Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
She’s caught him in the kitchen,
Cookieing up some trouble.
One tackle from a kitten
and now he’s seeing double.
She’s worked out how to pounce
in order to floor her prey.
It’s not the subtlest of hellos;
he’s going down anyway.
And Lana’s on her way too,
to hear of his confession?
But we may get the truth now….
If that’s in his possession.
Kevin has competition!!!

Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
After reviewing the play, the tackle was VALID and there was no foulplay.
Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
Kevin is going to be so jealous.
Lois does know how to make an entrance. I think she has the ferrets attention.
Also, Breel is terrible at taking messages. Or Lana is terrible at relaying information.

Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
Keene just died and Breel is like "Ooh Visitors." Dude you are not in Heaven anymore. People barging into your house and attacking you is not a good thing.
Keene's cooking skills are coming along considering the "casserole" he gave Sabrina.
Love Lois's attack. She's gotten "predatory carnivore" down pact. She is so not messing around with this entire TF thing. Marion has breakfast and tries to get to school. Lois just straight up kills someone.

Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
Honey? Well, that's a first.
--
Keene, honey, you're in trouble,
I think that's plain to see,
Your plan's about to fall to rubble-
There's trouble in the ECP.
Lois, she's having none of this,
She's gone right to the source,
Her leap didn't seem to miss,
She pounced with her full force.
On a side note, it seems real wierd
To have Breel call Keene 'honey.'
He'll stand on the sides, not a-feared
Of a flying bobcat, ain't that funny?
Funny, no, why no it's not,
At least not to our newest friends,
They've got Keene caught, he's on the spot,
Now maybe we'll get amends.
This arc, well, it's due to end soon,
By Christmastime, we know,
Will anyone not look like a loon
By that time? We don't know.

Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
Someone asked last strip about this being the right house despite it being larger then ferret/marten sized. The title text explains they added accommodations. I know Lois's species was a big debacle, but it wouldn't be right to not bring up that that is not a bobcat tail. In the last panel there is darker fur on the entire end of the tail. Bobcats have white on the underside of their tail at the end and black on the other side at the end. Something like a Canada lynx would have a tail like the one shown here. For those keeping track of inherited instincts, Lois marvelously pounced without any practice (she didn't full body tackle people as a human, right?).

Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
I would not put it past her. Maybe after the second or third time Bronson asked her out. But gaining controls of the animal quirks is something we see quite a lot. I wouldn't call it instinct as much as using the physical abilities given to you.Champion Wallace wrote: For those keeping track of inherited instincts, Lois marvelously pounced without any practice (she didn't full body tackle people as a human, right?).

Be very careful tackling in the Housepets universe. If she gets good at it she'll end up forgoing returning to human form and instead be fated to spend the rest of her life as a Doberman Pinscher.

Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
The reason I brought it up is as ambush predators, bobcats pounce a lot. I'll admit the action itself was fairly basic, but that doesn't make it easy. Doing a trust fall is the most basic thing you can do, but mentally you'll instinctually fight it. If you'd played volleyball, you'll know that diving full-body takes fortitude. It's not only relevant that she pounced so well, but also that pouncing was her go-to.fenrirblack wrote:I would not put it past her. Maybe after the second or third time Bronson asked her out.

Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
Seeing that tackle gave me a great idea. Since Lois like to play detective, she should become a police officer. We're always saying that the K9PD needs a feline and well, there you go. Kevin isn't the only one who likes to tackle. Watch enough crime dramas and someone always runs, and someone always has to tackle them to the ground. Maybe that's we're it came from. She did say she watches a lot of true crime so she could have picked it up from there. She speculated that Keene would resist so planned accordingly to ensure that the slippery ferret couldn't make a break for it.
Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
It seems Breel still hasn’t quite got the hang of the self-preservation side of being alive again.
Also, wouldn’t Poncho be at least somewhat obligated to step in at this point? He’s still technically a bodyguard for the Milton’s isn’t he?

