SERIOUS AIR
Also, I hope that Theme Park World is an actual planet that the ferrets created instead of just a theme park. It’s like a giant ball of roller coaster tracks.
If that’s the case, then I bet they called upon the King of the Cosmos and the Prince to help.
yes.
Yes.
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did I break him?
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES…
and we go ON and ON and ON and ON…
I hope Rick actually makes a Katamari reference in one of his arcs, this is the only webcomic I follow that, so far, hasn’t made a ROYAL RAINBOW joke.
http://xkcd.com/83/
IMMA CHARGIN’ MAH- *Taco shoots into mouth*
*Shoots ROYAL RAINBOW!!!!!!!*
Oops, I swallowed mah lazor…
Uuuuhhhhhmmmmm … did the ferrets actually create or rebuild Theme Park World? or just invite some special friends to attend the re-opening? I think there would have been more bragging if they actually did own it.
On the other hand, they are excessively rich. I guess it’s possible.
no i think they only have money for a moon not a planet
Hey, check out that small moon.
That’s no small moon, IT’S THEME PARK WORLD!
YAY THEMEPARKWORLDTHEMEPARKWORLDTHEMEPARKWORLD!!!
SERIOUS AIR
Happiest place on Earth? I would like to go to this theme park ^-^
it fun O_O
It’s the happiest place on Earth, on Earth! Of course you wanna go there ^^
I think it’s time Simon got an intervention for his drinking problem…
…preferably one involving pneumatic tubes.
amen
LOL! Pneumatic tube-rat!
Simon, everytime you come home drunk, we’re going to make you go through te entire house in a tube. And then clean it up in the morning. While playing a combination of jazz and funk music at high to ear shattering volume levels.
Okay, maybe that’s a bit harsh. We’ll set the music to the EXACT volume where you can sort of hear the music but no matter what you do, no matter how close you get, no matter HO W HAR YOU TRY, you can never make out the words. Ever.
EVER.
No, that’s just cruel. Keep it at the earshattering.
Simon: Aww, you guys, *sniff*, I love you guys… *urp*
OHMAIGOSHTHATAVVIEISSOCUTE!!!!!!!! XD
I know!
*head explodes from kuteness* O_o
I’m with “sonic id furreh!!!” sooooooooooooooooo cute!!!! love it Argent Stonecutter!
wow sonic… that had… almost no spelling errors…
*sniff*
“Our little [gender] is all grown up!”
*sniff*
DARN! WRONG REPLY BUTTON!
I’m a girl -_-;;
HA! I WAS RIGHT!
I guessed off of the avatar choices…
wait, OUR? WUT THE HECK U TALKIN BOUT BOY!?
lol it looks like they get to go to a Theme Park and Mrs. Sandwich has got an arm on her.. Yay this should be fun
YEA you updated already? when you said it was coming late I thought you meant HOURS later. XD
Even when delayed Rick is never that late (well to my knowledge anyway)
Sign of the Apocalypse #87: Rick Griffin updates Housepets! more than a few hours late. Rick Griffin is NEVER late.
EVER.
PS. Peanuts mouth in panel 2 is quite wide open. =P
Why yes. Yes it is. And I want that face. But I don’t have my computer with me.
I took panel 3 though. because I don’t like having speech bubbles in my avatar and the tail would have driven me nuts.
Wolfy Link = <3
Why do I like Mrs. Sandwich so much? She’s rarely on but she’s just interesting to me. X3
hahaha xD serious air lol
lol very nice i also would like to see this “happiest place on earth” lol
Well, not all that much to analyze in the initial setup strip here – although it makes me wonder if it was something the Ferrets did to Theme Park World that now requires that it be re-opened.
Personally, I do get a distinct “teen-ager” feeling about Grape and Peanut now, as opposed to the “precocious little kid” impression I got in the early days of the strip. Anybody else getting that impression?
As a minor note, “Excising” a ferret brings up interesting images. Was he hanging onto a wall or carpet so strongly that a chunk had to be cut out to eject him?
Yeah, I’m getting the teenager vibe too, and I can only hope that, at some point, Rick sees fit to gift us with a strip featuring flying ferrets at some point.
I’m getting a vision from Fresh Prince of Bel Air of seeing Jazz thrown out of the house. Yep.
