Where did you hear of Housepets!?

My brother. Not sure how he found it though.

Really? That's neat!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Dec 11, 2018 5:53 pm

Is your brother also on the forum or does he just read the comic?

furrygamer793 · Post by **furrygamer793** » Wed Dec 12, 2018 4:49 pm

I don't think he knows the forums exist.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Dec 13, 2018 4:58 pm

Maybe you should tell him. The more the merrier.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Thu Dec 13, 2018 5:32 pm

Exactly!!

It was from a list of furry webocomics on the Fur Affinity forums, IIRC.

Oooooh. Then maybe we might have a few more members from over there come join us.

I first heard it mentioned in memes on r/furry_irl. After reading some comments praising the series, I checked it out and have been hooked since.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Jan 25, 2019 6:22 pm

I'm so devoted to the series I managed to claw my way back into the forum.

I first heard of Housepets! on a now defunct anti-PeTA site, the first strip I saw was where Jeff attacks Joel, from there I read up on it, and became a fan, I actually had Grape as my avatar on that site for a while.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Mar 27, 2019 5:52 pm

I do have to wonder exactly what do PETA think about the ACTUAL comic? xD

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Wed Mar 27, 2019 7:26 pm

They probably hate it, if they know it exists.

I was looking for mega man sprite comics in 2012 and i found it on the top webcomics list. Just meant to have a quick look out of curiosity but ended up reading the entire archive several times over 3 days.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Mar 27, 2019 11:30 pm

You read ALL of the strips in 3 days?

I envy you and your commitment to getting caught up to the present so you could get all of the info you needed on the comic.

biddyfox · Post by **biddyfox** » Fri Mar 29, 2019 7:28 pm

just the one day. then i read it twice more. Thus, three days! I could read pretty fast but i didnt have social skills which i suppose is one of those tradeoffs you end up making in life

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 12:50 am

Wow you sir are definitely dedicated to the comic and I am in awe of you going through the whole comic THREE times!

I don't have the best social skills either and it still took me 2 months to catch up to the (then) current strip.

Nathan Kerbonaut · Post by **Nathan Kerbonaut** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 4:12 pm

That is remarkable

It took me several days to get through it all, and for a while all I could see, think, and breathe was Housepets. At the time it felt like if I were any more dedicated I woulda fried my brain with the amount of content to process. To each their own, I guess~

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 10:08 pm

...How is it even POSSIBLE to get through EVERYTHING in several days? As I said, it took me 2 months to get caught up. Just days or weeks to start from the beginning to catch up to the present just seems unfathomable.

I imagine it be possible as long as you figure out quickly most of the Spot (superdog) and imaginate arcs are always filler, though takes a lot of commitment and lack of blinking to do

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Apr 03, 2019 9:15 pm

Yeah I don't think I could EVER do that.

I mean, if you don't read everything, it doesn't count as reading everything. :b

If we're talking about biddyfox, there were far fewer strips in 2012, but even reading hundreds in a day was quite a feat.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Apr 04, 2019 12:26 pm

That is what I was getting at and why I was so impressed. Even if I had started reading at that point and I didn't as I started in July of 2014, I would NEVER be able to do all of that. He must have really strong concentration. x3

biddyfox · Post by **biddyfox** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 12:18 am

There also was basically literally nothing else to do at the time, so I got really really into it. (also i'm a girl hehe)

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 10:45 am

Glad to know that since this forum needs more females.

LunarFox · Post by **LunarFox** » Mon Apr 22, 2019 9:08 am

I was bored and needed something to do. I ended up looking up 'best anthro webcomics,' and well, I found this, and binged it in about two days (and I found it a year ago, so there were a lot of strips to read). Having too much free time is good for a few things, I guess!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Apr 22, 2019 12:06 pm

So you read EVERY SINGLE STRIP including the one-offs and the guest strips in two days? No breaks? If that is true, it is making me jealous as it still took me two weeks to get caught up in 2014.

LunarFox · Post by **LunarFox** » Mon May 06, 2019 8:31 am

Yeah, actually... it was a weekend and I didn't have anything to do, so...

Yeah, the entire archives, guest strips and all!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon May 06, 2019 10:54 am

...I have SERIOUSLY need to get the focus that some of you guys have. <>

Hooray for the "Archives" - that led to ordering the books (I've given Book One as a gift to several colleagues).

How did they react to that?

Padgriffin · Post by **Padgriffin** » Fri May 10, 2019 12:38 am

Saw the comic mentioned on /r/furry_irl. Been hooked ever since.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri May 10, 2019 3:26 pm

Just curious though how long did it take you to read everything and get all caught up?

Well, one of them is definitely hooked. Her husband runs a comic store so I'd like to think he's selling them. Two others started reading them after their kids got ahold of them. (One of those got hooked on the Bones series from his eleven-year old son so I wasn't surprised.) Others, well, they're probably being polite. Haven't given any away since I moved. Maybe this Christmas. Better'n fruitcake, right?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun May 12, 2019 1:55 pm

Is it actually possible for a comic store to sell the books themselves if they don't have Rick's permission?

LunarFox · Post by **LunarFox** » Wed Jun 12, 2019 7:19 am

I suppose if they were to buy a bunch and then re-sell, then yeah.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Jun 12, 2019 2:22 pm

Wouldn't that be like breaking some law about reselling stuff that you already bought from someone else? I will admit I'm not too much in the know when it comes to business laws.

Bandit1990 · Post by **Bandit1990** » Wed Jun 12, 2019 9:48 pm

Under the First Sale Doctrine, buying and reselling the books would be allowed under US copyright law. You just can't produce your own copies of them.

The store would have to add a significant markup to make it cost effective though.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Jun 12, 2019 10:10 pm

How much would the markup have to be?
