I doubt Fido saw Joey get kicked out. I mean, even if he's kinda a pushover, I doubt he'd let his brother be abused like that. Also, I think Fido called King a pup since he's so small and adorable.

And did anyone notice how buff King didn't look?

If he was doing exactly what Bino was doing (and remember as far as Fido knows it really is Binos watch hes only doing something because Sabrina told him otherwise/threatened him) no I really wouldn't try to stop him because he wouldn't listen to me anyway (he is an adult just so you know) and its not like he would be hurting anyone (now if he was then I would stop him but that's a different matter all together) if he was doing exactly what Bino is, plus I wouldn't really care all that much either because I try not to get involved in petty stuff like this.
Essentially. If the only thing I can do to stop him from doing what he's doing is to almost hurt him (Such as by tackling or wrestling to the ground), then it's not worth it for either of us.

I really can't contain my excitement at this arc. So much going on, so much drama! So much speculation as well!

There Fixed it for you because not everyone hates characters like that or for that reason.

Pretty much this. There is no use talking to anyone who is self-centered. Its all about this "me me me" mentality. But closer still, it doesn't excuse what Fido is doing. Sabrina actually forced him to take action, even though I not surprised. She is good at manipulating Fido.

Personally, I await King becoming a human again. I know that will spark outrage, but I don't personally get the King love myself. But given that people go nuts over him, I can sort of understand why he's in so many arcs, even if I think there's other characters which could be expanded on.

I just find him adorable. That and his personality reminds me of myself. At least, my personality while not on the internet...

I'd be sad if he went back to being Joel, but willing to deal with it.

That it's a gang in which the meaniest guy can do whatever he want cuz it's his little bro? Do I take it that Fido would've intervened if it had been another dog instead of Bino playing the bully? That Fido's ethics are bound by kin? Or rather by the meanest kin? (helloo? Joey ill-treated?)
Bino mistreats and annoys everyone, even his owner. We have not a bit of proof that Fido mistreats Joey.

I would too, if there's some way he wouldn't be on the run for the REST OF HIS LIFE! :| King or Joel, I just want him to be safe.

You are totally right, I won't disagree with your analysis... But this just came out of the blue, at a critical moment. Everyone was thinking that Fido was not around, because no one among us would've thought he'd actually be...like this, not now! I see this sudden development as a serious narrative flaw, because so far no one, and I dare you to say otherwise, suspected Fido could be so...un-Fido.
I wouldn't call it a narrative flaw. we were never certain if Fido was the perfect dog to begin with or not as the community saw him as. I still have thoughts that Rick might make Fido turn out to be a better dog in the future though, but we were never guaranteed he was flawless =3

As for King: I don't mind King from a human/pet view, but if he has to go he has to go. I even wonder if another corgi showed up if it would matter >.> I'm sure Rick learned by now just how hard it is for people to turn away from his art. <_< >_>

Now I dislike Tarot (mostly because she has the personality of a wet paper bag and for a few other reason I've stated before) but if she is going to stick around I think she really needs an Arc.

Val, you have a somewhat bad habit of -reading into things-

Joel is at -best- putting up with life as a dog. He's been friendly to Sasha. He deals with a lot of crap living with the wolves. But where in what arc has it ever been revealed that he's working towards any sort of 'redemption'? Nowhere. I think people who see him being friends with Fox and taking care of Sasha are reading into way too much.

She's kinda funny looking, and is like a worser version of Sabrina. Also, Peanut doesn't seem like the kind of guy to have a girlfriend (saying he's too young/immature, NOTHING ELSE).

Ok, let's say I used an improper phrasing and that 'redemption is a big word'. Still, he's making progresses. And he DID throw the watch in the trash. If I'm wrong, what would you call it? DO you have an opinion or do you like to pick on my own?

