Housepets!

Grape ate a live, fully sapient mouse once. And you're disgusted by the burrito? Animals naturally eat mice. Life was never meant to see pumpkins. coffee, and Mexican food combined. Plus that mouse was just being annoying I mean come on he asked for it IIRC, She actually killed that mouse before ea...

I know I have a... sweet tooth, for lack of a better phrase... for coming up with guessings of the next little tidbit, but my own thought on this one is that Miss Auburn is NOT the actual author and merely the face thereof and that Grape just found the real author without even realizing it. Maybe th...

Traceroute may not be popular enough for me to have gotten that joke but the whole "it's the technique that changes" part of the joke I got so it was at worst merely a delayed reaction. For future reference if Rick had written it as "Traceroute.ghost" even if it wouldn't actually...

arcict

Soooo, kinda a bit more complicated then a love triangle... Lets start with Tarot, who likes Peanut, who has a kind of sibling mushy crush on Grape, who'se dating Max, who used to date Sabrina, who is currently secretly dating Fido (there's a box of skunks nobody wants to open) who'se being sought a...

It says something that Rick can set up and tell a joke with just one word and an image....

Not sure exactly WHAT it says, but it does say something.

wait- wait wait wait waitwaitwaitwaiwaiwaiwaiwawawawwwwwwbbbbbzzzzzzzz*explosion* Okay, i cant believe i just noticed this, but foxes fur pattern isn't symmetrical ._. like,..... Wait a minute...

Methinks that he woke up and hoped/thought that it all had been a dream... That or comedicaly he just didn't remember. Wild conjecture here but... I think that the babylon gardens area itself is the arena. Pete was found in a forest outside of BG and he first manafested himself to Joel who was in co...

arcict

Interresting. And totally appropriate for a kitsune, even a kitsune of 9 tails is still a kitsune and thus first and foremost a trickster, this also alludes back to when Grape was (supposadely) sleeping. In this case I think the term "vision" might be more appropriate, where the character ...

arcict

There is so much I want to say, but the great... change/wierdness/silliness saps me of (almost) all power to actually say anything. I suppose I first don't understand people associating the great kitsune as having Daisy as an avatar, I just look at that smile and I instantly think Max but with this ...

arcict

Busted! Now I am curious. See, it makes sense to me that Pete would deliberately reduce his actions around King because King is supposed to be learning a lesson relative to being a pet, a lesson which would get effectively shattered if he were experiencing a "tainted" situation (tainted by...

arcict

We have a slow connection at home (my dad has a faster connection via his laptop and blackberry connection but he's at work now) so the comic loaded up from the top down resulting in me getting the text (worb bubbles) before the rest of it... AND I STILL KNEW IT WAS TAROT THAT DELIVERED THE PUNCH LI...

It's all part of the DRPepper/MRPibb conspiracy... the conspiracy grows

My mom, in an unrelated conversation created a new expression... "A holly golly jolly good time!"

And for some reason it seemed appropriate.

arcict

Sometimes, it just doesn't pay to tempt fate.

It is interresting that Pete may be trying to show King just what kind of a position that he, and by extension all other pets, are really in.

arcict

Oh for crying out... I love this one. Not only is King in a situation not to make more enemies (or risk further alienation with a certain self centered controlling pup with a penchant for explosive runes, I mean catnip) but we explore more of the dilemas of being a dog. I am trying to push myself aw...

arcict

I'm not sure if I'm doing my math right, but if I have got it right and if I'm counting it right. there are currently a total of 18 of them (not counting right hand ones as different ones,) and two places for them to be. I think that makes it 18 to the power of 2 permutations (possabilities) total. ...

arcict

...Except Sasha clearly explains how King scavenged all the supplies and built it for her. He got the doghouse from another dog that was disposing of it, then went to a scrapyard to get insulation, then added a heater to it. The heater and such is a reference to the incident on Christmas. Agreed an...

arcict

Well, that kinda explains itself really (relative to my previous question). I'm gonna try to piece together what I think happende from King's POV... King gets a doghouse, King feels degraded for having to have such a thing, King decides to give dog house away so he doesn't have to use it himself, Ki...

arcict

I'm probably taking this too seriously, probably. And I just know I'm going to get a reputation as a whiner sooner or later. But I'm trying to understand King's mentality in this instance. If he knew, and IMHO it wouldn't take much asking around to find out, that Sasha was supposed to be Bino's girl...

arcict

I hope this isn't turning into a Bino arc, with Sasha doing something meaningful in the last panel of the last strip in the arc. When has that ever happened? http://www.nullamatix.com/images/I-dunno-lol.jpg Reminds me of a youtube clip that featured (among other things) PeeWee Herman giving his &qu...

