Yeah, in a traumatic victim sort of way. Whenever King sees a leash now (or pink probably), he'll grab the closest shovel or trowel at hand.

Curse you. That aside, I look forward to it.
Sinder wrote:most people dispose of the murder weapon when they're done with it
Yeah. And most warriors keep a trophy of their first kill (she's obviously most likely probably maybe she's still alive).

Seriously though, I love how Bailey immediately knows King used, and still has, a shovel.

PAGE KING!!!

I understand King's paranoia, I really do. I myself have multiple weapons scattered throughout the house. Mainly large knives. **** I have two under my pillow!!! I always carry a blade with me and I have a pistol located somewhere in the house too!!! Also there is a gun safe in my closet with another pistol (Berretta) and two rifles. My favorite is the M16.

The point is don't break into this house or I will either stab or shoot you!!!!

And gotta love the paranoia. Some people think it's not cute, but considering this is a comic, i think it is =P

I think it's the panicked way King says that he can't let go of the shovel that really brings forth how cute that panel is.

Xane wrote:I've always been confused as to just how Yeltsin was "holding down" Zach in that strip. He's holding down his left leg while they tickle the right one? It looks more like he's just leaning with his paws on the table, while looking as grumpy as ever.

I'm pretty sure that Yeltsin is holding down his arm (my guess is Boris has the other arm down off-panel); both of Zach's legs are bound, so I don't think they need anyone holding those down. I guess that begs the question of why they would bind his legs with ropes, and not his arms. But I digress.
Xane wrote:Back on topic, Bailey's expression in panel 3 is kind of weird. That expression goes along better with her line in panel 4.
Personally, I think it works pretty well for both, but I'd imagine that's to do with his being constrained to 4 panels. Having the aesthetic of going back to King holding the shovel was more important for the joke than giving Bailey a perfectly fitting expression for all of her lines.

Uh huh.

You know, I think quite enough has happened to him. He didn't need a crazy psycho saluki stalking him on top of it all.

At least I know how long it'll be until the next one this time. Whatever's coming, I SURE hope it's awesomely awesome.

I noticed that too. I'm looking forward to seeing more King stripes. Especially with Bailey in the future.

Zach is surprisingly tall for a rabbit.

Bailey loves him, that's so adorable, had no idea they were at this stage in their relationship.

I'm guessing this is the last strip in the arc. Pretty psyched about the next one, which character will get featured this time, will it be Keene, I always hope to see more of Res, or maybe Rick will feature a character we don't normally get a taste of....

I noticed King didn't say "I love you" back to Bailey. He's obviously not yet ready to say that yet. But that's just my opinion. But I think there perfect for each other.

I don't think it's anything to look too deeply into. Based on the fourth panel, it's likely that it just didn't come up.
Also agreed. The last sentence, I mean.

I don't even want to know what a "black romance" is.

Anyway, I think (I HOPE) that was just meant as a joke. Duchess doesn't strike me as the type to love ANYONE, just to USE them.

Besides, what about Sasha?

And I know this carries no weight, but I REALLY don't ever want to see Duchess again--unless I could be assured that it's THIS Duchess, and not PSYCHOTIC Duchess....

I'm pretty sure that was just a joke. Sasha's the only girl for Bino.
and I doubt psycho Duchess will pop up again anytime soon.

Duchess and Bino... what a pair that would make. :?

Bino will surely appoint her a position in the GODC soon. :lol:

Eh, I think it wasn't so much that Duchess is prone to being psycho as much as it was a combo of King having no interest in her and King and Duchess coming in third. She probably just snapped and needed that knock to the head. Good King!

I think it was more that Duchess needed to have an adorable partner with the right papers who clearly loved her and is a strong proponent of brainwashing. Psychosis does not, I think, play a role. Aside from good-natured sociopathy, of course. x3

Cute. I would find it funny if Duchess tries to hook up with Bino the same way she tried to hook up with King only for her and Bino, while having the best chemistry together of all the housepets couples somehow, breaks up because Duchess gets dead last in the contest the following year with Bino, yet fails to see the romantic side of it.

that's not fair because Bino's in love with Duchess, it would be a deeper, more emotional cheating. Sasha isn't in love with Fido, she just wants his poppies.

It's no less fair than Sasha dating other dogs while she is technically "with" Bino. The level of emotional attachment with the one they're cheating with isn't relevant really; cheating is cheating, yeah?

He's referring to kismesissitude, a type of alien romance in Homestuck based on mutual loathing, more or less. So yeah, a joke.

Why is this not in the very least surprising? Just when everyone thinks you've stopped Rick, you pull one right out underneath our noses! :lol:

Anyay, I believe only two names are possible here. So who's up for Dino or Buchess? Or maybe Ducho?

Hmmm, you know, I think Bino is kicking Duchess in panel two.

I honestly don't think Dutchess and Bino would be a good couple since they're both so...Mean...

And Bino is attracted to her because she said for him to stick his head in a furnace......

Well i guess that's what love does to you.

On a side note: What's Boris's relationship with Dutchess? Is he like a paid Bodyguard or what?
