Fido is on the front lines, of course. He would never stay back and take control from relative safety. He is a field commander at heart!

Great strip! I like the new name. I wonder what names the other cubs came up with?And if the cubs are in charge, then either they had an argument and are using the other housepets as their minions, or the ferrets are involved with the cats. Has to be! Maybe...

What is in store for Zach now? I hope he does not become a wolf snack!

haha what a great strip tonight and I absolutely love Rockstar hawk's as a name I hope he keeps it (although I am pretty sure Miles and Lucretia don't much care for it)

so... Bino was overthrown by... one of Miles' cubs? I can't even say just how painful that real sounds to me...

Come to think about it that must be completely pride obliterating... Poor Bino. [/color]

I love how he looks in the third panel. Totally sinister.

Followed by looking goofy in the fourth.

We don't know if Bino was ever leading the dogs in the first place.

The former leader of the dogs was Sasha under the call sign "Hawk". After her ostensible defection to the cats, Space Laser was stranded on enemy turf and had to defeat her in a final duel in a field of white flowers. He returned to the dog-controlled area where he was due to his victory over Hawk awarded with the call sign "Rockstar Hawk" and supreme command over the dog forces, which he used ever since to fulfill Hawk's last wish of creating a world where dog soldiers are honored and not just treated as tools of the dog war machinery.

A true hero, I salute to him.

Well, this was rather unexpected. Why do the dogs recognize HIM as the leader? It's been Fido all this time. He is just a cub and is still the leader of all the dogs in Babylon Gardens....

Whoever the old leader was, Rockstar Hawk is awemazing.

Fido may be the leader of the GODC, but that doesn't mean he led the water balloon army!

So, Boris and Yeltsin. Somebody liked the wild days of 90s Russian anarcho-capitalism a bit too much.

And cub he may be, he's still a wolf! And, that cub's got some fire in him...

Though, I bet he'll try to throw a balloon, and the eyepatch with wreck his depth perception. XD

Anyone participating in a water balloon war isn't likely to have a fire for long! *giggles*

Aww, Rockstar Hawk needs a step to reach the podium. ^_^

Also, the eyepatch fits him perfectly.

I think this calls into question the legitimacy of Joey's interests in being a cat.

no. he's feeding them false information. HE'S the triple agent.

I love his tag. "CAT." *giggles*

But that works because he'd be a triple agent for the cats, not the dogs, so Zach can still be a triple agent for the dogs.

Okay, shouldn't Grape KNOW that's Joey?

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 12:06 am

Wait didn’t Joey say that the cats already knew about the disguise? (ignoring that Peanut told Grape about it which I think Joey doesn’t know about) Why in the world would he do this, is he stupid or just not even care? Also why hasn’t Grape just kicked him out already?

Edit: The only thing I can think of is that Joey is a Triple Agent for the Cats its the only way this is not completely stupid on every level

Edit 2: Ok after thinking about this for a bit it all comes down to if he joined the Cats as Joey; (which would make sense for him being a double agent, though I question why he is wearing the suit its the middle of summer) or if he is trying to pass him self off as a "Cat" (which I believe is what the comic is indicating that he did) which would be really stupid for the reasons I stated above.

Edit 3: Ignore me.

I am wrong this whole time I thought all the cats knew it was Joey in the suit. I'm stupid

Anyway I can't wait to see what Grape does with this info this should be loads of fun.

I didn't notice that. that's awesome.

copper · Post by **copper** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 12:07 am

Yes! Joey's back in the catsuit! I love Grape's face.

So just because he is a wolf, huh? Interesting.

I bet they convinced Tiger to join the cats. He is more of a risk on their side than on the cat's side anyway...

I see the strategy board, but what does it mean? What is the cat's ultimate goal? I must know...

Get used to disappointment. (Sorry, had to pull out the Princess Bride reference)

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 12:09 am

Gotta love how Joey is still considered a cat to the others. Grape certainly ain't amused =3

Man, the humor if they discovered he was a double agent.

...And i know the cats don't like getting wet... but why does that map make me think the whole purpose of this war is for someone to get dibs on someone's backyard pool? XD

okay

His catsuit looks a lot better now! He's been working hard on it.

Kondog · Post by **Kondog** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 12:38 am

So Wolves make natural leaders huh?- interesting- and its been ages sense we've seen joey and his catsuit - Awesome I am glad it still fits

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 12:44 am

Well, his middle name is Leadership...

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 1:38 am

It's true, we make great leaders.

We have the Greek letters to prove it!

Aquablast · Post by **Aquablast** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 3:31 am

I wonder where did the cats get those neat cat and dog figurines? *Giggles*

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:47 am

Why would they let Joey get near them in the first place? Grape knows his secret!

Kyderra · Post by **Kyderra** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 5:02 am

because now they can trick him in giving the wrong information.

That's actually not a bad idea. Maybe they'll really do that.

I wonder if the cats have a spy...... if they do, it's either Peanut or Fido!!!

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:06 am

If the cats do have one it would most likely be Peanut I can't see Fido taking the chance of ruining his reputation in the Dog community by doing something like that. Unless maybe Sabrina asked him of course.

Edit: Also I have a pretty good feeling that either Joey is working as a Triple agent for the Cats or Grape will convince him to do so (by threatening him with reveling who he is in the suit or a beating that could also work.)

Karl · Post by **Karl** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:54 am

Joey proves once again how awesome character he is

Buckdida · Post by **Buckdida** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 12:50 pm

And it seems that the cats are seizing a water source, backed by artillery fire. IF THEIR ARTILLERY WERE ATTACKED, THEIR ASSAULT FORCES WILL BE DOOMED. I hope there isn't any information leaks...

Wait a moment...

*Dresses up Joey as the Engineer*

THAT ENGINEER IS A SPY
