Haha Nice!! ^-^
lol, I agree. Not only that, but Hunk does rule
Heck yes Art Wolf, Hunk does rule and hopefully he gets his own game someday! ^_^
That would be kinda hard to do, I’d think. It would only be fun if it were like the Ada missions in Resident Evil 4, but he would be boring as a main character. Dr. Death has no face thus no emotion. That is why I dislike Master Chief… Just do something cool already. All he does is jump and shoot. >_<
Yeah, that’s about as close to describing Joey as you’re going to get.
O_O
o_O
O_o
o3o
Finaly. hahah. i wonder who is drawing it. i was kinda hoping for the reason why Peanut is so ticked off in the last comic, before the cubs pounce him.
I thought he was ticked off because the cubs thought he was a mascot character.
While I’m at it, I met an awesome gal at AnthroCon that actually did those kinds of portraits at a theme park. One sample pic she made was of herself riding the Robot Unicorn. It was a theme that wound up picked by either little girls or college boys.
oO
A caricature of riding the Robot Unicorn…
That is so awesome
Robot Unicorns?
Here too?!?
no one understands *sniff*
I understand that no one understands. What I don’t understand is why I understand that no one understands.
Do you understand?
yes i do … well i guess
believe itz or not ai actually understant ^_^
Inu225: The evidence of absence is not the evidence of absence
NexusWulf: What
Inu225: What ain’t no country I’ve ever heard of. Do they speak english in what?
NexusWulf: What
Inu225: Say what again motherf^$@er, I dare you!
Meant to say “The evidence of absence is not the absence of evidence” Its easier to say than it is to type apparently.
lol
Pulp Fiction.
Haha. If I could draw, that carachiturist would be me.
Also, panel three Joey. Just saying.
Thanks.
You’re welcome. Happy to be of service.
Also, panel two Joey. Just saying.
(let’s see how far I can push this prediction thing…)
I’ll use it when i feel happy. right now i am a bit stressed.
You could even do different emails, that way we could easily tell from each post whether you were happy or stressed/frustrated when you made it.
Like how my other email has the “whut” picture on it. The one that scared Argent.
wut is this picture. SAID PICTURE.
I think this is it.
Yeah, that was it,
Derp?
And now, Argent scares you back with an avatar change! Where is that from, though?
HAHAHAHAHA ARGENT WUT IS DAT ? XD
It’s another Second Life avatar.
ah second life…. must not stray from housepets topic…. cat skins!
The daemons box has some similar avatars in it.
Yay Joey! I love the Alt Text
What’sitsayWhat’sitsayWhat’sitsayWhat’sitsayWhat’sitsay
“I’m Constantly afraid that i come across like this to everyone.”
Nice.
Val Kilmer Batman your Rocky gravatar is awesome!!!
Seconded. Are you questioning my logic?
Thank you, thank you very much.
I feel so loved.
*wipes single tear of joy*
*splashes water in his face* GET AH HOLD UV URSELF
Does he mean like Joey, or like the caricaturist, do you suppose?
Probably a side comment from Joey.
I fear Mr Theme Park Vendor is going to have a disappointed customer there.
I can’t imagine anyone actually being satisfied with a theme park caricature.
Then again, most people have no taste.
*is very tempted to throw away the caricature he got at prom now*
Hey, you know, maybe I’m just extraordinarily picky.
The key there is not expecting much of a result – but I think I’d expect a bit more of an effort than that in exchange for what looks like $7.99.
It’s not that either insults or labels are necessarily bad in a caricature – it’s just that even the label isn’t much of an effort.
Isn’t that 1.99?
I couldn’t tell, but I assumed that if it was SEVEN ninety-nine, the strip would have ended with the caricature smashed over the artist’s head. And joey getting his money back.
Well, per Rick a bit further down, it looks like it’s 11.99. That’s definitely getting into “upset” territory based on what little we know about the usual pet allowance.
On the other hand… Perhaps the Ferrets have provided a supply of Theme Park World Fundollars (TM) since they know that a lot of the pets won’t have enough money for a single overpriced slushy drink otherwise, even if getting in was free.
Since Rick said it’s actually 11.99 then we must be looking inside the artist then ^^
Either that, or the cariciture is the last thing the… draw-er… sees before Joey hulks out. Also, hulking is now a verb.
