I just LOVE Sabrina’s expression !!! ^^
Oh, I agree… panel four is priceless!
ditto 2 da both of yall ^-^
I see Tarot coming back for this |3
What’s this, Another Psychic? =D
(I think you are right though, Peanut and Tarot FTW)
Alt-Text: At LEAST our reflections have to weep blood.
ai dun get the alt txt
At LEAST our reflections have to cry out for vengeance.
As in, at least our opposites can make revenge.
Paintings or statues weeping blood is one of those spooky ghost things.
Really Creepy. If you did, best say your prayers; you killed someone. O.O
…Or it was just water w/5%ketchup coming out from the pupils of the figurine in the pictures or statues.
u mean laike this :3?

Are you still copying the link from the preview? You’re supposed to click on “View Full Size Image” on the right side, then copy the url and paste it here.
…and yes, a statue like that…
Wow. Longest. Link. Evar. O.o
blame google not meh…and sorreh ^-^
No, not like that, nothing like that. You’ve doomed us all! The image of an Angel becomes an Angel! Run, run now, the Weeping Angels are upon us!
oorrrrr…. u can jst “X” out of de pic………… o just stare at it fer evah
Grape look’s strange on last panel.
Like a bunny.
She’s doing some twitchy eye thing.
She IS scrunching up her left eye. And raising her right eyebrow.
She’s trying to figure out the “reverse psychology” that Sabrina used.
0_o <-like this
She still kinda looks like Zach though.
Add a carrot and you’ll be fine!
add ah carrot AND color her white… then you’ll beh fine ^-^
@sonic: Then she will become Zach.
nu-uh then she will ALMOST become zack :3
Or the hair is covering part of her eye. Oops.
Both, but she look’s rather different than before and i think is a missing tooth.
Yep, it’s the tooth that threw me off.
But the left eye’s hair continues a little bit farther into the left side as well, and the hair’s border with the eyelid looks like it has a stronger thickness than the actual eyelid, making it seem like there was no eyelid in the first place, and since the above hair streaks are pointing outwards, it makes it seem like the eye-twitch is actually a hair streak pointing outwards.
I think she’s cocking one eyebrow
The first thing I thought was:
“That’s Bugs Bunny, right there.”
…
http://www.supermantv.net/fanart/bingham/whatif/sept14/bugs_comic.jpg
…
Not strange,different.
>.<
All I can wonder now, is what is Zach doing?
He’s totally not busting the non-existent ghosts.
My thought:

What does a ghillie suit have to do with anything? -_-;
Now imagine all the forest critters in one. Then they jump out of the closets and corners.
That would be scarier in a forest. In a house… I dunno.
Apparently, you have never had someone jump out at you in camo in a house before. Not fun. Especially with a loaded paintball gun waiting to go outside. But then, that’s when you pull the airsoft pistol.
I’m not saying it wouldn’t be scary (and that sands startling, to say the least), only that it would be scarier in the woods.
The woodland critters, on home turf, wearing ghillie suits…
I’m sure that they could come up with SOMETHING…
wai wold dey be warin ghillie suits?… dey have laike NATURAL ghillie suit
I think hazmat suits would be scarier.
Now I think of it, they even call those things “bunny suits”.
I could see them busting in “What are you animals doing here? Didn’t you see the toxic waste signs outside? Did someone steal the toxic waste signs again?”
http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/usa/images-3/men-in-hazmat-suits.jpg
Oh, it’s nothing, really. We’re just gonna take some of this, k thanks bye.

Hmm…I wonder what kind of radioactive materials are built-in into our processors nowadays…Uranium? Plutonium? Radium? Americium? Argentium?
@ argent
?
iz the 1 in the back their leader
That’s the hive queen.
Monday:
Zach: Rats. I checked every room in the house and the PKE meter didn’t even blink. This house is a full magnitude less spooky than average background spookiness!
Rat: Isn’t that what you wanted?
Zach: No! It costs me 20 allowances to buy all this junk! Now I gotta– how did you get in here?
Rat: You called for rats; rats came
Marvin: Maybe we can work with this…
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068264/
thers a book….. of killer rats
Actually i have saw a movie about rats infesting a mall and somehow killing people.
…the rebirth of the bubonic plague?
@Alex M.: I can see an SNL skit of that happening…
Excuse my ignorance, but what is that of SNL skit?
