin out her coat.
It’s supposed to help them swim, but modern poodle owners might just happen to be morons
I owned a standard poodle. Smart dog. Gave him a poodle cut once. After looking in the mirror at his new hairdo, he hid under the bed for three days. That was the first and last time that poodle got a poodle cut.
It’s not the fur, it’s the lack of sweat glands.
It seems to me that if dogs really had opposable thumbs, every single lawn sprinkler in the city would be on all summer long. There’s no rolled-up newspaper made that could maintain order.
Bah, that’s what masters are for. Just hand them the hose and they’ll squit you with it. At least that’s what my dog does.
That’s like the telekinesis our cats use. Stare at the door/food bowl/new toy long enough and the humans will get/open it for you.
Well, telekinesis isn’t that effective with me. Ask the cats. So, my dog has learned to just pick the hose up and thrust it into my hand.
It’s the combination of both. And technically dogs/cats can sweat through their paws but it doesn’t really do much, if anything at all. *they make cute imprints on my wood floors though :3*
the cute imprints on my floor are usually made of wet dirt.
fluffy, fluffy, fluffy…
NEED to scritch King under is throat!!!
*cue Celine dions (sp) heart will go on as Sasha skips through the meadows toward King*
Hey, I like the effect of the leaves’ not-all-covering shadow. How did you do it?
With his sheer awesomeness
There’s a preset texture in CS*insert #2~4*
I’d probably do that with another layer that’s darker in color (gray, perhaps) and lower its opacity greatly. That could create the desired effect; the hard part is making it look real with the gaps in the leaves and such.
and always remember to not go overboard ;o it’s similar to highlights in a sense.
Layer is navy blue, actually, with opacity at about 30%. I colored over everything that might be in shadow, locked the transparency and used a white brush that has a leaf pattern to scribble around, then another one to color the blue back in some. Then I took a solid brush and colored in the rest of the shadow underneath the characters.
Another epic explanation of awesomeness by Rick.
*Shakes head in agreement as if he knows what he’s talking about which he really doesn’t*
It’s simple, all you gotta do is connect the flux capacitor to the mesmerglobber and, no wait…
….
Wow
….
Of course, I see it now, but coming up wihth it is the hard part, isn’t it? With all the detail, you can’t really tell it’s solid under the characters.
You…are…awesome!
I agree, its an awsome effect!
Ya summer is only good for BBQing and swimming!
“Honey, did you remember to mow the lawn?”
Maybe…
Ok no! It just too hot mom!!!
stupid CA weather!
If you ever visit Arizona dont go in the summer it gets up to 120 degrees F
Try Houston. Insane heat *and* 99% humidity.
Well now I don’t feel so bad for myself!
Srry guys!
I don’t want to mow the lawn either.
He’s already got Sasha. What else does he need?
I think it hadn’t crossed his mind that Sasha might actually like him
This is probably true. Since he used to be human it probably hadn’t crossed his mind that any of the females in the neighborhood could be attracted to him
… until this moment.
You hear that, King? The ladies might think you’re cute!
Maybe it will…we just have to wait and see how this arc goes.
I’m pretty sure Bino’s got Sasha actually or more likely vice versa. I don’t see Sasha inviting King over for cuddles in the doghouse, sham-pagne and possibily a slow-motion pillow fight.
It’s vice-versa.
also, Sasha slow-motion pillow fight = win.
King x Tarot!
Peanut would not like that lol
It would be good to him. He needs GRAPE!
Truth. Tarot / Peanut / Grape / Max is already a “very strange family”.
Agreed! King and Tarot would actually be an interesting couple too..
Speaking of Tarot, if they played Pridelands in the summer so they were all imagining being African animals adapted to the heat… would they feel as hot?
King and Tarot together…they would be kinda cute.
Well hang on a second, If King takes Tarot, who takes Max?
Statistically, one of the Siamese around the place must be female.
True, but I forsee this kin d of conversation comming out of that.
Max: *ding-dong* Hi! Is Mr. Bigglesworth here? We have a date.
M.B.1: uhh, maybe… just a sec. *shouts* HEY! MAX IS HERE! WHO HAS A DATE WITH HIM?
M.B.2: That’s me. I’ll be ri-
M.B.3: Hey! No! This is the second time you’ve tried to go out with Max behind my back.
M.B.2: No, it’s just the second time you caught me. >:P
M.B.3: WHAT!? *pounce*
*cat fight*
Max: uhh, shouldn’t we do something?