I have your flying ferrets right here!
http://xkcd.com/20/
I see your flying ferrets and raise you… raise you…
ummm…
let’s see, how can I top that…
A HAMSTERBALL!
http://www.xkcd.com/152/
Knowing the ferrets… probably.
Also I completely agree with the teenager thing. It’s especially noticeable with Peanut. He’s a lot less childish and now he seems like a quirky teen. This is a good thing for his character.
I think it started with the whole “Pridelands” thing too.
At least, most smaller children don’t keep “eye candy” posters in their rooms.
I think.
Well I thought it was normal for Grape. She seems way more mature and definitely acts older (though she isn’t). Grape has always been the “big sister”, and that’s why I said it’s more noticeable with Peanut. I’m quite fond of his character development actually.
That’s true. And yeah, peanut does seem to be growing up, though he still treats Grape as an older sister. Although, I will stick to my theory by saying that teenager maturity would be required to appreciate pridelands, as well as have any kind of actual “boyfriend-girlfriend” relationship, and that’s when it all really started.
Actually that stuff kind of started at the farm but DONT CHANGE THE SUBJECT!
Except that that was actually still on topic but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT!
Well actually, yeah…
I once knew a guy who ended every sentence with “and, yeah…”, it was really annoying.
What were we talking about again?
Well, given that they are cats and dogs, I’d have expected boyfriend-girlfriend interactions to start well before mental maturity – unless they’re simply born mentally adult. Even given the Housepets universe slower aging curve, I’d expect mental maturity to require seven or eight years, while physical maturity should only take three to four.
Besides, recalling my childhood, it wasn’t uncommon for a pre-adolescent to like “eye candy”. If anything, to judge by an admittedly-limited sample and possibly-faulty recollection, among ten-year-olds girls were more inclined to put up that kind of poster than boys were.
Oh, I’m not denying that they could have relationships before they’re ready, only saying that they seem to be in serious relationships, and that that would suggest to me that they are now closer to teenagers than small children, at least in mental and emotional maturity levels.
And I will admit that I have no experience with the thought processes of ten-year old girls.
Oh, I just mean that their ages probably don’t directly correlate to a single human equivalent. Their equivalent physical age seems to run well ahead of their equivalent mental age (as impressive as that is for their “real” ages).
@Thoth, I can tell you from very recent experience that us teens and pre-teens do have eye-candy. Most of it’s that Twilight stuff though.
Always nice to have a second set of observations that agrees there.
I can haz slow-motion pillow fight?
Yes. And hopefully without brain lock.
AI WANNA BE IN AH SLOW-MO PILLOW FIGHT
Good comic. At the end of the third panel’s “I trust those six about as far as I can throw them,” I was actually thinking to myself “They’re kind of small, I bet you could throw them pretty far actually.” Obviously Peanut had the same thought =p
and (by looking at their body size and guesstimating) their weight would be perfect for throwing.
yah if u just skrunch den up and rap dem so they no undon :3
Peanut, panel 4. My avatar predictions haven’t been wrong yet, lets keep that record going.
Definitely going to happen.
I can totally see it happening. who’s going to be the lucky one that gets it?
I would take it but I’ve only had avatars of my own art so far.
On a side-note are you planning to see the movie version of your avatar?
Mod Edit-We have fourms for a reason.
Argent Stonecutter: female
http://www.sluniverse.com/pics/pic.aspx?id=405668
I mean, really, dude. You coulda googled me. I’m on Facebook, even.
Okay im sorry,but I’m still a bit unsure. I’m wrong? It’s the face, I don’t KNOW why! I’m SORRY!
well I COULD have googled you, but I don’t actually think things through. That would require common sense.
but now I see it, since I visited the link and stuff
actually, now it’s obvious.
also, what is that from?
wait, i found it. Second Life?
Yep, I’m the notorious scripter and avatar addict Argent Stonecutter in Second Life.
On my gender:
*grin*
I’m rather fond of being a “Mr. Bigglesworth”. Yaaaay!
And it’s not that hard to check the eyelashes.
I already saw it as an advanced screening. It’s all kinds of fantastic.
A giant pool of jello?! lucky….
Perfect avatar for that sentence.
Better if he said “Hmm…” or “Interesting…”.
Though that last would require enunciation, and I’m not sure how you do that over the internet.
