I love the little wolves… and the forth panel expressions completely make the strip! Tis an incredibly simple yet stark commentary on comics as a genre… plus the little wolf is adorable!!!
Also, in the forums, Rick said he’d be doing one-offs for a while. (He usually does about a week’s worth between arcs, but this may be a longer break from drawn-out stories.)

I wrote it the same way you did. I just don’t know how to get the symbols on my computer, which is why I wrote “{square root of}”. I also used the “{ }” instead of “( )” because I thought the equation would seem a bit more simple.
BTW, why would I excuse your Aunt Sally? Did she fart? Lol, jk jk.
x=(-b±√(b²-4ac))/2a
Since I thought that the equation represented above was a little inaccurate due to the lack of brackets meaning it’s impossible to tell what to square-root and what to divide.
It’s quite simple, actually. It’s
((L1/L2)*(deci-60))= Sptns
With L1 being logic of reply (logical= 1, illogical= 2), L2 being logic of original statement (same thing), and deci being Decibels of reply when said. 314 is the max amount of spartans because 187 appears to be the highest possible decibel rating for the human ear
Yay! Simultaneous post! Shaenon Garity is also running a Stick-it-to-the-man story, by the way. I had the association on the tip of my tongue, but couldn’t get it out untill you explicitly called it by its name
Or, to restate, “Artists who pander, thrive. And there is no greater pandering than to claim that anyone more powerful or richer than you is, by necessity, evil.”
Here goes my feeble attempt: he says he’s going to “eat heumans” (the establishment). Therefore, he’s rebelling, which he apparently considers strong and/or too novel. Peanut says that, compared to other “rebellions against the establishment”, his is rather tame.
I know that rwolf. I was just pointing out that it’s a vague term open to way too much interpretation.
It’s like saying that someone’s naive. Naive of what?
Anyway, I get it. He means anything unrelated to the comic.
You kidding me? This is a shortened version of a user name I’ve been using since people started stealing Manic back in ‘04! Since this isn’t Google or Yahoo, I can get away with the more generic and thusly, more anon user name.
Manix isn’t even a real word!
He was probably anticipating some unwanted political discussion. It has a tendency to show up on the internet whenever anything remotely related to politics gets mentioned.
Uhm, that’s not a political topic, nya! “^w^
That’s a religious/scientific statement/theory, and Ah would not touch a topic that’s either Religious or scientific kuz; every one’s look on life is different and Ah respect them all, nya! =3
Because Ah believe makin’ a statement like tha is like telling someone that their perspective is irrelevant, and yers is teh only truth, mao! /._.\
Every person is equal, though their believes, culture and experiences R different, nya! =3 Truth is like beauty: It’s in teh Eye of teh beholder, nya! ÓwÒ
I liked this one; good job!
Also, im scared about the small subtitle under the title (I don’t know what it means or if it’s referring to me! O.O I’ll look it up).
I’m never good at reading bad grammar, but it’s so nice to see the wolf kids again. (Well just one yet, but who knows. X3)
As a great joke in a comic once said: “Best romance story ever. Now to add some political commentary aaaaand done.”(If anyone knows where this is from ya’ll get a cookie. X3)
Not much sense yet, but who knows perhaps later it’ll make some… maybe.
How about tea parties in general? The Mad Hatter’s tea party, little girls playing house, etc? Can this be the place for such things? I mean, he never said which tea party
Wow. How much complex and political can a cub be?
I mean this comic starts off so simplistic.
And then BOOM!!! Rebelling against the Establishment? Bourgeois Oppressors?
Man you been hanging out with Linus from “Peanuts” too long kid.
I think that Peanut means the cub needs to do something even more radical. After all, his commentary is simply about the nasty humans that come to their house, but there are more nasty humans than that and (really) the ‘nastiest’ human that’s visited so far is Bill, which isn’t saying much.
As for the alt text – well, this isn’t a political debate site, but I will say this much: regardless of what party you may or may not affiliate with, there are always going to be extremists. If you allow these extremists to take over the party, or become ideals, then your party is going to become ‘the source of all evil’.
And here is what I (and Granny Weatherwax) define as the ultimate evil: Thinking of another person as a thing.
