DEADLINE ALERT! *alarm sounds* DEADLINE ALERT! *alarm sounds* Well I finally figured out the rest of My Life As A Teenage Squirrel... and it just happened to end on Christmas again. Soooo... another timeskip ending! We have 17 strips to go. Put your final bets, thoughts and theories in now. Put it ...

In any case, I actually want to focus on something you just said because I think it's actually an interesting point. IS this story a mystery? I mean, yes there's the unknown element of we're not sure how it happened and who's behind it, but that's just how we as the audience are reacting because we...

Nobody

Yeah, I didn't know what it meant until you explained it. Either way, my point stands that Housepets works in simply solutions when it comes to solving a problem because the problem is less of the point than what is gained by the actions taken to resolve it. Anyway, Kitsune wouldn't be Deus Ex Mach...

Nobody

As far Deus Ex Machina goes, Housepets does that a lot in certain way. Think about this. Heaven's Not Enough, how did it end? They just stopped fighting. That was it. King charged in, gave a speech, and they stopped. Very anti-climatic. Real Stories of the K-9PD, Tarot hit Sasha with the Slab to wa...

All good reasons, but I still hope he isn't shown to be powerless though, like maybe he can at least address the gender-swapping thing if nothing else. I also kinda hope there is gonna be some character development for him in the future through the teased relationship between him and Kix though. Wh...

Even more importantly, what is to stop Kitsune from snapping his fingers and changing them back other than some weak logic or simply saying "he doesn't want too." Tricksters be trickstin'. As to the rest, I personally don't see that as narrative satisfying. All of Gale and Pueblo's story ...

This is now my head cannon and I do not care what anyone else says.

Actually, I want to address some reasons why Kitsune can't just poof everything better that aren't metanarative. I mean, obviously the story's no good if Kitsune just Deus Ex Machina solves it, but there are plenty of good in-story reasons why he can't, too. First of all, how much does Kitsune know ...

Aaaaaaaand there goes the PG rating for this comic! Told, not shown, and in the most general way. Rating's safe. (also explains the deliberate lack of rhyme on line #4 of my post...) Ratings are crap anyway. They were always arbitrary, but now they're been turned into a marketing tactic. The knowle...

You can't sink a ship with things like facts and logic. It requires something more drastic, like a tactical nuclear strike.

Well we have confirmation and more questions. The fact he is not on her shoulder is quite disappointing. He’s a squirrel not a falcon. Oh no. The Poncho and Lois relationship just went up in flames. Actually it’s more like someone set fire to the Titanic after it already hit the iceberg. Still sad....

That pose in panel 3 looks like it should be on the cover of some superhero comic.

I haven't read Housepets! in a while and I hve a lot of questions. What's happening in the comic right now? What is the ECP and who's involved? What is the goal of the ECP? Can someone please give me a recap? PS: I've just developed a theory that all the animals in the comic are tranformed humans. ...

Nobody

You know you're thinking about this comic too much when you dream about how it's all going to end. And boy do I hope it doesn't go where my dreams went, because that was bizarre. It's all gone fuzzy on me, as dreams do, but I still remember a plot point about Marion getting stuck in somebody's boot ...

Nobody

I know that nothing is gonna happen but I'm just asking if there are enough shippers now for it to become a thing. How many shippers does it need to be a "thing"? I ship them. I don't even care. If people can ship Fungo and Grapenut then I can ship this. Because I can. :P It only takes on...

Huh? Sorry, I just don't get that reference....

That's because you're not supposed to get self-referential in-jokes. They are told entirely for my own amusement.

You must not make inquiries any further in this direction. That way lies madness.

Unless it was explicitly stated, I don't think anyone could have told Marion is a female either, except maybe in the first panel of Treehouse of Horror. http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2019/06/12/treehouse-of-horror/ Marion doesn't look to be drawn particularly feminine in that panel, to me at ...

I really do enjoy seeing Lois take charge. I always hate it in movies when every character runs around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

Oh, hello What Chicken. I didn't see you there.

… and Lana may turn out to be a pivotal figure.

I hope so. It would be nice to see one of the ferrets other than Keene be important to the story for a change. Not that I dislike Keene, I'd just like to see a little more variety in the focus.

Nobody

Too bad that is not gonna happen as the comic creator has decided that Marvin should only be a bit character who shows up once every few years. Since the creator decided it, so shall it will be. :geek: And no, I wasn't insulting Rick when I said that. No, understood … and I've gone on about this be...

So many need therapy. Peanut and Grape need couples counseling Tarot still has issues from being Dragon's avatar. Max needs to get over his dependency issues King has serious mother issues and Daddy issues Keene has daddy issues and other issues with morality. Tiger has so many problems it's not fu...

I think the point was that while Keene deserved it, it was the kind of impersonal situation that could allow him to convince himself he didn't deserve it. Eudoant would have done what he did to Keene regardless of whether Keene deserved it. The Milton Ferrets turning their back on him for his behav...

Keene’s schemes coming back to bite him?! Gasp, when has that ever happened (he said sarcastically)? I mean, it's going to start coming back on the personal level. He's faced punishment in whatever demon-world he got briefly stuck in, but that's something a guy could easily just shrug off as unfair...

I want to take a moment to deep dive into the “mysterious force” theory for a moment. The biggest problem with this idea is that there was never any indication that mana was unleashed from the temple. There wasn’t some geyser erupting from the top and according to several sources all the magic was ...

The tension of this arc is starting to get a bit exhausting, if you ask me. It'll be fine once it's all done and we can reread it in the archives, but in the moment, going at a rate of three pages a week, boy does it get hard not to get burned out on it. If there isn't some sort of significant and ...

After going back to the beginning of the story, I'm thinking, what if it has something to do with water and the effects are delayed? It's seems subtly hinted at in a couple strips. http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2019/05/08/breaking-news http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2019/09/25/lunch-brea...

I like to imagine that Lana didn't have that picture on her desk until Keene put it there this morning.

Nobody

Frankly, I envy Marion for getting assigned Kafka. They made me read Moby Dick and Scarlet Letter. While Scarlet Letter at least has some historical significance, it should be illegal to inflict Moby Dick on people without their permission.

Nobody

Getting back to Kafka, I still feel bad for Marion. He may still be a mammal instead of a giant bug but when you compare his situation to Lois it’s hard to be optimistic or have any kind of helpful perspective about this. Lois is still a predator and only lost like a foot or so height wise. Marion ...

Even then, it can be really hard to tell. So much of communication is in tone and body language.

The biggest reason I feel Housepets! wont end like that is there have been better stopping points such as the end of The Game or Temple Crashers 2. Housepets! Doesn't have a set "win condition", it's a cereal that keeps going. Boy, I wish I had a cereal that keeps going. Then I'd only hav...
