Bino being Bino
This. lol. XD
Great, look what we started.
Y what did he start?
This.
“This”, short for “This is cool” or “this, I agree with”, is how ReCreate says he likes a post. Ever since I asked ( http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/04/28/also-stripe-i-mean-seriously/#comment-24242 ) people have been following “This” with a post that says “is”, leaving the next replier free to say that the comment is whatever he/she likes (eg: “This. Is. Sparta!” “This. is. not. that.”).
In short, if someone posts “is”, be afraid; be very afraid
this.is.sparta()
Argent, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that maybe you’re a programmer.
I’m a ferret.
lol Wut’s teh difference, nya? ;p
Ferrets .//Hackz teh Lawz-O-Nature =3
How else could they B so bendy, quick and agile, minya! X3
What’s the difference between a ferret and a programmer?
Ritalin?
U got me there, nya! ;p
This is my patented method of saying I agree.
Then ya forgot 2 place a Trade Mark symbol wif Agree… “^-^
(Ah knowz it’s a bad joke… DUN FIRE MEH! O.O )
reeellly? how much did that cost you?
or is it just copyrighted? like the signature I use anywhere that allows signatures…
That.
Oh and uh krakkaboom?
ITYM
http://instantrimshot.com
I guess that explains why Bino doesn’t have a good sense humor
Doez he ‘ave a Sense-O-Humour, nya? “^w^
For someone that’s against any dogs befriending cats, Bino seems somewhat friendly with Max.
They live together so its only natural they would be friends or at least not hate each other.
Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.
What’s up with the mini piano Bino? O.o
That’s what I’m wondering too.
For some reason the Peanuts Gang just poped into my mind seeing that,,,
Snoopy dancing on Shroeder’s piano!
Max may not know Sasha very well, but neither does Bino so its all good.
Well, Bino did kinda ask for it back at the Christmas party.
Lol on the book, and Bino sure seems to have some interesting stuff.
He did?
Bino with a Piano? That’s Bino for ya oh Bino!!
Yes, Bino, you probably do need to remember that excuse, because it’s probably true.
I didn’t know that if you are smashed on the back of the head with a greasy pan by a nonchalant cat you’d have to relearn how to walk!
*Writes down for future reference*
I added you on XBL, BTW.
Whoops! Wrong reference!
Frank’s comment below has the right one!
You know, this is like when you are a kid and your parents are cleaning out the attic/basement to see what to throw away and they uncover an object that they want to give it away to someone who will use it because you won’t use it/play with it anymore? Yet, you still want to keep it and you’re like, “I’m promise I’ll use it more often” and you don’t? Well I think that is what’s happening between Sasha and Bino.
I’m curious how a dog could have a collection of junk that big. I guess being owned by possessions is not human-exclusive.
If any dog could have that much junk, it’s Bino.
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/07/07/channeling-you-at-age-8/
Yeah, I have to agree.
Peanut owns a Wii for Pete’s sake.
Lol, Pete’s the griffin.
Think that’s a reference to RICK Griffin? O.o
rick already explained it’s totally unrelated
Darn. I’m kinda new and didn’t catch him say that.
The joke is that Sasha gave him all that stuff for Christmas last year.
*Much giggling ensues*
Bino must have one awesome stereo if Max wants it.
lol Sure ;p
He haz a gang, so he needs 2 have a huge Ghetto-blaster, minya! ÒwÓ
So he can show off to hiz homeyz, nya! ;p
That sounds like it’s supposed to be midly offensive, but it’s too cute to be
Ah dun try 2 B offensive, mao! O.O
Homeyz can also B fur whit hoomanz (or petz), minya! T.T
It’s interracial slang, nya! T_T Pweeze dun B firin’ meh…
Max’s expressivity = win
Bino trying to give a gift? Considering his past experiences with gift-giving, this is slightly worrying.
As far as we know, his last gift was the reason he had to re-learn to walk in February
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/12/28/so-as-not-to-leave-you-hanging/
Yeah that was bad, how can he never learn from his “accidents”?
I realy don know what to think, I know Sasha is so cute and naive, but THAT much… well we’ll see on friday right? … Nah that would be too soon. :p
Ouch I almost slipped of this one since I missed the date… something’s not right I always get up at 6-7 o’clock without my clock these few weeks. XP
Oh! Okay.
Ithought it was Because he fell off a balcony.
Subtlety is rarely a good thing.
Also, I like the mini-grand piano. *laughs*
The alt text made me laugh so hard.
