Rook:
i’m going to bet that the next strip goes like this.

Bailey – “Here you go cutie!”
King – “Fahbwa…gwabwall…ssaa”
Bailey – “Huh, bit low on brains isnt he?”
Fox – “Actually i think he likes you…a lot”.
Bailey – *makes a smitten face* “Oh, well if he ever recovers tell him that i’d love to howl with him sometime” *Leaves*
King – *Eyes stretch even wider*
Fox – “What I tell you, you got one good looking face…”

I can see that being worked into a comic. Even if it is a bit racy.

Aoogah! Humuhnuh-humunuh.

Your assuming that Rick is worried that some folks getting mad and no longer reading the comic would stop him in any way from telling a story the way he wants to tell it. Housepets did alright before King and it would do alright without King.

I wouldn't get mad and stop reading. The only way I'd stop reading is if for some reason house pets started to be less intriguing then it is.

doesn't look racy to me. King did ask Tarot to howl with him before.

I like KIngs(not as much as the creepy shipping crowd but I'm still a fan)
but it seems awefully petty to quit reading a comic because the author didn't bend the story to your whims.

They still could since Grape did give him permission to be mushy with her. You never know the story isn't over yet.

I love King arcs. They have the best embarrassing moments throughout the comic. I can't wait to see the awkward situations. I'm eagerly waiting for the next comic. King and Bailey interacting is going to be hilarious. I can't wait to see King's face get red again.

I enjoy the discomfort of King a little too much.

Awfully optimistic, aren't we? The latter part is true though.

Yeah, that would be stupid.

That's why the fanfiction are there for. So you can create your own stories based on the comic. xD.

Until Rick says its not going to happen or the comic ends there is still a chance. I think its a better chance then most people think but that could just be the shipper in me talking.

Although speaking of Grape and peanut, we haven't seen them since September.

Not complaining its just i noticed that a minute or two ago.

Posted: **Thu Nov 17, 2011 3:15 pm**

Oh wow, I never noticed that. I'm sure we'll see them closer to Christmas time. The cuteness is far more than Rick is capable of passing up!

Rick did say on his Google+ that there will be no more long arcs Until December ("Okay that is it, no more long arcs . . . until December" is the direct quote), so maybe it will focus on the two of them (or one of them anyway) since its been a while. At least I'm sure they will get a one off or two (maybe not together) soon.

Actually so you guys don't get your hopes up despite having no input (AGAIN) I'll just say that I'm not going to focus on Peanut/Grape again until January. But you guys will LOVE what I have planned.

hmmm its a long arc that won't focus on Peanut or Grape and it won't focus on King most likely as he just had an arc. (though its possible I guess) I'm gonna guess Sabrina and Fido, Sasha or the Nerds (namely Pete most likely).

Posted: **Thu Nov 17, 2011 5:12 pm**

Its a bit funny how all our minds are working. We've done all this fantasizing about king and bailey and we dont even know if she's single

Posted: **Thu Nov 17, 2011 5:40 pm**

Precisely.

Also, no long arcs until December?

I'm confused: what DEFINES a long arc?

Planned WHEN, now?

At least a full month I think

I think Planned for the Peanut and Grape arc in January. (it could be for the December arc but the wording makes me believe its the P&G arc.) And I always believed a Long Arc was an arc that was a month or more. Edit: what Rick said

awesome
I love the whole Cast but you can't beat Peanut and Grape stories.

Two words; awe... some...

Posted: **Thu Nov 17, 2011 10:22 pm**

<nods>

But I wonder if Rick actually meant we'll love what he's planning in December AND January?

I don't mind being updated, but i appreciate the spoiler <3

Although it leaves me curious what will go on this December, I find the idea that Peanut and Grape are being saved for the new year afterwards really neat afterwards. Wonder what year 2012 will be like!

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 12:04 am**

Well, let's hope that its the best year eVur!

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:02 am**

King just keeps slipping deeper and deeper

I love the Alt Text

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:03 am**

Okay, WHY do King's eyes look like that in the last panel?

Also, clearly Fox doesn't have a problem with this at all.... Wonder how that's going to play out?

And how does King know it's waterproof?

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:04 am**

and yet her neckerchief is perfectly dry

No it isn't--look again.

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:07 am**

Oh, REAL nice to mention that fact earlier, King!

I wonder if Fox will in fact encourage this?

I predict an awkward Thanksgiving dinner moment.

Have a safe journey north, Rick!

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:08 am**

I was just messing with you

clearly, I succeeded

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:08 am**

And the plot thickens!!!
Im loving this arc and I have so many guesses as to what will happen :O

Cant wait til the new update ^_^

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:12 am**

I daresay, Bailey looks quite dashing in the first panel. I also liked the detail of the belt collar, though it seems strikingly similar to Bino's.

You! *chases you with a pokeball*

Though that was pretty clever, Rick. <3

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:29 am**

you never disappoint, Rick.

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:42 am**

Is it just me or does Bailey seem fairly awkward around him as well?

Hmmmmm, I wonder how King's gonna react? He seemed pretty enamoured in the last panel.
how long is he gonna hold out before "going native" (if he does at all)
or is this just gonna make his decision not to get romantically involved more difficult?
I'll be taking bets now......

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:47 am**

I would rather not THIS be the primary reason he decides to remain a dog, if that is indeed what his decision will be.

Duplicate that sentence while changing "dog" to "human" and that's my position too.

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:50 am**

I still don't think Rick's going to make a decision on King anytime soon.
too many cool ideas left to explore.
(then again I'm just talking out my bubblegum)

Care to elaborate? After putting a quarter in the swear jar?

Great first panel by the way. But I can't look at that sound effect the same way thanks to Archer.

And I don't know if I've ever seen King so adorable. I dare someone to show me a better King than than!

Fox'll recommend turkey rather than chicken. Time to go festive?