Don’t you usually buy caricatures for OTHER people? I know I do ^^
I recall getting a caricature drawn that I loved dearly.
I must have been about five.
I have no idea, now, what it looked like. I just remember that it was the best thing ever.
D’awww!
To be fair, practically everyone’s cute when they’re about five. It’s hard to make a caricature of cuteness that doesn’t itself look cute… if you know how to draw, that is
I was torn when I got my caricature done (at about that age, too). I still have it, and I wasn’t sure if I liked it or not. But then I looked at it again, and I’m not happy with the ginormous chin they gave me.
ai laike lookin at de caricatures at de mall
So Joey is like you?
I understand where you’re coming from with this.
I’m a total dork.
I think we know how much Joey likes fantasy~
Well, i guess that 50/50 i mentioned in the last Comic strip meant nothing =’C
Yes, I’m going to have caricature class! It’s going to be “fun”… XD
Haha so funny!
You are afraid that we picture you in a chair with that look on your face drawing this? I dont think that. BUT WHO IS THIS MASKED MAN? i will know!
The caricaturist gave him a wrong tag ^^
Where? The tag has a “J” on it, it’s just positioned weird. Did you mean something else?
It looks like a banana to me, probably what the caricaturist also thought of Joey.
Keep in mind, the guy gets paid two bucks per drawing. Probably couldn’t be bothered to draw it properly. He may also be illiterate, in which case, he may have thought that it was a banana.
*activates Rick-Signal*
Actually it’s more like 12 bucks per drawing; it got cut off there
Ah, more than I’d thought then. I was reading it as 7.99.
It just came to me that Joey’s quite loaded to be getting a $12 caricature
when he could draw himself better. . .
TWELVE BUCKS? No way man, no way…
Oh my head… THIS CANNOT BE!
*DESTROY*
oh hey guys, what’s up? Why is everybody looking at me funny? And why is the room all trashed? Oh, happy birthday, Phil!
HOLY CRIPPLE MUNCHKIN BUNNIES DE RICK SIGNAL WORKS :O
hmmm wonder if i prezz dis button the Rick siknal will work… *presses button* *button zaps* *BOOM* *blinks shocked and surprised*
?SDRAWKCAB
?ananaB
Nah, it’s still a banana ^^
No, right side up, distorted, only right side up when tag is at right angle to normal position.
I got called that word once. I don’t remember what happened next. Most of it was in another language
If it had been more than two bucks, I’d have asked for my money back.
Simpsons flashback anyone?
“So, do you like dune buggies?”
“Well, it’s not my cup of–”
“Sure you do! Everyone likes dune buggies!”
I know, I’m not happy that it’s a bit like that. I was hoping it to come of more strongly on the character humor.
I think it’s great. ^_^
I wouldn’t worry about it, all the main laughs are from Joey being…well Joey. Crazy pooch.
Well, caricature usually revolves around exaggerating distinguishing features. That’s hard to do with a character who’s already a drawing and thus already has a simplified structure with intentionally exaggerated distinguishing features like the circle around Joey’s eye. It’s even harder to make a caricature of one of your own characters since you’ve already practiced drawing them in a particular fashion – and it’s hardest of all when what you’re essentially trying to mock is a set of personality traits, which are pretty hard to draw.
I wouldn’t be satisfied as Joey, but as a reader I think it works just fine.
I think it’s cruel. But then I can’t stand most romantic comedies because I always empathize too much with the guy when he’s making the inevitable super-embarrassing mistakes…
I forgot about that rule. now i’m even more =C
I love this! I lol’d in real life! XD (shares on FB)
P.S. if anyone was waiting for a joey avie the second panel is gold.
Okay Gravatar change, WORK.
Nice. ima gonna get one 2
what is a caricature?
It’s like a cartoon version of a portrait. Designed to make the draw-ee look silly/dumb/funny/outrageous/etc
kthxbye
or dorky
Nvm. Hypergenesis took my idea and i’m to tired to do it anyways.
Eh, oops?
At least he didn’t accidentally say something about his…other… roleplaying habits, if you know what I mean.
Meow anyone?
ai dun meow ai howl at de moon ; )
even if ai gots ah pic of gwape up :3 ai still ah dog person
Joey: “LET US GET PICURE TAKEN TOGETHER SQUEAK!”