Not sure, but given that it contains skits I think it’s Saturday Night Live.
If you’ve heard of “more cowbell”, then you’ve heard of Saturday Night Live.
Yes! You win one free internets!
*plays saxophone* “Sergio!”
I love Sabrina and Grape in the last Panel.
Sabrina sure is becoming more expressive if her facial expressions.
I mean “with” not “if” >_<
We should all have a typos day where we all make typos.
Except that people who always type funny have to type without typos. Without intentional typos, at least.
I didn’t say it was opposite day.
BUT! if it’s typo day, and they NORMALLY type with typos, THEN! it could be argued that typing normally would be considered a typo as it is a deviation from proper typing form (or at least, their proper typing form)
Unless you’re in a reverse zone, or you crossed your eyes while you were typing… doesn’t anyone know how to play Calvinball any more?
“Other kids’ games are all such a bore!
They’ve gotta have rules and they gotta keep score!
Calvinball is better by far!
It’s never the same! It’s always bizarre!
You don’t need a team or a referee!
You know that it’s great, ’cause it’s named after me!”
-Guess Me
s- so ai haf to taipe normal naow
?
Well, you make up your own rules as you play along, that’s the first law of Calvinball.
sooooooo…. ai dun have to change de way ai type
Nope! Because today’s not typos day!
Max obviously has yet to learn life’s most important lesson: NEVER anger an ex.
That’s what I’m doing for Halloween.
An unhaunted house.
I’m doing a Star Trek theme. I’m gonna dress up as George Takei, hide in my bushes, and every time someone comes up to ring the bell I’ll go, “Oooh my”.
No no no your meant to say “Hello” like how they did in the Family guy lol
no they say it laike this heeeelloooooo XD
“Hellooooo nurse”?
Hello Seahorse!
I won’t know since don’t watch Family Guy for many, MANY reasons Rick Griffin said not to discuss on here.
Then in the end we find out why Sabrina’s still “in-training”.
lol that would be a great twist ending
By George I think you’ve got it!
Why do I want to go “one, two, three, one, two, three” and wave my arms like I’m conducting music when I read this? WHY?
And to stick with the Bugs Bunny feel I got from Grape…
“I wish my cousin George was here…”
http://www.jenn98.com/bugs/images/bugs-n-champ.jpg
Definitely.
Ahaha. xD
Of course, if she measured the background while Tarot was still around, then the Spirit Dragon would have been part of the “background noise”… ^^;
That last panel debuts either Grape’s Joeyface, or Joey’s Grapeface.
Grapeface.
It would be very interesting if they were to go in the house and find… a call box for the London Metropolitan Police.
Or rather, something that *looks* like a call box for the London Metropolitan Police…
Ooh! Ooh! How about a 1985 car?
Or better yet, it is a call box for the London police, and the spook is the long-distance fee!
And after close examination they find a hook on the passenger side door handle.
If it’s going to be a police call box, it has to be of the Mackenzie Trench design.
Except, then it’d be aliens, not ghosts.
Aliens are still scary… right?
Come on, back me up, people
Well, it becomes normal 1000 years later…so….yeah…
When you copy image location, make sure to view the full image, in order to minimize the linkage’s length.
…And are they aliens?
o.O Apparently, Sonic’s link has been modded…
wa- wai would it be modded ther was nothin bad on it just a picture of the doctah! <read with british accent ;3
“Doctor… what is that?”
“He’s some kind of… absorbathon, absorbinator, absorbalof…”
“Yes! Absorbalof! I like that!”
“He’s an absorbalof.”
heh… David Tennant was the best
Yes. Yes he was.
I suppose I’m biased though. My first ever Doctor Who experience was a SyFy channel Monday Marathon.
IT WAS AWESOME.
I started with the second part of that one with the 9th Doctor, and the Gas-Mask people (part 2 of 2). I then watched until the end. Next week, I saw from a few episodes after that (it started at 8, and it was summer), all the way through the introduction of the 10th Doctor.
So the 9th and 10th are my favorites.
Still, bowties are cool. I just wish that he could be a little more serious sometimes.
Raxicoricofalipatorians are scary. Daleks are scary. The alien that would come with the Police Box wouldn’t be scary.
Then again, if he’s there, a proper, scary alien would probably be there as well.
Vashta Narada?
