I have a feeling this upcoming arc involves King.

Edit: Nope. It apparently involves Bino and Sasha.

actually, judging by the image he tweeted a few days ago, I think it'll be a Spot arc.

Edit: nope. Bino and Sasha.

The actual Tweet for reference I wonder how he thinks he is going to make everyone hate him with these two characters?

They're gonna break up, making Bino fans hate him because It will prove he's a bigger jerk than they thought and making Sasha fans hate him for making her sad.

or the other way around and Sasha breaks up with him to try to date Fido. Sasha fans will hate him for making her a jerk and Bino haters will hate him for making them feel sorry for him.

Still, they've been on and off for a while. I doubt that's gonna make everybody hate Rick.

Duchess.

If not Duchess, then King. I'm taking a guess here that Bino's inferiority complex may go into overdrive.

A guess?

Bino finds Duchess and breaks up with Sasha to go after her. Sasha, heartbroken, goes to the little corgi for comfort. She ends up falling for him, creating an awkward and stereotypical love triangle between King, Sasha, and Bailey. Fans will hate him for many reasons:

-Making Bino hurt Sasha
-Creating such a cliche in his writing
- Messing with the most stable relationship in HP! (King and Bailey)
- Messing with the heads of the former King of Heart Shippers
-Making Bino look "wimpy" for pining after Duchess
-Boosting Duchess' already inflated ego


And so on and so forth....

I doubt pairing Duchess and Bino can upset someone, specially because it was something obvious after the ending of "show business" arc. Is pretty hard this could involve King since he starred an arc recently, and if that isn't enough, he get engaged with Bailey in that arc. The only way this could cause people get mad with him is if he messes with others couples like Fido and Sabrina or Peanut and Tarot by putting Sasha in the middle.

Well, other way could be if Duchess have target someone else, and this cause she messes with another couple and the same time Bino get nothing and end up alone.

To be fair Bino has not been an idyllic "boyfriend" for Sasha.
Sasha may not be the brightest bulb, but she clearly deserves a better life than she has currently.
Heck I think King did more for her during their short encounter than Bino did the entire time they've been together.
So maybe it is for the best?
(also who knows maybe Bino will become a better person/Dog in the process.)

I don't know what it's gonna be (other than Spot?) but whatever it is I love jokes played on the reader. BRING IT ON, RICK. I CAN TAKE YA.

Come to think of it, Rick said it would be worth it in the end. It maybe just something rough but end up heartwarmingly sweet in the end.

We just like to let these things hit our minds. Like LIGHTNING!

Let's keep in mind Sasha isn't the best girlfriend either, going on a date with his brother while he lies broken in a hospital bed and wanting to have his brother's poppies.

Which makes me wonder, I know Bino is the closest thing this series has to a Scrappy(every Scrappy has its few loyal fans), mixed with Sasha's niceness and rough home life, makes it hard to hate her...if you only at her character bio, Sasha sounds like a horrible and shallow dog...I was honestly surprised by how sweet she was when I first read this comic.

maybe she ends up cheating on Bino openly..again.. only this time Bino reacts like he isnt in a hospital bed, and dumps her, with painful consequences for him.

I don't think Bino is a scrappy. Scrappies aren't disliked as a person, they're disliked as a character. People don't groan the minute Bino shows up in an arc.

Bino is a fun character. Just one given to insane rants because of deep seated mental issues kind of fun.

Not a scrappy, more of the grumpy. We want to see him grow out of it or see what makes him grumpy =P

I knew it! Bino is gonna try to trump King's wedding with one of his own!

BTW: Bino is not The Scrappy.

Isn't it obvious? He's a Parody Sue. :P

Nahh, it's too early for King's wedding. Besides, if someone is going to ruin (or try it) his wedding that will be one of the Cosmic Nerds (more probably Dragon or Kitsune).

Maybe Duchess isn't even involved in the next arc and it could be focused in Bino trying to take revenge on Max, ruining his reputation, and in order to achieve it, he will do anything no matter what, even if he had to use Sasha and break her heart.

I didn't say he was going to try to ruin it. My thought is he's going to try to one-up King with something totally awesome for him and Sasha.

And it's going to be Ruined FOREVER!!! :twisted:

It is obvious that the reason people are going to hate him for this arc is because we will find out that the entire comic was just the dream of some 80 year old man who ate too many baked beans before bed. Obviously.

Or maybe a couple that people like will be broken up?

Heh! good one.

i think someone mentioned Bino is like Scrappy Doo...hmm...I'd say he's more like Mojo Jojo or Dr Drakken. His plans are pretty awesome but they're often thwarted by little girls

Calling a character a scrappy isn't comparing them to Scrappy Doo in personality or role to the story, but comparing them to Scrappy Doo in shear loathing drawn from the fans. You can read about the term here.

Well, Bino is not one of my favorites, but enjoy a lot whenever he shows up (and to be honest, sometimes I enjoyed more his arcs than the ones from King, and he is my 3º favorite character). Besides I hate when people underestimate him. He has a lot of potential, just we haven't seen it yet.