*cough* nevermind; no. That wouldnt work well
Which makes me wonder why Joey didn’t have squeak with him. . .
He only takes her to cat stuff, he can’t be seen with her as a dog, because that would only draw a connection between him and his alter ego.
Oh, my bad. I forgot about that.
Tis a nonissue, my good friend, for all creatures are fallible. I, myself, have made errors that exeed you own greatly in factors of both derp and herp, astonishing though that may be to hear, for I do realize that I am as a god among men, and a giant among dwarves, and a–
GET ON WITH IT!
: P
Did you say derp?
herp
erp
My name is Derp. Wyat Derp.
“George Lucas is the devil”
Words to live by.
Those Droid commercials have to put him in the legal text because he COPYRIGHTED THE WORD DROID.
LIKE SERIOUSLY, EVERYTIME I SAY OR TYPE THE WORD DROID I AM COMMITING COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT BY NOT SAYIN THAT GEORGE LUCAS IS GOD.
SERIOUSLY. WHAT THE HECK.
TO THE ALLCAPS MOIBLE! DUNDUANDA!
I AM SAD/STRESS’d hence my gravatar. someone care or i will kill… err…. ILOVEHOUSEPETS.
You wuldn’t D=
And just so i don’t go X_X, i care very much.
I care. If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t tell you I care, because I wouldn’t care enough to tell you I cared. Therefore, obviously, I care.
Tell me your troubles, and I will listen. And not even that kind of half-listening either. Real, actual listening-ness. Pretty intense, I know.
Wait, I’ve just brome confused. Was that a threat to Ilovehousepets, or did you suddenly get distracted by your love for housepets? OR BOTH.
To me batman. is there anybody else named “Ilovehousepets”?
It was a joke, like, did he suddenly realize HOW MUCH he loves housepets.
you just commited infringment 3 times there lol
Well, TECHNICALLY, I said that George Lucas was god in there, however sarcastically, and that he had copyrighted it, so I think I’m good.
Umm, I mean, STICK IT TO THE MAN, MAN!
drrrrooooiiiiiidddd!!! GL is the devil! blah blah blah.
I’d lol if GL sued me, I’d be like “dude, get over yourself” in court to his face, then say “I rest my case” xD
Id be all like, OBJECTION! GEORGE LUCAS IS A POMPOUS LAMP-POST!
Calling someone a lamp-post: fr when swearing just can’t get your point across.
ive heard people say “im not a leaning post”
..well mainly my mum, because she’s so short and i lean on her xD
When I was little, I got so mad at my mom this one time, I don’t even remember why, but I couldn’t even get the words out. So I called her a lamp-post, and then gasped in horror at what I had said and covered my mouth to prevent any more horrendous foul-mouthery from escaping. She did her best not to laugh, but, me being about three or four, apparently the cuteness overwhelmed her.
u called her ah lamp-post HAHAHHAaHAHHAHAHAHAhhahHahaHhahah ALOLAhahAHahha!!! XD
A theme park caricaturist once asked me if I’d pose so he could do another example to hang in his booth. I said sure and he proceeded to draw one that made my prominent front teeth (a sore spot for me at the time) even more so. I was upset but my parents thought it was funny.
I was wearing a ratty camouflage hat and looked like hick.
Now imagine if he’d charged you money for that…
That happened to me once and i ended up looking like the schoolmaster from pink floyd the wall
Wow, I’m a big fan of Miyazaki too. He’s made some excellent films.
OMFG! he is the king! I cried in Nausicaä ;~;
Miyazaki is a god. My favourite from him is Spirited Away. Ah! All the characters are just so charming and believable, quite a feat for a fantasy setting to accomplish.
Nice reference, Rick =)
This is what should have been drawn: http://tinyurl.com/382u4nk
Haha, nice.
While its on the subject of Miyazaki films. Is anybody planning to see “Tales of Earthsea”?
Its directed by his son, Goro Miyazaki.
o_O
“It is not my book. It is your movie. It is a good movie.”
I don’t get it
That’s what Ursula Le Guin said about it.
Ah. I see.
Well I can’t completely blame Goro. It’s partly because the previous director dropped out of the project at the last minute. I just think it’s sad that people think that the Studio Ghibli name is now tarnish because of him even if it was his first mistake.
I don’t think she was intending anything so very bad by it.
More like, “it’s not my story any more, but I still like it”.
