Ooooh this made me laugh. And yay for seeing the kitties again! I’m mildly confused, but intensely curious to see this king. I’d like to see how this “tell me you love me!” part will go with his citizens. Quite well, I’m sure. Excellent as always, Karl!
Part of me wants to know what city this is in so I can move there and live in a classic Greek temple. The more rational side wouldn’t want a ‘king’ that nuts. Or a palatial castle wtih such bad security. Seriously, those could be kitties with laser beams on their heads or in their mouths!
I love cats, or . . . do I hate them? I have 3 and it seems to be a daily thing . . . y’know, whether one of them is snuggling with me while I watch Lost or if I stepped in some little cat token left behind early in the morning . . .nice strip btw . . .
Boy, I’ve been waiting for this follow-up for forever, and had been wondering if you’d forgotten all about it since when you expressed your new year proposition’s for this strip, Mr Kerschl: Happy happy happy to see you delivered! If I am not mistaken, this will someday tie into the prophecy Charles was told a long, long time ago! I’m enjoying all about this strip, and may I take the chance to beg for a new Charles squishy… ?
:-)
I was just rereading the archives the other day and it’s amazing how much I’ve forgotten of the story. I didn’t realize this city was the one the lion referred to when giving Charles his quest, or this is the prince/king whose name he needs to get. I’m extremely curious how the humans will be handled, since so far they’ve never been fully shown aside from a shadow and whatever they leave behind. I’m also curious why the prince’s speech bubbles are square while everyone else’s are round. At first I thought it was a difference between a human speaking and an animal speaking but it doesn’t seem to be the case. I wonder too just where this city is, since it seems kind of Middle Eastern but so many of the animals that are nearby aren’t from that climate, unless it’s just an imaginary city. Very curious!
I also love the cats. :D
I’ve never commented before but I’ve been reading for a long time and it wasn’t till I reread the archives that I realized how wonderful and brilliant the whole comic, art and story included, really is. Thanks so much for making it! I absolutely can’t wait for more. :)

I do like that cat with the squishy face. And looking forward to someday seeing this cowardly prince!
January 20th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
Am I not humble?
Oh wait.
Can’t wait to actually see the prince.
January 20th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
so confused
January 20th, 2010 at 1:18 pm
He… He scared the kitties -_-
January 20th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
I want to shnuggle the fat one. He sho fat. =) Love the update as usual!

He’s not fat. Long-haired cats sit like that and they look like little shag untrussed chickens. :)
January 20th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
Prince John? He just needs a little love…
January 20th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Insecure King is insecure… LOL
January 20th, 2010 at 1:46 pm
this strip doesn’t displease me!
January 20th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Splendid portfolio you must have. Animals. And architecture.
This story is starting to simmer – can’t wait for the reveal(s).

Love the feline political commentary! Cats rule!
Maybe not, but in this city it might be an improvement.

This update… PLEASES me.
January 20th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Gulp. Something tells me that Hanish is *skkkkkkkt*
I love the 4th panel, though, where the cats are looking at each other like “What the?”
January 20th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Oh, but you ARE great, karl!

AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!
January 20th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
Nice job. These are great; Keep up the great work!
January 20th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
And you got their ears so perfectly — listening to the king in panel 3, and then each other and then flying back as his majesty loses it…
January 21st, 2010 at 12:32 am
the abominable charles christopher, with apologies to gary trudeau?
it’s still my favorite webcomic :)
January 21st, 2010 at 1:15 am
He sounds like my kind of king… One from the Mel Brooks school!
I also just love the cats, cant wait to see more out of them.
January 21st, 2010 at 2:01 am
… thank you Karl, just brilliant – set up, pacing, design – lovely… (oh, and now I feel a ‘man-crush’ coming on)…
January 21st, 2010 at 2:42 am
This king sounds like a Grade A jerk.
January 21st, 2010 at 4:50 am
Somehow, this reminds me of Charles II of Spain (the ultimate tragic example of genetically inbred, pampered, unfit royalty):

This could be getting a little too close to contemporary domestic politics. Fortunately, the prince could be just about any modern politician.
January 21st, 2010 at 8:55 am
Even the ever-egotistical cats feel that they have nothing on that speech.
January 21st, 2010 at 12:03 pm
Hilarious.
January 21st, 2010 at 2:10 pm
I cant help but think the king is going to be a very obnoxious, chubby little boy.
January 21st, 2010 at 5:17 pm
AUGH. Those jump-cuts kill me. What’s happening to CC?
January 21st, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Greatest. Strip. Ever.
Great that you retook the cats-on-ledge-and-spoiled-somebody thread.
That’s Hagia Sophia, no? Excellent, excellent…
January 21st, 2010 at 9:46 pm
I’m also very intrigued by where this city might be roughly set. The architecture does have a Byzantine appearance. :D
Another wonderful instalment. :D

What did the patron say after strangling the bartender?
“His draft… DISPLEASED me.”
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:47 am
A priest, a rabbi, and a lawyer walk into a bar…

Hanish has failed me for the last time ….
January 26th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
Ah, now we get to see the king…who wants to reign supreme over all man and creature…look at CHARLES!!! O_o
January 26th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Thank you. Your comic is amazing!
February 7th, 2010 at 2:22 am
