Aww, no fair making this just a one-off.

Of all the OTPs I've shipped, these two are my favorite. They're so adorable

Oh hey, I read that book as a teen. It's probably a bit more controversial in their universe, though.

This is his worst nightmare. Also that shake sounds terrible

Post by **D-Rock** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 12:15 am

I'm not sure, but something tells me that King isn't ready for kids. Also, I know she's a dog, but that is one of the weirdest things I've heard. Not the first time I've heard it, but still weird.

Ugh, she caught him mid yawn too. He must be terrified!

She wears her scarf to bed? She needs glasses? Interesting...

Well, it is a childhood favorite after all. It COULD be innocent!!

It's so cute to see them together like that

King_Crimson · Post by **King_Crimson** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 12:43 am

aww, they're already like an old married couple, bailey with her adorable glasses reading a book and King...Panicking hmm, maybe not so much. but, either way they do make an adorable couple and are by far my favorite couple. im glad that atleast one of my ships has sailed and is on steady waters. though for king's sake let's hope that water won't Break soon.

Brendmar · Post by **Brendmar** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 12:46 am

That's totally what you want right before bed... A freakin HEART ATTACK! XD Poor King.

Oddly enough, cherry and pickle isnt the weirdest thing I've seen people eat as the norm. One of my uncles eats like, peanut-butter, pickle, ketchup sandwiches.

I'm not sure how to properly respond to this.

Hey! Wonder if the sandwich Max gave Grape last One-Off was a Cherry-Pickle sandwich.....

While on the other hand, King doesn't wear his collar to bed. Also, I'm betting at least on of the King fans will update their user icon thing with this comic; lots of lols!

So Miles loaned her a pair of reading glasses?

There are things to which you cannot wake
or drop to sleep to. Things you fret for and love.
Things far worse and better than Milkshake.
Things from down below sent by those above.
Things his parents would both adore and fear;
Things that they'd know and not understand.
Things they'd register as natural but queer;
Things he can't escape by the washstand.
Things he can only ideally fear and adore;
Things that'll be like him and the wolfcub.
Things that may be him now and him before;
Things that will be if she's in the club.
Things that will be the best of both worlds.

Tread lightly, Rick. My heart might just explode from the amazingness of King by the end of this chapter.

Yeah. I'm sad that it's a one-off, but "one year" is going to be ending in a couple of months, so I can be patient. =)

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 3:21 am

Well, shucks. I also though about huskies when I saw this comic. Still got food on the brain, Rick? X3

I can see this particular one-off being used in the future with other married couples =3

King shouldn't be worried about this.

thespartanpenguin · Post by **thespartanpenguin** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 3:43 am

Does that count as a thriller or murder mystery for dogs?

Silly Zealot · Post by **Silly Zealot** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 4:34 am

I didn't get what those weird cravings meant until I read the comments.
If anyone wants to give their final farewells to my peace of mind, you are welcome to do so. I'm sure it is what it would have wanted.

Maybe this is a one-off because it IS happening in the far future?

What if the they end up crazy like the mother and tiny like the father?

I would, but his reaction is both adorable and funny.

Hurrah for Kailey ships.

I thought it was called "Kingley".

Lucid_Dragon · Post by **Lucid_Dragon** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 6:26 am

This one is incredibly cute, and even though it's a one-off, it makes me hopeful for the day when King is free to live his canine life, unhindered by inhibitions of his previous life and the plans of a certain malicious griffon. This comic just made my day (and probably week).

Go Kingley!

On another note, I'm not dead! Sorry it's been a while...work kinda swallowed up my life. ^^;

I nearly spoiled my coffee when I saw it.

Did it really happen? I hope. But it must be true as the Bad Translator already predicted it:

Maybe it's an one-off because it doesn't contain sufficient PG-material to become an arc.

Oh yes, that one year. *waiting curiously how that'll end*

This'n made me giggle!

That's a neat book, too.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 7:44 am

You know, I never try adding anything to my milkshakes except vanilla ice cream, but pickles would be a odd one. Where's the flavor? X3

That_Red_Folf · Post by **That_Red_Folf** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 7:49 am

At first I thought Bailey enjoyed pickle and cherry milkshakes and just had a craving for one (we all have food cravings every now and again, don't we?). But reading the comments here, especially Render's, maybe they may be having babies at some point! I also didn't know Bailey wears reading glasses, they do seem to make her look a little older.
Also, good book choice Bailey!

Guys, guys! It's just something her mother made! She may be homesick for all we know

Noir The Sable · Post by **Noir The Sable** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 8:29 am

As cute as it is, I still really see King and ~~Lionheart~~ Bailey's relationship ending pretty poorly. I used to be in the small contingent of folks who hoped King would change back -- now, I'm kind of torn between both.

I'm kind of dreading Pete's reveal. It's like one of those comedy or rom-com movies where the protagonist lies about who they really are, that lie becomes a keystone or a sticking point to a relationship or a team with a common/noble goal, then that partner or team find out the truth, they end up not trusting the protagonist, they kick the protagonist out, and moping for everybody! (Variations may exist, see: Chicken Run, Bug's Life, Mrs. Doubtfire, Avatar). I'm the kind of person who ends up really empathizing with fictional characters in media, so up until the reveal and moping and the whole protagonist's "I may not REALLY be 'x', but in a way, I AM 'x'! I'm going back to save the day and/or get the girl/guy!" epiphany or speech, stories with this plot become kind of difficult for me to read/watch because I just know it's going to lead to that reveal and it's going to put a wrench in everything and... just.... ngaaaaaaaaafgfdfgsgf

I'm not saying this kind of plot is bad -- The King's Speech (coincidentally enough) had a pretty good twist on this -- it's just... hard to watch while knowing the reveal is coming.

Maybe he needed a drink of water? (* Bricked! *)

Brendmar wrote:One of my uncles eats like, peanut-butter, pickle, ketchup sandwiches.

Hmm... well, the pickle and the catsup would pick up the saltiness of the peanut butter. Still, a little unusual.

Welsh Halfwit wrote:So Miles loaned her a pair of reading glasses?

You noticed that too? The Wolves and the dogs generally need reading glasses. And Bailey's adorkable wearing them.

For the curious, Bailey's book is Mark Haddon's novel about a British teenager with an unspecified Autistic Spectrum disorder. The title comes from a Sherlock Holmes quote in Arthur Conan Doyle's short story Silver Blaze. I haven't read Haddon's book yet (so don't spoil it) but I've lived all my life with a person with Asperger syndrome. It gives one an interesting perspective. I'm not sure if The Dog in the Night-Time would make a good Imaginate! segment...

(Edit) ...Unless they could get King to play Christopher...

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 8:51 am

The book was OK, but people familiar with autistic spectrum disorders tell me it's not at all realistic.
