Gotta love Grape’s grin!! ^^
So devilsh, so cunning… I love it.
Of course She’s like “Im gonna get ya and I’m gonna do something very naughty to ya” kind of devilish grin!!!^^ Go Grape!! ^_^
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice, I was kindu thinking the same thing. I was also still thinking why Max’s bell doesn’t jingle.
LOL I know right!!^^ Max is the top cat, Ninja skills and full of surprises in every turn! The other fury critters can’t stand a chance!! Or he used super glue or something to place the little ball in its place!
I wonder what being lava would feel like. Probably disturbingly squishy.
Naww, it’d be HAWT!
ba-dum-tish
Mod Edit-CSI stuff is banned for a reason, don’t dance around filters.
OMG! Darcin got around the forbidden word!
Forbidden word?
The one that gets people bansticked. Don’t do it.
Now I know. And knowing is half the battle!
Hey Foxstar…
Hey guys does it smell like updog in here?
There is, however, an acceptable use of that word: to describe the K-9 squad (Fido et al.)
The Heat is on!
more hot dogs cooking in the pit of squishy lava! ^^
Poor peanut, his playing pretend session ruined by obsessive fans.
Pretend ruined by real!
What is real? Do we really know what real is?
/trippy
“Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How
would you know the difference, between the dream world…and the real world….?”
There is no spoon…
Real is the smallest set “R” containing all limits of convergent sequences of rational numbers.
I literally LOLed at this, and got some queer looks. Reading it over, I have to wonder whether you meant for it to be funny
Joining the “poor Peanut” group.
But I do like Grape’s grin, and I also like Peanut’s answer to her question.
Perhaps I should start a Facebook group titled “Poor Peanut”.
I wonder how many fans it would get.
wow… grape…
I know, and the “balance out your ears” quote was rather suggestive…
Hey, where did Tarot go?
Better question, if Max was the lava, then what was Grape?
Simultaneously living out the lives of 100 different characters.
Or feeling dead
I was asking exactly that: WHERE IS TAROT????
Grape is lookin’ scandalous!
You know, your picture fits perfectly for your comment xD
8-bit fox!
If I was peanut I would be very creeped out right now!! 0.o
Max is a pretty cool guy.
last frame is lolwut? o_O lol love it
Max is so charismatic ^.^
wtf frame 2 maxwells ear
look closely, the missing ear is exactly on its side..ever so slightly turned inward.
That last frame is just so win. Hyperreal sensurround ftw!
This reminds me of when Max first found out Grape was female. I’m enjoying her being more ‘feminine’ around Max, even when threatening to bite off a chunk of ear. =)
You have an awesome comic, Rick! One of my favourites.
Looking at Peanut’s pose in the first panel, I can’t make up my mind which possibly hurt more, him falling into the pretend lava, or onto the ground.
Poor Peanut, the pretend game is now getting much bigger than he ever imagined. Well at least he’s read one book of Pridelands, so he he has somewhat of an idea about what’s about to happen.
He’s read one book and several guides:
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/03/27/therin-lies-madness/
(and the one immediately following it)
He’s probably more than capable of managing his hold in the Pridelands universe.
Tarot, on the other hand…
Oh, right, I forgot about that. Thanks.
Hm…that might make things kinda interesting then. Curious how she’s probably gonna make it look.
Ahaha! That is awesome :3 I wanna play some RPG with Tarot now!
Lucid dreaming. You should try it sometime. Just sayin’
I wonder, do you have to go into some sort of zen state?
Because I don’t think I could sit still for that long.
Grape and Maxwell grinning together? i’m sold <3
Do it Grape, it’ll make him more aesthetically pleasing if he’s symmetrical *nodnod*
that was some wicked grin we have in here Lolz;D! come on with the HYPERREAL SENSURROUND thingy! LET IT BEGIN!!!
p.s. Its been a long time! but as always GOD Bless to everyone!!!
something tells me this won’t end well
Shhh. There’s so much WIN before the ending, it’ll be worth it.
I think thats Max’s exact thoughts about Grape’s treath:
“Totally worth it”
You know, sometimes I ask myself ‘Ees eet worth eet?’ and I answer myself ‘YEEEEEES! EET EES WORTH EET!’ VIVA L’AMOUR!!!!
why is Max’s ear not injoured in the second panal
It is injured. It’s that the view of it is different. You’re looking at it from the edge on.
4th panel: TOTAL WIN
Kitties’ grins are AWESOME
Max keeps being x-tra kewl
Poor, poor, Peanut. I SO feel for him
Memo for Peanut: stop playing pretend. Switch to videogames. Or start hanging out with Joey & his pack. Heck, even trying making friend with Bino couldn’t be worse than seeing your own heart broken piece by piece under your own very eyes >:(
i’m in love with panel 4!
whole strip is total win! panel 4 is super win!
Agreed!
itz like a photo pose!
HYPERREAL SENSMURROUND PRIDELANDS FTW!!!
now that is just pure awesomesauce
With great imagination comes great responsibility.
If everyone with great imaginations was responsible, Walter Disney woudn’t have been anything special.
3-D takes your imagination experiences up to a whole new level!!
Grape scares me in panel 4.
Also, it is likely Tarot has never heard of, much less read, the Pridelands series. This could turn out disastrously.
I wonder what part Peanut would play?
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/04/03/aka-the-non-canon-adventures-of-spot/
Just noticed the top 22 coments were posted in the hour immediately following midnight (this one being the 42nd comment). You people need to get some sleep. Or a life. Or move out of the U.S. so you can take advantage of the time zone differences.
I know where I live it’s March (Spring) Break! So anybody who normally goes to school can stay awake AS LONG AS THEY’D LIKE!
Like me, for example.
Lucky dog. My spring break isn’t until the 28th (we have to make it match Easter)
On panel 4 I was wondering whats up with Max’s arm. O.o
Then I noticed it’s his tail. Might wanna move it a bit, Rick? =/
Oh and love the grins! xD
Haha I just looked now and I was like “WTH happened to his arm?!?!”
And then I too noticed the tail.
o.o;
Hey, did Max’s ear regenerated at the second panel? o.o
Swifty commented on this at 1:26 am
It’s the typical “we’re looking at the cut head-on” deal, the ear is from an edge. Thus, the bitemark is skewed by Perspective.
Perspective, with a capital “p”, because Perspective is an evil queen.
And suddenly remember those DC comics where hyperreality projection was branded as a hallucinogenic malpractice.
…It”ll be like catnip for those two, isn’t it? XD
hallucin…uh…….what?
If you took drugs you’d understand.
That, or high school health. XD
They look like a couple in the last panel!!! That is not right; that needs to be Peanut!!!!
It needs to be Peanut who threatens to bite a chunk out of Max’s other ear?
AAAAHHHHH!!!! SHIPPERS! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!
Would that shipment work? or would it be a shipment of fail?
A “King” sized shipment?
That’s it, I’m getting a Failboat pass in Argent’s name, and next one that comes ’round, let’s all shove him on it.
‘K?
Hmm. I seem to have accidentally discovered something else you’re not allowed to say.
As the old German addage goes; lava me only, or leave lava alone (another rimshot please)