To decide what he's going to do with his life? This arc isn't over yet and I don't read into characters without enough of a background to draw off of. But what has been shown so far is he hasn't decided if he wants to be dog or human but a boon is coming to change this (GK said as much)

So, what was done to Joey can be easily ignored? And Also that Bino ORDERED HIS MINIONS to hold King can also be ignored? In my family nobody does ill to another(wheter we are adults or no) without consequences. Besides, isn't Fido a K-9? ins't what both King AND Bino doing fellonies? I know King s doing it for the sake of his very existence, but Fido doesn' t know it...yet. five minutes with Sabrina shold be enough to enlight him.

But Peanut himself has made it clear he does want a girlfriend. His reasons for first seeking Grape were likely due in part to the fact that he knows her best, but though oneshots and arcs, he's developing just as strong of a relationship with Tarot.

And Tarot's a Pom. Poms are as funny looking as Corgis.

It's not publicly released.

And there's nothing saying it won't come up in the comic, given that it sets the stage for the history and 'How things work' in the Housepets world.

Judging by what HAS been revealed of his life as Joel, as well as the current predicament "Joel" would be in if he was ever found by the civilized world, he would do WELL to consider that decision VERY CAREFULLY. I had hoped, after the rather despair laced ending to Christmas 2009 (without the epilogue), that Rick intends for something meaningful and rewarding. And yes, he is due at least one more reward. But that is at the end of the game. Even with Pete detained, might that still go on?

King is a third (now second) player, so he's most definitely in the game and waiting for his reward at the end of the run.

I swear he said that nothing reveled in the book will have any impact on the comic and that's why it won't matter if you read it or not.

Unless Ricky gave you major spoilers containing some weird plot twists you cannot afirm that either, sir. As far as the fans, who read the updates of three strips per week (sometimes we are treated with double strips), know about this comic, King is slowly (a bit too much for my taste, but I still like it) redemting for his past actions and learning that being a dog isn't all that bad, but he's facing problems like everyone else(maybe more than an avarege person would due his secret).
And I kinda agree with what was said above. I know the following statement isn't the absolute truth, but it's what I'm seeing here:
dislike Bino = Like King
Dislike King = Like Bino

I thought the first already happened? That was moving in with the pack.

Or is there something I've missed? Haven't been reading the arc, after all.

Again, I ask you. How is Joel, adjusting to a life as a short stubby tailed dog and dealing with being a failed avatar in a U&U game earning 'redemption'?

Your also putting words into peoples mouths. Disliking King does not mean you Like Bino. But I don't hate Bino ether because we don't know enough about him, only the face shown.

Well, being fan means discussing. You seem to take everything at face value, I don't, sue me.
I believe that Joel is making progresses. And that, in his specifical case, progresses is part of his redemption. You don't? Sue me.

I don't know I don't really know you that well I mean you could just be that much of a Jerk (though I doubt it) But I'm going to assume you don't then.

I think you should read better because I said this wasn't absolute. ;)
as for the redemption part, Pete was stated as a Jerk, not evil. Sure he wanted to use King as an avatar, but who said he didn't want to help him either, otherwise, why pick him of all people? This is what I take my theory from:

Dislike King = Like Bino
Absolutes like that are just part of the oversimplification people are doing. "I like King, and therefore characters who don't like him are irredeemably evil and those who don't help him are stupid." Blech. I'm not a fan of either of them as a person, but I think they're both pretty good as characters.

Again, I ask you. How is Joel, adjusting to a life as a short stubby tailed dog and dealing with being a failed avatar in a U&U game earning 'redemption'?

Your also putting words into peoples mouths. Disliking King does not mean you Like Bino. But I don't hate Bino ether because we don't know enough about him, only the face shown.
I think you should read better because I said this wasn't absolute. ;)
as for the redemption part, Pete was stated as a Jerk, not evil. Sure he wanted to use King as an avatar, but who said he didn't want to help him either, otherwise, why pick him of all people? This is what I take my theory from:

And Foxstar, please stop double posting. edit your comments, please.
-Don't mini mod. I'm not double posting.

Pete's a jerk, but there's not enough run off of that says his changing Joel into King was in any way to help him. Jerks tend to do things that please them, even if it offends or disrupts the lives of other beings. Pete could have just picked Joel for sheer kicks.

I know you said it wasn't absolute. I should have said "That would be putting words into peoples mouths."