It’s like saying “laboratory” instead of “labratory” or “lab”.
Quotation marks. Quotation marks everywhere.
ai had a jiant pool of jello once but there wuz an explosion and a few birds wer envolved… :Þ
Peanut talking to peanut talking to peanut…
I see what we did there…
What you have to realize of course is that each one of us is representing an aspect of Peanut’s personality. I am his intelligence, Lupus is Peanut’s snarky side, and Val Kilmer is his excitement.
WOO! I’M PART OF PEANUT’S PERSONALITY!!!!
I would like either panel 2 or panel 3 peanut, if you could fond it in your hearts to stay your mouse from gravatar for a couple of days.
Also, ferretone?
Also, if Simon DOES become the Batferret, I’m sure that Mrs. Sandwich will be happy to help him “fly” to the rescue.
Ferretone is a ferret vitamin, that ferrets love to lick.
Thanks, I don’t actually know that much about animals, I have an allergy. I tried to keep a cat once but I couldn’t do it. Sad.
Ferretone has this pleasant chocolaty smell to it. I cant describe it, its very delicious smelling, and if it wasnt for the picture of the happy ferret on the bottle, id gladly drink some. Its also very oily and hard to get out of carpets when they gnaw a hole in the bottle.
If King can eat dog food…
I’m kidding. No human should ingest something with a happy ferret on the label. I keep seeing Simon with a little brown bottle and a massive grin winking and giving me a thumbs up on a pink label now… And THAT would be truly frightening.
I just had to look it up. Ferretone is real! I wouldn’t say it’s a happy ferret on the label; it’s a photo of a ferret. (And the label is white, not pink — you’re safe.)
No human should ingest something with a happy ferret on the label.
How about otters?
http://30.media.tumblr.com/fd1M41NO1p6r1ccdvqCfg5Qdo1_500.jpg
Much loved by animal photographers everywhere as the only thing that will make ferrets stay still and apparently interested in a subject long enough to take a staged photo.
Hey! I GOT THE FACE! IT’S MINE NOW! MUAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHHAAHAH!!
Sable jills? *sigh* I hate it when I can’t get the joke. I can guess fairly accurately on what he is reffering but its not as funny as knowing it yourself. Agggh it’s to late! I’m da*rn*ned not to find this strip funny except for the alt text!
What’s it say? WHAT’S IT SAY?!
Next up on News At Ten, raw footage of what appears to be one of the Milton ferrets firing live squirrels into a giant pool of Jello.
I see.
Nothing wrong with that; it’s not like the squirrels will be TOO traumatized, and at least they’re still alive. Zombie squirrels would be something else.
It all depends on what the squirrels are fired from. If it’s a cannon, then they might require some therapy, if it’s an industrial sized slingshot… then the ferrets might require some therapy.
Given how wacky real squirrels are, I can see them lining up for a ride like that in the HP world.
And if the launch process involves pneumatic tubes, the ferrets would have been SURE to test it themselves!
And if the launch process involves pneumatic tubes, the ferrets would have been SURE to test it themselves!
…but ferrets weigh more than squirrels, so if the ferrets fall in the prepared jelly, the squirrels will probably miss and become red jelly themselves… O_O;
1 taime ai was in a cannon and it fired and ai wuz all laike “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!”
but it wuz fun ;P
Just adjust the air pressure. Then you could have settings for everyone from Spo to Miles. And install it in Theme Park World.
kewl O_o
Wait, so there wasn’t a “ding” as you vanished offscreen in team rocket fashion?
razzle frazzle grumbugleing monkeys always mucking up my panterra dingmaker device…
Sables are related to ferrets, martins, minks, and (vaguely) weasels. They have soft, golden brown fur which is used in high end artist paint brushes.
The color sable is a very dark brown, and refers to the male sable antelope, which is nearly black when old.
…and ’sable’ also refers to a black-furred ferret.
*hits up the Wiki* The entry on ferrets says “Jills” are what female ferrets are called.
Huh.
Sable is a ferret fur pattern. It’s the classic ferret pattern with the mask over the eyes.
Everything you never wanted to know about ferret fur colors and patterns at Hug A Woozle: http://www.hugawoozel.com/colorings.html
Where all the sable jills at?
Hee! Blazing Saddles for the win!
