[2018/05/25 - Dish It Out ]
Title Text: feel free to keep the dish, I'm still some months from operating the dishwasher

Cut him some slack, Sabrina, not everyone can wing a hot dish.

Well he couldn't dish it out, so why would he bake it?

I'll give you some credit Keene for at least trying.

It's nice to see him making an effort. Not quite there yet, but he's on the right track

Well, at least he's trying.

Ooh! Velveeta! That is a delicacy, Sabrina - you must forgive him!

If he can afford to give away dishes for some months then he must still have quite the allowance for a middle-class home-owner.
You haven't distracted me Rick Griffin, I'm still waiting for Max to spill the beans about his relationship with Rufus.

I already like where this is going. I can already see this leading to something great for both comedy and character development.

Also how are there already so many other posts here the strip has only been out for 20 minutes lol

He did buy a house for the sole purpose of "finding himself."

That's what happens around here. People read and comment on a comic as soon as it comes out so in case someone else has the same reaction so they can get credit for saying it first. On the flip side people don't comment on old comments because they're afraid of being labeled a necromancer for bumping an old thread.

Plenty of humorous/developmental possibilities now.

Also, we're only against "necro-posting" if the post adds nothing to the conversation.

The third panel can basically sum the the entire upper class of America.

Bandit1990 · Post by **Bandit1990** » Fri May 25, 2018 12:48 am

Also, "Hot Dish" is a mid-western term for a casserole, so anyone still trying to pinpoint where in the US BG is supposed to be there's some more info for you.

(I remember finding an ancient thread where someone was comparing types of trees and weather patterns and overlaying maps. I don't think they reached a solid conclusion.)

"And I moved in there because no-one is more likely to tell me if I do something wrong than you, dear Sabrina"

So, fresh Halibut is evil?

Humility is a new word,
one I'm trying to learn to spell.
Another thing I learned today
is how bad hot Cat food can smell.
I'm trying so hard to be humble,
even though I'm pretty and wise;
I'm just trying not to stumble
as my ego is drained to your size.
I've left my mansion now;
I'm living like you common folk.
Of course I can return any day
if I find your life is a joke.

Existential question :

Why Keene needs cooking gloves when Sabrina is hands naked to take the dish ?

Post by **Obbl** » Fri May 25, 2018 1:00 am

I would assume it's part of trying to fit into the middle class life, which just makes me love this even more

Maybe the dish was hot enough to warrant mitts when Keene Took it out of the oven (microwave?) but in the time from then till he got to her house it was cool enough for bare paws.

Well, at least he's trying.

Sabby's always found him trying.

"Hot dish"? Babylon Gardens must be neighbors to Lake Wobegon or Keene is channeling his inner Garrison Keillor.

leinglo · Post by **leinglo** » Fri May 25, 2018 2:58 am

That sounds like it's going to be interesting for both of them. Breel certainly wont be much help on the cooking front, since it's been about 100 years since he's last encountered the concept of actual cooking, burning, spoiling, or stuff just not tasting very good.

Soerix · Post by **Soerix** » Fri May 25, 2018 4:14 am

Keene is so well-meaning ^^

To think this arc has lasted over a year...
The end of Year 10 is getting close. I hope this is not the end of Housepets

dusk · Post by **dusk** » Fri May 25, 2018 5:05 am

What I have loved about this is that we are seeing little snapshots from everyone at the end of this major arc. Very interesting, I think.

So...

...does this mean Maxwell gets to stay in the mansion now?

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Fri May 25, 2018 6:01 am

You know, it occurs to me that we haven't seen a strip including some Fido/Sabby love since like 2014. I demand more Sabrido! pls Rick

Even better - is he living with Keene and Breel? And unless this is some sort of funny brick joke from the last comic, possibly Grape?

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Fri May 25, 2018 6:21 am

1. I'm getting so many "greetings fellow kids" vibes from this.

2. He doesn't actually need the mitts, he's just wearing them because he's watched too many sitcoms.

3. Speaking of sitcoms, also getting "Mr Drysdale trying to buddy up to the Clampetts" vibes.

4. WHAT ABOUT SOPHIA?

Arimuss · Post by **Arimuss** » Fri May 25, 2018 7:24 am

Man, Keene and Breel living together, that really gives me the warm fuzzies inside... though i would imagine this would mean that both of them will now have an adjustment period.

Still.... snugged up by the fireside seems pretty decent compensation for it.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri May 25, 2018 9:22 am

I bet Keene got those mitts at "Bed, Bath, and Beyond." Is that the kibble with Sasha's picture on it? Come on, Rick ... Product placement, sir, product placement.

TheSilverFox51 · Post by **TheSilverFox51** » Fri May 25, 2018 9:47 am

Aw... He's very cute when he is trying

No, it's Citty Cibble, not Canine Cibble.

I'll give you a tip for free, Keene. Middle-class America is not a foreign culture. It's the same culture, just with less money.

Same rich tastes and everything! Just with no money to satisfy those tastes...

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri May 25, 2018 10:09 am

Citty Cibble? Okay, wonder who's on the bag? Thanks, Argent...

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Fri May 25, 2018 11:06 am

The super rich are not just a different culture, they're a different species.

But that's not such a big deal in the HP world.

You know the line. Say it with me now. "The rich are different from the rest of us. They have more money."

Cody · Post by **Cody** » Fri May 25, 2018 12:57 pm

Wait - did I miss something? Keene and Breel bought a house together and Keene just left the mansion? Is that what he meant by "more modest accommodations"? If so, then EEEEE I bet they are so cute together inside their own home. :3 I wonder what their new house looks like, and if Keene could stave off the temptation of buying too large of a house.
"It's not a mansion, it's a villa!"

Also, yeah, we haven't forgotten about Max's relations with Rufus just yet, Rick! I've been reading into it since Monday!

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri May 25, 2018 1:10 pm

Keene's gonna make amends? To everybody?? There ain't that much Cibble in the cosmos !! Breel and Keene will be back in the Other worlds before that task is completed!

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Fri May 25, 2018 1:11 pm

Oh, it's great that Keene is changing himself more and is improving his humility.

Very good you figured that, Keene.

Eww, that hot dish you prepared sounds horrible to eat...

We understand that these ways are new for you, let's just appreciate the act and the effort.

Yeah, if Keene is using kitchen gloves to hold the baking tin, how come Sabrina doesn't need them?

Or the food is no more so much hot, or Sabrina is really magic...
