Housepets!

I can't stop laughing
Oh my god, panel 6 is the best XD

I would have been completely fine with a malicious scheme designed to undermine and humiliate King, but this...

Understatement of the century.

Hahah wow, haven't giggled out loud like that 'cause of a comic in a while. XP

SO MANY GIGGLES. OH MY GOSH.

I approve wholeheartedly of this new development.

Also, I got a new avatar. And as much I would hate to shun all the work CaptainPea put into my last one, I am quite pleased with my new one. :3

I would totally make that panel 6 my avatar but I'm too lazy to change it :I oh well.

How certain are we that the real Rick is still among us?

I won't deny that this is very funny.

But...

...Just wow. Isn't that kinda past rating?

Oh, no denying it is hilarious! I loved the 5th and 6th panels.

This is just such a departure from the norm.... kind of took me by surprise!

In all honesty, I wouldn't say this is above the rating any more than your standard Warner Brothers cartoon from back in the day (I say 'back in the day' as if I'm actually old; haha).

Reminds me of Nabi from There She Is!!

Okay stop.

This only touches the PG line. Seriously. I could name several dozen Saturday morning cartoons where this could or has occurred. Want me to start?

(Every Warner Brothers cartoon up to and including Animaniacs.)

I can name shows outside of Saturday Morning!

It isn't above rating, just kind of unusual for this usually G comic that is rated PG. Just took me by surprise.

Miles is an awesome pack leader.

Actually I would like that. I don't mean that in some sort of snarky way, I'm actually curious. I mean, worse has been suggested ("No no no! Fingerprints!"), but this straightforward?

Minerva Mink. Look it up.

This is kind of pushing the P.G. rating thing.
I had a similar reaction Monday with the whole mention of the "love whip" reference. What do you guys think it meant?

OHH SNAP

There is a reason there is so little cartoons of her you know. Parents complained.

Geez guys lighten up a bit, the joke is relly quite tame

I for one think this arc is hilarious

Yes. Yes this straightforward. This would be MILD for Animaniacs.

That's what you're reacting to, is G to PG whiplash. Pun intended.

Go for it.
"Rick Griffin calls to the stand..."

I find this hilarious and fully within the established rating.it's only pushing the rating because of our knowledge. anyone who shouldn't see things above the rating won't see anything above the rating.

and I love panel 6. I think this will be a new reaction image to be used often on the forums.

It's the pink implement Duchess is holding (that isn't handcuffs). That's what I thought "love whip" meant.

i don't know what the big deal is, we already knew king was whipped

see what i did there

mission accomplished sir.

Alright, fine. I guess a little kid won't get why this is creepy anyway...

Hmmm... sure looks like it, though.

If, for some ungodly reason, someone decides to make a shipping banner of these two, that is the perfect picture for it.

And cue Ren & Stimpy Show

I think Diss meant that of the two implements she is holding, the "love whip" is the one that is not the handcuffs and is quite clearly a whip.

No offense to Rick, but I think the reactions in this thread are currently competing with the comic for my giggles.

RootsofOrigin wrote:And cue Ren & Stimpy Show

That's hardly a children's show though.

KJOokami wrote:No offense to Rick, but I think the reactions in this thread are currently competing with the comic for my giggles.

That is perfectly fine.

Welp, there sure was a reaction tonight!

I can't wait until Friday! Will we see King running to Fox?

I must know....

Best King face i ever seen and it was worth it (Hint: He's human). That, and seeing Miles reading the newspaper while all of this is happening like he's King's dad makes it even funnier X3

The only thing i wanted to say about the topic of rating is this: crap gets past the radar all the time on television and movies, but it's only because they aren't explicit about it some of the times. Ren and Stimpy and Rocco's modern life are good examples.

Sleet wrote:That's hardly a children's show though.

And yet it was considered one because most kids didn't get the jokes. It was just funny because it was much more different at the time. they even did kitty litter scooping, but with lesser detail.

Oh, alright.

I got a chuckle out the last three panels myself. Certainly a twist from the start of the arc.

and I think King may be temporarily blind.

I second that.

copper wrote:I can't wait until Friday! Will we see King running to Fox?

Ooooooh, good point. I suppose he must have somewhere in mind to run to "very quickly". Fox would make the most sense.

That's pretty much what I was gonna say. The only reason I didn't watch the show right along with every other cartoon in that time block (right after kids got home from school, by the way) is because my parents didn't like the show. I never saw anything wrong with it when I was younger. Same with Rocco's Modern Life, Aaah! Real Monsters, Angry Beavers, and others.