That’s the danger that all soldiers have to deal with. They absolutely cannot let themselves fall into the trap of thinking of the enemy as just that: the enemy. Inhuman. Evil.
Which in some cases, that may be true (but I’m not in Afghanistan or Iraq, so how would I know?).
What’s ironic is that I agree with you about society becoming desensitized (to more than just that), and yet I play violent video games (though not the ‘realistic’ ones like Call of Duty). I think it’s not just that we’re desensitized, but that it’s ingrained in our culture, sadly.
Still, the cub’s drawings are not all that disturbing, as while he is a kid, he’s also a wolf.
Probably not seeing as how Faust is the only Housepets character to be killed off (Grape stepped on and eat him after he tried to cause a Communist upraising in the Sandwich house)
BTW, it kinda surprised me that Rick said that Republicans are the source of all evil. Him living in Alabama I thought he would be a Republican… or is he just being sarcastic… ?
I agree… The joke is that all “rebellious” writers drone on about how Republicans are so bad, because that is what is hip in the “rebellious community”.
Possibly neither. I assume he’s parodying the fact that Republicans, conservatives or just non-liberals in general are often stock targets of “artistic” criticism. One could be anywhere on the political map and still point out that trend.
When I first opened this page, I could only see the first two panels and I thought “aww, he wants to grow up to be like Miles.” When I saw the rest of the strip, I almost fell out of my chair, the I thought “aww, he wants to be a lawer.” Though Deathaxe is a pretty good name for a prosecutor >:3
Objection your honor! The Defense is badgering the witness!
Judge: Agreed. Lawyer for the defense, please hand your witness over to Lawyer Deathaxe
Witness: D–D–Deathaxe? N-N-N-No! I like being badgered! I’m, uh, a masochist!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENOUGH ANIMAL PUNS!!!!!!!!!!!
Though I must admit, they are getting more creative
I imagine that Animal Control would keep a close watch. The wolves’ papers and living arrangements may have to be checked from time to time to make sure they’re not in violation of the law.
Really, the humans seemed pretty accepting. Mr. and Mrs. Sandwich treated Miles as a guest when he came to invite them to the barbecue. A lot of neighbors seem to have gone to that party, too.
If they were Bowman’s wolves – which, if this were any other universe but Houspets, they would be – I’d accept them in a flash.
So long as they don’t come knocking on my door, asking me for food
It needs an ironic battle between Deathaxe and Space Laser, until they find they’re really all on the same side and they team up with the humans to oust the narrator!
I think I see more Calvin and Hobbes parallelism (never a bad thing of course) Was it deliberate?
*runs to bookshelf*
Calvin- “That’s my science fiction story (a poem which also ends with people dying). Think it’s too far-fetched?”
Hobbes- “Not enough, really.”
Also while that comment seems likely coming from Hobbes it’s surprising to hear it from Peanut!
Teh Interwebs is a free place, where ya have teh right to place yer views and statements on, minya! >:3
And no one should change tha, nya! ÒwÓ
*looks outside the window of and looks if he can see the FBI van*
another interesting characteristic of the current strip is how ferocious the cub sees himself and his dad. I’ll bet Peanut early works didn’t include snarling muzzles.
…and the comments broke again. My 5:55 post was supposed to be a reply to Enty’s 5:51 post, and my 9:58 PM post was supposed to be a reply to Honoré’s 4:34 post
yay we’re back to these guys!
I love the little wolves… and the forth panel expressions completely make the strip! Tis an incredibly simple yet stark commentary on comics as a genre… plus the little wolf is adorable!!!
Yes!!! Peanut’s back! Let’s hope no one-off
Oh. That just came up
It has the one-off tag. = P
Also, in the forums, Rick said he’d be doing one-offs for a while. (He usually does about a week’s worth between arcs, but this may be a longer break from drawn-out stories.)
well if rick is doin one-offs for a while then hes probly just thinking up more amazing ideas for later on
Drat. I never did finish those guest strips for the call Rick made last year
Yes because he has made the last couple of arc very excellent!
Heh. i thought you meant “let’s hope no one gets ticked off“
Those Commies have got to go!
Also, d’aww.
The “commies” are the dot-com companies, right? Owned by the bourgeois?
I is evul. *laughs at t3h proletariat*

