Well, he knows that weird trick with a rook...
You’re saying they castled her?

"It's good to be the king." -History of the World part I
The joke is that by the rules the king knows one basic move.
So does the bishop, but he absolutely plows at it
The King excels at short thrusting motions.
If anything, even what the King does would be too much, as it is enough to kill the person next to him.
I agree that the King is small but effective, but I think that Queen's just prefer a Bishops long reach
And even then it's essentially the same moves. Now, put a knight in there and we're really cooking.
This comment has some real "Lancelot seducing Guinevere" energy.
Why is there a slice of pie on the bed
The artist has “secret” symbols that he hides in all of his comics, and the slice of pie is one of them. By the names in the upper left hand corner is a “3”, which means he’s put 3 of the symbols in this panel. There’s also a stick of dynamite and “O2” (which stands for Olive Oyl).
Oh OK interesting! Thank you!
Here is the list.
Since I learned about these symbols I always look out for them.
Oh neat, thank you!
I've always enjoyed Bizarro, but I didn't know these were a thing. Thanks for the link.
Olive Oyl? My high school chemistry/life science teacher did me wrong!
Some people are really into that
Who puts a slice of pie directly on the sheets? My wife would murder me.
Edit: Heh-heh, it's an inside joke, and I fell for it. Nice.
Can someone explain why this gif is not animated?
Because gifs are allowed to be not animated.
Jifs are the animated ones Right?
No, that’s a gyphe.
Janimated image format.
Jah bless.
The bed is made of…flesh?
Is this the first time you've seen a leather-covered headboard? They're fairly common in hotels, for their ease of cleaning.
The pieces are made of bed
The king has the least moves of all pieces tho. She needs some hardcore pawn action.
The queen has the most moves, hrm...
mate?
He seduced her into getting within one square of him, and now he can capture her!
Does that mean that Knights are cute twinks?