What is a "kangaroo" joke. I've never heard of what a kangaroo joke is before.

arcict

I see this as effectively "no change" The only real change here is that now they know that each other knows and they can stop (failing to) hide it from each other. Other then that I see no change which to me is... disappointing. A while back I came up with two kinds of cartoons, Toons and ...

arcict

I forgot, Tarot effectively spilled the beans to Grape when she was first introduced... I'd link it but slow internet access means I get to be lazy and leave that to someone else. But either way, this is priceless. I totally should have seen this coming, it's humerous and... it's just perfect! I kno...

arcict

If I had a (valid) webcomic, it would be these moments that I would totally live for. Watching everybody else scramble and buzz trying to figure out what is going to happen next. It's something of a testament to how good of a storyteller and author to have his/her reader's so... engaged.

arcict

Meh, Linkin Park is more effective. I've like listening to LP whenever I feel depressed and need something to listen to. ...Is max's expression because Tarot is making an "expeditious retreat" past him, or is he expressing a kind of nervous "oh no, we're going to get caught" kind...

arcict

The problem with English, or so my little bro says, is that it derives words from Germanic descent where you can have thirty consanants in a row and say all of them, and from French descent where you can have thirty vowels in a row and say none of them! :P I already heard some time ago that Tarot wa...

arcict

I think this is going to get... interresting. If I had to list a second weakness to Spot it would be Stripe, the girlfriend of spot who despite constant "who is not a cat" statements, obviously is. So, with Peanut playing as Spot, who in his mind might immediately fall into this "seco...

arcict

Depends. Bows and arrows as part of a first wave is not a bad thing, it can clear the wall of it's troops allowing you to send up grappling hooks or ladders with minimal interferance... OR, if you aren't invading it can buy you time to get out the "pitch" arrows, light them on fire, and th...

November '08. And you started it :P . Why yes, yes I did. Sorry but I was at the library and was short on time (I had places to go) so I had to finish my post and then get, otherwise I would have looked up the starting date myself... *does some checking* *does some thinking* I would relent with the...

arcict

What are you talking about it's not that biiiiaaah... "94, 95, 96" Ok.... yeah, that's kinda... wow, Well, how about this, every Housepets anniversary Rick starts a new thread for the year and begins by copying the posts discussing the previous comic into the new one or something, that way...

arcict

I read through it and all I could think of at the time was "what would I have done if it were me?"

Darn it but now I can't stop thinking about it!

Gotta say that I liked it, even if I can't wholy agree with King's attitude.

arcict

I actually thought (while the pic was still loading) that Peanut would imagine himself as the low res blue lined spot in a high res professional background/world. That would be silly and... wierd.

But this works just as well.

And I love that quote "awesome as charged"

arcict

Seriously... :P Nut anyway, the problem I have with King isn't that he isn't human per se, it's that he isn't free. Think about this, from his position before he has effectively traded one prison for another. It's not that he doesn't need to work for what he gets, it's that he cannot work for what h...

arcict

I just rememberd that a lot of what I remember from the "pridelands" series isn't just about studmuffin lions and hyena minor villains, it's about a BIG conflict of which we only get glimpses. I can't help but wonder if these four (I'm thinking that Tarot will find a place in which to put ...

arcict

*sigh* Aaaaaaand the cats will do what the cats will do, I can almost hear Peanut's sanity tearing just a little. In my estimate it won't be too long now before his mind snaps a little and he just starts blurting things out... Reminds me a bit of oots and Haley's dilema. And of course the moment the...

arcict

Tarot's timing makes sense to me. IF... she showed up too early, Peanut would have been confused and since she was already there, he wouldn't have wanted to call her so she wouldn't have seen anything... probably. IF... she showed up too late it wouldn't have made any sense to see anything at all, h...

It's a "before", "current" and "after" thing, where you describe the poster that is ^ or just before you, the poster that is < is you, and the poster that is V after you. It's a common forum game and I've seen it before but never really played because I do not pay atten...

arcict

The "current comic" thread just seemed like the wrong place to put this. Anyway, I was thinking about what I thought was in the future and a few thoughts occured to me for the Housepets comic. So, I don't want this to just be my speculations either, ANYBODY with a thought (crazy or otherwi...

Another wedge in the Grape/Peanut relationaship. I honestly can't tell what I want to see anymore, a peaceful resolution/understanding between the characters... or comical conflict. Honestly I've never been one that liked comical conflict where things in the friendship/companionship/love are involve...

arcict

Awww, poor Joey. On the other hand... If I were in King's shoes... er, whatever, I would be totally a resentful mean little cuss towards Pete. I would have totally pushed to get him to say why he was doing things and until then I would totally be trying to undermine whatever he was doing. And the fi...

the bald guy was ok. the other relative..um..quite deformed. No wonder they are ungrateful :D Don't tell me you haven't seen a rich old woman who's had so many facelifts she starts to look like a fish I woldn't really know, I don't look at women who look like fish... then again, I don't really look...