Which, given the depth of Earthsea, is probably as good as you could hope for.
I was o_O that it even existed.
I fear I’d have to say much the same thing about Howl’s Moving Castle – a lot or elements do carry over, but the movie really isn’t much like the book.
I am also a big fan of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli as a whole.
My favorite movie is The Cat Returns, and my favorite Character is the Baron Humbert von Gikkingen!
I got to see up to the Part where the Girl started turning into a cat.
then my cousins had to leave T_T
At which part as she is slowly transforming? Im guessing you are talking about the fitting room scene?
O.o
i dont get it.
Which part, ReCreate?
I got it moments after posting the comment. XD But forgot to say so… soo yeah.
Joey us into d&d and stuff, and hates George Lucas. Apparently, that means dork.
Joey us into d&d and stuff, and hates George Lucas. Apparently, that means he’s a dork.
The caricaturist is a jerk.
There are some basics that charactorists should know, but with changing times they need to get upto date! More anime!
lol, the guy actually wrote dork. =P
Poor misunderstood Joey. . .
You founded it! =D
Aru? I founded what?
reply! again =D
but seriously… *tackle hugs* lol
Oh, hi Kevin, I didn’t recognize you with your new hairdo. ^^
oh yeah. . .
*hugs back*
hugs? ai want hugs :3
- Free hugs? Can I have one?
- Sure, right after I RIP YOUR FACE OFF
It was losted?
I’ve actually tried drawing both Grape and Peanut, but some of the angles are really hard to draw, like if Peanut is facing the camera it makes an illusion on how long his snout is making it look off. The mouth is also one of the hardest parts.
I never knew Joey Liked: “My neighbor Totoro”. I have it On special edition DVD =D
*jealous*
Oh yeah? Well I have it on VHS! But my VCR broke, so I can’t watch it anymore. : (
my little brother shoved the movies into it so hard the motors broke (for grabbing the tape) and he ripped the tray out of my pretty decent built in DVD player.
T_T
2 year olds.
Well, he’s 4 now, but still. It is a grudge that shall stand the test of time.
daw, well that just teaches ou a lesson, dont buy anything expensive until you move out or he can pay you back ;p
I just use my ps2 as a DVD player, but in two years we still haven’t replaces the VCR.
oh lol, well I have a PS3 now, i used to tape alot of shows but now with my ps3 and playtv i can tape everything! =D
Razzle Frazzle gumputnamtoejam flagstaff cheesecake!
You aren’t making me feel any better, you know.
: P
*pats head* dont worry, as soon as you get a PS3 you can enjoy ALL the greatness :3
People still use VCRs?
I mean, for more than ripping your old tapes one last time and burning them to a DVD?
(actually, we have a while wall of fansubs that we haven’t ripped yet because, you know, it’s still a lot of work)
(gah, that reminds me, I still have half a box of audio casettes I haven’t ripped yet)
Are you kidding me? I have an entire box filled to the brim with VHS tapes I can’t watch anymore, and it’s a pretty darn big box.
Sorry, I mean “Defiance”.
I’m still confused
Defiance, Missouri.
Um…
Oh, wait is this about Lackadaisy?
Yeh, it made more sense before you changed your avatar.
No, it confused me then, too.
What about Defiance, Missouri? I’m feeling a little slow.
Bet there’s people still using VCRs there.
Defiant.
It does hold my personal record outsideo f Housepets for “Cute without Sticky”.
“Sticky”?
As in “Sickly-sweet, sticks to your fingers, sugar-syrup sticky”.
I see.
I can’t believe saying “I have My neighbor totoro on Special Edition DVD” Ld to this entire comic “Skyscraper”.
The last panel should be used as a banner or cover art for a HP comic book!!
D8
I’m guessing that the cartoonist had a tint of Bino in him.
kitty sniper! XD man I love that strip. and Bino doesn’t hate Joey…does he? oh wait.
Or a very small hint of Steven Slater
“lol, the guy actually wrote dork. =P”
They are mean like that. Also checking to see if this works, check.
*coughs* click reply, I might have missed it *cough*
I think Joey was peeing him off, plus the guy might have liked starwars xD
Anyone who still likes Star Wars after the Phantom Menace is deep in denial. Not because of any shock and horror over what it did or didn’t do to the franchise, but because it was just plain bad.
The original is still amazing.