They’ve already got 10+ people pretending to be ghosts. Why would they want more?
(now re-read that as reverse psychology)
Hmmm. Like this?
They already goy 10+ ghosts pretending to be people. Why wouldn’t they want more?
Goy ghosts? Jewish vampires?
*Do Jewish vampires avoid crosses or Stars of David?
“Oy vey, have you got the wrong vampire.” – Shagal, the Inn Keeper (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061655/quotes)
Ah, would a 6-point Sheriff’s Star work as well?
It’s somewhat refreshing to see Sabrina featured so prominently in an arc, considering the lack of screen time she’s had during the comic’s run.
If i didnt know better i’d thing Grape was teasing Sabrina in that subtle GF to ex GF way…at least that is how it looks like Sabrina may be taking it….or….not….err nevermind
think..not thing…arf, typos day!
How we can summon bening spirits?
And are they anything like tumors?
IT’S NOT A TUMOR!
…Err… sorry about that. Couldn’t help it. That one was screaming at me, almost gave me a… headache.
I knew as soon as I posted it that somebody was going to have to. I’m surprised it waited as long as it did, actually.
Huh, what is this? …I don’t even…Oh no….
*Benign Tumors
Oh oh!
Maybe this way we can summon some ones,
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/03/08/foreignese/
Making a sacrifice ritual and speaking in foreing languages
we can make the unhaunted house into a “Possesed House”
But then, it’d be Déjà vu, no?
Not necessarily. Remember it didn’t work that time
Why it will be a Déjà vu, this time Max can use Grape as sacrifice and talk backwards something like :
“Dnim Ruoy Otni Ees Nac Rood Eht”
It can?
Oh my bad…
Why it will be a Déjà vu?
No, I meant the “The Door Can See Into Your Mind.” Does it really?
Good you got it
Take a cookie.
“Lous Rouy Otni Ees Nac Rood Eht”
“Gnihtyreve S’ti Rood Eht”
And yes, doors are spy.
There is no plural of spy?
“The Door can see into your soul,
the door it’s everything.
And yes, it’s “spies.”
Well this is going to be fun, a haunted experience in an unhaunted house. If they really want a scare, Tarot should just tell Pete to have at them all after they sign the “We’re okay with being scared” liability waivers. =D
That would be interesting to see.
if you are still doing pencil and paper i’m starting to notice a difference
I think the teeth are a little weird sometimes, but other than that I haven’t consciously noticed much difference. I’m sure there are a few, it’s just that I’m not aware of them.
Meaning: what are YOU noticing? Anything specific?
And now Sabrina is my new favorite character. I’m fickle like that.
But I’m not getting rid of my Joey avatars. I spent like, two hours downloading, cropping, saving, uploading, adding emails, and sorting the 31 Joey avatars I have. They’re staying.
Joey avatars are awesome!
Your avatar is more awesome.
I just realized…
No new strip until Monday…
This is either going to have a billion comments or almost none…
But I must say that I REALLY want to see what happens next…
I wish that I was a psychic…
Be careful what you wish for.
There’s a forum thread for that:
http://www.housepetscomic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=470&start=2280
Oh ho ho! What will happen now? =3
Rats, back to Plan A.
They’re calling you to do it? XP
Plan A was the twin trick.
Plan B was Tarot.
Plan C was Sabrina.
So I guess it’s back to plan B, not plan A. Doh.
…Or, Plan D, which includes Plan A and Plan B, where the Bigglesworths are controlled by “benign ghosts” summoned by Tarot.
Actually, that does raise a point: will any ferrets get involved?
Ferrets and wolves in hazmat suits.
…and bunnies! Don’t forget about the bunnies!
Tasty tasty bunnies.
or… u know *caugh*squarills*caugh*
but if we include them, we must include cats, dogs, and crocodiles to control the population as well!
haHA! Max is upsetting Sabrina and showing Grape why she deserves Peanut!
hmmm….marvin’s group will scare max’s but then something scares both groups out of the house SURPRISE CHARACTER APPEARS! who could it be (Peanut perhaps?)
that’s how i think this arc is going to go anyway
This so won’t end well, might I sudgest someone prepares a counter spell, or some stupid ghost amulet, that sounds way to implausible…Just saying *looks around in a paranoid way*
I just realized Ricks background woodgrain tiles are mirrored, not tessellated. And now I can’t unsee them.
