Um.... Love Whip? What is this about next year?

Yeesh, she can be scary. But it seems she cares about King, so this might just get interesting...

Poor King. If he doesn't end it now this will be an interesting year.
Love whips are more common than I thought too.

What the HECK is a "love whip"? I don't even understand this update....

Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:11 am

the phrase "love whip" makes me feel weird.

Is it a whip she uses to get people to love her, or something else?

First thing that comes to mind from "love whip":

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:21 am

I suddenly picture Duchess going after King and saying:

"In the name of the Moon! I shall punish you!" with Boris as Tuxedo Dog.

But i'm sure a love whip is probably something she likes to call it and not a actual item. And while the imagination can run wild on the ideas, i'm sure it's either something to deal with horses, swinging across balconies/lamp posts or she's Indiana Jane ~ once she got your feet, you're not getting away.

Love Whip reminds me of this instead:

Also I think Duchess plans on using it for punishment.

First thing to pop into my brain when I saw Sleet's picture.
But I don't expect any unnecessarily long and colorful transformations anytime soon. What a shame.

"He doesn't care about me. That is UNACCEPTABLE."

...

"Get the love whip."

Ohhh dear. I was gonna rub it in everyone's faces that Duchess didn't break the cell phone after all, but now I'm concerned that the problem may be a bit more serious than that. Haha.

Also, I like how Duchess pulled a drama-queen fit into her pillow.

Love whip

This is gonna get interesting.......

Ummmmmm..... what's going on here?

I don't get it, "love whip"?

She's obviously upset that King didn't pay attention to her, even though she does not have feelings for him. She wants him to look at HER, that way HER rightful place can be regained. Since when did Housepets become "Fatal Attraction", or something like that?

(I'm JOKING, but the point is there.)

Has the whole romance angle now become the main focus of the King arc? I hope not.

Also........ ummmmm.......... Duchess and I may not be so different.

see you guys i told you Duchess would overreact if she loses by taking it out on King, hopefully the 'love whip' isn't what we think it is...

in that case i am not looking forward to the next update, sorry Rick, unless there's some sort of twist to this 'love whip' phrase, no it has the word whip in it, that can't be good, RUN King RUN WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE CHANCE.

Love whip? Now it will get interesting

justacritic · Post by **justacritic** » Mon Mar 05, 2012 2:14 pm

The willies I have them because of Duchess. The fact of her national affiliation, appearance, name ,combined with the ominous "love whip" gives me a rather disturbing fear for King.

That said, she's completely missing the point of why she lost in the first place

Emphasis on the H.

JohnWillow · Post by **JohnWillow** » Mon Mar 05, 2012 4:53 pm

I'm guessing that "Love Whip" is either a form of self torture that empties her of benevolent emotions, a Wonder Woman kind of thing (aka the lasso of truth) that makes anyone she strikes fall in love with her, or it's the best darn sugarific topping a pie could be adorned with. Since writing that i have now got a feeling that Duchess is going to be super nice to King only to fool him into liking her.

Am I still reading the same comic?

RockstarRaccoon · Post by **RockstarRaccoon** » Tue Mar 06, 2012 6:07 am

Why doesn't she just date Boris? He seems, erm... large, heavily muscled, and a fine example of his breed... devoted too...

I think Rick is being a naughty naughty dog... Perhaps he needs to be punished...

...With a stern talking to. No whips or rope. Don't start putting words in my mouth!

Edit:
Oh, and watch this be the last comic of the arc.

Really? next one is the last of this arc? it feels like this plot is only halfway the ending.

He's just speculating.

Hah and pure breeds are at risk for a lot more health problems than a mutt. Take That Eugenics and useless show breeding

Date Boris? that would be like a movie star dating their bouncer.
In other words, not very good to public opinion.

ZambieHugger · Post by **ZambieHugger** » Tue Mar 06, 2012 4:46 pm

Well now that we think about it it would seem that Boris has no personality so to speak, especially since he's basically a supporting character. But then again it's hilarious just to see Duchess lose it

But I agree with TheMobian, it would be akward for Duchess to date Boris, no matter whut you could think about it. And again, whuts with the "Love Whip"?

Plus she might not be attracted. That happens sometimes.

ZambieHugger · Post by **ZambieHugger** » Tue Mar 06, 2012 4:57 pm

You know whut they say "Just because you are unique, does not mean you are useful!". In short I just don't think she likes hime, maybe as some sort of slave...just maybe.

WHAT!? I don't even know what to say here.... I think this comic just went up a rating....

Looks like there's love cuffs as well. o_o

Well this is interesting, I though it might go this way but I dismissed it at first as a bit much. Oh well not going to complain about this.

ChewyChewy · Post by **ChewyChewy** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 1:06 am

O_O

In the words of Fox, "Can we...just pretend this never happened?"

Seriously, Rick, this is the kind of thing we wouldn't be allowed to discuss in the forums, lest we get banned fast! You're really putting this in the COMIC? REALLY? A PG-rated webcomic?

I'm disillusioned. I really am.