Technically, it was amazing, it totally blew away the state of the art. The story-line was junk, though. I saw it when it came out and I was all o_O until the scene in the trench and I was all “Dude, you’re in a spaceship and your best friend is a robot. Use the —ing targeting computer already.”
well hello there! XD what is that gravatar? some warped garfield?
Hardy har har. You’ve seen my games before. This is my main character for my game ‘Tribute’. Which, sadly, may never see the light of day.
Characters*. It was supposed to be two chracters working together. Ala toe Jam and earl 2.
If you make it, they will play.
How about a link for those of us who haven’t seen your games before?
Caricaturists are made of evil and lose and Satan :3
There’s a guy here who is taking a class in caricature making, if I am not mistaken…
So, hello.
Second post actually. My younger brother reccommended house pets to me and, I actually liked it. The reason? Is your writing style. If anyone here has read the Myst books or holes, or Star Wars Labrynth of evil, you know what kind of writing I like. I also tend to try and write like that. Just ask 7ance. He’s probably gonna kill me now for mentioning my book. But still, excellent writing overall. The only bad thing is that you can’t just read the comic. You have to read the comments too. I think my faovurite parts are all the way from the “Raccoons” all the way up to “The Dog Days of Summer”. That being said, before anyone asks, my favorite characters are: King (some of the best writing potential), peanut, grape, spo. Tarot and Fido are in there somewhere. Anyways. Great comic, sorry for the wall of text internet. I can’t wait until the big story lines shake down. It’ll be a fun ride.
Looking forward to more Rick!
(and for crying out loud, what is wrong with referencing past comics? sheesh)
“too long, did not listen” XD
oh good, i didn’t want you to be dissapointed
of course I read it. your wall of text is quite unorthodox, however. back to the comic as a topic. Rick doesn’t take kindly to stray comments. your totally Joey btw.
I is aware of that. Which is why it was only briefly mentioned and as a correction. Which being, is not a problem.
Hi there, welome to the houspets comic comment club. My nam is Val Kilmer Batman and I am your greeter today. Everbody here is really nice, we hope you enjoy your stay.
Also, you have helped me break Argent’s welcoming streak. Have an Internet cookie. It is delicious. You must eat it.
Yes… eat the cookie… MUAHAHAA!
… did I do that evil laugh out loud avian? Sorry ’bout that.
om nom nom nom nom nom nom…CRASH!…
i’m okay
You have eaten COOKIE.
The following affects have been added to you:

Man, my cookie just made me see purple monkey unicorns.
Ack! I remembered I never introduced myself ^^ just suddenly got the urge to post from reading all your comments.
About a week or two. . actually about January last year last year. . .
Googled house pets as housepets and stumbled into the comic. Found it to my liking and I have been a regular since. I loved how it wasn’t another one of those romance driven comics (like most of those “popular” ones).
Ah pooie, I’m so bad with introductions so I’ll just say “I like housepets”
I like housepets.
Well, you’ve been here longer than I have.
I don’t even remember how long I’ve been here. I think the “latest comic” when I first showed up was… aw I don’t remember. I think it was an early King though. I dunno.
I think I was current as of this point:
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/06/28/that-would-be-weird/
And I KNOW I was current as of this point:
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/07/09/and-nothing-but/
And this is my first comment. I think. Walls and Walls of Comments. Like, seriously. Searching for one specific avatar is a pain in the… um… posterior.
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/07/12/slave-to-details-2/
As you can see, I haven’t always been as vocal(?) as I am now.
At least you did try ^^
try “expressive” or “loud”
Join me. Together we can wall-of-text the galaxy… Rick has foreseen this.
Wall of text is fine. Nobody HAS to read it. And King does have a lot of gratatious potential for silly situations.
DONT
Don’t Wot?
wall-of-texting the gallaxy. My worst fear… Behind multiplying spiders comming at me in a clostraphobic space… *hides under blanket*
Don’t join Thoth,
And at Xhunterko,
Welcome!
As u can see some of us are not all there completely; and some get distracted easily.
…Oh look, Joey!!!
You’re too late. By your commenting here, your journey towards the text side is already underway…
Besides, I need more people to help me over-analyze! There are bound to be things I miss and scenarios that I fail to develop, and that’s just terrible.