Mafalda quotes in my Housepets?
What has the world come to…?
Kids grow up so fast these days.
sniff sniff. it’s true. They’re years younger and they’re already going to be taller than Peanut (good job on making that noticable, Rick)
Agreed.
For a cub who going to be big when he grows up.
He is already big… with words.
Ow… my brain… X1
BRAINZ! O.O C-cowbell! Where’s mah cowbell, nya! O.o
considering how tall & big are their relatives, is it of any wonder?
IN MY DAY, WE DIDN’T FEED KIDS STEROIDS. OH NO, WE FED ‘EM ANTI-GROWTH PILLS TO KEEP ‘EM CUTE AND STAY ON THE TELEVISION
AND THEN WE HAD TO WALK UPHILL BOTH WAYS WITH BALLS AND CHAINS AROUND OUR LEGS INTO THE SNOW JUST TO TURN ON THE TV
*ahem*
“In my day, we didn’t have TV! We had to walk all the way across town, just to hear the town crier tell us a story. And the kids would be dragged along. And they’d have to like it or else. And then they had to walk all the way back, so that they were so tired at night, they barely grew at all!”
“Gramps, you sure are a bad liar. I know the TV was invented before you were born. We have this thing called Wikipedia now, you know?”

And you didn’t get time off for something as minor as an asteroid impact, you dodged them and kept on working! You youngsters these days have got it easy!
Magma! In my day, if we wanted to swim in magma we had to first invent the universe!
Universe? If only I were so lucky! Do you have any idea what it’s like to not exist? Now THOSE were hard times!
You and every other self-creating deity, demigod, spirit, and gremlin…
Hard TIMES!? BAck in MY day, we didn’t even HAVE time. We had to make that up for YOU young fools
No time? We would be lucky to not have time! We just sat around inexistant. Then if we were lucky the space time continuum would come into existance but since we didn’t exist we still sat around bored!

This is the best comment chain I ever read. XD
HAHAHAHAHA XD
What has Peanut been teaching them!!
Madness! Pure MADNESS!!!!!!!!! Almost 314 SPARTANS worth! I think like 312 and a half
Yes pure madness!
Pure MADNESS!!!!!! but in a good way.
And that’s all we can ask!
Madness? Or pure intellect directly from the guy who created Spot (Superdog)?
Both
It’s the same thing
Insanity and intelect R both equal, but they R defined by measuring teh rate of success, nya! ;3
Do I have to come up with the formula for that as well?
You can tell how many Spartans there are by using this equation:
x=-b±{square root of}bxb-4ac/2a
Hey, wait a minute… BAH! That’s the QUADRATIC EQUATION not the equation for Spartans!
Oh god geometry!!
Mostly Algebra but it does have something to do with Geometry
Ya even through it’s algebra I just hate that formula!!
The Pythagorean theorem has to do with EVERYTHING. Never forget it. It doesn’t go away. Ever.
I thought Pythagorean Theorem was just with triangles…
Yeah for some silly reason I thought you typed the pythagorean theorem. I think it was “geometry” that caused the mistake.
The quadratic formula doesn’t go away much either, though. It does a little.
Actually it’s x=(-b±√(bxb-4ac))/2a
what you wrote was equivalent to x=-b±b-2c
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
I wrote it the same way you did. I just don’t know how to get the symbols on my computer, which is why I wrote “{square root of}”. I also used the “{ }” instead of “( )” because I thought the equation would seem a bit more simple.
BTW, why would I excuse your Aunt Sally? Did she fart? Lol, jk jk.
x=(-b±√(b²-4ac))/2a
Since I thought that the equation represented above was a little inaccurate due to the lack of brackets meaning it’s impossible to tell what to square-root and what to divide.
Not Frank’s, I mean, I didn’t see his D:
It is accurate, I just didn’t know where the symbols are on my computer. >.>
o_o
*runs screaming from the complex math prob*
It’s quite simple, actually. It’s
((L1/L2)*(deci-60))= Sptns
With L1 being logic of reply (logical= 1, illogical= 2), L2 being logic of original statement (same thing), and deci being Decibels of reply when said. 314 is the max amount of spartans because 187 appears to be the highest possible decibel rating for the human ear
HAHA!
ok. i thought i was smart. but…. i can’t even understand this. WHY!!!!! i feel very stupid now
It’s because you’re not mad enough, warhero
OMG!!! I messed up. It is
(L1/L2)x( |deci-60| ) = sptns
All hope would have been lost had I not put that in
That would be funny if that equation was legit. xD
IT IS LEGIT!!!!
Ya I’m with warhero on this with i barely understand.
I understand it but barely
I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’ve learned that in math class, yet! XD
Who knows, I may end up using something similar while I’m programming!
Madness? This is sparta!
You’re late, man
ya to late man, need to be faster than that to put something like that up!
Like, three weeks quicker
Lol, cute.
A privilege no one would like taking away…

I don’t have a long enogh attension spam to read all that!!
first two non-epigraph paragraphs should be enough
Don’t worry. You are not alone. I don’t either.