Careful Lois. Torn-out throats are very bad for giving you information.
Or, err, at least, so i understand. *Cough*

Keene must regret firing his bodyguards now. Also those two are cute together. Nice to see Keene's taking up hobbies.
What do you mean Griffins aren’t cute?
Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
Heh Lois entering with a good ol' Hobbes style flying tackle, just not nearly as friendly!
Hmmm, I think Keene does know about Marion's case but he may be clueless about Lois. I am wondering just how much he knows about what is going on and if anything he has to say here will be of use to M&L.

Given that it only just happened, and Lana only just called up to mention it (with Breel, not Keene, taking the call) I think its safe to say he has no idea that Lois is a bobcat.Jamonius wrote:Heh Lois entering with a good ol' Hobbes style flying tackle, just not nearly as friendly!

The funny part to me is that Lana said "disgruntled new members". Lois hasn't even been asked about joining the ECP and Lana still considers her to be part of it.

I love Keene and Breel’s aprons. Neither Lois or Marion mess around too much when it comes to questioning someone.

Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
I'm a little surprised that they just let themselves in without knocking or ringing the bell. Doesn't seem terribly polite.
And how come Breel only thinks that it's Lana? Doesn't he know her voice?
* * *
Domestic life we have not often seen
Or, at least, a life without disaster
From those two mustelids Breel and Keene
But now they seem to be adapting faster
The last time that we chanced to see their place
Involved a visit from a fire truck
Keene hadn't understood the fireplace
With modern gadgets, he had not best luck
That tranquil life we thus must interrupt
To introduce now Marion and Lois
As Lois, with a greeting most abrupt
Makes it very clear that Keene must know this:
It seems that they begrudge the mustelid
His choices in the life he must a' led.

Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
Breel never fails to be sorta clueless, but really cute, and this comic is no exception
Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
I had a similar thought as I was falling asleep last night. It would be a fast way to integrate at least Lois with the rest of the cast. We have never heard her plans, maybe law enforcement was her goal.fenrirblack wrote:Seeing that tackle gave me a great idea. Since Lois like to play detective, she should become a police officer.

That doesn't help Marion, but I'm sure he can work with Terrance down in the lab.

Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
There's a lot of weirdness in this page. I'd like to touch on a few things.
First, Lana took the time to call up Keene and talked to Breel, but she didn't explain what was going on? That seems a little odd, doesn't it? Even more so that Breel responds with "I think," when asked who it was. Does Breel not know who Lana is?
Second, the dialogue in the first panel is . . . off. Lead in line: "Had to do with the ECP." Follow up line: "What was?" It sounds really weird to my ear.
Thirdly, Lois entered without knocking? How rude! How did she even get past the goon squad?
Finally, and this is the most surreal to me: Keene calls Breel honey. That seems so strange to me.
Yes, this whole thing was just a set-up to jokingly comment on Keene using a term of affection.

Lois at it again with the top-tier plays. Sadly Keene's body could not handle it, and he is now dead.

This strip conjured up vague memories of a comic in which an over-enthusiastic dog would knock down his master, stand on his chest and lick his mug on a recurring basis. Can't remember much more.

I wonder if Marion will chat with Breel while Lois interrogates Keene. If he was weirded out by King's explanation of how he came to be a dog, wait 'til he hears that Breel hails from a couple centuries back by way of the afterlife…
Heh, those two just have no idea how weird Housepets life really is.

They're both at home making good biscuits together, how cute. Yeah, the call was really important, and Keene was necessary at the office this time, but now no more, since you got the visit of those new members... Whoa, Lois, that's not a gentle way to begin. Make him questions and listen his replies, if he ever has some...

Marion: "Lois, I thought you were trying to be 'the adult in the room!'"
Lois: "You know how adult bobcats act, right?"
Marion: "..."
Lois: "Unlike you, I stayed up watching those nature documentaries in class, Mr. 'Don't-Squirrels-Have-Different-Parts.'"

Re: 2019/11/18 - Cookies And Creamed
I can see this going a couple ways. One would be Breel tries to intervene and get Lois and Keene apart. The other is Marion stops him and assures him that things are fine, that Lois is not going to hurt him.Robotech_Master wrote:I wonder if Marion will chat with Breel while Lois interrogates Keene.

It just occurred to me that, of course they are making chocolate chip cookies. If you're trying to recapture the tastes of Heaven, then what better place to start?
