Finally questions have been answered. They are at the Wolf House. Still don’t know what Lana’s text was about since again its the Wolves who are doing the hosting not King unless Lana specifically meant for King to “babysit” Sasha.

The great TABOO! Mentioning King’s former human status. Which Bailey just admitted it in front of Sasha. Is that okay? Did she know? She seems like the type who would know by now.

King is exhausted. And Sasha is using big words. Good for her. It’s nice to see that under all that hot air there is a foundation of natural fear and dread that comes from being thrusted into a entirely new world with nothing but your instinct and an elaborate support group of different animals to help you.

Is this a King arc anymore? Now that we apparently have “GRRRLS Night Out” happening. I can see it more like Save the Date and switching between the two in a braided structure but still doesn’t explain the title. Or we could stick with King trying to figure out how to manage having Sasha live in such close proximity. As far as rooms go, Natalie’s room would be the obvious choice.

He’s even bored when desperate,
our beset, young, Pembroke Corgi;
explaining all to Mister Miles
whilst trying not to sound dorky.
The Wolves will help her to forget
but there’s little such help for him;
his torture’s in the temptation,
happiness has never been so grim.
Bailey might just calm him back down;
she knows of some tricks of the tongue
and she knows that, when worrying,
it means her task has just begun.

Natalie is the obvious roommate, but Sasha ending up hugging King like a stuffed toy is never impossible.

I kinda think we are going to follow Sasha. I suspect there is a non-zero chance shes going to meet someone either known to us or not that will pursue her.

It seemed to me like it was said at a volume that only King would hear and it was after Sasha and Natalie left. Of course, there's literally no way to confirm this as it's just one panel, but I'd put money on it.

I get the feeling King is employed as the House manager for Wolf House. (Or the janitor)

Well, at least whatever happens with Sasha in the next few comics won’t come back on King now. Though I can only imagine what kind of trouble Natalie will get her into.

Being alone without her "daddy" maybe? I love the lick too, she is trying to reassure poor King.

Maybe the realisation that she is her own, maybe dealing with insecurities if she can really make it on her own since she did rely on her owner to provide her with food and all. Not that I think she will really end up on her own, but maybe it's something like that.

I hope we see how their girl's night out goes. I could imagine it's pretty funny. Natalie and Sasha have more or less clashing personalities, let's see how this works out :lol:

You don't have to worry King. I'm sure Natalie does this often even if it is by herself. Because of that, I think you would have heard on the news by now that Natalie ha sbeen arrested for a massacre around where Babylon Gardens is. xD

Bailey's letting King's old status slip,
Now King's train of thought is just a blip
And he has no idea what he should do
'Cause he's found his thoughts have all turned to goo.

King finally admits he needs a hand,
Well, honestly, that's really grand
Now they're all on the mend
As good luck comes 'round the bend.

Sasha finally gets a chance to change things up,
Honestly, she's quite a lucky pup,
King's just hoping he won't lose his head
'Cause Nat says she wants to paint the town red.
--

What does that mean, anyways?

From the quick three-second research...To 'paint the town red' is to engage in a riotous spree

Yeah, she's going to stay with them for a while, nice that the wolves are ready to host someone new (probably they're forced, too, in the same way like is for King :P). :D Oh, cheer up, King! ;) Nice, Sasha and Natalie are suddenly friends, and they get along together. :) But, I hope that Sasha won't understand to literally paint Babylon Garden in red... :P Yeah, I agree with your wife, silly corgi, and enjoy life! :D

If they’re planning a night on the town, it’d be neat if they ran into Marion & Lois on a date or just hanging out somewhere.
With the right community, getting into a webcomic at the beginning of a brand new arc can feel just as enjoyable and rewarding as being there from the beginning.

Moving on from that I bet what Natalie and Sasha do is pretty tame like go out and see a movie or dancing and King as usual is just finding new and interesting reasons to be paranoid. LOL

Under normal circumstances, sure. But these two are known in the neighborhood and I'm sure Natalie hunts as much as the rest of the pack (read: Not at all) . At worst, I could see a moment of stunned silence.

A lady like Natalie wouldn't use her claws in such an unbecoming manner.

She'd use her teeth.
