Or Cory. Maybe his haggles failed?D-Rock wrote:Of course it would be Peanut.
Well, Bino, there goes the chance at prestige. Wonder how Jack ended up after this.
That or no one could find a definite connection between Bino's actions and the Wolf family.MrBlueSky7 wrote:Hey wait a second, something just occurred to me:What exactly did King mean when he said Bino's arrest was "almost" linked back to the Wolf house? Perhaps a certain Ferret intercepted? Or maybe Jack wiped the evidence clean?

To the waitatorium!
I thought at first that was where the feather he got from the eagle went, that the wolves were being double-mean and not letting him keep it even if he got it himself.Xane wrote:And he did ride a bird of prey (I wonder where the feather went tho'...)!
Don't brag, don't lie, don't tell tall tales, just be yourself. Miles said it himself - he'd been crowing about his own awesomeness all the time, and so why should they believe more unbelievable tales?Dissension wrote:I don't understand how this arc is meant to contribute to Bino's development, if it is. What lesson was lain out for Bino,
Well this arc is currently 25 strips long, "Heaven's Not Enough Part 3" was 23 strips long so my best guess is that tomorrow will be the conclusion.MrBlueSky7 wrote:So, how long do Arcs tend to last anyways? I'd really hate to see this one end on such a downer note, and from the looks of it, I'd say we're not too far from that.

I think the biggest punch would've been if Grape got one too. X3Argent wrote:Fido and Spo *both* have feathers.Mickey wrote:Next Panel: Bino is frothing and twitching because Tiger has a feather.
Oh, and Duchess delivers the Aesop.
Why wouldn't she? I would think, if anything, dating Maxie would make her more likely to hang out there, since Maxie is Bino's brother.GameCobra wrote:I think the biggest punch would've been if Grape got one too. X3
That's assuming she still hangs around the dogs club.
How punny. *gets mauled*Frank wrote:Le-gasp! The whole arc has been leading up to an April fools pun!
Bino certainly did overstate his experience. He also experienced and overcame fear. Based on prior strips, Bino's analysis of his olfactory abilities wasn't too far off the mark - he failed the police academy for being undisciplined, not incapable. Granted, this may not previously have involved blindfolds and heavy snow conditions. Bino even set a goal he knew he couldn't reach (and got mocked by Miles) but kinda pulled it off. We don't know that Bino embellished the events in his retelling (though most would certainly bet that way), but we do know he accomplished the challenges set forth by the wolves. He even succeeded at Four-Finger-Discount Jack's mission and ended up getting in hot water and having his collar stolen for the trouble.Obbl wrote:Juxtaposed with this where Bino had done nothing but set himself up for failure so that even when presented with the win by sheer dumb luck it slips through his fingers. That feels well balanced to me where the loss of his new favorite toy does not. (Also it brings up an interesting difference between the universe delivering the comeuppance versus another character delivering the comeuppance.)
I guess I'm starting to become a broken record with this, but I really, truly can't understand how when presented with a character who literally sets up his own failure, one can feel upset when the failure actually occurs. Especially given that most comments with this perspective tend to try shifting the blame to "the universe" (or Rick) exactly as Bino does. I understand Bino not learning his lesson, but have we learned nothing from Bino? Can any light be shed on this?

Bino doesn't win. That's a tenet of this comic. Even when Bino's girlfriend joins a conspiracy to steal his property, Bino is reviled by the comic's fans and beaten by Fox. Bino may be acting somewhat cruelly in this example, but I'm not sure anyone would respond very differently in the circumstances depicted.
Bino has major insecurities and they're completely justified.
