Well, Baileys back and she's... calm and happy. I think King might be dead.

I love the alt text, it reaches almost to the beginning of the comic.

I would have bet money Bailey wasn't going to appear until the end.

Well, I give up. I don't know where the plot is going. I thought Sasha and King were going to have a Hallmark moment, but now that Bailey is back with the pups I doubt that's on the table.

I was thinking this could be an arc where King and Bailey team up (Wonder Parents Powers Activate) and help Sasha adapt to real world independent adulting life in a montage style way but the title still makes me think some kind of romanic whatever is going to happen.

Whelp Bailey and King are going to have a lot to talk about. How this goes should be interesting.

While Sasha continues with double entendres, the more benign interpretation is probably worse for King. Fortunately for King, Sasha isn't likely to end up with one of their pouppieues since Bailey is just as opposed to giving them up. Sasha wanting to adopt gives a whole new meaning to "Be Mine".

I figured someone was going to come in and "rescue " King pretty soon. I agree that the overall title makes me think that something romantic is coming. I didnt really think strongly that it was going to be between King and Sasha. She's ditzy, but I think understands Kings relationship a bit better than that. She isn't good at boundaries, though. I still think this will be about Sadha and either Kevin or Fox.

I want to point out how normal and mundane King's life has become. I mean this is the same guy who was arrested, turned into a dog, imprisoned for seven months, married a dog, had part of his soul manifest as a watch, went to HEAVEN, brokered a deal with "God," then faced an all-powerful demi-god to win his freedom. Since then his life has just been "We have to find a baby-sitter" and "Unexpected houseguest. And she's FEMALE."

The fact that King can't handle the mundane everyday honestly very human situations tells me he will not live through his daughters going through puberty or Bahamut forbid DATE. On his death bed, King will say
King: Rook, you're the man of the house now.
Rook: But Dad, I'm a dog.
King: That's not the point....eehhhhsshdsflskdjf *beeeeeep*

Oh, she knows what she’s doing;
this temptress of all the boys.
She holds their hearts in her paws
and plays with them like toys.
She knows just what to say,
and when to say it too;
her timing is precise;
she’s got to see it through.
Her eyes sparkle with humour,
brighter than any known book
and now she has a new auntie
because I’m talking about Rook.

Got a good chuckle out of this one. Glad to see more of the pups. I guarantee that there's at least one person that's going to make King in panel 2 their avatar in the coming days, that's an excellent face.

Also, the name of today's comic is nearly identical to the comic from June 8, 2016, All Wet, which, curiously, also featured Rook solo from among King's pups, the only other such occurrence in the comic.

Wonder who's accompanying Bailey?

Sasha is adorable when she's asking a question King is bound to misconstrue.

Or maybe she doesn't quite understand HOW puppies are made, and her idea of "snuggling" really is just snuggling.

"You think the topical whiplash would help, but no." Yeah, that seems appropriate here too."
--
I want have your puppies,
Where have we heard that before?
King's mouth gapes like a guppy's,
Now he's passed out on the floor.

Where were Bailey and the pups
While Sasha was visiting King?
Out to play, that's my guess,
And Sasha makes King's heart sing.

But no, topical whiplash strikes again,
And winds King up real tight,
And so we wonder what really can
End King's strife and plight.
You're a wonderful person! You can do this! Yes, you, person reading this!

Oh, huh... :shock: :? You should chill now, Sasha, it's time you need to be careful about what you say. :roll: I know you mean King's actual puppies got with Bailey, but still... :P And yeah, that brings old memories of when she was falling in love with Fido. :D It's surprising to see Bailey so calm with Sasha in front of her and King fainted, maybe it's because she dried herself just a while before. :P

Bailey knows Sasha pretty well (Sasha was maid of honor at the wedding) - I think she cuts her a few miles of slack. She also knows King and his anxieties, and she trusts him emphatically.

Agreed. A good joke would be King stammering as he tries to get out the “It’s not what it looks like!” speech and Bailey puts a paw-finger up to his lips to get him to shush, reassuring him.

King: [Blushing furiously and flailing his arms] Bailey, this is- what she said was- I was just trying to-
Bailey: Calm down. I know how Sasha gets people all tangled up in these kinds of shenanigans. You don’t have to apologize one bit. This isn’t some kind of sitcom where a huge misunderstanding dominates the entire day.
With the right community, getting into a webcomic at the beginning of a brand new arc can feel just as enjoyable and rewarding as being there from the beginning.

To her credit, buying one of King's pups is directly related to what he said just before about being a married dog.

I'm very surprised he hasn't run into a critical unrepairable error yet but then again that would spell the end of King.