M.B.1: Shh! This is the only form of entertainment we have until it’s our turn with the Pridelands book.
Sasha likes everybody.
“In a world where everyone’s special… nobody’s special.”
AWESOMENESS IDEA!!!
The G.O.D. Club should be held at Bino’s house, then King should trash the place
But wouldn’t that mean he’d trash Maxie’s home as well?
Does king even know max?
I don’t believe so. And judging King (I know I shouldn’t), not knowing someone means not caring
HEY! ONLY GRAPE CAN CALL MAX ‘MAXIE’!!! DON’T MAKE HER GET OUT THE FRYING PAN, ‘CAUSE SHE WILL!!!
I originally had Maxs, but it just doesn’t sound right
Or the broom. You will have “BROOM TO THE FACE!” to deal with
Remember the first story arc of the strip, where Peanut and Grape trashed their own place?
I am never going to remember not to use the “F” word.
My comment’s still awaiting moderation cause of the “F” word.
That word can be quite painful. But yeah they did. With water
Original, initial, primary…
He only get mad when you said first when u have the people comment first and think it would be funny to put “first”.
Right Rick?
Or I might be wrong and he’ll just delete my comment!
You still get thrown into moderation when you use the f-word.
I think Rick needs to take that out, and just slap people around when they use it.
Yup.
Which is why I talked to Rick, and he said he’ll take “first” off the filter. Don’t know if he’s already gotten it, or if he’s gonna get to it soon.
But the moment you all start abusing your new-found “first” word privileges…I’m warning you! XP
Yay free use of the word first!
Dog spelled backwards is God. Good Ol’ Dogs in abbreviation is also G.O.D. Coincidence?
I’m occasionally tempted to worship Coyote.
The second one was preemptively Jossed. The first one is a possibility. Though at least subconsciously I find the idea of a guy born human dating a dog kind of squicky.
Either option will take the comic into uncharted waters for Housepets. Either King will woo Sasha away from Bino. Or, Fox, well, ya ‘know. I hope it’s the first one!
Option one has a very strong chance. Option two has no chance whatsoever. I’d even go as far as to say it has negative chance.
Which option? What were you trying to reply to?
I meant King could woo Sasha away from Bino, but wooing Fox is a no-no. Rick would never allow that. He said it himself, I believe.
Ooooh. Okay, so I have to say this for the second time. Ahem:
“For future readers, ctcmjh was replying to a comment that was, shall we say, way off the mark, so it was deleted. ctcmjh himself is not suggesting anything.”
Thanks Frank!
he’s a rep-saver.
I like this comic for many reasons:
1. King is back in a story.
2. There is more canine traits to the characters (I was beginning to wonder if dogs ever get sweaty or pant when its hot.)
3. Love the details in this comic. (i.e. the shadow effect under the trees.)
Looking forward to this new story. *Puts thumb up*
More canine traits? You mean something like this?
http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff100/fv00038.htm
Yeesshh.
I mean sure they are “anthropomorphic”
But their still dogs and cats.
Showing us their Canine/Feline aspects is just darn cute!
I’ve got this sudden image of dog ladies trying to sniff at King’s butt.
Cute.
Not what I’d call cute…
his total embarrassment would be
King BSOD FTW
Was that “yeessh” as in “uh, yeah” or as in “God, talk about going off-topic!”?
Yeesshh as in Yes >_<
She still hasn’t got that under control. Quite.
http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1900/fc01894.htm
Just as long as the housepets don’t sniff butts…
Oh, but they do!
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/12/14/that-sinking-feeling/
Plus the end of “All the Kings Men part 1″.
Well, yeah, but I’m only allowed one link per post, so I went with the one I thought was funnier and more to the point
Agreed on the detail, this may be one of the first times I can SEE humidity.
Wait you mean fox was… WHAT?! 0.o
That’s what i got.
Misconceptions, they are a bit more… interesting on Housepets.
Your avatar is so awesome that I almost cried.
Why is everyone JUST NOW noticing my avvie? Thanks, btw.
I noticed it when you changed it, because you changed it right after you said you didn’t. It scares me.
For future readers, rWolf was replying to a comment that was, shall we say, way off the mark, so it was deleted. rWolf himself is not suggesting anything.
Ya. Im not crazy or anything!!!
Or am i?
