i SO wish Rick gave us a Sunday strip just for this arc. The weekend is too long to stand!

Well, the cat's certainly out of the bag now...

Arg! Now I remember King is not allowed to revel his true name! It was one of the rules for keeping the watch!

Is he allowed to call up an episode of MST3k on YouTube and point madly at the screen?

Bailey: "Your human name was Clayton Forrister?"
King: (face palm).

Well it's out now though Bailey doesn't seem to want to accept it just yet. While King may not be able to reveal his human name I do wonder if he'll be allowed to drop hints that could allow Bailey or certain others (assuming she talks to them about this) to figure it out.

Bailey, I was a man
tried to take Fox one day
Then Pete showed and turned me this way
Bailey, oooOoooOOOoooo,
I don't want to go back
But this plot is out of whack
Carry on, carry on, as nothing really mattered

*ahem* panel 1 contradicts such statement

I wonder if Kings missing ring, was left out by mistake or some sort of hint.

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2014 7:49 am**

Okay, I can think of at least 3 better ways that could be emphasized

This won't end well

...poor King

He's naked (collarless) he can go without the ring for a bit

'Cause when the roof caved in (thanx to Pete) and the truth came out, Bailey didnt know what do...harshness of reality hasn't sunk in yet..now sit back, and watch

Frank, try and go back to Heraldic Majesty, there you can barely see he has his ring on, and if you go back just one more you can clearly see it on his finger,i doubt he would take it off himself.

A few moments ago, he still had it.

OOooh, this is getting better and better!
Good show Rick!

I'll admit though, I don't see a favorable end to this unless we see some loophole or outside intervention.I mean:
King stays dog: They both become beholden to the blue one, possibly battling friends to fight in the cosmic game?
King becomes Joel: Maybe Pete hot air balloons off but then relationship w Bailey gets SUPER awkward.

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2014 9:45 am**

Best outcome: Bailey accepts it, King and Bailey tell Pete to shove off, and Pete turns out to have been bluffing or Kitsune lets King use his boon to stay a dog.

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2014 9:47 am**

Forgot to mention how adorable Bailey is looking today. From the way her eyes look serious in the first panel and way she just sits down and gives up in the last panel, everything about her today is just adorable. X3

my vote is on the best outcome!
And yes, Bailey is TOTALLY adorabobble, but that's her standard.

Oh... YIKES! King, sometimes the best choice is to keep thy trap SHUT!

But, since you said something, here's a few possible results:

1) Bailey really can't believe it; King remains a Corgie; Pete is punished for his actions.

2) Bailey *does* believe it, but she's so happy, she doesn't care one way or the other.

3) Bailey screams in disgust at the thought that they did or could have or were planning to... fainting dead away, never to remember this evening as but a weird nightmare.

4) Pete changes King back to Human form, and Bailey runs away in fright, etc..

5) Pete changes King back to a Human form, and Bailey yells out "I WANT A DIVORCE!... AND CHILD SUPPORT!"

6) The Dallas "Bobby Ewing" moment to Pam.. "It's all a dream!"

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2014 4:05 pm**

Bailey got upset, she can be really dangerous, and somebody already knows how.

Keep taking over Pete! But, there it is, King's frustration made the truth come out, but that's the worst way to tell it, looks like you're delirious... Now, probably Pete is going to take the word about that, giving his version of the truth (maybe also under Bailey's force).

Unfortunately for you, Bailey, you're already awake.

Can't wait to see what's going to happen.

7) Pete changes Both King and Bailey into humans.

8) Pete lets King stay a dog, and changes Bailey into a human, just because he's Pete.

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2014 4:12 pm**

It has been shown how deeply King loves Bailey(& vice versa), so most likely she accept the fact that he used to be human and they will keep their relationship going.

Now, the real problem is how King is going to explain this to Fox. Despite the fact that Joel(King) tried to kidnap Fox, King has developed a really close friendship with him and is therefore afraid of telling Fox for risk of losing his best friend.

P.S. Everyone gets a I-Can't-Believe-Its-Not-Chocolate cream pie. Warning: The has a tendency to lie.

For Bailey it would certainly explain a lot... For Fox... Less so.

Heh, guess I need to go back and reread some of the older strips.

Shouldn't that be

I'm just a corgi
Nobody loves me...

Heck, that's a better rhyme than the original!

I could have wrote that, but the "he's just a poor, though he looks like a corgi." part would not have made an iota of sense.

Also, the original song made a rhyme with "boy" and "family", along with "me" and "monstrosity", so I don't see how your version is more fitting.

Anyone want to bet it has something to do with PAWNCH or BOOT TO THE HEAD

You don't need no credit card to ride this train. Choo choo.

What worries me about the suddenness of King's admittance is the fact that it implies that Pete already has a stranglehold on King- he's basically a sitting duck now.
