[2018/09/26 - Throw Her To The Wolves]
Title Text: PLEASE, YOU ARE REALLY HEAVY

FINISH HER!

Looks like they're both going into the pit.

Okay, this is strange moment. I mean we couldn’t go ahead and have the next scene. And what is Miles saying a greater pur...purpose? Seriously though that last scene.

On a lighter note, Miles looks so fierce in the third scene. He like “I am the Champion. All shall bow before the Alpha!”

Omg his eyes theyre blue! We haven’t seen irises in so long! I missed irises.

Is...is Miles suffering a bit of PTSD right now?

Like is it just me or is he having a moment based on the way his eyes look? Remembering something painful?

Sometimes you throw the ball
and sometimes it throws itself;
desiring to be off the wall;
desiring to be off the shelf.
Miles turns the tables on Gale,
putting himself to the task.
Never thinking it may fail;
never thinking what she’ll ask.
Poncho’s ready to catch her
if she falls into the pit.
Thinking that she’ll purr.
Thinking that she’s really fit...

Ok so, we're all going to the pit now. Pueblo, it's up to you to save them!

And Poncho’s like “Do it!”

Fun animal fact Female Cougars weight up to 64 – 140 lbs

Honestly it’s hard to tell but either they’re both going in the pit or just Miles. Like I can see Gale latching to the edge while Miles hits the dirt and she pulls herself up to stare them all wickedly. If that happened maybe it will finally be King’s turn to be the hero. Ninja skills activate!

*Gasp* Could it be? Miles has eye color! But seriously, what was Miles's plan after his speech? Just set her down and assume Gale will accept his dominance? Even is Gale gets into the pit one way or another, the rest of the pack doesn't seem like they want a fight to the death any more then Miles did. The kidnapping doesn't seem grevious enough to warrant ripping her to shreds. Besides, any wolf would have to go through North Star and Poncho. Is that why Miles doesn't want her to fall, to spare her from getting nuzzled to death.

I believe I am the Champion here. It does say that in my name.

No, you're just the Champion of Wallaces. Miles is the champion of Wolves and he's finally showing it.

Thank you.

This scene is very strange. He wants peace and harmony or whatever with her but she is so emotional right now that he literally has to force her to listen to reason. Your right though about no one wants to fight her. They're all probably so exhausted by this entire ordeal that they're like "Please don't. We just to go home. We are so over the woods and the wild. You are a terrible alpha!"

Yeah, but only because Steven stepped down.

I really like this side of Miles, he is super strong and yet wants to resolve things peacefully. I guess we see why he is the Alpha of the pack, it's not just because of strength.

Nah, it's implied that Gale is leaning forward and going to fall the pit down and Miles doesn't want that.

He just wants to fighting to stop. Miles still sees Gale as an old friend and doesn't want to hurt her. I think the only one, who would really try to stop everyone would be Poncho, but I guess the other wolves would just knock her out, but like I said Miles doesn't want more fighting.

Flashback time!

Conflict resolution, here we come! ?

"Gale, we both know that I can overpower you!"

Very nice, given how Miles chose to name himself:

That page also explains Lucretia's name, and with that comes implications I don't want to think about.

Gale just instinctively *knows* the Evil Overlord List.

Have dogs, can confirm.

I guess Lucretia chose her name from the knowledge of Miles' books, but where did Miles get those books from?

Drop her Miles, just flat out drop her. She's a cat, so even if she doesn't get the time to spin around and land properly she is still feline flexible. Even if she falls flat on her back she won't be hurt. The sudden drop and change in tactics might shock her out of her rage. Of course once she's over the indignity of the drop the rage may return, but it could open a window for proper dialog.

At this point i'm not sure what her true motives even are. Is she trying to get hurt? she hasn't hurt him or his family despite having clear opportunity to do so. She seems upset that he isn't trying harder to hurt her and seems to be trying to have it happen... Yet shes also putting her kid at risk if she gets hurt...

Yay! Eye colors are back in the last two panels! Keep up the streak, Rick - see how many more you can go! =3

I think this strip was inspired by real life events because Rick is not having a good week. Rick you are loved. Remember that.

Woah, that has been a great move, Miles. Yeah, it wouldn't be nice to face more wolves angry against you, Gale (except for Poncho ). But, she is looking for it now... Both are surely going to fall in the pit! I wonder what's this greater purpose Miles was talking about... You're always so wise, Miles.

So... no one's getting out without Pueblo's help?

Gale's not trying to get Miles to hurt her. She's trying to get him to fight back. If he won't defend himself, she feels less like she's getting justice and more like she's just a bully. As for what's happening right now, she's trying to get Miles to let her go. If he tries to catch her, he'll be close and have his guard down.

I know I dismissed it before, but I had a thought: Maybe you're right. We saw in one of the flashbacks how Miles was talking to her while she was sewing a wound in her face and before that we found out that Gale fell down a cliff, but got back up again. Maybe Gale and Miles had a fight like this before and this is how she got her scar? It could be it has something to do with that.

When you try and be merciful to prove a point but your enemy starts calling your bluff...

If he falls in that pit and she doesn't....

I bet Gale is planning to make her and Miles fall together , but her will success to grab the ground and will go out of the pit
