LAVA WAVE!! I love that game it looks fun lol
That is so awesome!
peanuts scared face is funny
Wow… unfortunately this reminds me of what I would do as a little kid; kill someone off and then say “New person!” and continue the sword fight or hand-combat or what ever
Love the names thou!
Really? Whenever we killed someone off, we would make them stand on the sidelines untill there was a change in scenery and a new person was justifiably required. Since nobody wanted to become a shopkeeper, a bus driver, etc, they would invent all sorts of things to avoid being the one killed off before anyone else.
Using this game as an example:
“Aaah! Lava wave!”
“But wait, I have a lava-proof shield in my pocket!”
“Uh… lava can melt rocks, what in the world would a lava-proof shield be made of?”
“Ok then, ‘but I saw it comming and dodged it!’”
“you do realize that you’ve just let the lava melt a part of the boat?”
“Okay… uh… to the lifeboats! Forget the sofa, go to the armchair!”
“Why can’t you just let it kill you off?”
“I SAID, TO THE ARMCHAIR!”
“The armchair melted, too!”
“Okay then…
Time for my handy-dandy notebook! Quick kids, draw a solution to our problem to HELP SAVE US!!!“
Helicopter bees!
“What do you mean the armchair melted?”
“Remember about an hour ago when Max sat down?”
“No, but I do seem to remember a really foul-smelling fog descending upon us. Wait… wait a minute… ugh!”
*gag*
“You see why i also brought the gas mask now this is practical.”
“Gimme the mask!”
“Heck no! You can breathe in you gas.”
“Whezz….”
I love how the fur looks so fluffy in this strip.
No more parachutes Mr Bones!!!!
a lifeboat? we’re not sinking… we’re CRAAASHIIIIIING!
Hey, what do you know! those giant splashes of lava finally claimed a innocent life!
but how can we know Shor Bread was innocent?
Plot twist!
new avvie=Emphasis on twist.
COVER YOUR HEART!
KALI MA
KALI MAAAAAAAAAAA
The paper hats are extremely cheap, and funny.
Any game of pretend with Indiana J-… er, Bones and LAVA is a good time.
this
is
so
COOL
This one is just too cute for words.
This is needs one more character to be perfedt though. Needs more Tarot. Well it seems like a ‘Love Square’.
I don’t think Tarot being here would make the most sense to be honest.
As fun as it is, i think Tarot may have her own way of showing Peanut her affection, or Peanut showing his.
Hopefully we see that in the f uture =)
With Tarot, it’s likely to be “oh, you didn’t want REAL lava… oops”.
The armchair! Nooo!!!!!!!!
oops typo perfect lol
hehe! love the strip, the Indy refrences are total LOL!
and…why am I reminded of the origional star trek redshirts tho?
…and the best part is that Maxwell and Grape get a little time (just a little!) under the blanket together.
you *have* to turn the knife in our wounds, do you?
At least if she goes under the blanket she “dies”! If she took to long to come back, Peanut would wonder what happened to her. And then he’d kill Max!
(Not that I want him dead, of course! I like Max, just not when he’s coming between Peanut and his love!)
It’s a game. Guys don’t read so much into it.
We will read as much into as we want!
And I’m reading it as Max pouncing Grape playfully.
traitor! to go against your own kind like that! you will NOT read into it, you will NOT read it as max being playful, and you WILL treat females as an inferior race who are only good to put tasties in my food putting plase hjvgft7vb u6gf !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, that’s what I read into it too. Just a cute nuzzle and maybe a little rubbing noses.
it truly pains me that i must do this, but I must have an answer. tell us what you could not unsee!
@NobodyYouKnow: Last time you asked that the powers that be erased our posts. I think that’s a hint my friend.
I was trying for a bit to figure out what popped in the last panel…
Then I realized that “pop” is the sound you hear when someone mistically appears where before there was nothing. It’s just like how scientific progress goes “boink”…
I’ll have to remember that for when I am on the run from Ninjas.
you mean “zonk”
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/10/10/scientific-progress-goes-zonk/
I suppose, but Calvin and Hobbes have been around much longer than Grape and Peanut so I trust their science more {:~P
Remember, 50% more Science does not always mean it is better for you!