Once you go sable, you’ll never be able… errr… to watch basic cable?
No, that doesn’t work…
I forgot what color “sable” is, so I looked it up on wikipedia and got a brown marten from Russia.
Then I hit the disambiguation and it said it was “Archaic or literary English for black”. Which wasn’t what I thought, so I’m glad I looked it up.
Sable is used for “black” in heraldry.
Argent is used for “white”.
Really? I was just assuming argent meant silver. Guess I need to brush up on heraldic terminology.
OK, technically argent is a “tincture of silver” like or is “tincture of gold”, but it gets kind of expensive to actually put silver and gold cloth on an easily stolen tabard or on a shield you’re carrying into a battle… so in practice argent is white and or is yellow. You might find actual gold and silver leaf on documents or court arms, but it was pretty rare.
If Simon was actually looking for a Russian Sable (Kolonok) he’d probably end up with more than he could handle, as demonstrated in this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_D4xwdEky4
Sables are a little smaller than ferrets, but way more acrobatic and energetic. The sable totally owns the ferret in this video. And to add to the name confusion, it’s a sable ferret.
Oh, there’s more than one ferret. The second looks like champagne.
man, u just no everythin bout ferrets don’tcha
Not everything. I mean, I couldn’t build one from parts.
U NO WUT AI MEAN >_<!
I do? I do! Do I?
Don’t worry about it if you can’t understand [pronoun], I mean, it’s not like [pronoun]’s a ferret! we can’t expect you to know pretty much everything about ferrets AND understand what sonic means…
AAHH! DON’T HURT ME! It was a JOKE!
NO! NOT THE BUTTONS! NOT MY GUMDROP BUTTONS!
You’re going to spend a lifetime in the lake of salsa if you keep that up. :p
heh, shreck id funny (ai think ai spelt that rite, did ai?)
HEY ARRGEENNTT, y u keep uzin different avvies?
Because I can.
PS: look at polevv’s other videos. His sables are amazing little critters.
*blink*
*blink*
Sables are ferrets squared.
Sables now SCARE me…
Ferrets have been domesticated for thousands of years.
Sables haven’t.
Oh, Chip, check out this crazy little weasel…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPkTJ-QVQzs
WOO KEWL O_o
Peanut has cute faces! But ferretfaces are cuter and I can’t wait to see lots of them in this arc
Peanut’s faces in panel three and four are so cute. <3
wait….A theme park controlled by…ferrets?!? it boggles the mind….but in a GOOD way!
Then perhaps your mind is evil…
because, if a good mind boggles in a bad way then an evil mind would boggle in a good way…
I think…
or maybe I don’t.
Wait, if I am because I think, then by not thinking, I am not!
Now I am, now I’m not!
But if I am not, then how can I think?
Hmm… I set this paradoxical quandry of philosophy before you, the wisest minds of this era that I can both think of and access at any given time.
“Of course you are, my bright little star! I’ve miles and miles of files, pretty files of your fore fathers’ fruit

- Moody Blues
Your response fuels the processes of my ponderance, though I know not what witchery you speak of.
In the mid-1970’s, the Moody Blues were best know for “Knights in White Satin,” but they had several albums. Considered alternative rock, they explored the human psyche with a positive spin.
I think that bit I quoted preceded a song called “On the Threshold of a Dream.” (Not positive about that , though.)

Well, to be fair, they might just have rented it – but with eighty billion to play with, they might well own a few examples of almost any kind of business.
4th Panel = Cutest. Face. Ever.
ai dunno argents ferret avvie is pwetty awesome
I have the feeling that A LOT of attractions will have slight minor errors
“stares at rollercoster”
O.o NO I’M NOT GOING IN THAT THING!!!
Don’t think oF them as errors, think of them as… a unique new take on the balance of safety versus fun. And by safety I mean not dying. And by fun I mean carefully hidden drops and places were there are no tracks and jumps from one roller coaster to another and the exhilarating thrill of not actually dying.
Still
… I’M NOT GOING IN THERE!!!
Hey, I’m afraid of loops, you’re afraid of roller coasters that make safety inspectors wet themselves and run away screaming and tearing out their hair. Everybody’s afraid of something.
I’m afraid of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
And The Jonas Brothers.
Oh god, The Jonas Brothers…
OH GOD THE JONAS BROTHERS.