First thought I had when I saw the piano is “did he steal that from Linus?”
Max is just my favorite ;3 His expressions is pure win
Oh. My. Goodness…MAJIN-WOLF DIDN’T POST FIIIIIIIIRST!!!
*runs around screaming*
IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!
Look out what ya say aboot who was here “early” posts about that may get deleted for good reasons.
O.O Sorry, good point. Also was kinda hoping I’d start up the song “It’s the End of the World as We Know it” and see what happens.
Oh well…
I feel fine.
I DON”T!!! WHERE IS MAJIN-WOLF!?!?!?!?!?!?
Maybe Majin-Awoooh is busy-wusy today, minya? ÓwÒ
Dun worry, Majin will come eventually, nya! ;3
Or Majin-Awoooh is deded! O.o
Then it IS teh End-O-Teh-World, mao! \\(ToT)//
*starts running in circles of panic*
NOES! Ahm to cyoot 2 deded! //(T.T)\\
And we can’t have you and your inunderstanderably adorable speach die!!!!
Then let’s hope tha Majin-Awoooh’s still alive, nya! ÓwÒ
(Izzit wealy adowibull? *looks with puppy eyes* )
Cool song, but my fave is the Collegehumor parody of it. XD
@ Aerix
Yes, for what I can understand of it, it is
And wouldn’t it be kitty eyes?
Cats can have puppy eyez 2 ;p
http://antzinpantz.com/kns/images/jul09/puppy-eyes.jpg
Did not think it would be so. I’d think by now Bino would have made some ruling against it with the GOD Club
Ah dun listen to Bino, nya! >:3
Bino’s a dawg who’s bark is worse then his bite! ;p
Bino sees what you did thar, Max.
In before “Piano dog”
itz the thought that counts.
Honestly, would Sasha even notice?
Wait, if Max and Bino live together, doesn’t that mean Bino’s stereo is also his?
*In answer to his own question:* Pff! Yeah, right! Bino would never share something as valuable as a stereo system!
Also, it’s important that the (for dogs) is there, Max. Otherwise Sasha might think it’s for somebody else!
Theoretically, it would be enough for it to say “for those of you who are not a cat”
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/06/05/the-mini-adventures-of-spot/
….I feel sorry for Max having to be in the same house as Bino…
I also feel sorry that Bino has a stereo….I feel sorry for Max again…
despite me not liking much Max (P+G P+G P+G P+G!!!), he really doesn’t deserve to live with Bino.
Hey, be glad that Grape still lubs Peanut, nya! ÒwÓ
Mah bestesh friend lubs meh 2, and we also dun have a relationship wif each other, nya! ~ÒwÓ~ Luv comes in different stages, there’s love: Teh impulse of lubbing some one and tyin’ to live wif him/her. And there is love: As in caring, trust and being fur each other all teh time.
If ya realy luv someone, their R no boundaries. Even when you already have a partner, it’s still luv! >:3
I feel the same way..
The comments are DEEEAD. ¬¬ I think that peeved message Rick posted yesterday got everyone spooked.
comments died for lack of Sasha.
I
need
SASHA!
That or just the fact that ppl got the commenting fever out of their system. XD
killjoy! tphhtptptt!
Well it’s over 100 again so perhaps I should have just kept my mouth shut… if it’s my fault I’m sorry my dear author I’m infectious. XD
Ah dun lost teh fever, minya! ~^w^~
(Dun tell mah mom, or else she’ll bring meh to teh vet… Ahm still not over teh thermometer-in-butt-trauma O.o )
Commenting iza fever? …oh my,
*checks pulse*
Dun tell yer mom O.o
Or else itz teh vet, mao! //(T.T)\\ *shudders in horror*
Yay! Vet → Lolipop!
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/02/04/incredible-displays-of-compassion/
Noes! U + Vet + http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/01/28/unorthodox-medicine/ = http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/01/30/hello-vet/ , mao!
Teh Horror/1 //(O.O)\\ *shudders again*
Comments peaked with the Peanut and Grape arc. Comments dropped, like majorly dropped, when that arc was over. I see three possible explanations:
1. People need a break from the comic
2. People need to get back to their real life
3. what people really want to see is Peanut & Grape; the rest is still extreemely good, but as it’s not Peanut & Grape, it can wait.
So, no, I don’t think Rick’s post had anything to do with it
Either that or this comic doesn’t bring up much to talk about.
