Heh, cute! Good to see him back to being King for now. Now I'm imagining when King and Bailey get back together.

KING: Bailey!
Bailey: King!

*run towards each other and hug/snuggle*

Bailey: ...... Are you taller now?
King: *sly smile* Maybe just a little.

I like where the comic is going.
Will King get to see his old pets in heaven, the ones that kidnapped him as a child and played a part in how his life turned out?

I guess he would be able to say if he forgives them or not.

We don't know what happened to them. They could still be alive, if Joel's in his 20s as he looks to me.

I would say he looks like late 20's or early 30's. Or maybe even 36?

Heaven is always a very good place, great opportunity. ;) Our cute corgi is back, a so consistent choice! :D But, it's only for all the time he's in Heaven, let's hope for after... :|
Oh Fox, you always keep your eyes on King, but this time you have a point to have noticed that. I bet King wasn't going to say it intentionally. ;) The occasion let him take advantage to do it, that's the other choice justification. :P

Well, of course, now that you mention it. I thought it was obvious, but then I grew up with Rod Serling commenting on my every thought and action. Alfred Hitchcock, too, for that matter. They made playtime rather dull -- I didn't ever want to upset them!

But of course, here it's the Housepets! Zone...

But if he were to justify it, I guess it was for the longer legs? I can't imagine scaling a sky high staircase with stubby ones!

Also love how Cerberus' upper body protrudes from the cloud level. Its kinda weird though, does this mean she's grown taller as well, to follow King and Fox? But knowing that this is heaven, they're probably just perceiving her to be there. She's probably still at ground level playing with Peanut. Yeah, I'll go with that theory.

I suppose being a member of that crew makes one (more or less, anyway) omnipotent. omniscient and omnipresent (om, om, om!) And all is illusion with the Heavenly Gamers. I suppose if she wanted to, Cerbs could be upstairs talking to King and Fox, while being downstairs playing with Peanut -- simultaneously. This bunch certainly seems to like a Peanut Butter Sandwich; he 'discovered' Pete, now he's met Cerberus, and let us not forget the affair (* ahem *) with Dragon...

In Stephen Brust's "Jhereg" series a deity is defined as a being that has the ability to be in more than one place at the same time.

As Cerb was saying her speech, I couldn't help but hear Rod Sterling's voice.

As to the 'height' of Cerb, she could be floating, while the mortals have to climb. ("Your mind makes it real...) Also, I wouldn't say that Cerb could split her consciousness (although it's split already 8-) ) but like Marty McFly, she could occupy the same timeline more than once.

Is violence allowed in HP heaven? I could picture JoeKing freaking/lashing out when he sees them, if they're there. However, it would also be neat to see them approach him with a formal apology before he has the chance.

To all those who are assuming that JoeKing will revert to Joel when he leaves heaven I ask this: how do you know that "Da Judge" won't grant JoeKing the opportunity to remain as King? I thought one of the reasons that JoeKing wanted to go there in the first place was to get someone to help him get his dogmanity(?) back.

And we still don't know what the actual challenge will be... Since Pete is now relying on brute strength (maybe...the armor looked that way) the challenge might be actual physical combat. But then again, it might be something like a game of Connect Four...or checkers...or Twister...or Monopoly...or Copyright Infringement (the game)...or it might be "The Game" (I lost) itself...

Oh, and King is now King-Sized! (like a candy bar) :mrgreen:

It would certainly be nice to see, but if Heaven is of the beholder's mind, how would he ever know if they were real? I suppose Fox is real enough, but still... the way Cerb says it would make for confusion. Probably just for me. X3

So you like the idea of the multiverse? Do you know anything about quantum physics or any of the subjects related to other universes? I am actually doing a little research on my own, in an attempt to come up with an idea to create a wormhole, but I'm a biology major, not a physicist... Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on the matter?

This isn't really the topic for that discussion. ;)
You might take that to the Chat Thread where anything and everything is the topic. Or make your own thread in the Not the Comic section.
Welcome to the forums :D That sounds like a topic I could maybe half keep up with. :lol:

Great job Rick. Great shot on the stairs.
And this one really highlights that the consistency with heights has been really great.
For reference in Here Come Da Bride, King's head comes up to about Fox's shoulder. Here it comes up to about Fox's nose :lol:

I'm fairly certain that none of us would be rationalized by reality transition into woodland predators. Also, while I do not eat much meat anyway, I do recall that the cows and fish of the HP universe have been officially stated to be like their equivalents in this one, so eating some kinds of meat would not have additional immorality attached.

The point being that they could plausibly have any sort of dead/alive/otherwise status.

To be fair, technically Grape was the one lead to Pete, with Peanut being in a dream Pete sent her.

There's been at least one chicken that seems sapient, and people eat rabbit. And all we know about cows is that the horse considers them "blithering idiots". The cow in the "farm" arc seems annoyed by Grape's antics.

I suppose I anticipated having to move the discussion sooner or later, but I wanted to start here since this is where the original post about the multiverse was... I think I'll start that thread now.
