Because it's funnier that way

Boris should've accidentally drowned King and had to have revived him. Cartoon resuscitation is a lost art.

you can tell just by looking at him that boris has a lot of experience holding other dogs underwater

It's a reference to the album version of "Let's Get Started On Doing All Those Awesome Things I Suggested" from Strong Bad Sings And Other Type Hits

Ah ok then

Wow I don't even remember that reference, and I listened to that song. Hmm.

Anyway, bathing King is aww! And Duchess is not a pleasant person. She'd probably get along with Dionne from Precocious.

I just noticed, that is a big bathroom! At least, it looks that way...

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 4:02 am

Well Duchess seems pretty wealthy, sooo...

PhoenixAsper · Post by **PhoenixAsper** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 10:12 am

Oh Duchess, what HAPPENED to you to make you this way?

Even KING is happier and more pleasant than you are, and likely would have been BEFORE he was King!

And King, if you really believed in honor, you'd have the honor to tell Fox who you are someday, rather than cling to a lie and an incomplete friendship.

Anyway, I like it.

Shows the personality differences well.

i'm surprised King didn't drowned Brois has big muscles, i think it would have been funnier if he lifted King up for air, but that's my opinion.

side note-'scrubadubdub; now get in the tub!' that's what my dad would always tell me, like it was supposed to be comferting or something, it's a command mixed with a rhym, who else has heard their parents say that?

Settle down, boy. Who says he won't tell Fox?

PhoenixAsper · Post by **PhoenixAsper** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 1:49 pm

I didn't say he wouldn't.

Also, it occurred to me this could be a test of King's character: if he really considers honor, reason, and compassion to be things to look for in a dog, is he ready to go along with betraying those for the sake to talk to Bailey more often? I get the feeling that Bailey and Fox wouldn't want that.

Stop me if this has already been asked, but. Is it safe to assume either a or b:

A: Boris lives with the same family as Duchess.
B: Boris is currently in Duchess's employ.

I'm guessing B.

sean21 · Post by **sean21** » Sat Feb 25, 2012 1:35 am

he called her mistress at the begining, which leads me to believe their together as a couple and that she's only manipulating King to win the pageant

Sat Feb 25, 2012 2:08 am

Mistress doesn't usually imply a couple, more of a servile role, so I say he's working for her or her family.

sean21 · Post by **sean21** » Sat Feb 25, 2012 9:03 am

oh now i see it, i didn't think much of it, i didn't really like Boris from his first appearance helping Bino bully King, also i hope this isn't a redundant question but what happened to the scar on his left shoulder, it seems Mr. Griffin is cutting corners

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Feb 25, 2012 3:39 pm

Who said it was a scar? It could've been a healing wound.

So far it's looking to be dogs only. Not to say Cats aren't Loyal, but whenever Loyalty is brought up, it's usually the strongest subject of Dogs. Cats usually go for the Trust.

Would be funny to hear some cat comments on the contest though. X3

I figure that Grape would have a few things to say about pageants and the animals who participate in them. Most likely something along the lines of them being overly pampered, pretentious pups. :p

How did I not Notice King is "naked" while talking to duchess and not even caring..... Silly human, not knowing what no collar even means...

It doesn't take that long to adapt. I legitimately felt slightly awkward taking my collar off around Rick. *giggles*

Thaaaaaaaaat's... pretty weird.

Um, why were you taking your collar off?

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Sun Feb 26, 2012 11:28 pm

How scandalous.

Personally, I would never take my collar of in public.

Wearing a collar for 14 hours is hard enough. Wearing one for 24 would be pretty painful.

Unlike King, who has fur to make sure his collar is nice and comfy.

copper · Post by **copper** » Sun Feb 26, 2012 11:49 pm

But you are a fox....

How scandalous indeed....

Anywho, Duchess is a winner it seems. Let us hope she loses.

...Oh wait, he's a new character.

I like how Duchess comes across as the more pleasant one here.

copper · Post by **copper** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 1:05 am

Wow, that dog is looking buff tonight.... I believe this now qualifies as some sort of meme or something here...

Not tag collars, so that is what passes for fancy.

Border Collie, huh? Yeah, I can see that. Poor King, no one ever pays attention to him...

The alt. text is hilarious in it's nonsense!

I can't help but feel that Duchess will learn a lesson about life or something. She does seem to be the lesser of two evils.

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 1:07 am

Is everyone here going to act like Duchess and Colleen? Also yay a Rough Collie!

Wanderer · Post by **Wanderer** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 1:08 am

I don't think I've actually seen a muscular dog before... sure they are anthropomorphic but that's too much?

Post by **Dissension** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 1:11 am

You've never seen Fido (who's not super-muscular but always draws comments), Rex, Kevin, Boris, Yeltsin, or the various adult wolves in the comic?

Pleasant? Really? How is she less unpleasant than Colleen here?

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 1:13 am

'Cause she's only reacting to rudeness. Not like it excuses her, but it makes her feel like the "good guy" in their argument.

Wanderer · Post by **Wanderer** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 1:15 am

I was referring to actual dogs, not the ones in Housepets.
I'm pretty sure no dog actually has bulging muscles and six-pack abs.
