Can someone help me here, i have a question. What do the pets eat? I’ve seen them eating dry food, and i’ve seen them at the table (one of the 2008 thanksgiving strips). if anybody knows, plz tell me!
They eat whatever. It is presumably up to the owners to supply food for pets, so if the pet has a particularly caring owner they may get something other than kibble.
Well, we do know that the Dogs (and presumably the cats) have easy access to various forms of kibble; it’s presumably reasonably good, especially since they can talk about it and request the brands they like.
Tiger gets to have pizza and cookies.
Rex bakes cookies (and presumably eats at least some of them).
Grape and Peanut do have their own table with their own dishes, but eat with the family at least on special occasions and have free access to the soda and ice cream (needed to make rootbeer floats).
The various dogs usually bring dog biscuits/cookies to the Good Ol Dogs Club meetings.
Bino has access to the pantry and the dog snacks/treats (from the first Christmas gift exchange).
Peanut has access to either a seriously specialized caterer/pinata maker or at least “four different kinds of tripe” (if he filled the Pinata himself).
Grape references eating the insides of cows during the farm arc.
Grape also eats a mouse during mouse-mouse revolution.
I’m not sure chocolate-covered espresso beans really count as “food”, but Grape had those.
A pet (I think it was Peanut got) chocolate at Halloween.
Joey is having a commercial cup of something at the bookstore during the Pridelands arc.
The bonus “allowance” strip shows Grape with access to tripe and Peanut having a vision of buying all meat on a shopping trip.
That’s all I can think of offhand; I’d say that the pets can eat almost anything a human does, mostly would prefer meat, and actually get to eat whatever their owners are willing to supply – but most of the owners seem willing to indulge them fairly casually. Ergo, a basic diet with lots of treats. Pretty much like any kid, except that their basic diet is kibble instead of peanut butter and jelly or macaroni and cheese and such.
Well, announcing “Treasure Map” and letting people put that together with “twenty billion dollars unaccounted for” should get them a lot of visitors and a great deal of excitement. What more could a ferret ask for?
Perhaps Mr Milton wanted them amused after his death, and has left a whole string of treasure maps hidden around the place…
Oh, the Ferrets are now up over on the Dossier thread. As usual, they’re currently the last link in the index:
This is so like Oprah. She says lose weight, 10 million people drop 50 pounds in a day. She says read this book, they run out of copies. People are so submissive to the media.
Not to sound random, but what dots? A bunny? Cruddy talk show host?
Okay, I understand your pain, but they’re talking about a treasure map here… I think that even more idiot will listen to Oprah if she was talking about 20 million.
and i know i would start watching Oprah if it was about 20 million dollars and a treasure map .. actually i think that would be the only show on all channels on tv … forever lol
it did the same thing for me , I read over the strip, then noticed the little captions, and when I read it again, even though I should of seen it coming, I’m still laughing … that joke just never gets old when used properly .
So is simon like the TV person who represents the ferrets as a whole and the ferrets individually have like their own jobs? Or does he just like hogging the camera?
Also, and no one probably cares as we refer to the ferrets as a whole anyway but Duke has only been seen twice. Ever.
Hmm, somewhere not near Lake Michigan… Dots connect to make a bunny… I have it! I know exactly where it is! Let us be off, Watson, We have a fortune to find!
For those who are interested, the dossiers for the various human characters (excluding Mr Milton and his ungrateful relatives on whom fresh information is likely to appear soon) are now up on the Dossier thread. As usual, they’re currently the bottom link on the thread index.
Oh Simon.
The havoc ferrets cause. Of course anyone owning stock in airlines would be thrilled.
Of course the ferrets had bought some of the stock cause they were bored.
I actually know where it is! *laughs*
“Trapped in editing room, send help”
I see what you did there….
I don’t :-/

I know its completely unrealated to anything at hand, but it has been bugging.

So, you think he watched National Treasure and liked the idea?
This is so like Oprah. She says lose weight, 10 million people drop 50 pounds in a day. She says read this book, they run out of copies. People are so submissive to the media.

Now to be random…
Hi I’m Daisy.
hi Daisy!
and i know i would start watching Oprah if it was about 20 million dollars and a treasure map .. actually i think that would be the only show on all channels on tv … forever lol
being random : simon looks so cute ..
The being trapped in editing room stole the whole strip for me. That’s just hilarious.
Isn’t someone going to help the poor captioner? He/she’s dying of thirst! There’s nothing but Bawls to drink in there!
it did the same thing for me
, I read over the strip, then noticed the little captions, and when I read it again, even though I should of seen it coming, I’m still laughing
… that joke just never gets old when used properly
.
And now they have to hire security guards because of the lineup of people who will breaking into their home every night. :3
That’s why they brought in the wolves!

Maybe he just likes being on TV and none of the rest care? After all, if they wanted to sponsor “the ferret show”, they could afford to do it.
The show would still have to be popular to keep running
*airline site’s server explodes*
*ten thousand viewers facepalm*
*technical director needs a crowbar*
Obviously he likes media-attention too much…
Actually, it’s not too much, you can never have enough ferret.
Milton put his fortune in orbit around the moon :p
“Send help” LOL
Ferrets; Causing random Anarchy since 19XX.
We just gotta find a place that looks like a bunny!
Hmm, somewhere not near Lake Michigan… Dots connect to make a bunny… I have it! I know exactly where it is! Let us be off, Watson, We have a fortune to find!
SOMEONE SAVE THE PERSON STUCK IN THE EDITIM ROOOMMM
The only part i got about this was that some poor dude was trapped in the editing room.
Other than that, i am totally lost.
There’s a slight typo in the second panel- should be secrtes, not secret. Still a great comic though.
if you’ll look at the previous strip, it says:
“SECRET! do not display -H Milton (That means YOU, Simon)”
yeah, i think he meant “…he put ’secret’ all over it..”
*facepalm*
Not that I actually didn’t think Simon was going to do it, but… DAILY TALK SHOW?
Yeah, and it probably compete’s with channel DEF’s “Rise and Shine” talk show
My apologies to anyone living in Georgia. I didn’t know a “Rise and Shine” talk show actually existed
You could probably have gotten away with “Good Morning Everyone” as a competing show. *laughs*
Whichever of the ferrets I happen to be looking at, they’re suddenly my favorite X3
lol, “That’s one place we know it’s NOT.”
also: “trapped in editing room, send help!”
It’s in Al Capone’s vault!
That Most have been a really weird spike in the Airlines stock-chart.
…BUNNY!
:3
I don’t know where it is!!!!!!!!
someone tell me plz!!!!!!!!!!
It’s not there.
It is in your heart.
Eww, I hope that’s covered by my medical plan.
Love the text lines from the editin room at the bottom
Its great how insanely happy the ferrets are, good reason to be too I guess
Who would’ve guessed Simon was actually going to be able to keep the secret?
Either he’s too smart for us commune folks to understand, or he picks what he says out of sheer dumb luck XD
