This is basically my viewpoint. I just can't like King, I can't connect to him in any way.

I guess more of the fact that he is just.....unlikeable. Maybe because he was a convict, or maybe because he's always so crabby, but I can't just give him any of the sympathy that his situation should be able to garner.

No idea what that means. No need to explain though. I am an idiot with computers right now, so I'll figure it out with the power of google.

Well considering that King is the number one character in all of Housepets, I won't be surprised if comments reach over 9,000+. (Okay, Okay, looks like I over exaggerating here..)
Back on topic, today's comic strip is just silly. But I like it. xD.

More about King you say? Possible King of Hearts tease so you can torment shippers of Grapenut and King of Hearts alike? :cry:

I don't dislike King, but I definitely think he's overrated.

Besides, King can be silly sometimes! Heck, he can get sunglasses from nowhere! And wear them at night!

I'm also not a fan of King, but he's important character in comic, because he's different than other characters ;) In every comic there must be a character that you can only love it or hate it ;)

I never really expected anyone to adore King at all, except for the contingent that likes transformation stories. Which seems to be pretty big sometimes.

You made him far to cute for that to happen Rick. You should have picked a different breed of Dog for him to be, that might have worked.

What I like about King isn't just the transformation but the unique, three-dimensional personality he was given. I THOUGHT he was just going to be a jerk and unlikable when I first read the comic, but I was wrong.

Oh, and this current comic? Admit it, you only did it to explore different expressions of Peanut's face. :P :lol: But I love it! :D

I'm with IceKitsune, at least in terms of my subjective opinion. I KNOW that every character has SOMETHING of a fanbase, but I personally am not a fan of every character.

Everything depends on personal preferences, as IceKitsune said. Some I like very much, some just a little and some are indifferent for me.

King = too darn cute to NOT be likable!

When I first saw the headshots though, I thought of some weird comic where Rick brought Peanut and Grape to Reality and he was using them for a magazine cover...knowing of course this is non-canon AND non-sensical! But hey, a furry can dream right?

I like King. I don't love him, but I like him....

Okay I love him. He is my third favorite character, but I love him because of the possibilities he brings to any given situation. That and it is great to see him being punished by the universe.

I like King because he brings a fresh perspective to everything, you know, because hes not a normal pet.

Also, i love this one off because of the avatar posibilities! (and the cuteness :3)

ditto for me it lets him have completely different stories then the rest of the cast. Same with the Wolves as well. And IMO Sabrina, and Tarot (even if I'm not personally a Tarot fan at all.) have that potential as well because of the whole magic/supernatural aspect. And Fido too because hes a police dog and what not.

Meh, Bino and Max are both frustrating... Interesing how similar their personalities are since they live together.... We should blame their parents for their issues like psychiatrists do...

Therefore using deductive reasoning, Jake is the only unlikeable character in this comic