Yeh, so how do you explain Metallica?
I neither listen to, nor attempt to explain Metallica. What point are you trying to make?
Here goes my feeble attempt: he says he’s going to “eat heumans” (the establishment). Therefore, he’s rebelling, which he apparently considers strong and/or too novel. Peanut says that, compared to other “rebellions against the establishment”, his is rather tame.
I’m guessing the alt text is what Peanut says should be added.
Yes warhero. That is the purpose of alt text. To add extra pizzas to the comic
Aww. I thought you said “pizzas” as in the food! XD
Probably ‘cuz that’s what I’m having for dinner… at 9:40 PM…. >.>
Well it looks like I can’t comment any more!
This comic reminds me of ‘Childhood’s End’ by Arthur C. Clarke.
What did you mean by uncouth? Did you mean risqué, or did you mean hostile?
No uncouth means akward clusmy unmannerly. So basicly almost all my comments.
I know that rwolf. I was just pointing out that it’s a vague term open to way too much interpretation.
It’s like saying that someone’s naive. Naive of what?
Anyway, I get it. He means anything unrelated to the comic.
some one sappin my old name…..
You kidding me? This is a shortened version of a user name I’ve been using since people started stealing Manic back in ‘04! Since this isn’t Google or Yahoo, I can get away with the more generic and thusly, more anon user name.
Manix isn’t even a real word!
Let’s see, would Manic be the Goth and Manix be the Gaul?
/Asterix humour (that part didn’t show up in the previous message…)
And I thought my username was generic
Been “Argent” since 1983!
Before that, he was “Or”
You’ve uncovered my boolean upbringing.
and before that, maybe “rouge”
Rouge et Noir. Ah, the good old days in the Casino Royale.
Argent:
True or False?
I’ve been wanting to do that color joke for quite a while
But I can’t seem to get Furry’s joke
Are you saying “Argent” = “Are Gent”?
No. He said “Boolean upbringing”, and, at least in the programming world, anything with the type “bool” is either True or False.
Check out this link here: http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/ch04.html and see section 4.2.
@Furry321: yes.
Uncouth: Like out of place or awkward/ a comment that would have no relevance pertaining to this comic.
He was probably anticipating some unwanted political discussion. It has a tendency to show up on the internet whenever anything remotely related to politics gets mentioned.
No politics? Well, okay…
THERE IS NO GOD! It’s all just bronze-age mythology!
>:3 Rawr!
Not funny.
Sue me. I’m doing stand up at the Carnegie Hall. -_-
Tread lightly. Tread VERY lightly.
I mean no disrespect, but I’m gonna have to agree with Foxstar. In fact, it’s a bit offensive.
Nice to meet you too.
Sorry, I’m so un-P.C.
It’s a birth defect.
Walk away. Now
Walk?
I Would RUN!!!
Run provokes hostility in the eyes of a dog. Just walk away slowly
Uhm, that’s not a political topic, nya! “^w^
That’s a religious/scientific statement/theory, and Ah would not touch a topic that’s either Religious or scientific kuz; every one’s look on life is different and Ah respect them all, nya! =3

Sounds like you have a case of rabies or anger. Either way, I hear doctors have pills for that.
I liked this one; good job!
Also, im scared about the small subtitle under the title (I don’t know what it means or if it’s referring to me! O.O I’ll look it up).
… yeah uncouth means awkward or strange so i’m not going to make any more comments like the last. Even if it isn’t referring to me.
oh, geeze; i JUST looked at the comment above mine. I feel stoopid
OH COOL UNHAPPY/HAPPY FACE!
Yes the faces are fun.
I’m never good at reading bad grammar, but it’s so nice to see the wolf kids again. (Well just one yet, but who knows. X3)
As a great joke in a comic once said: “Best romance story ever. Now to add some political commentary aaaaand done.”(If anyone knows where this is from ya’ll get a cookie. X3)
Not much sense yet, but who knows perhaps later it’ll make some… maybe.