Now, doesn’t there seem to be quite a gap here between the quality of the game prizes and the quality of the caricature artists productions? (Presuming that the last panel is, indeed, the caricature and not – as someone noted above in a scenario that I had not thought of – a look into the mind of the caricaturist).
lol, cool, good thing I take the time to read small walls of text =p
I think my lungs imploded as soon as i saw that
Double monocle? DOUBLE MONOCLE!
It’s called a “pince-nez”. Teddy Roosevelt wore them.
Yes, but “pince-nez” actually means double monocle. Don’t look it up. Just trust me. Have I ever led you astray? Don’t answer that.
We just had a thread about pince-nez, Val, like a week ago.
Have some more coffee.
I’ll bite
“Double monocle all the way!”
Fancy living is the way to go
Sorry, I know a robot who makes artificial human lungs. Would you like his number?
D:
lol
He may or may not be in business yet. Perhaps theres a waiting list. This is all I could find on him.

Good luck!
Aw man, I love that movie. Now I just have to remember it’s name.
Haddock’s Eyes
¿?
LOL! The picture doesn’t lie! XD
DERP!
WOT?
Obviously the caricature reminded them of “DERP” :3
WOT!?
I’m thinking this
lmao, Never gotten one of those myself, Poor Joey
Just because he has his own opinion he’s a dork? Than we’re all dorks based on that. Who agrees? XD
Only dorks have opinions. Jocks are rough and tough and don’t need them.
Actually jocks have their own opinions as well but they mainly come in form of grrrs and grunts.

I admit defeeeeeeeeeat!!! *cue ‘dun dun duuuun’*
okay that’s lame. . .
uh, go team?
It’s a Jock haiku, maaaaan.
One line too many?
and it’s not following 5-7-5
Oh, wait. Bleaurgh, I need to defrag my brain as “JOCK haiku” didn’t register immediately.
So I guess that’s why those jocks were after me all day. . .
Jocks with opinions are frowned upon by other jocks
Let us all just be glad he didn’t say “Well, I like cats!” =3
*prk*
doesn’t anyone notice how joey has changed his behavior (Not the d&d ,roleplaying or animine parts but he seems to have become more mature a little bit not complaining tough)
Why not? Peanut and Grape give me the distinct impression that they’re growing up, Joey has (as I remember) been established to be younger – and presumably less mature – than Bino and Fido. Ergo, it’s quite reasonable for him to be growing up as well.
I suspect that most of the younger members of the cast are growing up, although we don’t see enough of some of the minor characters to see it.
okay I understand the point but next time less big words plz
:3 no offense but…
or maybe it’s just a stage they’re going through ^^
Naaaah
Once again, hysterical laughter from my cubi-den has made co workers very very nervous.
Can I work where you work? Are you taking applications at the moment?
That caricaturist is a cruel [censored] who needs to have a load of Karma dropped on him from a great height by Tarot and her friends.
Considering the setting, our caricaturist may feel rather upset about spending the day catering to a lot of pets – and thus not be making an effort. Or perhaps he or she is just having a bad day. Or…
It’s still not really doing his or her job though. If you aren’t willing to make a good effort and do the job, you shouldn’t have taken it in the first place.
He took a job working for a mob of ferrets. It’s a bit late to get upset after that.
Well, working for the Milton trust – if they didn’t buy the place after he or she was already employed there. He or she might, fairly reasonably, have assumed that most of his customers would be humans.
That kind of prejudice wouldn’t say much for him or her on the personal level, but the fact that sapient, talking, tool-using creatures are considered property in the Housepets universe says that such prejudices are pretty widespread anyway.
Yeh, they need Jack Holloway in the worst way.
Then get fired sarcastically by Steward and Jeeves.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha *gasp* *full to ground*
Yay way to make me giggle inside ^^
And also how do I get a lil pick up in heeeeya?
A little pick-up, like a Toyota maybe?
Woops that’s what I get for trying to type at 6am lol Pic*
hehe just what i was expected ^^
The handles make you look like you’re being targeted by the Death Star.
(slaps the hell outta his gravatar)
Completely feels so dorkish and is oddly fine with that. XD
(ADORES Miyazaki Films)
…Miyazaki and DnD?
…Joey is officially my favorite character ever.
I’d be perfectly pleased to let him play. Besides… If he can keep track of the rules, of enough details to actually run a campaign (even if his friends are over-interested in barmaids) and all those notebooks full of house rules, how far ahead of say – Bino – does that put him intellectually?