Yay!! New arc! And it’s about King looking for love, (and the King of Hearts fans rejoice)
Lady Killer, qu’est-ce que c’est. Ba-ba-ba baa ba-ba-ba baa baa. (Only because there are too many songs called “lady killer” that I cannot remember)
And… you had to remember the one with French sheep in it?
Hey, I never question my brain after so many hours of sleep deprivation. That’s when the [b]really[/b] weird thoughts happen.
Yay King romance!
wouldn’t that make it a royal romance?
oh, the royal pain!
He’s drawing to a royal blush.
casino royale ensues
And wacky hijinks!
the puns!
YES! The two best ever characters ever EVER!
Silly pun!
And King arcs are always great
I know how King feels. The summers in Houston are TERRIBLE! You’re outside for 5min. and you’re already SOAKING with sweat because of the darn humidity. Not only that, but the wasps, ants, bees, etc. are EVERYWHERE. I was mowing my yard today and I got like 40 ant bites and yesterday I got stung right between the eye’s by a wasp. It’s not a total loss though. More bugs the more fun I have.
Air Freshener + Lighter= Bug massacre!
Houston is nothing. Try being in 105F/95% humidity. That’s taiwan in the summer for you. -~-
You poor soul. That must REALLY suck.
Good thing I live in SoCal. Haven’t been to taiwan for… 6 years.
Try livin in East DE where it’s 99 on a HOT day. Yeah
@psycho
And… Not really getting a clear message. I know detroit can be cold but I can stand cold more than hot. Give me 5C over 40C anyday.
I was acting as though 99 was hot compared to what everyone else was saying
ah v__v I should probably sleep more than 3 hours lol.
I know. What is that, like two jokes you’ve missed so far?
3, one on a forum. Totally went *swoosh*
ah so i see there is another who complains about Socal Weather. XD
This past weekend I put up trellises for morning glories, dug two holes for trees, cut down overhanging branches (so, wait, why am I planting MORE trees?), and cleared brush. In Houston. Had to do it in bursts, ducking inside for A/C and sodas in between.
Coming into the office is like a vacation.
Why? Maybe you like the shade. More shade means you’ll be cooler when you plant the next tree. It’s a virtuous cycle!
It’s hard *puff puff* to remember *puff puff* the shade *puff puff* when you’re standing there *puff puff* sawing at a branch *puff puff* with a tree trimmer *puff puff* at full extension.
?
Ferrets don’t pant?
“Ferrets do not normally pant; by the time you see a ferret panting, it is in serious heat distress and in danger of heatstroke.”
Yeah I know and technically they can sweat through their paws.
Bah, commented on the wrong comment. lol
Don’t sweat it.
That made me lol.
hehe lol
Air Freshener + Lighter= Freeze! Put your weapon down and get on the ground!
Probably being stupid but this ridiculous ad came to mind after reading this comic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nys0i_FRjTI
Probably because pets really don’t wear pants in HP! universe.
*HATES that commercial..but sees u’r point* lol
Ha-HA!!! King got stuck on that matter that won’t mean any good for King shippers. >XD
From this point it’s towards the awkward world of dogylove for a human mind and I know I’ll be hated for this, but I still say King has nothing to do with girlis here any more than being friends.
Course if our dear author thinks differently as long as he builds up the right story for it I’ll be fine with it. :3
The panting thing is cute, but come ON “Pair of pants.”?! XD
*flames Gaboris*
FWA-KWOOOM!
Ha-HA! My special abbility “Substitute my own reality” negates your attack. X3
Now for my “Brainstorming” attack. X3 (FEAR ME I’LL BREAK YOUR SOULS! XD)
So possible outcomes here:
a) King says somethin dumb like in All the king’s men http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/03/27/all-the-kings-men/
Let’s say “With a dog? Don’ be st…” Then comes the quick questioning what he’s talkin aboot and to hide it he starts laughing hysterically and says somethin like “I love Sahsa for example.” in the end. BUT THEN comes the turn and Bino stand right behind him lookin ready to kill! XD
b) King says nothin just gets embarrassed and they start talkin about how he’s not good with women and the such and the arc may go around how he get’s involved in all cute and/or embarrassing situations with the female dogs and in the end it can end in two other ways again:
b.1) (Cuz of all you shippers) He accepts his fate as a dog and gets together with Sasha and in the end as someone already said way back Pete get’s his past erased from his mind and done. (Not so bad I’d accept it in a while.)
b.2) He still belives in returning back into a human and only gets closer to the others and gets to be an even better man than so far. In the end again as someone said he’ll get turned back and somehow ends up saving Sasha from her mean owner and live happily together. (That would be nice. :3)
I know I’m makin too much of a fuss here, but I can’t take my own brain spinning cuz of all these possible lines… XP
PS: The story is none of my business only our dear author has to do with it I’m just blabbering here. XD
Ur being gary stue again.
