This is totally the response I have when I find a stranger in my kitchen. xD
Also, special cameo appearance by Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly Sandwich! x3
*laughs* We ferrets don’t need sleep… but feigning a yawn is a great tactic *takes notes*
You’ve never interacted with a sleeping ferret, I take it.
Ferrets take sleeping *seriously*. Youtube for “ferret dead sleep”
youtube: now a verb
And I guess he probably meant “during the night”, which would show he hasn’t interacted with a ferret at midnight either (ferrets are most active at twilight).
Crepuscular is such a lovely term.
Oh, I certainly have; they’re a lot of fun and quite nice and warm for chilly afternoons.
The character Tahoe is notorious for not sleeping and always being energetic though ^^
I just watched a video of a ferret sleeping and WOW! Those ferrets could compare to those fainting goats my uncle has… and those fainting goats are EPIC.
A woman…in the kitchen…making a sammich??? I found Heaven.
There’s no sexism in Heanven I don’t think… jk
Too bad shes making it for herself and not you, Joey. =P
And excuse my off topic referance, but I though NO ONE touches Joey’s food?
I think you mean “JOEY DOESN’T SHARE FOOD!”
Man friends was cool. Also how do you tell each ferret apart?
1. They got different fur colors.
2. They got different eye colors.
3. Rick has been kind enough to make the females more obviously so with extended eye lashes since… I dunno.
4. Last resort if you can’t tell them apart, their collars.
5.look at the tag =3
A ferret woman at that.
Ohhh..Busted
BWAHAHAHAHA I still have no idea which ferret is which.
Me neither XD
They aren’t all colored the same you know.
The girl is Lana, the gray one is Rock, the one with a light brown body, dark brown neck and white face is Duke, the one with dark brown arms and a light brown mask is Simon, the white one is Pit, and the one with a dark brown body and mask and light brown face is Keene. I hope that helps. :3
And yes, I memorized them.
Either that, or you can look at the tags, or go to the forum to topic 199, page 2, #p15270 (15th post)
I never caught any of their names in the fist place
Their names were originally mentioned in the first strip they were in, where the late Mr. Milton’s will named them as inheriters of his estate (though, at the time, the ferrets were not visually matched up to each).
Also, this is my first comment on this site.
Also also, I like how at least three people now have avatars with pics of King.
Sandwiches make her strong!
Peanut Butter and Jelly is perfect fuel for killing tiny cowards!
i know! remember when grape jelly hit that raccoon with a broom? or when peanut but-
oh. you meant the sandwich condiments.
yeah. i guess.
What’s that, Sandwich? KILL THEM ALL?!
GOOD IDEA!
I spy weeth my leetle eye! A THIEF!!!
Don’t run! It’s just peanut butter and grape jelly!
LOL busted kehehehe
Hey look! It’s Peanut and Grape!
Also. Lana is the most awesome ferret I’ve seen yet.
That’s evil. Eeeevil!
“We want more Peanut and Grape!”
“Okay, here’s 2 pounds of peanuts and a bunch of grapes. Anything else?”
Oh noes! Unrefrigerated jelly, gross!
Is it really unrefrigerated? There’s something that looks oddly like a bottle of milk in there…
Lol I knew something like that was going to happen.
Your Templar powers acting up?
xD JK
when I read “special guest appearance”, I thought I some how missed Peanut and Grape….
Well 1) I didn’t miss it, 2) but they really were a guest of the strip…. oh well
Hopefully Thomas brought a SHINY THING that can be used as a distraction!
AAAAHH! She ate Peanut & Grape!
So… does that make it… PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!?
You die now.
Hey, it’s better than getting Rick Roll’d.
You know what Rick (Griffin not Astley), if you made your best archive ever… and Rick Roll us at the climax… well… I wouldn’t exactly be very happy…
In that unexpected communication between the two, Thomas just crapped a brick in his pants!! lol
Busted!
Prehaps he would’ve had better luck if he was covered in flour if he’s gonna pretend to be a statue or something.
Where’s a Tanooki suit when you need one!!!
This comic gave me an intense craving for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich…
And I was SURE ferret-vision was based off of motion.
Awww XD thats cute in an weird way
wish I could make sandwiches with my eyes closed XD
Sleepwalking is no fun. Nor is sleep-eating, nor sleep sandwich-making
You’ll wake up on the other side of the house, all sticky and with a full stomach, with no idea of how you did it.
Is the ferret even smart enough to know that its a thief breaking in?
“Hey, you’re that guy Pit hired to install the pneumatic tubes! What happened to your beard? And what’s with the funny suit?”
”
“H–h— how do you know that?”
“We found out we actually can get our surveillance cams on our blackberries
Ferrets are thie…. natural collectors of stuff. I’m sure ferrets can recognize others who share the joy of pilfering, I mean stealing, I mean finding of other people’s stuff.
… never go up against a ferret when larceny is on the line!
