Housepets!

Arbitrary

Welcome everone and Azsassin and Megamaster and Laxan (again)!

Arbitrary

Max, the universe is only spinning relative to you!

Seems like Peanut couldn't keep his big mouth shut and Grape is a cat on a mission.

And I didn't know Tarot was capable of that sort of sarcasm.

Arbitrary

I apologize for prolonging this off-topic topic. Back to how adorable Grape is.

A van with 209,360 miles on it has an engine that has turned 523,400,000 times and cylinders that have fired a collective 3,140,400,000 times. This vehicle has consumed over 8,000 gallons of gasoline. Over 30,000 USD worth of fuel. Emitted 71 metric tons of CO2. The van was purchased in 2006 and onl...

We do have a Housepets! IRC if that is what you were looking for...

I was thinking something more along the lines of learned helplessness although I wouldn't go as far to say it is Stockholm syndrome. The reason we have art, cars, even the internet is that these things were born out of necessity. But since humans are conscious on top of being intelligent (you cannot...

Tarot should know we are special just because... at least, that is how most humans think.... I think. I think (speak, have thumbs on feet) therefore I am special. That is what most humans think. If run of the mill housepets actually were sentient and could vocalize I think humanity as a whole would...

This one is of the Perseid Meteor Shower. Only one I actually managed to catch on camera.

My dog running on a beach.

Splash.

I meant to say, out of the astronomical amount of universes which exist, we are in the one where a cats walking on keyboards produce coherent responses.

Arbitrary

Just you wait, Max is gonna be on Planet's Funniest Animals before they get out of there.

Arbitrary

I don't think Grape is going to take to the leash policy here.

Humans have the upper hand, after all. Get it? Cause- I'll leave.

Arbitrary

The problem with that is I'm not a human. I'm actually a cat who walks on a keyboard and through sheer astronomical coincidence types coherent messages. This implies that all other universes in which non-coherent messages exist are destroyed proactively in a process of probability pruning. I would ...

I think we are forgetting Peanuts modus operandi: he wants to sniff everybody.

That'll be the day! It would be a bit of a trip though.

Any ideas on whether they are still in another version of Babylon Gardens or in a completely different place?

Looks like Max must learn to "use the fours" haha. Sorry.

All shall be revealed~ *waves arms mysteriously*

Arbitrary

Poor Max, going all "whyyy" in the background there. If Max thinks he can walk on two legs in this universe he is going to have a bad time.

I was running out of "L" words so I went with the potato of citrus fruits.

Allow me to speculate.

THE GALLIFRAX PROTOCOL:

Temporal Hyperspace Entity Galactic Astral Localized Lineation Integrated Fractalized Region Acclimated Xerically Postulated Randomized Objectives Tangential Omnipotence Controlled Obsolescence Lemons

Arbitrary

I think the current universe when they are all pets is part of a sliding scale of anthropomorphism and sapience. If they continue in the direction of the GALLIFRAX PROTOCOL, they will end up to a point when they are run of the mill housepets; no sapience, no thumbs. The far opposite side is when the...

KER FRAX (frax?) De-anthropomorphication!

This implies Gallifrax is the dimension we all know and love.

Arbitrary

Balto is essentially top dog, he found his way to Nome in practically whiteout conditions. Some dogs can't even find their way out of an empty room.

I loved that movie as a child. Was released on the same year I was born. Although lots of things technically were. Brb, learning about history.

Arbitrary

SkyeCaptain wrote:Balto's another one. Maybe he couldn't talk in real life but that film is mostly real, right?

I think several characters didn't exist and he wasn't half wolf in real life. But the concept is pretty accurate. Obviously they took an artistic license.

Arbitrary

I suspect Max is kept in hammerspace for Grape's convenience.

Universe surfing. When surfing the internet doesn't cut it anymore.

Arbitrary

Has anyone heard of The Plague Dogs? Just looked it up. I like the concept so I guess my evening is booked. Personally, Calvin and Hobbes has been an influence on me. Mainly the idea of a animal companion I could interact with appealed to me. Also his imaginary world simply rocked. And I would say ...

Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all... definitely longer than a week.

The internet is what you can call a "pure environment" (ironic name, I know), a sort of petri dish composed of information. Its content is shaped by those who interface with it and provide it with information. Especially now, with it's speed and unprecedented levels of connectivity and int...

Unfortunately my literature class had to do a Freudian critical lens analysis of the Lion King and forever ruined it's innocence.

Arbitrary

I never have noticed that shading on Tarot until this strip. Interesting. And if waterparks in the normal universe are fun, Gallifraxian waterparks must be fun on a bun.

Arbitrary

Parallel universes sounds a lot like the technique Peanut used for his Spot comic. Everything was actually virtual reality, retroactively negating pretty much everything Spot did up to that point. I would say it is an effective technique to explore possibilities that may not be considered possible i...

Arbitrary

Well Grape knows that she can never use Tarot as a holodeck ever again. I know I would be jealous on missing out on some Gallifraxian fun, whatever they do in that version of "the neighborhood".

Now that's a weight off my mind.

You do bring up a a valid point. I would argue that trying to definitively define the whole crowd (anthro or furry what have you) would be a bit like nailing down what blue tastes like.

Arbitrary

I tend to use the term when describing myself to individuals with a similar personal definition of the word that I have or in situations when brevity is required. Otherwise I go the long way around saying I enjoy looking at, reading, listening to, and interacting with anthro art, comics, music, and ...

Is this a discussion about a potential Housepets! audio adaptation?

We have a pretty good resource pool to draw from so I wouldn't think the issue is lack of talent. Initiative is the watchword now.

I guess time with joey wasn't good enough?

Arbitrary

Well, that was a well executed mouse trap. Aha. Ahahaa. I'm a terrible person.

Arbitrary

Well, I'm not saying people here are, but less fortunate and less understanding regions of the net and real life exploit the term to abhorrent effect. In any case, what you said appears to be in line with my statements, it is behavioral definition, sure. But behavior is emergent of personality and i...

Arbitrary

The word "furry" and really any sort of term used by an individual to define themselves or used by someone to define an individual is bound to cause problems. It isn't a concrete term but the representation of an idea, and that idea itself varies from person to person. Like the word "...

The left one, of course!