I like to play ya know. X3
I like to play dirty ya know. X3
a) would be funny, but b.1) or b.2) would be better.
b1 or b2 are good vitamins for K+S shippers
b1 would be murder, as far as I’m concerned
YAAAY Someone who understands me. X3
murder, huh?
Mindwipe is murder.
King wouldn’t miss his memories; and Pete could shove some fake ones in if he wanted.
Of course he wouldn’t miss them. He’d be dead, with someone else walking around inside his body.
Oooh… wow that’s a deep thought and yeah I may understand your point Argent… I just don’ like to go into these things so deep. XP
Okay, now I see your point, Argent.
Good to hear ya guys liked these ideas, but these are just the most obvious lines, ya know our dear author can have WAY more up his sleeves. X3
King seems to have come with at least some automatic canine instincts, or he wouldn’t have been able to talk, walk, or wag his tail without major retraining.
I think we’re gonna see more BSODs.
BSOD? What’s that again?
True-true, but since he still wanted to act as a human at home he’s still a human with a dog’s body and motoric functions. But I still understand your point.
BSOD stands for “Blue Screen of Death”. It’s the name given to the infamous Windows 95 error message that filled the whole screen to say: “An error has occurred. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart your computer (you will lose any unsaved data in all programs that are running)” and the Windows NT memory dump screen.
It has since been extended to mean any error screen in general, and any moment when the “system” crashes (yes, the brain is a system)
Oh that right, sorry always mixes me up. XD
And yeah after “Intelligent systems” class in collage I know as much myself. X3
*gasps* oh wait, that’s Systems, not Sashas…nvm lol
Heh almost got ya fooled ay Dr? X3
lol. I would love to take a class on HP!
Don’t forget, Pete reprogrammed him to the point where he can’t even *say* “Joel” any more.
Pete broke King? I hope he got the extended warranty.
Yeah that’s what I said, but since he didn’ make him ACT as a dog by himself then that means inside he’s still human. :3
And when this all gets into conflict … brain crash.
System error right? XD
Why ya hating pants, Gaboris?
Nothin realy but that pun (still not sure what that means just an idea that I’m using it right now) was a bit too much even for me… Still had a laugh on it so no prob. X3
A real lady killer huh? hmmm
That would be good for your avatar, right?
I highly doubt King is going to be able to land any cuties that would have been of interest to Joel’s previous taste in the fairer gender although maybe he could help Pete land a lady. Top Gear showed a cute puppy is more likely to get you a girl than a brand-new Aston-Martin DB9 Volante convertible.
On the other hand he’s admittedly better at being a dog than a PETA member given that he does seem to enjoy the taste of meat (first offal now good old American BBQ). Maybe he hooks up with Daisy?
That might be what happens. Although I’m hoping for something else.
Daisy’s probably still rich.
If King does hook up with Daisy, does that mean she’ll actually get to say other things “on camera”?
She’s obviously got a great personality!
This is going to be SO good…
The cuteness of them doggies panting… eeeeee!!!!
You mean squee?
And, this.
Even if this arc is just those two talking under a tree for a month, with King and Fox this arc will be absolutely epic. In fact, that’d be pretty cool :3 Simplicity is beautiful
Do you think Fox licks his finger before turning the page in his book?
Good Question. Maybe, i think so, his tongue is hanging out anyway.
You do realize it’s possible to note someone having an appearance others would find appealing without the one noting it finding that same appeal, yes?
Good grief, that looks like a grammatical train wreck of a sentence… but I hope what I meant is clear.
I understood it.
Here’s a translation:
There’s a difference between “You’re attractive.” and “I’m attracted to you.”
Some fail to recognize that.
Gezz King! Stop frowning. Your face will freeze in that position if you don’t.
Then no lady dog will be interested in you (oh wait. He’s a transformed Human… EWE!!!).
I just had this weird feeling about King and…
I count 4 pair, does that mean they’re getting all gussied up?
Cute avatar!
Agreed. What animal is it?
Bunny.
http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/imagebuzz/web02/2009/5/10/18/hedgehog-doesnt-trust-bunny-14375-1241994631-20.jpg
They gotta stick their tongues out the side like that because of their big front teeth.