I think the tea party is the source of all evil. but thats just one man’s opinion….
I think the tea party is the source of all evil. but thats just one man’s opinion….
Naaaah. Tea partiers are just somewhat naive, and too easily lead. Definitely not the source of all evil.
The people who are manipulating tea partiers… those are a source of evil.
I don’t know that anyone’s manipulating the TEA Party Patriots.
Source: Dissension is an archconservative.
Not the place for such things, drop it.
How about tea parties in general? The Mad Hatter’s tea party, little girls playing house, etc? Can this be the place for such things? I mean, he never said which tea party
The Tea Party is http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheManIsStickingItToTheMan
Wow. How much complex and political can a cub be?
I mean this comic starts off so simplistic.
And then BOOM!!! Rebelling against the Establishment? Bourgeois Oppressors?
Man you been hanging out with Linus from “Peanuts” too long kid.
Maybe he’s been with Millie?
http://www.ozyandmillie.org/d/19980807.html
If he’s been with Millie he probably would have taken the alt-text’s advice already.
lol. Nice.
As one who grew up with a cultured wolf like Miles.
After all, his lessons taught Lucretia that their life in the wild sucked
Wait, I’m confused… What’s Peanut mean by that?
Are you talking about the “Actually, not enough” part?
Yeah
… IDK
But with a comic like… that.
You have to wonder.
How much of a “not enough” are we talking about here?
… That’s a scary thought
I think that Peanut means the cub needs to do something even more radical. After all, his commentary is simply about the nasty humans that come to their house, but there are more nasty humans than that and (really) the ‘nastiest’ human that’s visited so far is Bill, which isn’t saying much.
As for the alt text – well, this isn’t a political debate site, but I will say this much: regardless of what party you may or may not affiliate with, there are always going to be extremists.

Which in some cases, that may be true (but I’m not in Afghanistan or Iraq, so how would I know?).
Society has become so desensitized to gore and violence, that the cubs depictions look normal.
[Adding but not disagreeing with Indagare^]
What’s ironic is that I agree with you about society becoming desensitized (to more than just that), and yet I play violent video games (though not the ‘realistic’ ones like Call of Duty). I think it’s not just that we’re desensitized, but that it’s ingrained in our culture, sadly.
Still, the cub’s drawings are not all that disturbing, as while he is a kid, he’s also a wolf.
that doesn’t make it any less confusing, just less frightining
Has Peanut been listening to the ghost of Karl-Lenin-Faust (a.k.a. “Mr. Maust”)?
Probably not seeing as how Faust is the only Housepets character to be killed off (Grape stepped on and eat him after he tried to cause a Communist upraising in the Sandwich house)
Yet another Faust Post.
Ahhh the joys of young rebellion! and if hes gona “axe the establishment” I can recommend a good starting point!
I don’t understand the alt text. Republicans are the source of all evil.
Republicans are Pandora?
And I’m being sarcastic. Hedging my bets since this is the internet.
But, Hedges are the source of all evil! They said so on Fox *and* the Daily Kos!
Well I can’t see the alt text… So I can’t explain it.
“You’re going to want to add a lot more blood, and also be sure to mention that Republicans are the source of all evil.”
This is a Point of View, certainly. = P
Silly Republicans, burning witches or whatever they do.
*could insert similiar jokes about Democrats, decides against it*
At the end of the day, politics is messy, polarizing business.
Forget the end of the day. When it’s all said and done, politics mean nada.
BTW, it kinda surprised me that Rick said that Republicans are the source of all evil. Him living in Alabama I thought he would be a Republican… or is he just being sarcastic… ?
This could be Peanut revealing he’s a democrat, or it could be a joke. You can’t take the alt text too seriously.
I agree… The joke is that all “rebellious” writers drone on about how Republicans are so bad, because that is what is hip in the “rebellious community”.
i agree with RR’s observation :3
*ahem* I drone on about the evil of liberal people
Possibly neither. I assume he’s parodying the fact that Republicans, conservatives or just non-liberals in general are often stock targets of “artistic” criticism. One could be anywhere on the political map and still point out that trend.
Am I like the one republican who reads this comic?
Answer: No. I have to agree with Grape. I prefer communal anarchy
Just remember: All Republican administrations demonstrate man’s inhumanity to man.
Under all Democratic administrations, it’s the other way around.
Hmm? *reactionaries around*
And we care about it because…?
I think he’s trying to see how close he can get to “the thin uncouth line” without getting into trouble
No, he’s just showing you how little of a difference there is between the two parties, though they stand at “polar opposites”
There hasn’t been a major left wing party in the USA since 1933.
@Argent
But what about in Canada?
(Yes, I don’t even know my own country’s politics. But who can blame me; politics are boring.)
*gives you the Kewpie doll!*
You guessed it in one.
All Democratic administrations demonstrate man2’s inhumanity to man1.
@Furry321: Canada is just USA Lite.
Ugh, looks like something that was chewed and spit out!
When I first opened this page, I could only see the first two panels and I thought “aww, he wants to grow up to be like Miles.” When I saw the rest of the strip, I almost fell out of my chair, the I thought “aww, he wants to be a lawer.” Though Deathaxe is a pretty good name for a prosecutor >:3
Objection your honor! The Defense is badgering the witness!
Judge: Agreed. Lawyer for the defense, please hand your witness over to Lawyer Deathaxe
Witness: D–D–Deathaxe? N-N-N-No! I like being badgered! I’m, uh, a masochist!
Objection! Deathaxe is a wolf! Not a badger!
It doesn’t matter. He weaseled out!
I’d say something about dogging your heels, but that would be catty, and I’d outfox myself before I could ferret out a line I could bear to swallow.
Busy like a bee, I see.
Let’s hope no one rats you out!
I already used that one on the Abominable Charles Christopher comments.
you really hounded him down on this!