And, speaking of God, I have a question. Why is it that I sometimes hear people say “Jesus H. Christ”?
Was Jesus’s middle name “Harold” or something? I don’t get it.
I’m guessing here, but it might be “Jesus Holy Christ.”
It’s his middle name. He got it from his dad. You know. “Our Father, who art in Heaven, Harold be thy name.”
… waits for applause … not a sausage …
Well it was hilarious when I was a kid going to a Church of England high school!
It’s his middle name. He got it from his dad. You know. “Our Father, who art in Heaven, Harold be thy name.”
I thought his middle name was Andy, from the hymn “In The Garden:
“Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me,
Andy tells me I am his own…”
*does not wait for applause; runs from brickbats and tomatoes instead*
The beauty of a pun is in the “oy!” of the beholder.
WHAT!? GOD & JESUS?
AAAAAAAAAAH!!! (runs away screaming)
(atheist)
jello,squirrels,and cannon do not mix, and makes a big mess!, and ooo peanut tisk tisk
Psst! Hey!
http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/138/
its a welsh corgi!
It has a similar personality to King as well. What is it about Welsh Corgis that make them so angry? D:
It’s probably just a little man complex. Or a little dog complex. Or whatever.
My Aunt and Uncle have a tiny dog (rat terrier I think) that used to attack large LARGE dogs. And won.
Please don’t make me think of King and Harlan Ellison in the same context again.
@ VAL KILMER
ai got a rat terrier
and ah Chinese crested mixed w/ a chiwawa
& ai used to have *sniff* a corgi mixed w/ a chiwawa *sniff* but… but .. HE’S GONE NOW WAAAAAAAA!!! DX
It’s okay, sonic, we’re here for you.
thanku <:(
Also, I just realized that the only dog characters whose breed I know are King (Welsh Corgi) and Tarot (Pomeranian). And I’m not sure if King counts. And I’m not due if I’m right about Tarot.
Fox is probably a husky
Rex is most likely a Bull Dog
Sergent Ralph is a German Shepherd
Kevin is a Doberman Pinscher
Rufus is an Australian Shepherd
now, we just need Peanut and my mind will be put at ease.
I’d hope that most of them are mutts.
We Megaman fans just call it “20XX”
We Stinkoman fans just call it “20X6.”
that was amusing and confusing haha
I now really want to see Rick draw one of the ferrets launching squirrels into pools of green jello.
In the real world:
Dad- Kids! We’re going to DISNEY LAND!!!
Children- DISNEY LAND! OMGOMG!!! DISNEY DISNEY DISNEY LAND!!
In Housepets world:
Dad- Kids! We’re going to THEME PARK WORLD!!!
Children- THEM PARK WORLD! OMGOMG!!! THEME THEMEY THEME PARK LAND!!
Theme Park WORLD even.
I just realised that WHAT IF the Milton Ferrets Purchased the deed to the moon, and then built a theme park on the moon, and then there was a THEME PARK… on the MOON.
you would most likely attend however turn back as they expect you to bring your own million $ space suit, the helmets have gold lining in the lens so the sun will reflect and not burn your eyes. No less how hot would it get up there?
But it would be on the MOON! HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE?!
And do you realise that it would be the first theme park that could boast 1)being in SPACE and (more impressively) 2) THE LINES WOULD BE SHORT ALL DAY!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60BjkUtqxPE
(“Whalers on the Moon” from Futurama.)
Theme Park World! Generic expression of happiness! Catchphrase!
laughlaughlaughlaughlaughlaugh
the movie won’t be entirely a drama because we laughed there!
Deprecatory comment wryly establishing my role in the movie.
I’m the Actor desperately trying for an Academy Award.
I think I’d rather go to Magical Land from Azumanga Daioh.
Shhhhoooot, you gotta give Peanut some cred there, he TOTALLY used logic to win that confrontation…yo.
expressions like that don’t work nearly as well when the subject in question is so small. =/
I remember saying about someone: “I used to trust him about as far as I could throw him, but I’m bigger and stronger now…”
I find Peanut’s “:P” face here hilarious, especially since he is making a sarcastic remark at his owner XD
Oh wow, Rick all the ferret in-jokes bundled into this strip!