I was hoping for something more specific. I mean, its ears are a little short. Though if you say that’s just because it’s not old enough yet, I’ll take your word for it.
Oh, there’s a zillion different varieties of bunnies, we’ll have to wait for Shnurui to fill in teh details.
uhh King the ladykiller hahaha
They should all go swimming!
Yes they should.
Yaaaay! Beach time!
That would be a nice picture. Too bad I can’t draw lol.
Ladykiller?!?! Have King finally come to the doggy side???
*nudge nudge* *wink wink*
Come to the Dog Side. We have biscuits.
You win the Internets.
How do we know you’re not lying like that other side was about the cookies?
You’ll have to come to our side to find out
*Sees how King is doing after joining the Dog Side*
Thanks but no thanks on that front.
Stick with the Human Side. We have KFC.
We have Ferretone.
*pokes at dog side*
Nope sry,
Already on the Wolf side
We have venison.
Tasty venison.
Heh. Guy I know in SL has a deer avatar. Goes around with a label over his head that reads “Tasty Venison”.
hmm, King is starting to notice he IS a pretty boy, after all…
Y’know, I’ve been hoping that King hooked up with that chick he hung out with on the sidewalk.
Names escape me at the moment, though. The one who just had a birthday. You know.
Sasha her name is Sasha
*WHO TOUCH MY SASHA?!*
I have no idea. *doesn’t realize he’s still holding Sasha*
Sasha?
And it was Valentines Day, not her birthday; it just “takes her about this long to get sort through them all”
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/05/10/give-a-dog-a-bone/
I was tired when I wrote my post (I hadn’t gone to bed yet and it was 5:30am) and didn’t feel like flipping back to find out her name, so sue me. =P
But, yeah, her. The guy she’s with (Bino?) is kind of a jerk to most people. Then again, Sasha also left him hanging to be around his brother…
Anyway, yeah. King and Sasha.
Sasha’s so adorable!
she’s sweet incarnate. Her pink eyes are irresistible. Plus, she makes you want to protect her from the world.
pink eyes mean you’re albino
they are irresistible none-the-less
Her pink eyes look cute.
oh king, you naive little dog.
How do you see the alt text? I don’t see it anywhere ;-;
Just hover your mouse over the comic itself.
This is probably the part where the king fans go crazy, right?
*jumps around and does the moon dance*
YAY!
Uh, yeah, pretty much.
the alt text is “hey look a pair of pants”.
This looks like a job for EMERGENCY PANTS!
OK, what kind of animals would Torg, Riff, and Zoe be?
(no camels, if Zoe was a camel then turning into a camel would just be shupid)
King a looker in dog terms? He should be worried
King is quite a looker. The ladies should be all over him by now.
yes. another king arc
*holds up her dog* She’s a poodle, she’s fat, and she snorts like a pig. But you can have her if you want, King.
Or you can have Sasha. Whichever.
Pick Sasha!
HA! King’s awesome….. cute ^^
King looks so cute when he pants XD
yep ^^
I e-mailed rick to make a king arc and here it is i dont know if he responded or if he already had this planned. who knows
he already planned it. In fact, he had to let it OUT of a series of arcs that were to be voted by the fans, once, otherwise this arc would have immediately uberwon. This way instead, we got ‘The Present’ arc and some SASHA!!!
Sasha and King is win.
*nods savagely*
I wonder what would happen in the future IF, and thats a big IF, King got transferred to the big screen. but its just a thought.
“Ok, dolly back, wide shot, we’ll zoom in on the BSOD later…”
eew drool…
What? I totally don’t pant when it’s hot.
*shifty looks*
XD
King: so you’re saying I’m hot?
Fox: yes. we’ve established that. several times.
Badum *tish*
epic avv fox-cub-bold ^^
2nd panel King looks cute with the canine teeth sticking out.
he’s all cuteness.
Luv the way his lower canines curve his tongue in panel 3
Sandra will be fine. I’m guessing King probably installed air-con in the super-kennel he bought her.
I MEANT SASHA! gawd D: Just finished reading Sandra and Woo.
“Ladykiller”? Lol, looks like he’s getting convinced that not all this sucks.
Is anyone else having trouble with the reply button?
I am not. Ha. I am awesome. I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!! to reply to comments
Ha! I have. The power. To reply to your comments. Also.
I need the power to reply to my comments too.
Oh look, I do ^^
Lol taking an intrest are we king?