Try “collection of neglected trifles”. :3
I guess Rick just got tired of people bugging him about Grape and Peanut lol
Cool! The ferrets have a step-ladder to reach the jelly! (Or, as Paul Potts said, “I think it’s called jam over here”)
Okay, the quote is actually “I think my legs have turned to jelly, I think it’s called jell-o over here” but “jam” applies better to this situation
Mr. Rick, I saw what you did there.
enlighten the rest of us
Is the black thing behind Lana in panel 5 a TV, an oven, or a dumbwaiter?
no, it’s most definitely something nobody else has (or needs) but cost, like, a bazillion dollars, and they bought it because they like spending bazillions of dollars on unnecessary items, like, i don’t know, giant rectangle shaped pneumatic tubes, roughly the size of a window, or a dumbwaiter that could fit into such a tube and carry several ferrets at once.
Or it could just be a window… XD
who has the window open in the middle of the night? besides burglars…
well, he didn’t come in that way, did he? i dont know, im confused. but i did think about it being a window.
it’s a chalkboard!
Let’s see if they can remember Rick from the will proceedings and put 2 and 2 together. :p
*Gasp* the judge who read the will has a name! And he’s named after the strip’s author!
Ferrets are more clever than you think, Mr. Spy.
Yes, Spy. He reminds me of him. :3
Humans think animals are stupid, hehe… dummy.
BLING!!
“GRAAAHHH!!”
“Snake…? Snake? SNAKE!!!!”
We know that some of these ferrets are very smart. The plan to make the Wolves citizens is proof of that. They just get destracted easy.
That’s it, next time I see somebody trying to hide, I’ll do that to them! MUAHHAHA-ack!
Grape! Peanut! Nooooooo!!!!!!
Lana: “That was a fun game Mr Stranger-Burglar-man!
Now would you like a BROOM TO YOUR FACE?”
never underestimate the power of cleaning supplies! (do brooms qualify as cleaning supplies?)
Yes! (a broom qualifies as a cleaning supply)
annnnnd here’s the reference:
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/08/13/stick-em-up/
I was just thinkin’ that Lana should use the same tactic.
*get’s up off of the ground* -ahaha… Ahh
It’s official, Lana is my favorite member of the Milton family.
Off the ground? Why were you playing I Spy on the ground?
Oh wait, you don’t mean you were rolling on the ground? Perhaps peforming “an audible expression of …joy or happiness”?
I may have been playing ROFL. it’s fun as long as no one steps on you.
I find LOL and ROFL acceptable to act out–but not LMAO.
Great……as if he didn’t have troubles to begin with…now the ferrets know of his existence. I see much chaos in the future, much, much fun and unnecessary chaos.
Chaos is never unnecessary for a ferret.
Chaos comes with ferrets. It’s a package deal.
Nice i like how Tom transitions from one of the several “just dont say it” phrases to BUSTED. Thats awesome.
Hopeful he has a tube sock use on the ferret.
This is the second time the alt text as made me double over (and slap my forehead)
At first I was like, wait Peanut and Grape are here???, then i saw the alt text
…
i love you alt text
only the second?
What on earth would ferrets keep in a pool room?
A pool, of course! Why else would they call it a “pool room?”
Makes as much sense as a literal “Ball-room”
I think they mean a room where you would play billiards…
You reminded me of a Grook. Thank you…
ATOMYRIADES
Nature, it seems, is the popular name
for milliards and milliards and milliards
of particles playing their infinite game
of billiards and billiards and billiards…
– Piet Hein
In any case: I know what a pool room is, the question is what would a ferret make of it.
I love how these ferrets treat everything like a game! :3 Although I do too:
Me: OMG a robber!
Robber: PLEASE! DON’T CALL THE COPS!! D:
Me: I will call them unless you… *Smiles mischievously* PLAY SOME TWISTER WITH ME!!!! =D
The Ferrets will rule the world someday with the power of Peanut butter and Jelly!! Thats purely genius and evil 0.0
Well, I didn’t suspect that to happen
Lana looks so cute yawning! I don’t know why, she just does.
totally agree!
Pretty much anything small and fuzzy, that doesn’t have a mouth big enough to fit your fist in, looks cute yawning. xD
You got to love those little buggers
who doesn’t?
I’m guessing the “sponsored by Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly Sandwich” part was a response to something (like how much we’ve been missing the main cast)?
Heck with Peanut Butter and Jelly, we need more Jo…King.
Is it just me, or do the Milton ferrets remind anyone else of Smurf village, with only one female among them?
thats true, only ferrets dont have the ability to “smurf” things 20 times their size, but their cool none-the-less
love how you worked in the two main characters
Just realized this needs the ‘double strip’ tag.
I knew peanut butter and grape jelly from some comic I like, and it was shock when I remembered that was watch this comic was about… you know peanut’s shame in having feelings for grape.
The stupid criminal has been seen. Hooray! Victory!
now we need someone to catch him.
Now we need someone smart enough to catch him.
