Housepets!

Even an app ignores Tiger.

What do we call the one offs that have sequels?
Two-offs?

I love how Zach says what weee all thinking. “Kiss Off,Slappy.?” What? What does even mean?
Oh, Tiger remember you are loved. Maybe not respected but loved.

Two one-off pairs in a row! what could it mean? Oh, it just there were four slots to fill before guest week and this fits in nicely? Ok.
"Kiss off, slappy" seems like a really weird catch phrase to me, even by Tiger standards.

Silly Tiger, everyone knows that the best catch-phrases happen by accident. Just ask the Mythbusters.

I mean... yeah no it’s not a good catchphrase Tiger

I have the Google Assistant on my phone, and a Home Mini, and this a very common occurrence. I feel your pain Tiger.

That's the Tiger we all know and love.

Zach's facial expressions these last two strips have been on point. He has never been so relatable than he is right now. The more I think about it Zach is like the most "normal" pet in the series. He is the embodiment of normalcy (at least personality wise). Compared to everyone else I mean. I guess Marvin would be more "normal" but only because we rarely see him.

It seems some wild animal borrowed my notebook...

Of course it larfs for Zach;
everyfing he sais is gold;
a leson to live your life by,
a tale that nefur will get old.
The Opener is scent to leed us,
to bring us fresh into the dae;
it’s why we hang upon his wurd,
his diary and things he doth say.
Our faith in him is groing,
partly becose he is so meek.
Our tennet of passion is followed;
you only find becose you seek.

I'd like to point out he is in the exact same pose as in "Tiger and Friends".

I feel like Tiger might be trying too hard to live his life as a T.V. character in an attempt to escape the cruel real world.

Or maybe I'm just overthinking something that has no reason. We all know Tiger's a psychopath.

It's a callback, Champion.

There just needs to be a chapter tilted “Tiger and Friends” that...I don’t even know but something with Tiger and Marvin getting into serious trouble and trying to figure out how to fix it before Jerry finds out.

Is Zach rolling his eyes in the second panel or looking for an escape route?

Aren’t we all trying to escape the harsh reality of the real world. I would give anything to escape.

For whatever it’s worth Tiger would not score high enough on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist to qualify as a psychopath. He’s something else.

Zach thinks "......aaaaaaand this is why i'd ruther live in a tree!"

Today’s episode of “Tiger and Friends” has been brought to you once again by the letter P. P as in peevishnesss.

He probably scores high on the Rabbit Psychopathy Checklist though. As Zach compiles it.

1/10

Lack of Marvin.

You know it’s strips like those that make me wonder if Tiger is mildly aware of the fourth wall

The irony of those two strips is the fact Marvin said “everything does feel kinda same-y” then you see Tiger in the exact same pose.

Zach: ".....aaaaand I'm backing away sloooooowly … sloooowly … slooowly … no sudden moves … Marvin's already gone ... he left the door open … sloowly … and (now) pivot … turn my back … RUN!"

Eheh, this app doesn't always work with you, Tiger, even an object goes against you. And, what sort of weird phrase is that? Zach can say it better, as seems.

I think we are about to witness Tiger verses an iPhone.

I'll put down money on the iPhone. XD

Er, let me rephrase it then. We all know Tiger's crazy.
Possibly Bino fits more into the role of a psychopath.

Tiger is very unique because he falls in so many mental disorders. Sometimes I wonder if he is crazy or just lazy. Beyond that I do believe he has Intermittent explosive disorder. Part of me wonders if he's bipolar.
Bino probably is a psychopath but he's not very good at it. Let me rephrase that, according to the Hare Psychopathy Checklist he definitely is. He checks almost all the boxes.

Aside from one cat that the characters themselves labeled as delusional, I don’t think Rick has intentionally given any of his characters mental disorders.

Well, Tiger was the punchline of a strip titled Because Mental Disorders Are Funny.

How did you even remember that? The strip is one thing, the title of the thing is a while different beastcentirely.

Somebody should become a pet psychologist. I'm sure they would be rich if they had just Tiger alone.

I was actually going to do that once back in undergrad. I majored in psychology and focused on animal behavior. Life's funny.

I don't have a good answer for that. One contributor might be you can go directly to a particular strip by editing the url if you know at least the first part of the strip title so using that feature is an incentive for and reenforces learning strip names. I wonder if housepets! is pushing anything more important out of my brain to make room. Also, Fixed!

Considering Tiger's price range is two month old stale marshmallows, I don't think it would be very profitable being Tiger's psychologist. I doubt you could squeeze much money out of Jerry either. He certainly doesn't like Tiger's "adorable and distressingly frequent antics", but the only action he's taken so far is phisicaly chucking him off the premises one time.

You know since pets in the HP! universe function a lot like young children, you would think that owners would try to get them help if they need it. It sort of is distressing how Jerry, Jeff and Mr. Hartford sort of don't really care much.

No, you wouldn't be rich. You'd be unemployed because you'd get frustrated and quit your job.

I think we could find someone to help.

Well, Tiger certainly does feel at home on a couch … paging Dr. Freud.