Though I must admit, they are getting more creative
*Tch* were you raised by the wolves, PJ?
lol!
Stop Buck-buck teh system and chicken out already Psycho, nya! ;p
That’s it! The buck stops here!
Oh? You think so? Hmmmm?
My my my.
Someone found a certain’s mouse’s leaflet.
I was thinking the same thing!
Grape would have some problem eating up this li’l guy…
Uh, I didn’t do it!
well, so far the only ‘oppressor’ was officer Bill.
I’d like to know how the other humans are relating with the wolves….
Officer Bill oppresses enough for 10 regular humans!
right…
I imagine that Animal Control would keep a close watch. The wolves’ papers and living arrangements may have to be checked from time to time to make sure they’re not in violation of the law.
Really, the humans seemed pretty accepting. Mr. and Mrs. Sandwich treated Miles as a guest when he came to invite them to the barbecue. A lot of neighbors seem to have gone to that party, too.
Yeah, you can’t really blame them for being a bit weirded out at first. I mean, no normal person would accept wolves for neighbors in a flash.
I would!
Same here. I think it would be an interesting experience.
Of course, I’m not sure I want my dog to have opposable thumbs. I dread to think of the troubles he’d get into.
*I* would. Heck, I would’ve helped ‘em build their own HOUSE if necessary.
And I’d also babysit their cubs for free. And throw a BBQ for the family every sunday!
As long as they dun howl @ a full moon, Ah would gladly accept them, minya! =3
If they were Bowman’s wolves – which, if this were any other universe but Houspets, they would be – I’d accept them in a flash.
So long as they don’t come knocking on my door, asking me for food
I had to do this, because I discovered it when searching to see if Bowman’s wolf existed anywhere else other than Freefall:

Actually even Bill learned to like them, Lucretia “cooks” a mean steak after all. And by cooks I mean just throws it on the plate.
makes me wonder if Bill didn’t use to be a wolf reincarnated…
huh… I never thought of Bill the officer as an ‘oppressor.’
this strip also implies that Peanut is a revolutionary..?
Scary!
Keep going and you will make up to the Washington Post.
need…to…scratch…cubby’s…FLUFFY chest!
True, but look at Peanut’s ears. ^.^
Peanut’s ears just ASK for some nomnomnom!
lol, Peanut’s whole face always says: Cuddle meh! Minya! ~^w^~
D’awwwwwwwww
I love Miles’ cubs
Peanut, you shouldn’t be teaching him politics. At least not yet. >.>
can’t wait for an ‘Imaginate Th(r)ee’ arc featuring Spot and Deathaxe! Kewl!
good to see a bit of the wolfies there ^^
I’m a Republican! ;o;
Interesting, no one cares.
Dun worry, no one’s purrr-fect, nya! “^w^
(Look @ teh way Ah type fur instance, nya! “-_- )
It’s understandable; dog paws are very hard to type with, and it must be even harder for cats!
Looks like someone needs to work on their drawing skills *wink*
It needs an ironic battle between Deathaxe and Space Laser, until they find they’re really all on the same side and they team up with the humans to oust the narrator!
But wouldn’t the narrator be… himself?
That’s the ironic third act twist that hangs the lampshade on the trophy shark sticking it to the fourth wall.
MostWritersAreHuman: subverted!
Thanks, I’d just escaped from Rick troperolling me in the first place.
[wait, does that mean I was rickrolled?]
I am so confused…
Sorry, did I break the shark there?
No, but you probably wafflehopped it, HYGL.

