apparently saso and jiro are bitter rivals?

the mention of the "animals are equal to humans!" ferrets gave me a small doubt: Is King now "owned" as the pet of the wolves, or the ferrets themselves? Or is he, as the wolves, his "own pet"?
I don't think it matters much either way, from a practical point of view, but law students tend to ignore the practical side to complicate ourselves with the way everything's written down.

Hmm... From the question, the way it's worded, and the mention of being a "student of the law" I'd say your trying to find a loophole and or plothole! Or ways to make your idea of whats going to happen next be more normal like.

Ps. I am no ones rival! Except maybe Fido's... But no one knows that >.> <.< >.>

One last thought...

Ya know, it's interesting. In the first strip, Fox tells King, "With a face like yours, you could be a real ladykiller."

In the last two, his face is marred by his accidental shaving. xD

Hey Rick, since it looks like one-offs are coming up, can we tease the Grapenut shippers? We've had a distinct lack of Peanut lately.

Yeah i LOVE Jiro. I mean i like King and all, but we need to switch around, get an equal balance.

*edit* Also I noticed that fox seems to look especially scrawny next to the Wolves. I mean he should be the same size, but his torso shrunk when you compare him to King and how they're portrayed together during the whole of the Arc.

Man, them wolves can put Rex at shame!

Fox is a nerd. You wouldn't expect him to be all that buff.

True dat forgot his book-worminess. Also a little step back to the debate about Pete, I was flipping back through the comic and saw that when they were debating the rules, Pete had to get a fully aquired avatar, or in other words, he'll probably come back as a Dog or a cat. Another sidenote, the Fox was playing too and might already have an avatar or does the dungeon master (if I do remember) not have an avatar?

I was responding to Valerio, how he mentioned how scrawny Fox looks next to Miles.

I wonder what King's gonna do now that he's not being controlled by Pete all the time? King has the knowledge/mind of a human, and will be almost as free, living with the wolves. Meanwhile, Pete's going to have to find another animal and act through them before he can even interact with King...

What if that pet is Fox? That would be bad...

Then we see Bino walk up to him.... with yellow eyes.... and knowing too much.... Wouldn't be too hard. Pete: Hey, want to know some dirty little secrets about King?

Well Miles reads too. I think the main reason is because Fox never had to kill his food, hence significantly less exercise. It makes sense that a (formerly?) wild wolf would be more buff than a domestic dog.

Is it just my end or are comments disabled on the latest strip?

Post by **Dissension** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 10:09 pm

Seems to just be you. At least, I'm able to post comments.

Additionally, I wonder whether King will still call himself "King" now that he's no longer restricted from doing otherwise?

RockstarRaccoon · Post by **RockstarRaccoon** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 10:40 pm

I just realized: Miles' collar is reminding me of the one on Bolly's avatar. Coincidence, or did Rick get the idea from there?

Dissension wrote:Additionally, I wonder whether King will still call himself "King" now that he's no longer restricted from doing otherwise?

Probably not: his name's been King for half a year now, and he's not turning back soon...

This is a really long arc isn't it? Its the longest i think.

No Imaginate Too! is the longest arc. But this is a very long arc mostly because of the amount of double strips.

All the cute girl dogs know him as "King" after all. Or does he try to forget that the party never happened?

He might have forgotten about the party. After all, he isn't chasing Sasha for walkies, or Tarot to question her. Tho that last part can be from the dream.

So wait, did Pete's house actually disappear or is the alt-text just some reference I didn't get?

I bet if nothing else King will find himself enjoying being taller than something for once.

I know that's a typo, but how fitting is it to say "since time immoral" for Pete?

So the second chance program has three separate legal problems with it. I wonder if that will come and bite King or the wolves in the but someday.

So now King lives with the ferrets (but is staying at the wolves house) does that mean that he is going to work for them in some way?

Also, what did King mean about "granting asylum" thing?

asylum from Pete.
Funny that King asked for shelter from the very one being who could turn him back into a human...

Meybe, being a dog is not that bad, after all, eh, corgi?

Since Pete doesn't look like he'd make a house disappear and then brainwash everyone into thinking it wasn't there, I'd say that I too don't get the alt-text reference.
And yay, King the tall guy is hilarious
