Hmm, so Joel smells like dog. Is that because of the clothes, or because he used to be a dog? Either way, it explains why Bino didn't detected him (if crying wasn't the reason). Was wondering when Cerberus would return. So, does Joel get to choose to be King again? Please yes please. Peanut! You're...

Simple! Joel's scent changed when Rick changed art styles. That's just how good an artist he is

lol.

Here's my random take of the next strip (assuming Joel told Fox everything, including what happened to Bailey). --- Joel, Fox, and Peanut are sitting on the couch. Fox: "Peanut, you sure you're ok with Tarot being possibly gone for a long time?" Peanut: "Long time? She said she'd be g...

Argh! One more day before we find out what happens next.

Discostew

Fido was obviously crying for Sabrina's leaving, as he says. What can be this important thing she has to do? Alright, Tarot knows already everything and it's obvious why, but it's not clear the reason of why they're asking to talk to Sabrina, which knows the King's facts too, though... Sabrina has ...

Discostew

I believe Fido is crying, or was, as it looks similar to when Bailey had cried.

Welcome Gregourii. Hope your stay here is a good one.

Ok, I tried to contain myself after I looked at the strip again, but with Joel disguised like that from head to toe, he looks like some bug-eyed alien.

Discostew

Almost 3 hours and no post update? For shaaaaaame! Well, this strip isn't nearly as dramatic as what we've had, and a lot of the discussion and speculation comes from that. Anyways, I wonder if Tarot told Peanut that Joel is King. Peanut has seen plenty of cosmic stuff in this comic, and he seems t...

It's a good think Joel isn't wearing a white-hooded sweater, because that would be suspicious. It's one thing to use your wife's handkerchief, but another to wear your wife's clothing. :P Dunno, he wouldn't be the first *hides* :D Well, now I feel silly. That's what I get for not having a wife. I g...

Wait a minute... That popcorn... That juice.... So familiar... I mean, doesnt Peanut consume those while sad? See: N-ple Date You're right, he was eating popcorn while Grape and Max were on a date, but then again, he was watching "All Dogs Go to Heaven", which all dogs cry to, even Bino ....

Discostew

I was wondering why he was crying. That's probably also why he didn't sniff out Joel, assuming he even remembers the scent after so long. And working on the assumption that Joel and King sound the same, he probably wouldn't tell the difference that way, either. Good point. Crying usually results in...

Figured as much. Disguise, trying to find Tarot/Sabrina, but I expected more bonding between Fox and Joel at the......Wolves' home? How did Joel get out of there without sounding any alarms like, "We have an intruder! How did he get in here?!" . I'm guessing Fox convinced them, considering...

Welcome DiscoStew. Jokes aside, barring your programming skill and the bizarre way you spell 'Luna', I feel we have a great deal in common. Furthermore, I look forward to investigating the possibility that at least one of us was unwittingly cloned early in life. Or we could just conversate a while....

Discostew

I have a[nother] hypothetical. We keep talking about if Pete loses or Dragon loses, to which the loser becomes mortal...but....what if there's a scenario where they both lose? What if something happens during the duel that all 3 demigods get involved in breaking some heavenly rules, and it concludes...

I can't really tell what order panels 5-8 are supposed to go in. If you look closely there is a line connecting the panels. Which probably means the order is how they're connected. Hah, I looked at that from top, left, right, bottom, rather than the intended order. The smack following the punch mak...

I say botched because it started to basically look like a blue Fox >< ...

Discostew

3rd-party implies he's not a part of either side. Now that he's a human, I would assume that makes him even more 3rd-party to their game. But if the game only involves animals, then he can't be in the game, not even 3rd-party. He got thrown into the game the moment he turned into a dog, but was not...

Discostew

Ok, I understand that King wasn't or ever was Pete's minion, but now about this "3rd-party" business. Is Joel still considered 3rd-party even though he's now human? The only reason Pete turned Joel into King in the first place was to get him into the game for his backup plan, having a Dark...

