Sorry. xD Had to edit the post a couple of times because I forgot to keep it PG for a second.

Anyway, it's a webcomic written and drawn by an artist with the pen-name "Chu". In one of the pages where we learn more about the angelic culture in that universe, one of the examples of "swearing" in their language was using the phrase, when translated, "you son of a charming young woman".

Though, we also have King using the line back in 2011 during the Not All Dogs arc.

Wait, did Chu borrow that from me or was that just a coincidence?

Huh...so he did. Good memory. I completely forgot about that. xD

Pretty sure it was just coincidence - it's a decent, funny way to avoid a swear. I'd have to look for the page itself, compare dates, and (assuming you made the quote first) ask the artist herself to really get to the bottom of it though.

I can just picture Sabrina dragging Fido along to temporarily be a part of the Imaginate troupe during his three week leave.

Now that you mention it, I can to and that would be awesome. ^^ Fido joining the Imaginate troupe.

SD Page 553 @ October 31st 2012, vs. HP #42 Not All Dogs: Did it Hurt @ May 2nd 2011. Considering the large gap, I'm going to guess coincidence.

Ah...and it seems I was mistaken, as well. It was "you son of an ugly woman" in SD. Sorry about that.

Yup, 553. October 31, 2012

Plus, it looks like it isn't the same quite anyways. "Son of a charming young woman" here on Housepets (from King), and "Son of an ugly woman" on SD.

Oops, little slow on my part. Oh well, mistakes were made, and fixed. All is well in the world.

was what I was thinking of, but i'll take a gander at SD, Thanks max!

Ralph, I think that this can be applied in your case, all Im saying is that there is something in your face

I love how supportive Ralph is in his own deadpan way. I have a police officer for an uncle and a cousin (not the uncle's son) who pretty much had this same conversation after he 'came out of the closet' so to speak. 'If it ain't illegal, It ain't a problem.' He would say.

That's how the cookies crumble, Fido. That's how the cookies crumble.

Oh myy. xD

Wow, everyone seems to react with even less surprise than I expected!

Even though Ralph has always been pretty professional, I still find it strange that he is behaving so professionally in a private conversation with Fido.

Weren't they best buddies? Why does is Ralph so distant, then?

At any rate, it's not over until the fat lady sings....... or the word "end." appears in the strip.

So everything's OK on Fidos side (All's well that ends well) Now I can't wait to see Jata again

I love the ambiguity of Ralph's statement about saving bruises and paperwork: it may either mean that the K9U could have helped Fido or stopped him before he even showed up at the wedding. True fair cop^^

I don't completely agree. There are just somethings that everyone are afraid to share with their inner most circle of friends and etc. Heck I have ONLY ONE true friend and I'm afraid to tell him things like that I'm a Brony and a furry. Because I don't know what will happen. I've known him since the first grade in 1999 and we both graduated high school back in 2011. We've been best friends for over a decade and I'm afraid of telling him things about me he doesn't even know. Out of fear of what will happen, this is how I feel that Fido felt like.

Not quite sure what you're talking about, though :U

Well, it was exactly 6 months ago that Pete gave his one year ultimatum to King. We're halfway there people!

Now he has to deal with everyone else's questions on the subject.

Why's he look so down? Three weeks seems like a slap on the wrist, honestly.

He's 'down' because he now knows fully that he let Ralph and the squad down.

AND he's got a stain on his curriculum. AND he still got to suffer Bino's taunts for a long time to come. AND there's still the matter with Jata.

Hard to believe that THIS has finally fully come out. And incidentally, I totally FORGOT that Grape and Peanut already knew. Go figure!

Huh...now that I look at this page and the current one back-to-back, it's interesting to see how much the styling has changed in that five-year gap.

Yay! Kevin's back!

Oh...six months 'tll he's human again.

I don't think we need Tarot to know bad times are coming for Fido and Sabrina

Ralph was BORN professional
But seriously, he's definitely one dog to have certain priorities. But his speech, formal as it was, sounded of friendship in its own way.

Acritic2 wrote:I don't think we need Tarot to know bad times are coming for Fido and Sabrina

Not necessarily. Sure, Bino will enjoy torturing his brother out of the Club (provided Fido has not become a true hero for the pool stunt by then), but now Fido can love Sabrina without any fears for his job as cop anymore. PLUS, he may get to become best buddy with Peanut and Grape, yay!^^

Kevin was too busy chiseling Maxwell into a mighty stone god!

I wonder if we'll see a Mighty, Marble-muscled, Moggy Maxwell soon? (Marble stone, not Marble toy)

Hukley wrote:So everything's OK on Fidos side (All's well that ends well) Now I can't wait to see Jata again

I wouldn't say that so quickly. He still has Fox and Bino to deal with, and Rick hasn't said this is the end yet.

I'm surprised Ralph's okay with it. In fact, it almost sounds like he wishes Fido had told him sooner.

I somehow like Fido's expressions in this one.

And oh Kevin

Is Kevin just trying to awkwardly show support... Or has he got a little secret of his own?

And Kevin steps in to save the day!

Alsok is that around Ralph's eye a bruise, a lump, or stitches?

Can't elaborate much since typing this on a phone, but regardless of if the arc is over or not...I think I'm actually a bit disappointed. Just seems too convenient that nothing, it seems, is going to happen; excepting three weeks of leave (reward?) Fido doesn't really have to face any consequences. There is probably more in store and I may be getting ahead of myself with this, but what about Fox and Fido? The GDC? And exactly when was it implied that Ralph had been monitoring/observing Fido like this?

Will write more later, I did enjoy the comic really!

Hera Ledro wrote:And exactly when was it implied that Ralph had been monitoring/observing Fido like this?

Implied for quite sometime now. =3

Always knew this was the kind of response Ralph would take.

Oh, and continuing from my post before...

https://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/08/18/in-bed/

GRAGH! I FINALLY found the first reference to her drowning, as well.

Rick. My man. How the HECK do you plan something that far in advance? I don't even know what i'm going to draw a DAY from now!

Well these guys seemed to have reacted okay. But now for the rest...

This strip makes me wonder if Ralph is some kind of robot or something. I get that he was suspicious, but he seems so... hollow...
Don't get me wrong; I think he's a good character and has good morals. I just don't see any compassion or emotions. (except his anger when he flipped out at the wedding...)

I really don't get Kevin's question. It could be my headache messing with me, but the "chasing" doesn't make sense. (man, my head feels like I've been hit for real...)
Is it that Kevin is assuming Fido likes Sabrina for the exercise?

He's clearly a no-nonsense sort of police dog that takes his work seriously. It's a pretty understandable character, the way I see it.

No, no... he's referencing the trope of dogs chasing cats. He's always been a bit "simple," so he doesn't quite understand what a strange romance like Fido's and Sabrina's would entail.

Not to mention, didn't Rick posted a drawing on facebook of Tarot that sorta hints that Fido and Sabrina are going to be okay?

Ralph's black eye makes him look really mad for some reason.

Yes, and also Kevin...

I don't think that Fox really has such a big problem with Fido's relationship with Sabrina. Him not liking 'catlovers' was just following Bino in the past. Probably he will fine with the relationship itself, if he thinks about it, and he has had a little time already. There will be a bigger problem with the fact that Fido didn't inform him earlier.
King will have a similar problem with Fox in the future. Wonder when this secret will be revealed.
