Title Text: also it started smelling like raccoons so you might wanna do something about that
Geez, King, why is your mind in the gutter?

Not only was it built in Year 2, we never actually saw King at it. We only learn the builder when she tells Bino..fenrirblack wrote:This is turning out to be a normal King arc
King being extorted, check
King uncomfortable, check
In case you've forgotten about the doghouse since it was back in Year 2 it was built.
I wonder if the plot is going to be King thinks she's coming on to him when she has zero desire to actually get with him then precedes to go into a frenzy to avoid any chance of said hooking up to happen only to realize that it's all in his head.
I, for one, hope Fox will show up for a bit. Not just to see what happened with his eye, but also because we haven’t seen him and King really interacting as friends recently. Not that I think they aren’t friends anymore, just that they haven’t really been able to hang out as often with everything else going on. It would be fun to see them have a little arc together again.dr_eirik wrote:<slips into conspiracy mode> Like, where is Bailey, taking a convalescing Fox to the vet? Will they return onto to have Sasha flip for a husky is an eyepatch and a scar?
I think in this case it was her acting. Seeing how she talked to him and then her sudden shift of tone in the last panel does indicate she is just messing with him.dr_eirik wrote:The real question is, does she know when she does this or is it a bit of an act. I'm not sure Sasha knows anymore.
Makes you wonder if Sasha is actually smarter then we think...CuriousCnidarian wrote:Again, we see how Sasha is more perceptive than she lets on. Common knowledge, perhaps, but I just wanted something to say.

With Sasha, wrists are not usually what draw the observer's gaze.SeanWolf wrote:Some reason, I never noticed them!FoxyBoi wrote:SeanWolf wrote:I just now realize that Sasha has bracelets on (Some reason, I never acknowledged her arms).

Yeah, its the heart on her... sleeve.NHWestoN wrote:

Don't worry I didn't eitherSeanWolf wrote:Some reason, I never noticed them!
She's referring to the doghouse that King aquired then renovated, not long after Pete turned him into a dog.Cesco wrote:Eh, lot of fun...That can sound also like a treat, Sasha.
She's talking about Jessica's home in the forest, right? Sasha has been there recently... There was no one inside? It wasn't made for you, Sasha, and King didn't made it... Why think so?
I agree about the short door entrance, though.
Anyway, it smells of various wild critters now.
I feel like a sit-com entry is coming. King being maximally flustered, Sasha has him in what looks like a compromising position, and then Bailey walks in.JageshemashFTW wrote:Bailey is either going to be very upset with Sasha... Or she’s going to find the whole thing hilarious.
Or she might just join in to make King double-flustered.
I think if he'd somehow fallen for and married Sasha, he'd have been forced to br more dog because she wouldhave pushed him. I also think she'd have driven him mad because he needs a bit more stability.NHWestoN wrote:King and Sasha do make an intriguing pair - she's so loving and eccentric and he's so neurotic and anxious. I'm hoping for an extended story but not a "Fox-gets-his-heart-broken" saga.
Can't remember - has Sasha ever met Kitsune? That'll make King's head spin. Or Daisy shows up and between Sasha and Daisy, King goes into a brain cramp!
Even if she doesn't, Fox probably told King about what happened in the onsen.GameCobra wrote:I admit I got a chuckle out of today's comic - mainly because I have to figure out if King just being paranoid is part of the course of being a dad for him? also - he clearly still thinks Sasha is going to flirt with him.
Sasha has to know she's being sultry.
Rick does like to leave a few "cryptic lines" around - they often get developed much later.dr_eirik wrote:I think if he'd somehow fallen for and married Sasha, he'd have been forced to br more dog because she wouldhave pushed him.

Sasha has never been part of the supernatural stuff in the strip, other than Pete's cryptic line that she was protected, a remark the was never explained.
"Later", in this case, is now over 10 years. "It's a Wonderful Dog's Life" was Christmas 2009. And with Pete now being Craig, it may not even matter anymore.NHWestoN wrote:Rick does like to leave a few "cryptic lines" around - they often get developed much later.dr_eirik wrote:I think if he'd somehow fallen for and married Sasha, he'd have been forced to br more dog because she wouldhave pushed him.

That rather depends on who was protecting her and why, though. If it's not to do with the game, she might have a different heavenly protector.Amazee Dayzee wrote:Pretty sure it doesn't matter anymore simply due to Pete not being a Celestial nor will he be one anytime soon.
This probably belongs in the Headcanons thread, but I always assumed that she was protected by Kitsune, perhaps not specifically but more by the rules. Though its definitely hard to be sure.Amazee Dayzee wrote:That is actually quite true. We don't know how Pete was going to explain it but if Rick wanted it to come out so we would know who or what was keeping Sasha safe, I don't think he would have taken 10 years to reveal it.
I always thought it meant Sasha has a guardian angel of some sort.Welsh Halfwit wrote:That rather depends on who was protecting her and why, though.

No one with a bigger agenda, just some deity who makes sure her life isn't too miserable.
