To me it looks to me like an instinctive (“knee-jerk” :-)) reaction to pull up his leg in self-defense. The two, vertical “action-lines” in panel six are from Ness being dropped. (See her tail just below?)
I believe Kludd is right about Oliver’s anger softening slightly in the last panel.
Part of it is Kade doesn’t want his hat destroyed. The other part is Kade has no idea how to fight in real life. He’d stand at a 90 degree angle swaying back and forth like a Street Fighter character.
He’s obviously just as childish judging from the collar, but obviously it’s focused on Comics rather than Videogames. He probably grew up watching Batman: The Animated Series.
Actually it was the other way around – Tim did the requesting, lol. The real Oliver belongs to my best friend and I pet sit for him a lot, but Tim had never met him until just a couple weeks ago when we had a doggy play date at our house. Tim really liked Oliver’s markings and asked if he could include him as “the jerk down the road”. Suffice it to say my friend was more than happy to loan her dog to the cause! xD
Well, good job Kade. You got someone made at you. Now you get to fight.
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Don’t worry, it’s only illegal if you get caught, otherwise you can do a fatality here. Make sure the protect that hat at all costs, who gives a **** about vital organs when you have a limited edition Pokemon Trainer hat!
Is it me, or does this strip the perfect view of a pokemon trainer you fight in pokemon Colosseum?
Trainer: NESS! I CHOOSE YOU!!
You: *catches pokemon with snag ball*
Trainer blacks out and deals money to the thug.
Oooooooookay…
Maybe we don’t have a boyfriend for Nicole after all.
While likely true, they both seem to have a fondness of punching Kade.
Probably not, at least not yet. Bit too immature. 😛
Kade i hope you have extra potions for your self
Maybe they can solve their problems with a pokémon battle. In what level is Ness?
He’s not the hero Kade deserves, but he’s… you know what, Kade had it coming and deserves him.
They gonna make out or what?
I ship it
My Precioussssss…
KISS HIM! >:O
No, just no
Oliver is quite the hot-headed guy, he’d make a good Team Rocket grunt…but I’m sure Kade and his hat will be fine. How can you ever be mad at him? 🙂
Oliver would have to pass the Team Rocket initiation: have at least one Zubat or Rattata.
Oliver’s a Doberman ? Just not sure, actually.
He’s some kind of hound mix, we’re not really sure (he’s a rescue!)
I love the fact that Ness’ eyes are green here. He’s HAPPY to be in this situation!
SHE!!! Come on, it’s not even that hard. I mean, she’s PINK!
“He” is a she. Thanks for not asking. Oh, and she’s pink.
Since Ness is a timeless demon she doesn’t really care if something wastes her time.
Seems like she’s less happy and more “not angry”.
Looking at the other dog’s bat-tag… Is his name ‘Ace’ by any chance?
Tag says Oliver.
Oh dear, hang in there, Kade! ><;
Oliver’s a bit of an A hole.
Does it look like Kade’s about to knee him in groin on panel six to any else, or is it just me?
This looks like more in the 5th panel that Kade is going to knee him n groin
Kade’s knee is going up and it looks just like it.
To me it looks to me like an instinctive (“knee-jerk” :-)) reaction to pull up his leg in self-defense. The two, vertical “action-lines” in panel six are from Ness being dropped. (See her tail just below?)
I believe Kludd is right about Oliver’s anger softening slightly in the last panel.
Oh, you’re right. I didn’t even think about the action lines from Ness falling being mistaken for Kade’s knee.
Kade is trying to curl into a ball since Oliver is pulling up on his collar.
I guess so.
Either way I don’t think that was Tim’s intention.
So is Oliver not really questioning why a plush was in his yard? Best I can imagine is that he thinks that Kade threw Ness simply out of spite.
Or Oliver thinks Kade was in his yard and dropped the plush.
I was right for the previous comic strip : Oliver’s lower arms are fully white here , when it was white first then black
Kade ; do you think really a limited edition pokemon trainer hat is more important than your vital organs ? ^_^”
I went back and fixed the fur pattern.
Part of it is Kade doesn’t want his hat destroyed. The other part is Kade has no idea how to fight in real life. He’d stand at a 90 degree angle swaying back and forth like a Street Fighter character.
And you fixed his tail too, yay! Oliver’s white tip is the best.
Better than my reaction. I’d point and shout “PK FIRE”.
What about a pokemon challenge between Kade and Oliver , to resolve the problem ?
I’d think someone with a Batman tag would be more willing to help a fellow nerd.
Eh, maybe he wanted the Pokémon for himself
In the last panel it kinda looks that Oliver’s gaze softtend a bit or is it just a shock after hearing Kade cares more for hat the his life
I agree with you, Kludd. I do believe Oliver’s anger has softened just a bit; possibly in confusion at Kade’s reaction.
Is Oliver by chance from the same generation Kade & Nicole are? He’s wearing a collar. Such childishness! xP
He’s obviously just as childish judging from the collar, but obviously it’s focused on Comics rather than Videogames. He probably grew up watching Batman: The Animated Series.
Huh. That’s an odd detail to notice when you are going to ‘possibly’ pummel someone.
“Localized gravity well”. Ha.
Oliver looks certainly like an important character considering the his collar, wonder where this will go 😀
Don’t hold your breath. He’s based on a dog belonging to a watchers friend. Odds are the details were all requested.
Actually it was the other way around – Tim did the requesting, lol. The real Oliver belongs to my best friend and I pet sit for him a lot, but Tim had never met him until just a couple weeks ago when we had a doggy play date at our house.

Got a Knight of Cerebus vibe here…
Well, I really can’t blame the guy for being mad, it DOES look like Kade trespassed. Reaction is just a tad extreme though. 😛
Their neighbour has batman’s symbol and batman’s famous sense of humour it seems…
Well, good job Kade. You got someone made at you. Now you get to fight.
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Don’t worry, it’s only illegal if you get caught, otherwise you can do a fatality here. Make sure the protect that hat at all costs, who gives a **** about vital organs when you have a limited edition Pokemon Trainer hat!
He’s not that much bigger, nor does he have any significant body mass so why are you scared? Wimp XP
That’s probably exactly why Kade is scared. Nicole is the much more physical one of the two.
Aaah! no hurt Kade!
I kinda suspect Ness is going to have some input into this one. After all; Oliver caused Kade to drop Ness on her head! 🙂
Is it me, or does this strip the perfect view of a pokemon trainer you fight in pokemon Colosseum?
Trainer: NESS! I CHOOSE YOU!!
You: *catches pokemon with snag ball*
Trainer blacks out and deals money to the thug.
Oliver is a dog wearing a Battag?
Batman, DC.
Oliver Queen, also DC.
Ness the newest pokemon! Also maybe just forget this one Kade unless you want Nicole, Rick or Harvey?