*does the war dance*
PS: you know the ferrets musta tried the jello cannon themselves. They wouldn’t waste a ride like that on squirrels.
I see you’re prepared for some SERIOUS AIR.
Avatar, aviator, same same…
Hold your head high! xD
Ooh! Theme park! I want to ride every thrill rides they have.
This requires a gratuitous tunnel of love. xD
totally THIS.
Also, 4th panel, Peanut FTW
lol he looks cute with his tongue out
Especially if somebody rides solo and acts awkward.
Heck, if the tunnel is long enough (let’s say two hours, m’kay?) it could make just about any group of people feel awkward.
Grape and Max go on the Tunnel of Love.
It’s like 15 minutes long.
*awkward silence*
Grape: So…
*silence*
Grape:Wanna talk about Pridelands?
Max&Grape: *Incomprehensible babbling about Pridelands for the remaining 10 minutes
I think you nailed it. There’s always time for Pridelands. Like there’s always room for jello.
What is this… “tunnel of love”?
What is love? Baby don’t hurt me! Don’t hurt me! No More!
da da da daada da da da daada da da da daada na na na naana!
Gotta admit, hearing creams of “Baby don’t hurt me! Don’t hurt me! No more!” in a tunnel of love is a one-of-a-kind experience.
People look funny at the two guys who go in with their boombox until they see the pictures of them headbanging to “What is Love”
Still pictures of the Roxbury headbob don’t have the same effect as video.
…really? The Milton Ferrets owning a theme park?…
Ok. I can dig that. I just have one question.
What’s the Mascot going to be for this “Theme Park World”?
Wally Weasel? Finey Ferret? Or Something?
Simon.
lol
Can we have Simon wear a ferret suit?
“But I AM a ferret!”
“Sorry, Union rules say ya gotta wear the suit.”
“But I OWN this place!”
“Yeah? Well you don’t own ME!”
“WHAT?! I DON’T?!”
*Union guy walks away*
“WAIT! PLEASE! THERE’S GOT TO BE A LOOPHOLE SOMEWHEEEEEERE!!!!!!!”
King: Psst, Simon… pretend you’re BatBat!
Simon: (!) (suits up)
Keene: Nice work, want a job?
King: (?)
Keene: Simon-handler.
King: …
Keene: Just a thought.
King: “Simon, just pretend you’re the the Batferret!”
Simon: “I AM the Batferret!”
King: “See? That wasn’t too hard now, was it?”
Simon: “No, you don’t understand; I AM THE BATFERRET.”
King: “Hey, whatever gets you through the day, that’s cool.”
Simon: “Well, at least my cover isn’t blown…”
Sable Jill: “I believe you, Mr. Milton. Will you sign this picture of you that I totally didn’t take while hiding in a shrub?”
Simon: “You know, I could get used to this. Or more used to it, at least…”
By the god’s they’re better not be a ferret clown or any clowns in Theme Park World!! I HATE CLOWNS!!! >.<
Ferret = Aww…
Clown = Ahh!!!
Ferret Clown = Aww… Ahh!!! Aww… Ahh!!! Aawhwh.!.!.! XP
IT’S SHOWTIME!
Like the Beetlejuice kind?
yes yes it is. *evil laughter*
BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE!!!!!!!! XD
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!?
They just made a
SERIOUS ERR.
You called?
http://www.reelfocus.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ferret.jpg
lol wer u get these pic argent?
My google-fu is strong!
Argent has been trained in the ways of the Great Googly-moogly.
I pounced
And I pounced again
Great googly moogly!
Drunken ferrets Lolz;D! This means Vodka!
no dis means orange soda ;Þ
Right, they’re sable ferrets, not russian sables.
Drunk Ferret Time?
Now I want some ice cold orange soda in a snow covered glass bottle!!
Waterslides overflowing with ferretone will be the primary attraction at theme park land
There was a Theme Park World in “Kevin & Kell” long ago. Can’t be the same one, tho.
I could picture a drunk Simon flying through the air screaming
“WHERES ALL DA SABLE JILLS AT???”
*sticks tongue out*
Anyone up for some Hot-Shot Baseball? You get 6 balls(ferrets) to hit the farthest Home Run and the distance is measured in ferrets. The person w/ the farthest distance winz!! Now get around that Ferret Abuse and Cruelty lawsuit…>_> XD
Okay, I managed to get my neew avatar up, but I can’t seem to work the cropper box in Gravatar, so I had to go in and crop with Paint and then upload from my hard drive rather than the internet.
