Title Text: We have mcdonalds at home

Motherhood: a profession that requires saintly patience. Especially when the gods throw tantrums.

These two kits haven't changed one bit.

Also, I think this female fox is either Kitsune or his mate.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and that Craig and Draig are both the Gryphon and Dragon in mortal forms.

This is both deserving on so many levels and hilarious :lol:. I wonder how often they'll show up in the comic?

What’s worse than being mortal
is having a mom in command
even if, when you’re hurt,
she’ll take you by the hand
and say “It doesn’t matter, little one,
Mother will make it all better.
I’ll protect you forever, my loves”
You’ll never want to forget her.
Draig’s resentful but Craig’s a brat,
but then we knew that any way.
All kids are when forced to eat
and they’re dragged away from play.
A new dynamic has entered the mix.
The little pair? Do it all for Kix.

I agree Arel. It is pretty much a given at this point that they are in fact Dragon and Pete.

Draig is Norse for dragon. Craig is Norse for rock. Pete is short for Peter which means rock.

Draig is Dragon. Craig is Pete (The feisty one).
Or so it seems...

You can never tell with Rick.

Well this nicely answers just about all my questions raised by the previous strip. I don't know if this means I should be more patient and trust everything will become clear or Rick addressed so many of my points because I asked it. No crazy hijinks or sluggy freelance? What kind of a comic is this!
Arel_Grim wrote:Notice how the kits have the same colors as dragon and Pete Yellow and Green :shock:
I don't understand why youse guys are so fixated on the eyes and not something like them trying to retake their immortal forms. Going off eye color alone would indicate their mom is Cerberus.
Vanice wrote:Ok so....Which is Craig and which is Draig? I don't want another who is whom problem like with Summer and Spring
I say the one on our left is Draig and the one wanted pop tarts is Craig because those are similar to Dragon and Pete respectively and the personality of each matches the respective demigod. Sigh, and because the eyes match.

I knew she was a malamute. they all said I was crazy and she's a husky, but I knew. *muttering becomes unintelligible*

well the eyes were not the reason that i thought that it was them, the first clue that I got and that reminded me about Pete and Dragon was that they were talking about them getting there Immortal forms back and well the eyes were just more evidence to prove my theory

People pointed it out on the discord so I'll point it out here aswell

Draig -> Dragon
Craig -> Pete
Kix -> Kixune

Even as demigods, they were brother and sister though. That ship sank pretty much when that was revealed.

I just know I'm going to eat my words in 2 days-week, but I don't think Kix is Kitsune. To a demigod living a mortal life is seen as punishment. This would mean GK would stoop to being a fellow prisoner just to be those two's jailer. While torturing Pete and Dragon with mundaneness may get a laugh, he too would be forced to eat beetle stew, metaphorically and literally.

:lol: "Agony!!!" :lol: This is so well deserved, and so beautiful to behold :lol: I hope we get to see these two occasionally :D
Also, it appears their mom is part of the Opener following, which is kind of an extra cherry on top as Pete will be forced to practice the religion he founded :lol:

Her name is Kix. Underneath the name and date of the strip are the "tags" for all the characters in that strip. If you click on them you will be taken to a page with all their apperencees and if you edit that url by adding '+' and another name, for example http://www.housepetscomic.com/character/peanut+king/, you can cross reference to see only the strips they both are in (the page will say only one character, but it is factoring in all the "+name"s that were included). By process of elimination you can determine Kix is the mother because there were Draig and Craig tags in the previous strip when mum hadn't appeared yet. Using the tags isn't foolproof for example neither Draig nor Craig have been in a strip without the other so we can't say definitively which is which, we can only make evidence backed conjecture. Same thing with the horses at the farm, we know their names without them ever being said; we don't know which one is Money for Nothing and which one is Action Replay, but the brown one is Made of Win. There are some mistakes too, like Maxwell is tagged for Muchas Smooches without being onscreen or having any lines, but mistakes like that are rare.
Edit: Fixed spelling and added a bit more on how to use tags.

What Wallace said. Also to see the tags you have to be looking at the permanent link for the strip. They don't show up on The Main Page.

I think Kix has a connection to Kitsune, in some kind of way. We don't know for sure though and in what way.
Also, Kitsube is technically their jailor as the game master who helped writing the contract. And Kitsune isn't bound to the mortal body like the other two. As a demigod he could still talk with King in America while doing what do I know in Australia. He said himself that he is always everywhere. I doibt aswell that the taste of food is such a big deal for him.
But the main reason why I think he is connected with Kix to have the ability to control theese two. Not just by what they do but also talking down their past memories as seen in todays strip.

P.S. this vould get really inresting when they hit the teenager time

Their mom must have the patience of a person watching a tortoise crawl through molasses while watching paint on the tortoise dry. I must commend her for her incredible patience in dealing with their nonsense. *Claps*

It's gonna be like having TWO Calvins.

Also, Kix are for Trids!

Draig is the red fox with dragon-green eyes (who looked a lot chubbier in the previous strip, I guess it was the perspective) where it was revealed she had a temple in Egypt like Dragon does. So, Dragon.

Craig is the brown fox with gryphon-gold eyes who used to be Pete.

Kix has blue eyes. That's an odd color for a fox too. Might have a bit of husky in her family tree.

Would it be possible for me to join the discord? I've been trying to see if there was an official Housepets! discord online but had no luck finding out if there was one. Also does anyone else think that the third and fourth panels go along with the 'This human form is limiting' baby picture?

Kix must have the patience of a saint to have put up with these two for the past couple years and still have such a cheerful attitude. I am, however, eagerly anticipating the inevitable scary "I'm going to wash your mouth out with soap if you say one more word" mom face. :P
