You know what’s even better sneaking up behind someone, right next to their ear and breathing like a deatheater from harry potter, the last person I did that to thought she had died.
I go up to someone and talk in a demonic voice just saying something a saitinist or something would say,I am not one tho i just joke around with stuff like that.
It’s been chewed off, possibly since he was in the pound. Look back at “maxie” and notice, it’s almost always his right ear, but sometimes, it ends up being the left… once ever like 20 comics he is in. Yeah, I checked.
I LOVE Max’s face in the last panel. 50 bucks for anyone if it doesn’t become an avatar!
You know those “lolcat” photos where if the cat is chewing on something, *nom nom nom* is usually put under it? Well Max is a cat and he made the “nom” noise. Is it possible Max is an lolcat?
I have yet to figure out how it is possible for something to be scary while its going “omnomnom”. Even the deepest most evil voice i can imagine still makes me giggle.
Heh. Why is it the floor is always lava? Why couldn’t it be something less… lava-ie? Like… Mash potatoes? Hmm. Wait, potatoes have carbs. Right. Lava’s more healthy. Nevermind. Continue with your “Floor is lava” game.
Toxic acid swamp water floors were my childhood memories. It helped that my father’s dog was still being housebroken so my brother and I always added radioactive yellow cesspools and earth-colored mines.
Not only that, but mash taters are also too unpredictable! You put a tater in the microwave and one side is hot and one side is cold! One minute you could be walking through a cold spot and wonder into a BURNING hot spot.
I really do like Max, he’s a pretty cool cat… He and Grape seem to get along really well too… but I just can’t help that little bit of heartbreak seeing Peanut’s jealousy :<!
I REALLY like the look of Max’s ears. They’re bigger and the fold doesn’t go all the way up, it’s more like a real cat’s ear. He’s turning out to be a more memorable character with those dynamic expressions too.
No no, see Peanut said they already tried that, and they ended up LARPing.
Peanut’s point was any scores/numbers when playing pretend just doesn’t work for his and Grapes game.
And yes, if he didn’t die of an heartattack, he sure will hate Maxwell now. xD
Also “Only I get ot call him Maxie!” Ouch, poor Peanut.
Dawg gone, Rick. You sure did a great job with Max’s pose and expression!
This reminds me of a Fur-lo Halloween comic special when Crimson dressed as a demon…
Go check it out yourself! I ain’t giving you a link! Besides, Fur-lo is a very short series based on the original HALO, even if you don’t like the games check it out, it is a great furry comic.
Can we use a phoenix feather to revive them? Maybe a Pete feather? I think I already said this before…only Max can hear the bell because Santa gave it to him.
I know how Grape feels. My cat has a bell and I don’t EVER hear it when I need to! She always likes to sleep on my ceiling fan and when ever I turn it on I just see a furry, black blob fly over my head! She about scares the dickens out of me every time!
On the note of ‘everyone knows the floor is lava’ I only learned of the game this year. And I’m 19. /failed childhood. So I’m with Grape and Peanut for this one.
How about “the floor is water”? When I was a kid we played “the floor is water. If you stand there, you drown”
sometimes “the floor is quicksand”, “the floor is super-fast drying cement”, “the floor is a snake pit”… you get the idea
Nope. None of that stuff. At my school we had a complex bartering system created using sand, pine boughs, bark, and stones. (All found on the school’s property, of course.) So we all had our territories/forts and the only thing we ever ‘played’ was getting and trading those things.
Maybe The Floor is Lava is a boy’s game? I did go to an all girl’s school from age 6-17
oh wow lol!!
Adorableness.
You know what’s even better sneaking up behind someone, right next to their ear and breathing like a deatheater from harry potter, the last person I did that to thought she had died.
I go up to someone and talk in a demonic voice just saying something a saitinist or something would say,I am not one tho i just joke around with stuff like that.
Hahaha!! I love it!!
Is there something wrong with Maxwell’s right ear?
It’s always been like that.
It’s been chewed off, possibly since he was in the pound. Look back at “maxie” and notice, it’s almost always his right ear, but sometimes, it ends up being the left… once ever like 20 comics he is in. Yeah, I checked.
Ghahahaha.
I LOVE YOU MAXIE
:D:D:D
Roflmao! I love the last panel Max looks so Evil~<33333
Less evil, IMHO. More like a fuzzy imp.
Now that you mentioned it, the blanket fits like a cape/wings on him. xD
<3 Maxwell, you'll always be my #1 favourite cat.
and to top it off, he's the villain. why is this comic suddenly becoming everything i dreamed of? T_T
lol, story of my (childhood) life!
Max’s face in panel 4 = Priceless!
And now his ear is chewed off again! It wasn’t in the last comic!
No, it was chewed off. Look closely.
… I was wondering that too,
I think it depends on what angle you look at his ear..
Angle dude. Angles.
