Well, welcome to this valley of madness, Spriggs.

If you don't mind me asking, however, my question is: If we are free to call you Grief Griff, why is that not your username?

I'm... I'm really not sure what you're trying to convey. Per the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the phrase "stomping ground" refers to a favorite or habitual resort. As the forums are open to everyone who wishes to join, they are, in fact, the stomping ground of many persons. I know I frequent the place.

I find that now is as good of time as any to say hello to this community! I've been reading Housepets! for a long while now and finally decided to join the forums officially.

But enough of that, lets get on to who I am.

So, erm, I'm a casual gamer, MTG addict, and novice artist going to college for Agronomy. I recently came out as a furry (still quite awkward about it, but i'm assimilating) and I am currently trying to discover my art style, I have a few things I did free hand, although I definitely have a long way to go.

So, Heyo and stuff, see you forum-side!

Oh, I was meaning it as that, however, that means bad news for y'all (mostly meaning I am going to try to be that member who cracks a joke when possible :p)

I can understand that and apologize. Though since more then one person was talking on the subject, plus the fact that I was quoted in said message, I thought it was directed to both of us . A simple misunderstanding

Hello, everyone!

Unlike some people who have apparently powered through the archive quickly, I've taken more time—I'm not sure exactly how long it's been, but I'm thinking a span of weeks at the least. I've finally caught up, though, and can join everyone here on the fora without fear of spoilers!

I learned about Housepets! thanks to TVTropes—I encountered their page for Housepets! a number of times, and though I generally don't do a lot of webcomic-reading, I decided to check it out one day. I don't remember why, but I'm glad I did.