Thou art served
I wanna play Army with Tarot now … >:D
*looks happy!*
Whoo hoo! Max and Peanut wearing just loincloths!
*whisper whisper whisper what Max and Peanut are wearing now*
Oh. Uhmmm…
*looks happy!*
Max and Peanut just wearing loincloths!
*The whisperer gives up*
“was that a threat?”
I’m not sure why, but I’m foreseeing something… Freudian happening at some point.
A Freudian slip?
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/02/26/doghouse-rules/
I request that Grape balance out Max’s ears.
Seconded!
Here’s hoping that Tarot steps in and takes up for Peanut.
This was the icing on the cake. peanut is soooooooo gonna blow now
By the way, this is why the Holodeck would be the last thing humanity ever invented…
i dont get what it means when grape says “balance out your ears”….
One of Max’s ears has a bite mark in it. Basically, she’ll bite a piece out of the other one to “balance” his ears.
Somehow, the last panel is disagreeing completely with the text (which is obviously the point…)
It could easily have been the last panel before the standard “waking up nude in bed the next morning” scene xD
Let me quote Grape: “But we’re naked all the time!”
http://www.housepetscomic.com/tag/peanut/
WTF? I meant to put this link:
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/08/06/i-planned-this-joke-for-an-awful-long-time/
Don’t know how that other one got on my clipboard
Well, to link you another comic:
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/06/15/the-other-alternative/
As you can see “Naked” means without the collars.
Heck, I think it’d give the effect quite well enough, as it does make them look a lot less dressed, somehow.
Surpsingly, theres truth in tel.. Webcomics.
Try wearing something around your neck 24/7 for a month or two. And I mean literally, don’t take it off at all.
Large bulky pendants that get in the way are not on top of the recommended list. Small is good enough for this “experiment.”
Actually, I don’t even have to wear it around my neck, I know what you mean just from ALWAYS having worn a watch.
I’ve walked home without my shoes several times (mostly while wearing training shoes instead though, though a few times without even those) but I’ve NEVER forgotten my watch and I tend to wear it even when it’s broken.
I suspect they’d feel even more naked without their collars, it being the only piece of clothing they have and it being quite large (seriously, look at the size, especially the size of their tag which seems to cover at least half the chest xD)
“SENSURROUND SYSTEM….You can’t PRETEND WITHOUT IT!!!”
“Available on your nearest petshop!”
Ok, who else thinks that Pete should sense Tarot’s mental projecting, interlope, and take over, thus causing serious mayhem… or at least some regular mayhem. Raise your hands!
*raises hand*
I Request that we don’t do anything that forces me to balance out your ears, okay?
Grape’s dialogue equals total WIN!!! ;3
Wow, Rick, you surprise me once again with your plot twists. Once again your comic is full of win.
Oh, it’s okay for Grape to invite folks over but no one wants Peanut to invite folks over unless they can make super duper awesome reality warping awesomeness via mystical powers? That’s not very fair. Also, what does being lava feel like?
“Probably disturbingly squishy”
–Darcin
“Naw, it would be hawt!”
–Argent Stonecutter

badump-dish!

Oh, I do like where this is going!
final battle
tarot, peanut, and king
VS pete
Wot, no ferrets?
If the ferrets are left out, it means there will be a battle after that. Therefore, the battle we’re considering the “final battle” can’t be really final. Q.E.D.
Grape and Max hugging on each other and playing their own favorite pretend against Peanut’s lovelorn desires. I sigh. :’(
Poor Peanut /heartbreak
Max better watch out for Grape though, lol
Oh this is going to be awesome. xD
Hmm just noticed that in the second panel Max has two full ears o_O…. OMG THE PG THE PG LEVEL IS RISING.
ZOMFG HE DOES WTF
Actually he doesn’t, it’s just that you’re looking at it from straight on, rather than from an angle. If you look REAL close, you can see the torn edge against the background of the rest of the ear.
Oh. This looks promising,
inuendo!
FIRST…!!!
Nah I’m just playin’
I’ve always loved how dry grapes sarcasm is. A cat after my own heart. Oh and I really can appreciate the subtle detail with the ear.
Best part? She probably would, if she’s not having fun.