I LOVE Max’s face in the last panel. 50 bucks for anyone if it doesn’t become an avatar!
You know those “lolcat” photos where if the cat is chewing on something, *nom nom nom* is usually put under it? Well Max is a cat and he made the “nom” noise. Is it possible Max is an lolcat?
Maxwell iz Basement Kitteh!
Bewt if Maxwell iz basement kitteh wut does dat make Grape?
Perma-grape!
…wha? Havn’t u evur smeled a marker b4???
I have
Grape iz fryin’-pan kitteh!
Naw, shes teh kitteh tht brooms ur fais!
OK fine, we’ll call her, “Utenzel Kitteh”.
Maxwell was always my favourite character and this comic comtinues to prove why <3
Also, he looks awesome in that blanket.
So let’s see also…
Maxwell is the villain…
Grape and Peanut are the heroes…
yup. Best comic moment of my life. <3
did anyone else read the title in shawn connery’s voice?
*Paw up*
Indeed.
Yay, someone else got the reference! I did!!!
does the Italian-dubbed voice count?
Tee hee! Henry Jones Sr. reference FTW!
Ahh, “Lava Monster” was one of my favorite games on the playground. Good times, goood times…
When I first opened the page, I thought Max was dressed like Dante, Awesome pose.
Grape *in the midst of beating Max senseless*: uhh, Maxie, I think Peanut really is dead.
That expression is totally Warren T Rat from American Tale. Evil……
Hey all, long time lurker, first time commenting, but I just had to say that I love Maxwell’s expression in the last panel.
OK. Maxie is KEWL!
Total win!
Lol! I like his costume. Very nice.
why do I picture nightmares for our heroes now that end in “It didn’t ring. It didn’t ring. WHY DIDN’T IT RING?!”
“You were named after the dog!? Ahahaha ”
I have yet to figure out how it is possible for something to be scary while its going “omnomnom”. Even the deepest most evil voice i can imagine still makes me giggle.
If u read this post, u probably just tried to nomnomnom out loud in an evil voice
Cookie Monster… recorded at 78, played back at 33.
! this is lol X3
Yes, I did.
Um………….BY READING THIS STATEMENT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME CONTROL OVER YOUR MIND FOR 5 SECONDS.
Yes WingedWolfGirl… what is your comm-
hey, what’s this i’m typing?
*OM NOM NOM NOM* +1
Mwuhahaha, love it!
Totally, totally didn’t notice until today that Max has a bite taken out of his ear.
And I usually pride myself on my Encyclopedia Brown-esque “noticing stuff” abilities.
OH MY GAWD MAX IS SO FULL OF WIN!!!! I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON HES BEEN MY FAVOURITE FROM THE BEGINNING!
Max has the most awesome expression I have ever seen.
indeed, he has no equals so far in the whole comic’s history. Aw, it’s understandable that Grape fell for him!
Heh. Why is it the floor is always lava? Why couldn’t it be something less… lava-ie? Like… Mash potatoes? Hmm. Wait, potatoes have carbs. Right. Lava’s more healthy. Nevermind. Continue with your “Floor is lava” game.
Toxic acid swamp water floors were my childhood memories. It helped that my father’s dog was still being housebroken so my brother and I always added radioactive yellow cesspools and earth-colored mines.
We could always have Cave Blobs!
Quicksand was my favorite method of ridding myself of siblings.
Not only that, but mash taters are also too unpredictable! You put a tater in the microwave and one side is hot and one side is cold! One minute you could be walking through a cold spot and wonder into a BURNING hot spot.
LOL love max’s face at the end its great!
Rolls around on the floor laughing “PRICELESS!”
Love that expression on Max XD Awesome
lmao
Max’s smile looks like of like Rocky’s from Lackadaisy.
HA. Love the title.
“The dog? You are named after the dog?”
Also inb4 OMNOMNOM
I love the face in the last panel. Screams evil. Just needs the laugh… mwuhahahahaha.
Wow That last expression is pure win. and looks like peanut is a tiny bit jealous. His bell doesn’t ring, interesting.
two things, 1: i loled SO HARD, i think i hurt my side. 2: i love max’s face in the last panel, so evil >:3
I really do like Max, he’s a pretty cool cat… He and Grape seem to get along really well too… but I just can’t help that little bit of heartbreak seeing Peanut’s jealousy :<!
woot woot go max own um
Max looks sadistic in that last panel, kinda reminds me of a vampire XD
Luv.
That.
Face!
WIN! :3
Apparently, Peanut and Grape just lost the game.
Darn you!
Now I lost it too. -.-;;
Does that mean Daisy get the prize money?
I REALLY like the look of Max’s ears. They’re bigger and the fold doesn’t go all the way up, it’s more like a real cat’s ear. He’s turning out to be a more memorable character with those dynamic expressions too.
I’m beginning to suspect HOW did Max got that ear-chew…
and while this is humorous… Max still irritates me.
