This made me chuckle.

Looks like a bit of info on King's cast page entry is now invalid. But I nitpick.

(Seriously, don't update, not on account of me).

Also, to those saying that Pete can come back as King's owner or take one of the ferrets as an avatar: I don't see how. The GM forbid him enter the arena until he has a FULL cat or dog avatar. Ferrets aren't in that category unless he transforms one with permission. Same applies to his human form, he can't do it. Well he can, but if the GM finds out, he's toast.

In my opinion the whole experience with Pete seemed to better King as a person.

I have to agree it really did in a way.

At least they didn't show the breasts those cubs gave King.

(Props if you get the reference....)

Hope king has a good metabolism, with all the raw meat he's going to eat.
I'm looking forward to King becoming the cubs "big brothers."

How many of King are there, again...?

(Seriously, though, me too!

If this is any indication....

He does, Pete was feeding him with offal, after all.

This was an awesome arc

!

And Foldo.... we already have a Sasha arc. We need Sabrina!

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:04 am

I would like to see a bit more of Peanut and Grape before anyone else.

Cerberusx · Post by **Cerberusx** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:07 am

Guesses on what the next arc will be about and who it will be about?

1. Peanut and Grape. Alog with Max.

2. Grape and Max, mainly.

3. Bino. Involving Sasha.

4. Sasha. Involving Bino and King.

fenning · Post by **fenning** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:19 am

I'm hoping for number four. Who DOESN'T want Sasha and King to hook up? hehe.

Barkeron · Post by **Barkeron** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:21 am

A great ending to a great arc. Yeah for King's sanity I hope he fits in. Who knows maybe King will learn to be more patient, (like he is starting to). Great character development, King went from timid to mature in the next. Okay maybe some old habits still remain. Last time I check, I heard that Sabrina is getting an arc or something.

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:27 am

I've actually had enough of King. He's a great character, but the last arc almost solely revolved around him, so I think he should be in the background for awhile. Just my 2 cents.

I mean Sabrina, not Sasha (Nights of Writing are not very good for my brain... --").

fenning · Post by **fenning** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 4:18 am

Meh, not my favorite character, but she deserves some attention. She is a fairly important character and she's been in what, 2 panels, 3 panels tops? Ok, I submit Jirodyne.

*Chants alongside Jirodyne* Sabrina! Sabrina! Sabrina!

Buckdida · Post by **Buckdida** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 4:21 am

The alt text for this one just MAKES it for me. Seems King is willing to put up with this...because of how bad Pete was to him.

Makes ya wonder what else Pete did...

Guess we'll have to wait for "All the King's Men" part two, huh?

The color of the muzzle is some sort of light blue, and in the right, it's white. Is that what you noticed?

no...
the top of his muzzle, the part between him nose and the fur between his eyes, is different colors in each picture.
>_>

That's what I meant...
EDIT: Okay, now I know what you mean.

Also, did anyone else notice that Miles has gotten even stronger?

I don't know about stronger, but I think he has been hanging around with Tiger.

I actually agree. King is my favourite character, and I'm extremely happy he got such a long arc, but I think everyone, not least Rick himself, will be happy to put King behind for a while. I think for that same reason the next arc can't be a Sasha one, because she's becoming quite related to King, so even if he didn't appear he'd likely be mentioned. Sabrina seems a possibility, but I think going back to good ol' Peanut and Grape (With side-helpings of Max) is probably the most likely outcome. That, or we'll have some Tiger, Marvin and Zach.

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 8:44 am

What about Joey, Rex & Fido? Also, I'd like a good, old Peanut and Grape arc, or a Sabrina & Fido arc.

PhoenixAsper · Post by **PhoenixAsper** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 8:51 am

I vote Fiddler and Keys.

Sabrina and Fido definitely might be one, but I don't think Joey will get an arc just yet. Maybe a few one-offs, but I think if he gets an arc it will be quite a sad one (In Housepets! terms that is) about how he feels ignored or lonely and other such stuff, whereas I think the next arc will need to be a silly one. It might even be a Spot arc! Although it's interesting you mention Rex. I hadn't thought of it before, but a Bino, Rex and Good ol Dog's Club arc might be up soon. I don't think we've ever seen Bino and Rex's reaction to Fox hanging out with them less (As he's been with King).

PhoenixAsper wrote:I vote Fiddler and Keys.

I'd say extremely unlikely, but what the hey? It'd be awesome. They get my vote too :p

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 9:07 am

Oh yes definitely how could I forget Fiddler and Keys? I vote for them, they're too cute to be ignored!

I think it's a bit specific, deliberate even. As such it's an upgrade more then a mistake. AKA no mess up, sorry but I must disagree with your analysis.

Oh, and I also agree that King's arc should wrap up soon (now?) it is time for something different. Hmm, some people are rooting for Sabrina? Well, we've seen (unless I am wrong) Sabrina and Tarot together when Tarot was communicating with Peanut when Pete escaped (that's so cool!) so it would give Rick an opportunity to have Tarot give a little "teaser" of information that really tells us nothing and only serves to mess with our heads and at the same time flesh out a character that could really use some more fleshing out. Probably only a short arc that leads itself back to the main characters in some wierd/humerous way which slowly (very slowly) moves the story along in a medium possably even large sized arc. I vote for medium sized because two long arcs seperated with only a small one would be kinda... I dunno, it just doesn't feel right to me.

And I would totally freak if that's actually what Rick does. I NEVER predict things with that much accuracy. Heck, I rarely predict things with any accuracy at all!

[rest of post]

I highly Rick would deliberately change something like that over the span of 3 strips, I could be wrong however.

King went trough dimensional portal with Pete and Tarot thus ending up in a different dimension wear all the Dogs have different hair nuzzles.
also, Bino is a Cat

Gasp

I sometimes mix up Fox's design with the wolf design
