Doesn't matter which way you look at it. This King arc is going to be EPIC! And with that "lady killer" bit thrown in there, will make for an intresting confrintation of sorts, considering King still can't/wont except being a dog and live with 'hand' he is delt with.
I got to say, I think the King arcs are the ones, we like the most. I know I sure do.

First off, yay King's back! :3

Second, I feel stupid for not getting the alt text. =(

pant pant
more then one, so there pants, and there are two of them, so there are a pair of pents.

Fox just said king has a pretty face while panting...O_o "runs away"

Ya know, I don't know why it took me so long to realize this, but now that I think about it, this whole situation with King is reminding me of that one old show on Nickelodeon. That one show where the school bully was turned in to a dog and he had to do 100 good deeds to become human again? I know the circumstances aren't exactly the same, but they just seem similar to me.

As long as Fox isn't the Diego of the duo I'm okay with that set-up.

Oh my, heavens no! That wouldn't end very well.

I am so excited to see where this arc is headed ^^

*Dance dance dance*
Hooray, I'm looking forward to this arc!

As far as the KingxSasha thing goes, I feel a little odd about that, what with him being, of sorts, human. I think what might result, if not with Sasha then with any other female dog, is that he avoids getting into that kind of relationship ([Insert much embarassed pulling away from attempted kisses here]) and then has to deal with [insert prospective female character here] thinking they're not attractive, or even maybe thinking that King doesn't swing that way. Hell, maybe people will start to suspect KingxFox... Not saying King or Fox do feel that way, but that doesn't mean other characters won't think that o_0

Also, having the pets talking while panting looks very odd XD
Just thought I'd mention that.

Oh for crying out...

I love this one. Not only is King in a situation not to make more enemies (or risk further alienation with a certain self centered controlling pup with a penchant for explosive runes, I mean catnip) but we explore more of the dilemas of being a dog.

I am trying to push myself away from King, he is just too likeable as a character and I think Rick got a bit too much fan attraction towards that character when the main characters are being pushed aside a bit. Kinda like in Bob and George where everyone likes Megaman but he's not even a title character.

I can certainly feel some connection to his situation though, all throughout highschool all I could try to do was to try and get other people to just leave me alone rather then try to form meaningful relationships with them. I can tell you, it doesn't go anywhere good and I wonder when/if King's going to make his turn around.

Also the idea of a personal "torture" of "oh crap now even my face is trying to get me into trouble" is humerous to me.

I actually like that I didn't get the alternate text until after reading through the page twice, it made it all the more humerous when I finally did get it.

Far as as the paring go, even though I myself an a King/Sasha shipper, lets keep in mind that nothing lasts forever, and that is King. So its possible that King may go back to Joel, depending on how things go. This arc will be interesting, good for a character development. Yeah sooner or later King will have to "change" sort of speak by being around with other dogs on a daily basis rather than latching on to Fox, which brings me the attention of the King/Fox Ship, lets not go there..... The "change" I talking about is that, well okay King have his same personally but rather interact with other dogs and or cats. (Joey and Sasha is a good start).

If King turns into a human again, I'm going to be sad...

why?
He could end up being Sasha's new Dad. Hooray!
(Though I still root for KING+Sasha)

...whoa, you're right! Sasha needs a new daddy, and he could be it. I never saw it that way...

That'd be very nice, don't get me wrong, but not really possible. Let's not forget that Fox, all the K-9 unit and Fox's Dad (Can't remember his name at the moment. Bill I think?) know what Joel looks like. If he turns back into a human, he'll need to come up with one heck of an explanation or high tail it out of there.
I don't think Joel adopting Sasha is on the table really

Not if Pete can do something to fix that. Chances are, he probably erase minds about the whole thing. However, I myself don't see that happening. So why I posted that? Just an theory.

Yes this could happen (Like I've said a few times before) Its very likely due to the fact that Pete does not think that Jail will do Joel any good.

I can guarantee you now that won't happen.

Yeah but at same time, I'm a bit fuzzy on Pete's intentions of turning Joel in to King, but however you do have a point there about Pete not thinking that Jail won't do Joel any good.

Maybe Pete just wants a pet :P

Oh and why were at it, why not throw Pete/King into the mix as well. Okay guys I just joking, so don't jump on me.

Well to tell the truth we're fuzzy on Pete's intentions for anything really. I mean I don't even think we really know what he is exactly (unless Rick told us somewhere and I'm not aware of it.) The best I can come up with for Pete turning Joel into King is to teach him a lesson like he said when he first turned changed him.

I guessing Rick will surprise us some where down the line. And yeah I just stick with the reason why Pete turn Joel into King is to teach him some kind of lesson. I going to sit back and see how this arc does. Like I said in other post, it would be great so see some character development, and that character I mean King and another character.

You mean 100 Good Deeds of Eddie McDowd? That was the first thing I thought of when I first read "It's a Wonderful Dog's Life," but this is SO much better than that show was. I liked the premise of the show and the first episode, but beyond that I just couldn't watch it.

Anyway, Joel/King is NO Eddie McDowd (thank goodness!).

That show was so bad I can't even believe I gave it a chance back when it was on. I agree with you on the premise of the show it was interesting (and in a way with King where getting it how it should have been done in the show, at least somewhat) Oh and its called 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd (I looked it up on Wikipeda to refresh my memory of the show because I had completely forgotten about it.)

I have no idea what show you guys are talking about. When was it on?

1999-2002, apparently. (And thanks, IceKitsune!)

Ah, that explains it. I remember very little from 2003 back.

I just remembered that King used to be human. Every time i think Kiing now, i think adorable corgi not kidnapping human.
...
OMG I just remembered that Joel tried to kidnap Fox and it's ironic that now Fox is the only one he talks to!

I've never felt so disappointed in my memory before.

I liked it and I'm looking forward to seeing more. The conversations on this are weird.....

I know...

In part, yes, but the Christmas arc was only 12 comics long and started a longer story arc; I thought I was spreading things out rather nicely

Hi Rick! You're awesome! I can't wait until the next strip! Yay King! Yay Fox! Yay other characters who may or may not show up in this arc, but judging by Fox's words, Sasha or another female character will most likely be in it! Yay them!

Let's face it, no matter which way the arc goes, we're gonna love it, am I right?

This arc is probably going to go in a real weird direction for everyone.

No I won't explain what I mean by that. Three weeks to July 4!

you are waaaay to happy. stop drinking so mcuh coffee



you are spreading it out nicely.
was the chhristmas arc really 12 strips? it felt shorter then that....

It was 13 strips--I counted.

Okay 13, I was going by Buck's reckoning

we have to wait 3 weeks for the end of this arc! are you trying to make us explode???



really? huh, who woulda guessd it

Oh man, as if I wasn't anxious enough to see where it goes!

This intrigues me quite a bit. Now I'm even more interested then before about this arc. (And I was already pretty interested to begin with, It being the King arc and all.) And wow Three weeks of King this is going to be real fun.