Silly Peanut! You don’t have stats in LARPs!
And to awnser Grape’s question: “It’s a fashion statement.”
Another answer: “I unlocked the silencer for it.”
So Peanut’s “RPG” suggestion gets ignored by Grape, and Max goes for the kill (if Peanut didn’t hate Max before, he sure does now!
No no, see Peanut said they already tried that, and they ended up LARPing.
Peanut’s point was any scores/numbers when playing pretend just doesn’t work for his and Grapes game.
And yes, if he didn’t die of an heartattack, he sure will hate Maxwell now. xD
Also “Only I get ot call him Maxie!” Ouch, poor Peanut.
I’m a stupid n00b who’s never played an RPG game other than Final Fantasy and Star Ocean…
what’s LARPing?
Dawg gone, Rick. You sure did a great job with Max’s pose and expression!
This reminds me of a Fur-lo Halloween comic special when Crimson dressed as a demon…
Go check it out yourself! I ain’t giving you a link! Besides, Fur-lo is a very short series based on the original HALO, even if you don’t like the games check it out, it is a great furry comic.
hmmm… you and Dan Shive doing Indy related titles on the same day… coincidence? Or something more… comic? :p
Hahaha, I love it! The look on Max’s face at the end is priceless.
I just love seeing Grape’s and Peanut’s Scared faces !!!!
Can we use a phoenix feather to revive them? Maybe a Pete feather? I think I already said this before…only Max can hear the bell because Santa gave it to him.
Yay for polar express!! I didn’t think pets were allowed without a collar though ;P
DON’T CALL ME JUNIOR! XD
This page is AWESOME!
I told them in the forums that he was evil, but did they listen? Noooooooooooo.
…Max’s.. expression. XD
Oh mannnnn!!!
My bro and I say ‘nomnomnom’ all the time and i CRACKED UP at Max
I -LOVE- Max’s expression. Very well done, and one I haven’t seen from you by any stretch so far.
haha xD love there expression
AH I remember that game used to play it so long ago. <3
heheh I just love Max's grin at the end of the comic. Great work with it!
HA! I just love his huge grin at the end. I remember that game when i was little so much fun <3
does anyone here have the “Indiana Jones” theme song stuck in there heads. Wait… is that a baseball cap on Grape’s paper bag?? lol “Dr. Jones!”
…I can’t seem to remember the little boy’s name… anyone?
Base… ball… cap? …eye …twitching…
It’s called a FEDORA.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora
Annnnnnnnnnd …The boy from Temple of Doom?
-Hez called Short Round.
Peanut’s bag has a fedora on it but Grape’s has a baseball cap on it in the third panel
Thanks for backing me up dude
this made me lmao
Wait, where is the lower part of Maxwell’s body in the last panel?
Yeah, I wonder
Good job!
hjaha ^^ Awww max is cute
Oh my, Max can play the role of the Cheshire cat! =O
Grape would be the Purple Queen.
Purple Queen: OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
Legume Hatter: But what did I do!? We just started playing!
I know how Grape feels. My cat has a bell and I don’t EVER hear it when I need to! She always likes to sleep on my ceiling fan and when ever I turn it on I just see a furry, black blob fly over my head! She about scares the dickens out of me every time!
For some reason, I thought of a mischievous version of Darth Vader when I saw panel 3.
Just the red cape and expression.
…eehee, lava. fuuuuuuunnnn.
Can’t wait to see how this ends. Kind of liking Max’ face in the last panel. Hopefully, if Grape hits him, it isn’t too hard.
On the note of ‘everyone knows the floor is lava’ I only learned of the game this year. And I’m 19. /failed childhood. So I’m with Grape and Peanut for this one.
How about “the floor is water”? When I was a kid we played “the floor is water. If you stand there, you drown”
sometimes “the floor is quicksand”, “the floor is super-fast drying cement”, “the floor is a snake pit”… you get the idea
I remember the floor is made of lava, but I also remember the floor is made of shark-infested-custard!! …Not sure what that says about my upbringing.
Nope. None of that stuff. At my school we had a complex bartering system created using sand, pine boughs, bark, and stones. (All found on the school’s property, of course.) So we all had our territories/forts and the only thing we ever ‘played’ was getting and trading those things.
Maybe The Floor is Lava is a boy’s game? I did go to an all girl’s school from age 6-17
The floor is lava?
Luckily I’m on my bee 8D
LOL i miss those expressions
I just noticed that Max seems to be missing part of his right ear…
Thoth proposes he may have gotten lost in the woods once http://www.housepetscomic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=199#p14178
when I saw omnomnom, i thought it was “ominous”
Look at how small their pupils are!
by the way…
Why doesn’t Maxwell’s bell ring?
Omg, I can totally see Panel 3 as a T-Shirt design, with the caption “The Lava Blob Comes for You” underneath!
There’s that face again… such a cool face for him to make…
Well, THERE’S an evil face.
