Who says that Pete couldn't poof them back to life? or take king back in time.

Well, Joel looks to be about 14 in the flashback to his childhood, and he looks to be about 27 now. That would mean that his pets would be about 13 years older. so King could meet them if they were any younger than eleven years old.

I SWEAR RICK WATCHES THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE

Also, what is it with Orange Soda in this comic????

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:06 am

I. Love. Today's comic. It's funny, cute, and furthers what seems to be a running gag.

Also, soy sauce. Bubs' concession stand.

Sinder · Post by **Sinder** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:07 am

soda does not work that way

Reference=understood.

Ok I knew he wouldn't get amnesia. Also I wonder if its just Orange Soda that gets pets drunk or is it any soda. Also I love the last panel

Oh, I am SO looking forward to when this arc is over, both to find out what happens and so that I can record these King lines for the Radio Project!

No WONDER Rick said this was going to be weird....

And why DOES orange soda make animals drunk, anyway? Is that just a creative idea, or does orange soda actually have some property in it...?

Oh man, this comic strip is rich. Still giggling from it. Well the last panel of the strip, priceless. Ah, I see Rick pull the whole Orange Soda gag. Funny.

ReCreate · Post by **ReCreate** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:18 am

Indeed.

The last panel is hilarious. XD

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:20 am

Joel underestimated the power of Orange Soda. the fool!

Also, i'm picturing the K-9 unit doing something later on, though not what we would expect XD

Well King surely loosen himself up a bit. Ha. Well this strip made my day. Well the last panel of the comic at least.

Getting an alcohol-like effect from non-alcoholic beverages. Or condiments. It reminded me of that.

Or perhaps Mrs. Pataki's smoothies.

King looks cute shaking himself off in the second panel.

In the last panel he looks like a little kid playing around....

CoffeeJunkie · Post by **CoffeeJunkie** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:25 am

Why does he look a whole lot shorter in the last panel?

He's a corgi. It's a short dog breed.

Maybe Rick censors alcohol for orange soda.

Hmmm, come to think of it, you may be right or on to something.

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:32 am

I have to do this. Its just begging for it.

Who loves orange soda?
Pets love orange soda!
Is it true?
Mmmmmmmhmmmmmmm! They do, they do, they dooo-oooooh.

There I feel much better.

You don't even get it right.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?

I'm teasing--surprised someone else remembers that, though.

Keeshah · Post by **Keeshah** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:34 am

pets are suspectable to a sugar high?

CoffeeJunkie · Post by **CoffeeJunkie** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:35 am

So who thinks will be A) Drunk or B) 'Hungover' in the next strip?

I go with A

Your surprised? I would be surprised if someone who grew up in the 90s (in America anyway) didn't remember that. Man I love that show it was the best.

(I would have put this in my previous post, but the question just came to me.)

This may be a stupid question, but why is Fox hosing down King in the first place?

He had Kibble gravy stuff all over him. From when his water and food spilled.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It slipped my mind I guess, plus you can't really see any of it here. (unless it's on his stomach)

I wonder if Bino is also 'orange soda drunk' and they fight? That or King goes all loopy and silly and hits on Sasha? That or he just makes a fool of himself.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:50 am

If I had to guess, I'd say alcohol is within Rick's range of possibilities, but this way is funnier and less jarring.

Sinder · Post by **Sinder** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:51 am

NO SMOKING

NO DRINKING

NO FUN

Post by **rickgriffin** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:51 am

I have realized that the PG version is funnier anyway

The one thing I really want to happen, either now or the near future, is for King to tell Fox he was the PETA Member who kidnapped him

I would be more surprised if that didn't happen eventually, that's up there with Fido and Sabrina's relationship getting out of stuff that will happen eventually. (I mean its always possible that they won't happen but its just to much of a wasted opportunity.)

I now pronounce you King and Soda.

King signs up for the K-9 Unit while under the influence.
He'll be the Scout.