Anybodyy else having this problem?
AHH! I CAN’T RECOGNIZE ME!
Please help! Lost in House of Mirrors with Strange Dog! Even the Batman cannot escape! And this dog is enjoying my fear!
The powers of the Mirrors are… overwhelming… Sense of self… fading…
I AM THE DOG THAT IS LAUGHING AT THE BATMAN THAT IS I!
It’s easier to crop in Gimp or Photoshop anyway, so you can trim off dangling talk bubbles and extraneous characters.
well yes, but it won’t let me select the whole picture, so I end up with a cropped version of my cropped version.
You have to make the picture square, and it’ll select the whole thing automatically with no further cropping.
Yeah, Mrs. Sandwich, don’t worry about it. My mom STILL does that thing where she has to cover her mouth to stop laughing and try to win the argument. It doesn’t work for her either.
Looks like it’ll be a romantic date at the generic theme park … like in the animes. The male lead will use this “chansu” to confess to the female lead. Oh wait … he already did.
So from your avatar I see you support the Grape-Peanut match…
Unless of course you just thought it was funny…
I can’t stop posting in elipses…
A little of column A, a little of column B.
Hey Rick, I think the search function is broken.
I was searching “tiger’ because Peanut in panel three reminded me of one of his faces, but I couldn’t find the strip I was looking for.
Then I searched “marvin” (since he’s in the same strip) and the only comic I got was this one:

Just wanted to let you know, because before I was just thinking it might be my iPhone, but now I’m trying on a computer and it’s still weird.
i think if you went to google and wrote ‘housepets tiger” or marvin then i think it would show up with a search with everything there.
BUT THAT’S THE FACE! RIGHT THERE!
The face is the same except for the eyes
Use the tag!
http://www.housepetscomic.com/tag/tiger/
I thought that the search function searched tags!
What does the search function search for?
Good question, it doesn’t seem to have a consistent item it searches for.
Quickly! Get to the RickSignal!
Wascally weplicants.
I fought that’s what widdle Deckawd was supposed to do.
Hawwison Fudd – Bwade Wunner.
Www, this diwecta is stawting to wub me the wong way.
Aww, Widwey Scott’s a widdle sweetheawt. At weast he twies.
“Nyah, what’s up doc?”
“You awe in a desert, you see a tuwtle…”
“A toitle?”
“Yes, a toit… a tuwtle. You turn it over…”
…
“Descwibe good things about your mother.”
“My mudder?”
“Yes.”
“Let me tell you about my mudder, doc!”
FX: gunshot
Search function only looks for body text, not tags.
okay, but I still don’t think “marvin” should return this: http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/03/27/therin-lies-madness/
I can’t find the word “marvin” in there anywhere. Just saying.
Nitpickerman… AWAY!!
“Marvin” is in the post under the comic.
Ah. I see. Thanks!
This is how I feel about the next strip:

Shame on me. At first, I read “Thorpe Park Wolrd” and not “Theme Park World”. ><"
And if I understand well, it may have some squirrels! \o/

Hey! Don’t eat our French language comic translator for Housepets! We need him!
Heaven forbid! The thought never entered my mind!
oh! uummm……. yyah me niether *slowly walk away*
Serious air?
Actually, having (IN PLAY AND WHEN YOUNGER) tossed ferrets onto pillows myself, I know you CAN get some distance with them.
Wait, wouldnt Mrs.Sandwich be able to throw the ferrets pretty far? They arent exactly heavy.
Peanuts face in the last panel is so cute! <3
peanut used tongue
super effect!
…I luv how the characters stick out their tongues from time to time (like in panel 4).
*Reads Altext*
Well, now we know what Argents’ been up to.
Gah, how do the avatars work?
Oh nevermind
as the famous BUGS BUNNY would say “oh mur-DER”
hehe, *facepalm*

WOO SIMON WUT AH um… FERRET
Simon’s little half-mask and dark legs are unusual. That’s one of the few pictures I’ve found of a ferret with that fur pattern.
Alt text is funny as hell! That sounds like a hell of a lot of fun! Being fired into a pool of jell-o…
Lol