I think King and Sasha should get together.
give Sasha a date with Fido, she’ll be happy
give Sasha a date with King, she’ll learn romance
(ancient chinese proverb)
Those two are MADE to be together
I dunno, Fox and Sasha looked pretty good to me xD
Are you kidding me King and Sasha are perfect for each other.
Nyeh, can’t get over the fact that King is two times her age, at least. Really, I think he’s at least in his twenties
He’s a dog ok if he was in his 20’s he’d be dead.
@Enty: Yeah just as I say all the time, but my big prob is that I can’t immagine him leaving his humanity behind even if he does fit in with the other pets already.
@seara117: Kay it matters how you look at it, King was a human around 20 and when Pete turned him, he must have recalculated his age too so now he’ aboot a 3 years old dog. BTW did you check the storyline from the end and that’s how you didn’ know or just forgot… Or ya was just lookin from another angle? :3
You know, if you take the likely ages and intellectual capacity of these pets straight, they’re mighty precocious. I’d say they’re probably more intelligent than their human owners… just crippled by a shorter lifespan.
Moral: trying to analyze Housepets too deeply is creepy.
… Well you may just have a point there. XD
Still… it bugs me. Tickles my OCD, if you will.
Gabo, knowing Pete it is quite possible that if King decided to abandon his humanity, he’ll also lose all of his memories as a human, leaving intact his personality. In other words, making King re-born as a dog in every aspect.
… Okay I never had that idea… sounds interesting. :3
I know right.
That’s a really small piano. Dog version perhaps?
Or a toy.
It looks like a Peanuts reference to me.
Almost definitely, I’d say.
Or a pillow
Or maybe you push a certain key and a hatch opens were he keeps his snacks.
That would be awesome!
Atta boy, Bino! Take a page out of my book!
speaking of pages, which page did you get that avatar from? It’s so-o-o-o-o (er, forget I was going to say what it is; I’m supposed to avoid squee-ing like a little girl)
Personally ’shopped!
(Actually, GIMP’d, photoshop woulda made it a lot easier… xD)
… :’(
I can’t see it. X’(
What’s yer avi aboot? :3
You know when Grape said, “I guess you’ve earned the right to be mushy with me,” and kissed Peanut on the cheek? well, his avatar showed Peanut kissing Grape on the cheek.
…but it looks like he had to take it down.
I think it’s just a malfunction, because I can definitely see it.
I didn’t see it at first, but it’s showing up now.
Well, what do you know? It’s back! It wasn’t working this morning, I assure you.
Everybody squee! (Wait, don’t squee. I don’t think Rick will like 20 comments composed of just 5 letters each)
I’m at home now and I can finaly see the pic.
So cute, great job enty.
I can’t believe this, this many comments about my avatar… xD
But it weely is SO cyoot! ~^w^~
Somehow… Ah can’t shaky-shake teh feewing tha Ahm turnin’ into a Greapnut Shipper though… ÓwÒ
I love gimp, and will take it any day over Photoshop… but hey, well done
I C wut U did thar.
U took the first 2 panels of them dancing,
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/06/08/no-excuses/
cropped them out, and moved them closer together.
sry if I spoil the magic, but I luv image manipulation. :3
Correct, you win an internets :3
I’m surprised nobody elses pointed that out first though xD;;
Wow! So simple, yet it works so well! Why didn’t I think of that?
Nice Av!
oooo, nice av here!
Those two SO belong together.
Poster children for “Spay and Neuter Your Pets – ESPECIALLY THE STUPID ONES”
So Sasha, Joey, and Daisy, right?
I thought this arc was about Sasha… Where’d she go?
Not so fast, a good story needs some fillers to prepare ppl, so Sasha shouldn’t get around till thestory gets to the point. That may be the next strip if Bino doesn’t do anything interesting agan or next months strip if the plot thickens. :3
Its called the present,not the Sasha. XP
I’m still flabbergasted at the fact that Bino would try to give anything to anyone as an actual gift, especially some of his own stuff.
Lol i just read all of this in about 3 hours xD I love it! i’ll be back from time to time!
Haha ya i read it 2 times in like 30 min. i love it too.
For some reason, I got an odd thought that Max was canadian. Just a thought… A weird thought.
Who knows maybe he is.
Who knows indeed..
Also, what happened to Max’s ear? I think it must have something with a “nailgun”. But I think I’m just talkin out my face. I think this was already talked about comics ago, but I didn’t start checking the comments untill a month ago.
I like how you draw max. He’s cool, yet cute.
