I think Mungo would be a great babysitter.

And like that I have the vision of Mungo play-tossing one of the pups into the air and sending them half-way into orbit.

Holy throne, we both had DBZ Abridged in mind? How crazy is that?

But yes, exactly like that.

King’s been holding out for a hero
And now one’s happened by.
One who, if she knew he existed,
Would surely be Natalie’s guy.
The wondrous dog of helping,
With chaos powers of his own;
He’s like the pups with power
He’s like the Wolves; full grown.
He might be good as back up
But shouldn’t be put in charge
Unless you want a hole for a door
And to find the pups at large.

What we need in a future arc is a rare opportunity for Mungo to cut loose, and show us just how powerful he really is.

I swear this only happens 15-20 times a day.

He wants to help so bad! It's adorable.

Tappy Too · Post by **Tappy Too** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 1:51 am

Mungo's still qualified, right? As long as he can take care of the pups without touching them, it'll be fine... Right?

"I swear, this only happens with doors...and tables...and pens...and...well...everything inanimate, really."

Poor Mungo.

ChekeBello · Post by **ChekeBello** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 2:05 am

C'mon King, Fox can tell testimony that Mungo could be really gentle!

Tbh I didn't think of Mungo as the Sitter, but now, I hope that if that doesn't happen this arc, we can see some other time >w<

but he can never allow himself to lose control, even for a moment, or someone could die

I don't think King could take it. He's not a big man.

I feel like Mungo would make a great babysitter!
....As in sitting on the kids. To crush them. Flat.

He's gentle with the living. Not necessarily with inanimate objects.

Suddenly I'm imagining a lot of dead baby jokes.

As gentle as an avalanche.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 5:51 am

I didn't get the impression from the previous strips that he was this clumsy. He was quite capable of using a scooter and police radio without breaking anything.

Maybe he is overexcited

Well King, maybe you shouldn't just sit around and wait for the perfect babysitter, you know enough people.
Better stand up and search for yourself.

It probably takes constant conscious concentration (try saying that 5 times fast) to control his strength. When he's exited, flustered, just not thinking about it, whatever, that's when the tables get broken and the doors come off their hinges.

Kinda leads back to the "World of Cardboard" speech we were paraphrasing earlier, which fits Mungo perfectly.

MUNGO!!!
I'm so happy he's back!

HellishK9 · Post by **HellishK9** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 7:34 am

You tried your best, Mungo. That's all that matters right?
May I suggest a diet change similar to the one Kevin took?

I feel sorry for Mungo.

Adoring Fan · Post by **Adoring Fan** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 1:42 pm

*Sigh*

Why did they have to spoil this line with that character. Put scrappy down rick, its for the best..

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 1:49 pm

I'm pretty sure you're in the minority by a wide margin with that opinion, Fan.

Mungo is here to stay, and the series is better for it IMHO.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 2:33 pm

Eeeeh! Mungo is back (for a while

)!

So, he really wants to try to become a pup sitter, just for this time and when he's not in service.

Ehm, looks like you're using too much gentleness, Mungo, aren't you?

Of course, King, he's really qualified and has lot of qualities, but I bet you changed idea after all the damages he's doing in so little time.

But maybe, this comic page says the truth: he's really gentle, with only living creatures.

Will King find the perfect one for him?

Very much so. Although, if I were able to say one thing directly, it would to be cautious on the repeated use of the Strength gag. The character moved past that in his introduction arc.

...Because this line and scene were made with Mungo in mind? This scene would literally not work for any character besides Mungo, it's kind of his thing.

Possible, I will even admit that had he not been introduced in that specific arc i probably wouldn't mind him. That being said i can dislike mungo all i want, feel free to have your own opinion.

Respect and civility go a long way. Everyone is allowed to discuss what they do and don't like about the comic and respond to what others like and dislike, so long as discussion remains within the bounds of our guidelines.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 8:55 pm

...Anybody know which one of us he's talking to? I honestly can't tell.

Eenyhoo...

Fair enough, I just didn't think implying the character should get axed was called for.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Mon Feb 06, 2017 8:57 pm

Man, poor Mungo. His hopes of helping people - crushed by a pen. and a table.

Also, how is King going to do auditions without a table now? =P

I'm not sure either but i think it was meant as just a general comment.