These are not the woodgrains you are looking for.
Sabrina’s headfur SCREAMS to be ruffled! *squeeeee*
A psychic using reverse psychology? How psychotic. So psyched its psychedelic. Sorry it’s psychogenic.
I’m psyched. Are you psyched?
i’m thirsty actually
I have reverse thirst, actually.
You want the bathroom. It’s in this direction:
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/08/25/actually-nevermind/
…are you sure? I see a whirlpool in there…will it give me the answer of division by 0?
F*** Ya!
So, the place is so boring and abandoned that even ghosts don’t want to hang out there. That’s pretty sad. Either that, or the ghosts had the house re-posessed!
HEYOOO! I’ll be here all week.
But… but… this week only has two days left!
Sabrina looks a little too much like Grape in the 3rd panel.
Why is my avatar not showing?
it’s there ^-^
ilove the facial expressions in this comic
What Max meant was that he was going to need to change the theme of the house from the twins to Indian ghosts and have to make a skull with Indian feathers, which may also involve Tarot as well to make the effects work well. A stage like this was presented in family guy where the house became haunted and disappeared into thin air until Peter placed the skull back to the burial.
Oh, and my bad. I just realized that family guy is not allowed…
I see a grapes face and all i see is DERP
Is Max saying “FFS” in panel one? Oh my.
You know better then that. He’s a cat. Cats fffsst all the time when annoyed.
Like Foxstar said. it’s just Max giving off a sound to express his sarcasm.
First of all it’s sogreat that Sabrina finally has more role, I love character development. (Why I use this expression if I don’ know what it really means is a mistery to me, sorry.)
So now to that unhaunted part, yeah isn’t it horrible when on Halloween you’re in an old house that doesn’t have a supernatural being that A: Wants to scare you away or B: Wants you to join it in the Club of the undead… Why do I get such a sarcastic feeling while saying this? :p
One more thing: Our scaring plan? Ya mean Grape and Sabrina? Then why doesn Sabrina act like she didn’ know about it… or somethin.
105th lol
wu
woops ai ment to say WUT ^_^
Huh? You’re counting your laughs?
I don’t quite get the last panel…As far as I can tell, Sabrina just lied to Max…?
Sabrina is being ironic.
Sabrina looks wolfy-ish in panel 2. Maybe it’s the tooth.
I was thinking it was the tail, very fluffy.
Me too!
So, is the house haunted or not?
It’s not…yet!
Who else here thinks Maxwell and Sabrina would make a good couple?
Let’s say they WERE a good couple, probably for superficial purposes too…
Ya… you might wanna go read some character bios and look back a few arcs before commenting on recent work… Js lol
I know that they were a good couple, I am just saying, if they ever get back together, do you think they would make a good couple?
that’s a good question
Most likely, there’s a REASON that they broke up in the first place. In general, I’ve found that most people don’t change that much, so if you can’t be in a relationship with somebody at one point, you probably won’t do very well if you try again.
Hey, you never know!
Incidentally:
Anyone notice a trend of the neighborhood pets looking progressively more kid-like? Maybe I’m just weird, but I went back and checked and Max and Sabrina and Grape were definitely more kitty-ish in earlier arcs then now.
That’s adolescence for ya! You mature some, you immature some! It all depends on your choices and the world around you. Some mature faster than others, others don’t.
….wait what? I don’t follow.
lol
I broke ya, didn’t I? Well, notice that there’s also been a trend in their maturity as well, as in the last 3 or 4 arcs, compared to the ones beforehand and the ones now.
…or since they’re just all cats, that means that they socialize better and more animated with themselves than with dogs.
“I’m not aging, I’m maturing!”
http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/1995/ga950614.gif
Obviosly others wouldn’t mature faster than others! That would be like suing that I’m taller than myself! Of course, of all of some mature faster than all of the others, do some of the some mature faster than the other some of the some? As a great and wise moon bear once said, “GrawrARGHARarw!!”
That’s pretty much a psychological question you must ask yourself with total honesty.
You forgot the ankh in panel 1
No, it’s there, just behind the notebook. Notice that most of the collars are not drawn with a linkage chain to their tag, by the way.
“I laughed, I cried, it was better than Forest Animals!“
you just forgot a little thing its the ankh in panel 1