Gah!!!
Too many tropes(…?) in one sentence!!!
Deus ex machina, Save us naow!

Oh gosh.
He’s getting there! He’s a natural!
I think I see more Calvin and Hobbes parallelism (never a bad thing of course) Was it deliberate?
*runs to bookshelf*
Calvin- “That’s my science fiction story (a poem which also ends with people dying). Think it’s too far-fetched?”
Hobbes- “Not enough, really.”
Also while that comment seems likely coming from Hobbes it’s surprising to hear it from Peanut!
*Inhales deeply* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY WOLFEHS!!!!!!1!!!!1!!!!!
*falls over*
…oops.
I meant to put “insert Sparta Face here” in >< (backwards just in case they disappear)
Uh-oh, dangerous territory with the alt-text there…
Wolf artwork.
I love it. XD
……I’d call dibs on this wolf, but hez too young. >:3
XD funny little cub! “Someday I am going to be as big and strong as daddy” AWWWWW! ^^
Yay for puppies! Er.. cubs! Er… deathaxe!
But…..Republicans ARE the source of all evil.
*runs and hides under a blanket* Just kidding, just kidding!…….mostly….
But…..Politics ARE the source of all evil.
Fixed.
For some reason, the cub’s comic’s art reminds me of something…
I wonder if other “versions” will be shown of others, too
Other versions by the other cubs is what I meant
Well, only one other cub has “chosen” a name thus far; and there’s, what, five of them?
SMASH THE SYSTEM.
Wasn’t it Rip The System by KMFDM, nya? O.O
They’re not that bad, actually.
Though I’ve only listened to like, one song by them.
In the television generation, Americans attacked the other party’s candidates.
In the Internet generation, Americans attack the other party’s voters.
Some people have a pretty distorted view of “progress”.
Nonsense. A man of normal courage can still venture onto the Internet!
Teh Interwebs is a free place, where ya have teh right to place yer views and statements on, minya! >:3
And no one should change tha, nya! ÒwÓ
*looks outside the window of and looks if he can see the FBI van*
another interesting characteristic of the current strip is how ferocious the cub sees himself and his dad. I’ll bet Peanut early works didn’t include snarling muzzles.
…and the comments broke again. My 5:55 post was supposed to be a reply to Enty’s 5:51 post, and my 9:58 PM post was supposed to be a reply to Honoré’s 4:34 post
I drone on about the epicness of Housepets!
How did my comment get up here?
Same way mine did. They’re broken again.
Funny. You’d think after working fine on a strip with over 600 comments, they’d stand one with just 247 without breaking
Blame Canada!
Good Idea!
Blame Canada for breaking the comments?
Watch it, Argent. You’re treading on VERY dangerous territory, there.
Or have you not noticed my eye lasers singing your tail fur?
I can’t upload my avatar correctly. I need help.
No seriously!
Did you try on another computer? That solved it for me
lol!
Bow down to teh Axe-man! Minya! >:3
What?
It’s a peace of a lyric from Omen: The Axe Man, nya! ;p

Am I the only one who thinks this particular cub should have the tag ‘Death axe’?
o.e
BAD PEANUT!!!! filling the younglings heads with ill woe
Sooo….
I should drone on about how none of you used the Reply button?
I like how the cubs are excellent with word choice, but their writing SUCKS! They’re like that one rebellious mouse
Oh, geeze, my comment came up here too. The comments are definitely broken. (By ‘too’ I’m referring to Dr. Prower’s comments a little above mine)
What a great resource!
That last panel is one of my favorites in the whole comic. Love those expressions.
Politics = uncouthness :/
My entire philosophy on politics comes from two lines of a song:
Laugh about it, shout about it, when you’ve got to choose,
Any way you look at it, you lose.
So… I should drone on about the evil of conservative people just to disagree?
Yes, definitely. Or was that a rhetorical question?
