Housepets!

Peanut being cute as always.

... Ok, this is becoming super interesting now. Is Fox taking Sasha to see Tarot? What for? To see the past? Please don't tell me she's possessed.

Sabrina is also channeling Grape. x3

Also: Peanut is totally a good boyfriend <3

You beat me to it.

I hope they watch a 3D movie when Fox dives through a window and Peanut just thinks it's part of the movie.

But, if they're dealing with mind control and the remnants of the cosmic game, Tarot is the closest thing Keene has to an enemy...

Cutting in across the Foxes plot,
Peanut recounts the gifts he’s got
to the coolest old girl he knows.
He’s acting as a boyfriend should,
hoping still to make it good
and that it never comes to blows.
Tarot knows what’s coming,
she’s seen it and she’s running
toward Sasha or headed away?
Who could break a mental hold
easier than a Pomeranian bold...
who could have put it in anyway?

Oh look it's Peanut !

without tags, I can't tell if this is a one-off intermission or still part of the story. I'm hoping part of the story, because Tarot being involved is definitely a good sign

I second that! Tarot getting involved always mixes things up in a great way! let's hope its connected to this ark! RIP romantic night tho if so
So much to talk about concerning Tarot and Peanuts interaction here too! Good stuff! Here's hoping for some more sweet development between those two

And then Fox is gonna leap through the window, yelling "NotimetoexplainSasha'sinsaneDoggernautisaftermeHELPMEEEE!"

I really don't think Tarot would try and kill or wish Keene dead just because he's got a bit of mana left over from Pete, then again she did willingly try and fight Bailey to the death just because she was the opposing avatar, but that's at least a more solid and understandable reason.

Tarot has pretty much zero motive to be an enemy to Keene, or a friend for that matter, really never even met the guy to my knowledge.

I would even go so far and say if the attempted murder on Keene has ANYTHING to do with the game, Tarot would be the first one to help him.
Last time we saw if anyone had enough of the game it was Tarot

Who's a good boyfriend? Peanut is! Yes he is!

Peanut is looking adorable today, moreso than usual!

Oh look it's Peanut.
*sees no muscles*
Oh thank goodness...

Peanut moves - Serious series ~ Serious Romance.

At least Peanut is trying, instead of DSing his relationship away! Go Peanut be a good boyfriend

Methinks Tarot's about to drop some magics on the ongoing plot here.

The game is over, anyway.

No, I think Tarot is preparing to confront Sasha or whoever's controlling her.

Wow, it feels like its been a while since we've seen bright vibrant colors!

Wow.... do you realize its been almost a full year since weave seen peanut?


I really am glad we finally are having a one off or even just getting away from the fox line... it went on so long... Something seems strange about peanut. I don't think its the art-style though, i think many its just that we have never seen him do those particular expressions before? his jowls just seem so strangely large and pointy in the pics on the right.... yet they look normal on the ones to the left.....

Hmmmmmm.... I'm going to chalk it up to strange angle and expression since both of those are new for peanut.

I was hoping this was just an intermission. We were probably overdue for some Tarnut (Pearot? I already forgot)

Oh, it's really nice to see again Peanut! That's good of him, finally taking take of his girlfriend being so romantic, he grew up now. Eheh, but looks that's Tarot who doesn't really care of him, at least only for this moment. Yeah, would be good have an intermission of Tarot and Sabrina, they could surely help about what's going wrong with Sasha. I bet Fox is bringing her there.
This comic page is part of the story according to this page.

I would figure there would be a "To be continued" on the last page if that was true. Also, looks like Tarot is gunning for the door. Though i'm not sure if she can still do that gag anymore with her powers being almost gone. *shrugs*

Peanut looks crazy good in this strip! Especially in the last panel

It's been just over half a year since we saw Peanut in the Fort Pillow arc.

Yes Peanut, you are a good boyfriend and you're adorbs. Also what is Tarot doing just zipping around the house like that?

It's her house - unless Sabrina's dropping in on Tarot's sleepover.

Poor Peanut. He just wanted cuddles.

By the way, that texture on the wall looks pretty neat. Nice touch Rick !

Peanut is a very good boy

Tarot, give that dog some attention!

A year and a half.
A year and a half.

Were there any Peanut-droughts this bad before? I'd like to know.

It's actually been that long? :O

We got the Spot arc and the fort pillow one, which were in january and april respectively.

Something tells Me Peanut, our good old childish friend is slowly losing His grip on His own relationship, sailing towards another heartbreak in one form or another.

I forgot about the fort pillow ark

I was referring to the Housepets 10000BC or whatever number it was.

Eh, that's if they ever truly were in a real relationship. I mean, don't get me wrong, they do seem cute together, but their relationship always came across as a convenient way to introduce the cosmic game. At least, that's the vibe I got. She literally just popped up out of nowhere right before the game arc. I don't know... Maybe it's just me still being a little bitter over Grape and Peanut not being together

Sometimes things come full circle in comic strips and all narrative fiction. I wouldn't rule out anything in a work of fiction until the last strip.

Peanut and Grape OTP

*blows dust off of account... again*

Just popping in to say that Tarot's potential involvement leads me to believe that a loose plot thread I've been waiting for ages to show up might finally be poking it's furry little head up to check for winter. A plot thread that mostly has to do with THIS comic.
https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/20 ... itigation/

In that comic, Pete specifically mentions four other people who should be on trial with him if the game is illegal. Depending on how he counts, given Kitsune's presense in the pews, that means we have either two or three other demigods in this gaming group who haven't shown there heads just yet.
Or have they...

No, no. This entire idea already has too many uncertain statements. No Golden Kitsune statue need be involved in this conversation.
*pushes Golden Kitsune statue over the pier*
Or did you...
Yes, I did.
...well glub.

Anyway, the past few pages have been making me think that Sarah might have been made an avatar. She's been pushing the borderline for what could be considered "in character" for her. Oh she is certainly smarter than she acts, flirtatious, and all kinds of contrary I wouldn't even know where to begin. But from the moment she expressed knowledge of how to properly disable a motor moped I knew something was up.

Now, Tarot won't be able to just up an excise a demigod. She's no longer a player character in the game, so can try if she wants too... but she also no longer has the power. Thing is, as a former avatar of a less than agreeable partnership, she is in the position to advice Sarah on exactly what her rights are in this relationship. Mind you, there's a [made up statstic] chance that Sarah will just say "What makes you think I'm not completely OK with what he/she is doing?" In which case... back to square one.

Oh... and what do people think the odds of Mungo being an avatar as well? He did just Tom and Jerry himself through a fence, after all.

A lot of people have been thinking the same, though not in quite as much detail.
Also, Sarah? Are you posting from a phone?

Well, you're not entirely wrong on the "convenience" aspect of Tarot coming into Peanut's life.