Discostew

Why are some stating that Joel couldn't get help from Tarot and Sabrina because they are Dragon's avatar and follower? Joel is no longer indebted to Pete anymore, he is a free agent, and he can work with whoever he wants to get Bailey back and defeat Pete. And I would think, if the duel is with Dra...

Discostew

This just sort of popped into my mind as another reason that Fox is to believe that Joel is King. His prison clothes. Yes, they've already been mentioned, but I have a different perspective to point out. This is what Joel wore years ago prior to being turned into King, and the authorities believed t...

Discostew

I actuallt mention that theory too earlier. An issue with it though, as i was told is that if Pete is given an adult body he can still be a threat to King and Bailey, maybe bot as a marauding gryphon but he could physically harm them good if possible. And remember the loser of the game, according t...

Correction, a mortal body, not necessarily a human one. And as you said, a complete lifetime. That's why many of us have thought about him becoming one of Bailey and King's offspring.

Discostew

I can't believe nobody's taken the last frame for an avatar yet. Thought about it, but then if I took it, someone would take the one I currently have. :P last prediction for tomorrow's comic. Joel escorted by security out of the house, throwing a last, sad and resigned look to Fox, while off panel ...

I've noticed as this arc went on that each sequential thread ended up increasing in post count. A lot of it is speculation.

Wow.. I made an account just to comment on this strip. I'm elated and excited from this turn out so far. I can't wait until the next one. Anyways, regarding the changes. . . Will Baily fulfill that promise of faithfully staying with King? Will she always love him? My question is then answered with ...

Thanks for the welcomes from those that came before me (in this thread), and so shall I do the same for those that came after.

You know, I was thinking. What if Pete loses the game and becomes the new King? He has to inhabit King's body and be Joel's pet... oh no, if pete becomes king then Bailey might start kis.... AAHHH MY EYES ... IT BURNS IT BURNS !!!!!!!! If Pete did end up in King's body, I think Bailey would figure ...

Discostew

Ugh, that gotta be painful. Fox has Bino to thank for giving him all that practice. It bugs me slightly that Fox is accepting this. Well, in the last panel at least. Provided that Fox has no knowledge of the game, he has absolutely no reason to believe that King = Joel. But yet, he still sorta unde...

I can't help but wonder what a human Bailey would look like. Daisy Mae. Eh, can't picture her as a blonde. Or an Amazon-looking woman, either. I always viewed her as a country girl, since she was raised on a farm. Same here. I guess that's why I've become attached to Bailey. I kinda got a thing for...

Rick has posted on twitter that this will be a long arc with intermissions planned in, so... yeah. By my current plan, the next arc of housepets will take ~45 comics to complete. It will have intermissions built in. 45? Oh man. It's taken almost a month to present these last 11 strips (About 1/4 th...

I've got a question (or a few) to ask. Are the compiled books meant to contain full arcs for the past year? Because I'm looking at the last book, and it runs from June 2012 to May 2013. If this upcoming book is meant to run from June 2013 to May 2014 and contain full arcs, then would that be an indi...

Maybe there is a chance that Pete will turn Bailey in to a human, anyway wasnt Joel "Wanted" at least for escaping from the trial,he can be blamed for the kidnap of King and Bailey? i dont think authorities will belive the truth , is more easy to blame the criminal in the room of the most...

I just realized. Fox was making a lot of noise when beating up Joel. That might get the attention of the wolves, who would expect King and Bailey to be there with Fox, but instead there's a human. Now, unless someone in the neighborhood kept the wolves up-to-date on events prior to their arriving, t...

Discostew

Technically, based on the arc, she's doing it for King, who she knows now used to be a human, but still doesn't know it was Joel, who was the one that dognapped Fox in the first place. However, even if she later found out that King was this dognapper, I'm pretty sure that Fox's supposed acceptance a...

I see that King's collar is still there, on the dresser.