Okay, Now I a King fan.
I hate Summer 2. XD
Ohnowigetit!!!
A pair of pants!
BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I agree with Fox, King is very handsome ^_^
I agree with Fox:
King is very handsome! ^^
I love how many comments this strip gets. I think it may have something to do with a certain adorable-Corgi-that-was-originally-a-human-named-Joel-but-is-now-named-King.
I lol’d
….Wait, what?
put on your sunday clothes for the world out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What King would say if he was actually happy!
How many female dogs are out there, anyway? Sasha, “Hi! I’m” Daisy, Tarot… and who else?
A couple of the generic neighborhood dogs in group scenes like at Bino’s welcome back party looked female.

So is Fox’s cousin but she lives in Kansas and is unlikely to appear in this arc.

Perhaps a new girl for King?
Peanuts reference third panel.
He really had no idea how adorable he was, did he? Being formerly human the dating scene will mean nothing but awkwardness.
I find it notable that the real reason he took an interest in Sasha, kept her company Xmas eve, got her a house with heat and insulation, is because she reminded him of his own pets’ abused situation as a child. He wanted to make sure history didn’t repeat itself so he did whatever he could to improve her life. Sasha is a chance to redeem himself, in his own eyes, if no one else’s (like Pete’s). There’s really no romantic attraction at all. He’s a bit like House with paws, actually. Forever hobbled by a misdiagnosis, he swears to right the wrongs and prevent his own story from happening again, but with a permanent negative outlook on life and everything…
That comparsion is a little off the wall…and yet it actually works really well. Bravo.
Well done. Got it right on the first try!
Give the [human/dog] a prize!
Hot and bothered? Does no one else think the title is a little…oh nvm
>Complaining about heat
>It’s hot
>King is referred to as a ladykiller
>Ladykiller is used to describe attractiveness
>Hot can also be used to describe attractiveness
Wait, what
MUAHAHAHAHA!
..wait, what?
Comments are broken again!
If they get fixed later: my comment was supposed to be below Argent’s “welcome to the dark side of the comments”
There’s about seventeen other cans of worms you’re opening, once you get into “but they can talk, so they’re just small fuzzy people, but they’re emotionally kids…” so let’s not go there.
Yeah, I know, that’s why I limited it to just the paradox King would likely find himself in if he tried to date. Undoubtedly, though, Rick will have something humorous for us.
Housepets is PG. It’s all about the cuddling. And slow-motion pillow fights.
Just a thought… how do they make it slow-motion?
Natural feline reflexes.
I’m surprised this comment’s still standing right now.
It no longer is, so be suprised no more!
Fish!
-2=X
wrong spot supposed to go in Argent’s coment
King really needs to get over his issues with the police dogs. They were, after all, only doing thier jobs when he got pounced by one with a bit more eagerness than sense.
Also, much hilarity will ensue if Fox tries to hook poor King up!
Sounds like a plan to me!
on those kind of hot summer days there only one thing to do.(dramaitic pause) sleep for the rest of the morning.
I always wondered ever since king showed up how he would react to this situation I guess we’ll find out.
Out of curiosity when are you going to update the cast page?
Ha ha ha, another natural instinct used here! What’s next? Howling???
That was meant to be a reply to Argent’s comment.
Okay this is getting annoying…
This is the floating reply problem Frank explained two strips back.
I don’t like it.
I wonder if we can overcome the nesting limit this way?
nesting limit?
If you have too many replies to replies you can’t reply to a reply any more, you have to reply to the reply that the reply you’re replying to is a reply to.
Nine
wait what?
Fish.
No. You used some form of “reply” nine times. It was supposed to reply to you
Performance art.
Wow! you guys.
Wait what!?!?!? >_<
Welcome to the dark side of the comments.
Thanks, now where’s my oreo’s?
There’s an address tattooed on the back of a young mother’s belly.
Wouldn’t that mean the tattoo’s inside her?
Yup. Weren’t you there some years ago? Oh, man, don’t tell me you missed it!
That leads to an old condemned warehouse on Ivy and Blaine
Where caches of our enemies weapons sit crated and rusty
Eagerly waiting a chance to be used in our name
The floatiness of these comments is moderately irritating
And this is the shield
That protects their machinery
And these are the halls
Where their juggernauts bait
And these are the blades
That will shred us to vapor
And if that were all
Then right now we’d be storming the gate
ahhhhhhhhhh. D:
