That just made my day lol!
You would be surprised how many times this has happened to me. *sighs*
Aww, Peanut is jealous. I do feel sorry for him.
peanut has super hearing…max didn’t even knock
Excuuuuuuuse me!
He could’ve just heard Max’s bell, anyways.
If it’s not in a white speech bubble or brightly colored, it’s INVISIBLE! 0.0
o.0 now I can see the knocks!! Whhooaaa
:D:D
You’re excused. Nothing like a timely ret-con
animals DO tend to have good hearing / sense of smell…
This comic brings me great joy.
Yes it does doesn’t it!! ^^
Someone is Jealous
:D:D
…wait, “Maxie?” haha now isn’t that cute lol
I know eh? I got so a great smile when I read that
i grinned so hard my facce broke
…
so HA!
I always find it weird that these things happen on Television where the brother/sister gets their date involved in a family activity.
But there’s nothing i find more awesome when it’s done on a comic, and Housepets!
In the last panel, was Peanut using that age old maxim to actually say he was going to kill Max(ie)? Looks like our harmless pup isn’t so harmless…
BTW, if you compare this comic to a comic from a few months ago, you’ll see they’re drawn a little bit differently. It’s barely noticeable, but I can see a difference.
LOL AT RICK!
After I posted my comment I went back to look at the comic and saw “Knock Knock Knock” drawn in apparently in a rush. I thought I was going crazy because I didn’t see it there before!
I’d say Spot (superdog) is his passive-agressive outlet. Don’t you agree?
As for the evolution of peanut and grape, I’d like to quote myself
Wow! I didn’t know the blockquote looked like that!
Yeah, but I would image Rick would’ve been drawing LONG before he started Housepets. Eventually, your drawing will stop evolving. I would’ve expected it to stop long ago.
Um, no it doesn’t. I want my drawing to get better, but also I need to get the comic out in a reasonable amount of time. It’s not going to stop unless I’m satisfied with the process. And that takes a long time.
I guess I shouldn’t even be talking about how long it takes for drawing to evolve because I don’t draw so I can’t see it first hand. I’ll take your word for it.
Okay, easy example. Look at your signature. Find some old papers (10, 20 years ago) and see what your signature looks like there. Trust me, there will be differences. Your signature evolves.
(This is the alphabet explanation)
I know that. I was just saying that there’s a point when your drawing is going to get as smooth and clean as it can get.
Hey, I’m afraid a debate will break out or something. We should really stop, it wouldn’t be polite to Rick.
“Imaginate, Too!”
haha, I get it
Huzzah, new arc!
[movie trailer announcer voice]ARE YOU READY!?[/voice] lol
Maxwell: *As the voice of Illidan Stormrage* … *Looks at Peanut* …YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!
lolWoW
“Curiosity Killed the Cat”, actually, sounds like a ridiculously fun game. =D
…except for the cat!
Don’t worry, it’s just pretend. =D
Meaning Peanut can put on a (paper bag) hat and be the cat. xD
Looks like you’ve watched Early to Bet
The alt text was very funny.
wish people didnt think playing pretend was childish T^T those were the days T^T
Thou art cruel, Grape!
It was peanut, in the study, with the Farmer’s Almanac!
Poor peanut
ROFL!
wait, how do you kill a cat with the Farmer’s Almanac? “Look! there’s a full moon tonight”?
I’m almost afraid to head to the forums now.
(PxG MxG wars are scary.)
I know what you mean. a few days ago I saw a guy post “Fox+Grape 4ever”… I did not know that people could bend like that.
Fox and Grape?
…
I DO NOT SEE IT!
Fox and Grape?
… What the crap? They barely know each other!
Hmm..
CrossShipping.
I’d tap that.
NO! FlareKitsune! Don’-
*Crunch*
*Mangle*
*Splorch*
Eeww, Medic!
Hmmm, I can see this going one of two ways. Either Max and Peanut have fun and become more like friend and the jelousy starts to go away or imaginary violance becomes well a little more real if only a little.
you know how it is with Rick: he’ll surprise the hell outta ya
I think it will go like when Calvin and Hobbes invited Susie over to a water-balloon fight.
I have to say i read your comic and Peanut is a riot. XD. I love your art style, great job with the comic ^_^
AWWWW MAXIEE!!!! <3<3<3!!!
Two’s a company three’s just annoying
I always knew Max was a home wrecker!