It must be frustrating to have intelligence, and a lot of dreams, and to know that the only thing you can do with them is role-play. That’s enough right there to explain rather a lot of personality quirks.
O look I’m commenter #201! Yay!
Anyways, Joey doesn’t like George Lucas…
Joel confirmed for Asperger’s. :U
* derp I meant Joey
i have that and joey is my favorite i just wish stuff could work out better for him
On what are you basing this diagnosis?
Hush you. You’re a bad prospective roommate. >:|
Yay!
Miyazaki films, Totoro, and Star Wars all mentioned in the same comic page!
Aww…poor Joey…^_^;
And don’t worry, we all worry we come across like this to everyone.
…Though, may I ask, why on EARTH would Joey see George Lucas as the devil?! D8
Indeed …what… what did George Lucas ever do, other than tell great stories? ;.;
Copyright words that were already in common usage?
try to make people accept the horrible world that his mind lives in?
And I think you meant to say, “other than amaze the masses with fantastic light shows.”
does any1 else get scared bai caricatures (ai feel alone)
their weird in their own way….. ai am scared or rather frightened by the bid heads an huge chins!
great now ur rubb’in off on meh!
hehe
Totoro! My childhood came back in an instant ^^
This is how I feel at work. :/ “Hey it’s football season!” “OMG Gen Con is next week I’m so excited!” “….dude, what?”
:/
Caricaturist: Uh so what’s your favorite book to read?
Joey: i’d have to say it’s um Pridelands.
Caricaturist: uh um Pridelands? isn’t that a cat novel… no offense?
Joey: yep well i guess but you see my friend Peanut reads it too so……
Caricaturist: say no more….. *shows Joey a drawi’n of him readi’n Pridelands the novel but with a t-shirt that says i’m a cat lova*
Joey: well uh it’s….. *thinks to himself* i wonder if the caricaturist knows of my skins?
Oh man, flashback. “I want to wear her skin.”
But the Cape Dog is awesome!
Now I really want to see a caricature of Joey in his cat suit.
trust me……. NO U DONT DX
YOU WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO UNSEE IT.
EVEN THE BRAINBLEACH DOES NOTHING.
Poor Joey, i can totally relate to that
A reminderer for us all to not get your portrait done by a caricaturist.
How dare he not like elves?
Probably because they’re so overused that they joined the likes of superheroes and vampires.
or maybe because they’re just snobbish humans with pointy ears and superiority complex(es).
vamps are cool tho…. naw lycans are better (for those of u who dont know what a lycan is… its a werewolf) ^^
joey is better than all of em tho!
and that’s why he has the right to dislike them. ^^
Elves are to humans as cats are to mice.
Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror. — “Lords and Ladies”
Elves are _not nice_.
Terry Pratchet! One of my favorite authors.
touche
I read it again and noticed it was _not nice_
at first I read it as _not mice_
Derrrp?
Of course not, mice have cute little round ears.
googles “pikachu”
Ahhhhhhh! *random passerby punch* -O)0 .o ) wuch. . .
Pikachu is a cartoon numbat.
Now what did I do with my pressed-fairy book? It was around here somewhere…
Sadly, the problem is almost always the same with anything taken from books and translated into a game such as Joey plays; most translations are done by fans, and so wind up vastly overstated.
Is that low wall in the background? I cant really tell
no is just a bush.
…I suddenly like Joey.
lawl totoro-avatar.
Epic.
Quite so
We need a sketch of Joey riding the nekobus.
This
Eh?
Agreed.
I find his ideas intruiging and would like to subscribe to his newsletter.
Joey has amazing taste in movies. Miyazaki forever<3
AgreeD! nao get an Gravitar.
would like to know what he thinks of princess mononoke
I love the last panel, it captures Joey… XD
LOL…
OMG.., it IS my last trip to Disneyland (LOL uncontrollably).
I somewhat feel that Caricature Artist is a bit of a jerk
He is a dork, and being a dork is cool (but not as cool as being a nerd).
word of advice… u seez a strange sign that sayz 2.99 dont go near it!! itz all liez!
$2.99
It says $11.99.
I thought it was 17.99
weh all tink differentleh buh yeah ur right it doez say 11.99….. but u should get mai point…….darn.
