If heaven is what you make it, King just made it a bit smaller.

LOVE Fox's coolness.

The choice is called, between Dog and Man,
on the way up the stairway to Heaven.
Seeing his friend 'pfff' back as only he can,
Fox's calm is dialled up to eleven.
He's calm and he's cool; unflappable too,
taking these new things in stride.
Only one question comes, right from the blue
as he notes the size he's beside.
After being on the stubby legged adventure
who wouldn't want to be taller?
After all that he's going to fight indenture
and he wants to be able to impress her...
Their Bailey's the goal of them both,
to love, protect and defend.
From here and now, showing their growth,
until this game does end.

Lets all take time to realize that King has only returned for the amount of time they remain in heaven. :(

Actually? I don't think he is. I think that's just how people are going to see him whilst he's up there (including himself) It's kind of like the 'Holographic clothes' idea from last years Doctor Who Christmas special, where everyone thought the Doctor and Clara were wearing clothes and they weren't...

Fortunately, that season, if not the episode, has reached netflix for rewatching.

As soon as he gets back, we're back to Joel. Rather fast decision to turn into King for this, really. And I guess when you've spent most of you adult life around six feet tall, you would want to remain as close to that as you can.

Or using a reaching cane. It would suck if it ever got lost.

Fox is an Island of Calm in a choppy Ocean of Insanity.

He does seem to have gotten used to this whole thing apparently. Gotta love that husky. So resilient.

Wow, King used to be shoulder length(including ears), and now he's nose length(without ears)! King V.2! Wait... Will he become Short again when the whole issue is over? I hope not, I like his new size.

Is it just me, or does the lip piercing on the left head of Cerberus make it look like she is sucking on a pacifier?

I dunno...his shortness makes for extra snuggability, after all.

That scene right there is why i love King. He has the upbring of a human and can thus project emotions and opinions most dogs dont share. Thats the real Joel Robinson talking through that muzzle, not the bitter jaded person he grew up to be, but the protective child who only knew how to give love to his pets.

...and so after 4 weeks and 3 days, King returned to his canine form with a slight increase in height, and there was much rejoicing.

*yay yay*

Joel should have made himself Cerberus sized so less stairs to climb.

Cerberus is like a reverse mullet: business in the center, party on the sides. :P

King should've kept Bailey's scarf, though.

I don't think he could really imagine himself as being both a dog and taller than Fox.

But why does everyone look so serious in this comic?
King's got his reasons, but it's still a change from how I felt he was acting pre-stairs.
And in general, all three seem to be skeptical of each other (I'm ignoring the two extra Cerebus-heads. Right now they seem to be amused observers more so than active participants. Which makes sense, given the role they're playing at the moment)

I think the first panel ought to explain things. =)

King had to become human to show the truth to both Fox and Bailey!
And now that truth has been told he can be a dog again!

Only a matter of time before Cerberus challenges these two to Tetris Attack ~ Story Mode.

I don't see the difference that much. Can't wait to do a side-by-side comparison with Tarot. X3

I think Fox is just calmly waiting out what he perceives as a dream/nightmare so he can wake up in the morning, go to King, see Bailey safe and sound and say " King, you'll never believe the dream I had last night..."

For some reason the last panel reminds me of Kirk and Spock, maybe the way Fox is walking with his arms behind his back' somewhat Spockishly.

"Did you make yourself taller, Captain?"
"I don't have to justify all my choices, Mr Spock!"