D&D is just playing pretend with rules.
I fail my will save!
If D&D is playing pretend, then HALO is just a *much* more violent version of “Curiosity Killed the Cat”
aaww Peanut D:
poor peanut wanted to have fun like the old days
Max annoys me… and Grape, for all her intelligence is surprisingly stupid. Or it could just be that I really hate the fact that she’s still seeing Max. Oh well…
You can’t just count her IQ though, you also have to count her “emotional intelligence”, which is defined in a book I haven’t read.
No seriously, most people who can solve a Rubix cube just looking at it have NO clue when someone is interested in them.
I hate it when people show off like that. It’s like they can see the Matrix or the Lifestream* or something.
*Reference?…
Final Fantasy, yesno?
God… nerdom coming out here… FF VII.
Smart. By saying yesno, you can never be wrong!
…unless it’s a trick question! Doh!
Too cute!
…Oh come now Grape, REALLY? (from a firm PeantuxGrape shipper xD)
it only JUST occured to me that max’s bell is half the size of his FRICKIN’ HEAD!
According to Bino, that’s only to make it more stupid-looking (December 5th, 2008)
Oh no… a jealous Peanut…
Getting back to our roots, are we? Does this mean the wii-mote is out of batteries again?
Also, first time I’ve seen a reference to cats’ nine lives in the comic
Getting back to our roots, are we? Does this mean the wii-mote is out of batteries again?
Also, I don’t recall having seen before a reference to cats’ nine lives… in the comic
In reference to the “9 Lives” myth…
It really isn’t real at all! Cats don’t have nine lives! They also don’t always land on their feet! Scientific research came up with these results and came to the conclusion that certain requirements must be met before the cats can unlock this “hidden ability”.
In order to always land on their paws, cats must
1) Be fairly young and energetic; my 16-year-old cat stopped landing on his feet after about 5 years of my sister… (then he died
)
2) Be equipped with transpara-steel magnetic gauntlets (For Pets Edition™) that sense which way is “down” by tracking the Earth’s magnetic core.
You sure complicate yourself. To disprove the “cats always land on their feet” it is enough to grab a cat which you’ve seen land on its feet, and drop it, belly-up, from a height of about a foot. The cat will not have enough time to turn around, and thus won’t land on its feet.
Therefore, by existing at least an instance where a cat doesn’t land on its feet, it disproves that cats land on their feet always. Q.E.D
Curse your superior ability to explain things without having to make obscure references to materials that do not exist! (Yet)
Alas! I’ve been cursed!
Seriously now: the bad part is that your “transpara-steel magnetic gauntlets” actually exist: they’re called the ear labyrinth, and as far as I know all vertebrates have them. Unfortunately, they can become damaged, which would count as de-equipping the gauntlets.
Ah, a three-for-one special? …and the shipper wars shall commence.
Luv Peanuts face in the last panel! :3
ya an arc!!!
This strip was coot! luv peanut’s face in da last panel!
And i understand Peanut’s pain!!
When i was younger, going to the carwash with my dad was our thing! it was always just us two! Then my little cuzin came with us once and i was so mad!
.
Are Max and Grape going steady now? What about Peanut?
He has a psychic Pomeranian to go steady with named Tarot.
Well /I/ still think Grape and Max are a cute couple ^_^
Poor Peanut though.
YAY! New ARC!!!
The tension rises…
Peanut has reached a state of Super High Tension!
(Dragon Quest VIII joke there…)
I am thinking this will turn into a double playdate when our favorite Pomeranian girl foresees Peanut feeling left out and comes to join in on the fun.
but would this really count as another hour of dire need? I mean, if she could sense these smaller “needs”, wouldn’t she have appeared before now?
Scratch that, Grape has always been there to support Peanut against the world (even when she said “I’d be more sympathetic, but you interrupted my nap” she was supporting him); this is probably the first time Peanut needs someone to support him against Grape! Go Tarot!
*Insert deux ex machina here.*
I still wanna see more King around. :/
You and me both.
King would make a great GM.
Ah, but would Joey allow it?
King would make a great anything seeing as how he made a great dog
Whoops!
The weirdness of this sibling rivalry … is just silly.
LOL
Aww
Haha, that is funny, well do…hold the phone…didn’t max used to have part of his right ear chewed off?
Yeah, yeah, It used to be chewed off only 2 comics ago!
It would definitely seem Peanut has competition.
