Housepets!

That's faster than me not understanding it at all.

I have two theories: 1. Steward has teamed up with a rival company of the Miltons, who is using the coin to turn its workers into animals for cheap and efficient labor. Marion was chosen to be turned into an animal because he moonlights as a photo-journalist who has incriminating evidence on the com...

Did anyone else read the title as a sort of pun? Like, "What works when trying to convince someone of something unbelievable? Water works."

There's a new question now. Exactly what will go wrong, and to what degree?

I want Mr. London to be changed so bad. He is such a moron but he would be perfect as an animal. Jeeves can't because he was the one who did it! ;) Bill, i've done this song and dance several times. Finally, someone that can be in awe of Falstaff and Truck. :D This is a really dumb question, but wh...

In this comic, the dice Big Nate are holding have no spots, exactly like the ones Big Julie uses in the musical.

Well, there's really only one direction this story can go now. Mrs. McGillicuddy is a god. She's more powerful than Pete, Dragon, and Kitsune combined. She used her god powers to make her pie bake abnormally fast. She did this to Marion, and will turn Falstaff and Truck into humans as punishment for...

You thought you found a friend
to get you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

I mean, it isn't a beautiful day. But the first thing that popped into my head was a U2 lyric so *shrug*

Let's hope Marion catches a break soon.

Oh, Rick. You tease.
Not what I was expecting at all. I though the last strip would be the last we saw of the K-9s. Guess we now know they're willing to help out wild animals.
Also, I didn't see the forum for the last strip. Did everyone hate on Ralph and want him to die like last time?

I want you to imagine that in a world where animals can talk. However, there are still animals that'll sneak in and wreck your house and steal your snacks and stuff (as demonstrated by the raccoons). You have no idea that magic exists. You come home to find an undomesticated animal having ripped up ...

At least now we know what Peanut was drinking. http://www.housepetscomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/2019-04-24-genius-at-work.png Those drinks should come with a warning label. But at the same time Marion has never seen so much as a teenager than in that second panel. "I got my Blue Bull a...

Ladies and gentlemen, we have the plot! This is not a drill! Something is going to happen!

I think Rick didn't show us Marion trying to contact his dad because it would be too similar to the comic of him calling his mom. Speaking of his mom, if he just made a mess of squirrel food on the floor, it makes it a lot more likely that his mom won't believe him upon returning home mistaking him ...

So, I guess this page confirms that the characters can in fact see things the readers cannot. In light of this new information, I'm just going to say that I hope none of the wolf cubs ever happens to develop a crush on anyone at that school... Well, considering they're the only animals at school I'...

That's one of the reasons I like the early stages of Housepets! arcs. There's so many possible ways this story could go and they're all so interesting in their own right. :D And it's almost never the way you expect it to go. But for real. We've been ignoring the biggest, most important mystery of a...

Marion's finals may have to orals..... Pray he somehow kept his masculine vocal chords. Rick already possibly stole his nuts, he has so little left I guess Rick made him experience every squirrel's worst nightmare then. Losing his nuts. Because squirrels eat nuts. And he's female now. This is very ...

Today's episode of Housepets is brought to you by: El Goonish Shive, bringing you teenage drama, gender bending and squirrels since 2002. Hoo boy, quite a lot revealed in this comic. Remember when everyone was debating Marion's gender? Seems like that was what Rick wanted us to do. When I first loo...

I mean, the most obvious reason for this transformation is the coin, right? Well... remember when Steward first got the coin? His change was almost instant. Marion probably would have noticed the change if he were awake, and if he were sleeping I don't think he'd be able to hold the coin. I don't kn...

It's my birthday, and Rick has gifted me with a punchline based on some of the required reading I had this school year. Good thing he chose Kafka and not The Things They Carried, I don't want to see Peanut go to Nam.

You, good person, have made my day.

Have you ever seen three panels and immediately known that they were going to be three of the most divisive panels in internet history?

New Headcanon: Max let Peanut be the main character of The Lion King because he really wanted to be Scar.

Remember kids, shipping is fun, but should never hurt anyone.

Not to sound like a broken record, but if this arc does end up leading to the denial of Grapenut (Sorry, I just don't buy tickets to that ship) and Tarot breaking up with Peanut as she realized she just couldn't be a girlfriend, I again wonder if Rick has plans to introduce someone similar to Peanu...

Aside from recent punchlines, I can't really think of many times that Tarot controls Peanut. I feel like a bigger problem with their relationship is how often Tarot disappears or acts without consulting Peanut. I'm not sure though. Feel free to link me to evidence to the contrary.

I don't know if anyone has already said this, but he's really, really good at introducing new characters. It's rare for a webcomic to have been going on for so long and still introduce new interesting and funny characters with such frequency.

I just don't want this whole shipping thing to make people hate any character in the comic. That said, I really think this arc is needed and makes for good comic material. I haven't actually seen a lot of media where characters can discuss relationships in a healthy setting. Most of the time it's us...