OK, i think we have three different references, and one is to calvin and hobbes, so I think a link would be nice
for FuRrY321:
http://www.housepetscomic.com/20010/02/19/show-and-tell/
for Watcher:
I am unfamiliar with what you are referring to
Boink: http://progressiveboink.com/jon/images/calvinhobbes/jon3.GIF
You know, the rest of the strips on this page are truly awesome, and it would be churlish of me to deny you all the link:
http://progressiveboink.com/archive/calvinhobbes.htm
this whole time i had no idea that the previous strip was a calvin and hobbes reference. you’ve done a good thing today, argent stonecutter
Wow, their game must have a lot of players. Not that I’m complaining, I’d love a game that would be like that, you lose, you just change characters and you press on where you left off.
Paranoia? The computer is your friend, and your replacement is getting anxious, so go ahead and open the door already.
I can only hope that this is going to lead to them causing damage to the house.
That’s not a very good thing to hope for
however, considering the last time they “dumped water all over the kitchen floor”, it seems entirely likely.
lmao
“Ensign Expendable” at its best. Classical movie star. XD
BTW, I can see a heartful pounce disguised inder this red blanket ;3
BLARG
Maxwell’s role seems to be the most fun.
Now will Mr. Bones use his special whip to swing from the ceiling fan? Find out next time in Next Week’s Episode… MR BONES & THE FAN OF FATALITY!
[must not insert YouTube cat-on-ceiling-fan link]
Do it. Dooooo eeeeet!
*joins in the forcing of Agent Stonecutter’s hand*
Doooo eeeet! geeev us your soouuulllll
vVv v vvv V vVvvv vvvV vvVv vvv VV v
(v=creepiness dripping off words. picture any “goosebumps” book cover)
It’s just a commercial.

lqtm, but close to lol, and deserving of a “XD”
But… Mr. Bones is a dog D:
Awwwww
That…that poor kitty! But …soo funney! XD
haha XD
kool
Glad their getting along
Does this strip count as Max glomping Grape, even though it is a game of pretend and under a blanket?
I just noticed “Short Bread’s” broken English. Goooo me!
Anybody besides me notice the striking similarity between the wrinkles on the side of the bags and the symbold for Yuan/ Yen? (RMB, ¥)
If you have a paper bag that’s been used more than twice, it’ll have a similar pattern in its wrinkles, too. That’s just how paper bags are folded, dude.
Hooray for convenient character replacements!
lqtm
*Sniff*
I liked that character,
Oh well…
Hooray for convenient stand-ins!!!
I told you it was the kid
not like it matters now. They say there’s always a 65% chance that a treasure hunter sidekick will die of a lava wave incident…
ha funny
Nice one. I think that this was sad that short bread died.
*Lights dim*
A sonnet by William Shakespear, read in honor of Short Bread:
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
That’s for you Short Bread =’(… OK! moving ooon!
no for some bad poetry
*lights re-dim*
easily replaceable and small
he will not be missed by all
now for some bad poetry
*lights re-dim*
easily replaceable and small
he will not be missed by all
(now with 100% more “w”!)
watch out! I changed my avatar!
that is all
what’s it from , anyway? (Forgive my ignorance!)
the same comic, jack. the same character, in fact.
its occurred to me that I’ve never put a link for jack, but i don’t have time. next week!
Oh gawd. Grape in that last panel. I’m almost willing to part with my current avi for it. XD
Almost.
Do it. Dooooo eeeeet!
furthermore, What could you not unsee!
Seriously, I don’t like harassing you. it’s the principle of the matter
We always had a game with lava, yes. Grandma’s couch cushions were somehow lavaproof, and therefore tossed about the room… you just had to escape the dreaded Lava shark.
We could never remember which couch had which pillows, so it was always mixed up. XD
Obsidian Sanctum.
“Everybody, into the portal except the tank!
“But sir, why can’t we bring the tank?”
“Somebody’s got to protect our flank from the evil legions of Basement Cat while we chase after him!”
No reference, just made that up (‘kay, ref. to LOLCATZ, u caut meh!)
LOL! Great faux names there.
Blarg!
This strip just reminds me of redshirts in star trek and super mario bros on the snes
love it
lol, grape gots a beanie in the last one
well, a drawn beanie
but its a beanie all the same.
