Not to mention you couldn't show off Fido's spiffy new collar!

Wouldn't that work both ways, then? But Peanut would have taken that picture anyway!

I think King is just allergic to Christmas parties

haha I never seen this coming

Oh King, now probably you'd like to be Joel again and being safe in that comfortable prison XD

Yeah, I love new Fido's collar. That color fit perfectly on him! I wonder if his tag is still green

Poor Fido, judging by his mouth he was just about to kiss his lady
not to mention he growled at the only dog who could find his situation cute and understandable. Good friends, anyone?

The arc title is making more and more sense.

It's funny 'cause King is small.

Nonono, he was kissing her when he heard the door open.

Oh Fido. It's almost like you want to be caught. As for me I really want to make a mouse in your pocket joke but I have a feeling that wouldn't be PG. So I'll try a different approach.

Setup - Alone once more Fido leaves Sabrina and has a talk with Spo, their lookout, who sits in the pocket of Fido's winter jacket which hangs on the room's only door

Fido - "Spo! You totally stink at this!"
Spo - "In my defense I actually did you a favor"
Fido - "Really..."
Spo - "Well, I saw you had next to no room in here which got me thinking that yelling "Heads Up!" might have made things worse. So I went with something different. Something that totally fits in with the theme of the party and wouldn't look at all suspicious"
Fido - "What was it?"
Spo - "A Wolf Howl!"

Fido face palms himself.

Ah, so now King knows Fido's little secret, hm? Fascinating.

Honestly, though, with only two updates remaining, I fail to see how anything is getting stabilized in the cosmic arc, a point of stability that can be stayed at for a while. If anything, this would just make more questions. I know it isn't over yet, but I mean, what can be accomplished in two updates? I'm still holding out hope, because I was looking forward to something quite happy and significant.... (Unless the arc WON'T be over on Christmas, which is highly unlikely).

Or is it that the events of November derailed what this was going to be?

Not if he knows what's good for him.

rick

what's in the box

no really, what chicken's in the box

I'm not sure will we witness next updates anymore. In Friday end of the world will commence. There's still chance we will see the next update since it will be Friday, but we must prepare of the end of everything anyways.

Bailey: "Get a room! ...another room."

My favorite part is Sabrina's face in the last panel. Why has no one said anything about that yet?

I wasn't had to say anything, just putting it as my new avatar speaks for itself
Besides, Sabrina knows King's secret, so she didn't need to react that way XD

Yea, but Bailey didn't know.

Which could make an interesting dynamic. Maybe it's not a taboo where Bailey comes from, and she innocently spills the beans?

Or, not knowing Fido personally, she describes the scene more generically, and Bino assumes it's Peanut and Grape?

It's either a hat box or a present waiting for christmas.

Considering its the wolf house, yeah, what chicken is probably there

Or a dead Bino.

is it a living hat

because the box has action lines

Canon.

Break out the fanfiction.

Well shes happy about the Mistletoe that’s a good sign I guess. Also Ralphs muzzle looks like its to long or something to me.

C'mon kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

Yea, the first thing I noticed was Ralph looks slightly different. I've never noticed his dog tag was a whistle, though. And he's as diligent as ever in his job, keeping his radio with him even at a Christmas party.

yet another new collar... and goggles... and spiky hair. New Joey is best Joey

Glad I'm not the only one who likes Joey's new style.

I feel ashamed I missed his epic new goggles. Guess I was too focused on Ralph's new look to notice.

Joey does look really cool I like the goggles and the Blue collar really suits him.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say that Joey kinda stole the show in this strip. Not that I'm complaining. He looks freaking awesome with goggles.

That, coupled with the crowd looking kinda like rocky plateaus in the distance, kinda makes me think that Joey is currently living in the Borderlands universe.

Nothing can interrupt you except the mistletoe. Curse you, mistletoe! Where are you when the cats are around?!?

At least Bailey may get a kiss out of it. Mwahaha!

I don't understand. This whole thing, as far as I can tell, has had nothing to do with any cosmic arc...

Joey looks epic! Instead, Squeak looks like she shrunk! Must have been the new prechristmas diet...
Daysy's white tuft is like an adorable heart

raccoons: "These are not the pastries you are looking for"

...Aannd I see a big FRIEND ZONE sign hanging over our heroes.

that mouse has an unhealthy fixation

especially in a room full of predators

Never say never King, now I'm pretty sure someone's gonna interrupt that awkward moment (probably before the kiss ). By the way, it's better you go search a chair if you want that kiss, buddy.

I love the new design of Joey. He looks like as if he was taken from an anime. Remind me a lot to Simon of Gurren Lagann.
It's good that the three brothers have different colors collars since they have different owners. It have more sense this way.

It's seems that the secret of Romeo and Juliet is going to get public at any time soon, since now Ralph is suspecting. I'm only know that if Bino or Max learn about this, it will make public in seconds. I wonder who's gonna talk first, Peanut, Grape, King or Ralph if he get to know?

Well, it's seems that we survive to the end of the world, so now we can wait calmly the outcome of this story. Like I said before, I doubt they going to break up just for one fight (and plus it's Christmas), but the chances still there.

"HI I'M DAISY"

I laughed so, so hard. Actually, I'm pretty sure that's her first appearance in awhile.

Is Joey cosplaying of something or is it just a new look? If it's a new look then he looks great. I always had a hard time trying to differ him from Bino.

Shut up and kiss her, King. Just shut up and kiss her. :3

King for the love of Dog and for the love of yourself-for-once, KISS THE GIRL AND MAKE UP! NAU!

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Float along and listen to the song
The song say, "Kiss the girl"
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Music play, do what the music say
You gotta kiss the girl