! sonic keeps rubbi’n off on meh!
ai ment neva trust a sign dat says $2.99 cause if dat 1 of joey waz bad… imagine 1 even worse…. cause u know it will get worse if it cost less.when it doesn’t cost as much.
I wish gravatar let you choose which avatar to use for which site. Otherwise I’d use my new king one for this site. Maybe after ludum dare.
You can use multiple avatars.
Just use multiple email addresses.
What’s “ludum dare”? Lorem ipsem dolor sit amet?
Aww, I missed you, cute little aviator catapult ferret avatar.
I think we’re missing one Argent. . .
The fox? Or the 3D ferret?
Derrrs a fox?
I suffer from multiple body disorder.
The whole lot’s here now ^^
@Frank, I remembered the fox now. I forgot where it’s from exactly but I guess it turned black and white and now looks
Yes, that’s the one. I was hoping you could tell me where it was from
whateva happened to aski’n argent hmmmmmm?
This is not the fox you’re looking for.
Any fox you imagine you saw was due to a glitch in the matrix. Your brain must have been improperly reconfigured after that phase of processing – you weren’t supposed to remember anything. It was a fox pass.
hmmmm sounds suspicious…. wait what are we talki’n bout again?
Try to stumble in France and you’ll know it.
We were talking about faux paws.
Faux Paws you say?
And velveteen rabbits.
I don’t really care enough to use anything but my one… it’s just a comment wall…
But that defeats the whole point of gravatar.
…
It’s called Globally recognized avatar for a reason.
The net finds its own uses for technology. Even on the net.
Recently, as I perused past pages, I realized that many valiant and courageous commenters are no longer among us.
Avatars and Screen-names, long forgotten, have been remembered once again.
What has happened to these fair people, those who came before us, and taught us in the ways of the commenter, who led us with their eye for detail, and their ageless wisdom?
Only a few remain.
If any of them remain who have simply kept silent, I beg of you to once again grace us with your presence.
For those who have left, or have forgotten, I ask a moment of silence.
AAUUUUUGGGGAAAAAHHHH!!!
Don’t worry, I’m good. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
maybeh the reason they left waz for a different web-comic that they could comment on.
if dats de case den have a moment of silence for Rick in lossi’n some of hiz wonderfulz commentorz………………………………………………………………………………………
Hopefully they’re not lost and just being lazy, but in the event that they are I wonder how many stages is that WC better than HP. . .
Did I hear an “impossible”? Must be my imagination. . .
“Inconceivable”
HAI!!! *waves hands in air uncontrollably*
oh…not me?
the picture says it all and a lot more.
2nd panel Joey FTW
Joey is just pure win ^^
u no wut ai just thought of dus joey do catnip? :l
Possibly, will research later
Probably not, I don’t think it would have any effect on him. But I don’t really know anything about the biology that would be going on there so maybe.
Except that Joey doesn’t seem the type to do that kind of thing, at least to me.
Good point there, it is called catnip
And right, he doesn’t seem like the type
Whoops wrong reply button
He’ll probably trigger the underage alarm when he goes to the counter ;P
and besides. . .

I don’t think they’ll ever get along nicely. . .
Oh wait. . . This was a. . .
“terrible, terrible alternate universe.”
- Rick Griffin
Plus, it was before the redesign…
eww…
Quite a terrifying universe indeed
but… Star Wars is amazing! Especially 4, 5 and 6!
My below post was meant to be a reply
Those are the original, of course they are good
now always remember u are neva alonez wehn a caricaturist drawehs u poorehly cause……. u should noez dat tehrs at least 1 oter person dat sufferz de same moneh loss an low self a steam issues dat u get with poorleh drawn caricatures.
Moneh Loss indeed, That thing cost 12 bucks >.>
And that Caricature artist did draw him poorly
Wait is saying that the caricaturist drew Joey poorly slightly Insulting Rick?
Shouldn’t be because he was intentionally drew that way.
Just like a professional chef intentionally overcooking.
Oh, well then
I blame my over-analyzing mind
Thank you for explaining, otherwise i would’ve lost even more sleep -_-
Superman once ran a story about a comic book artist who couldn’t find work because the fact that he was IN a supers universe made all of his comic books obsolete.
I wonder if the Rick Griffin in this universe has been forced to work as a caricaturist in a theme park run by ferrets.
