Since Christmas falls on a Saturday, I am going to update then, but here’s the preview for tomorrow so you get your comic on

No.
yes
?
For those who don’t get it, it should be read like this.
Zombie:”Let me out”
Trapper: “No”
So, I simply reversed the joke.
…
Ok, I think I’m done shooting myself in the foot now.
So you’re saying Peanut shouldn’t let Max in?
Well I agree with that. Max has been acting a bit insensitive the last few strips.
Also I want Peanut and Grape to spend some together with family, guests shouldn’t come over until after noon.
Also the way he “asked” to come in wasn’t polite
Aww max is gonna be family soon enough. GRAX 4 DA SHWINS!
If Grape+Peanut=Grapnut, I’m guessing Grape+Max=Grax
In the Housepets! forum, I think we’ve come to an agreement that
Peanut+Grape= Grapenut
Maxwell+Grape=Grapewell
And yes, Grapewell 4 da win!
Grapenut? W to the TF
Grape + Peanut = Granut??
Grape + Max = …. Grax…. Can’t think of anything better for that one…
How about we act like normal non-paparazzi people and say “{Blank} and {Blank} Couple”
i honestly thought that Max was trying to ease the tension. You see, by making Grape angry with him, she isn’t angry with herself over ruining her friendship with Res…
maybe i’m reading too much… but I thought it was a sweet thing.
Um… Did you not notice the book Max is holding? Bet it’s a signed copy… maybe signed by Res!
And I think I may rephrase myself here.
By all means, let the poor kitty in! There’s only two reasons that he would be standing at their door for maybe 8+ hours.
a) his dad forgot or didn’t think that he was coming home and locked the door on him.
b) Grape went in, slammed the door, and completely forgot about Max.
So, by all means, get in here and why didn’t you knock earlier? Honestly?
lol
Don’t Peanut.
Peanut: now a verb
I peanut, you peanut, he, she peanut… C’mon guys it’s first grade wumbology!
Peanutology! The study of peanut
i was waiting for some1 to reference that
We “Quoted” It
Mmm!~
no. never do that again. it’s my job to make bad puns.
But I’m the Pungeon master! Tis my job to be punny!
wait… are you from HellFireComms?!?!?
Hahahaha!
Don’t I wish!
oh… well, fine, just leave my name out of it, okay? it’s just too easy to make puns based around it
quote is your name a reference to cave story by any chance?
yes, yes it is. now i know two people who know of cavestory
You made me lol. Congratulations.
XD
This!
That thump made me laugh really hard, and now I feel bad.
Max ends it with a laugh
Can’t wait for tomorrow
Hopefully there will be mistletoe
MSITLETOE WOULD BE PERFECT!
Above peanut and max?
HAHAHAAHAHA
Maybe
But no, I think he meant Peanut and Grape
Well it depends: do want a comedic kiss or an adorable kiss?
But I did mean Peanut and Grape
Both of those coudl work for peanut and max and Grape and Peanut….Or Grape and max
But for comedic, I’d say Peanut and Max Herpdederp
Adorable, Peanut and Grape :3
Aaaaaack
ai could go either way fer this question X3
Same heeeerree~
*cof*sum1shoulddrawthis*cof*
I ight be able to see someone about that!
O.O… u should
Really, CUz then I will |D
Talking with them as we comment |D!!
EEEEEE!! RALLY!?!
Yus! Hopefully they’ll do it
If they don’t, I’ll be a sad panda :<
itsa “they”
?
Not to seem out of the norm, but I do not want to see Peanut and Grape kiss. Just… no…
Oops, I’m sorry, “He”
And he better bloody do it!
@zero
….. but they already did
@rendak
ooooohhh dat makes more sense :3
and yah he better bloody do it >:)!!!!
Let the shipping begin…
No-no, I mean on the lips. I don’t mind the cheeks so much (though even then I’m not amused; then again, I’ve never been much of a romantic).
the shippers will find you Zero, we will eventually
For maximum comedy, King and Keene.
Keene: Oh no, now we gotta kiss!
King: No we don’t, it’s just a tradition.
Keene: So? We still gotta do it!
King: Unh-uh.
Keene: I’m the boss, and I’m ordering you.
*Awkward smooch*
“Ewww, I kissed a [ferret,dog] (pick one)”
“Eww, I kissed a human”
“Eww, I kissed a f– wait, what?”
“That friend of yours, Tarot? She just can’t keep a secret”
y wud thay kiss
Mistletoe. Also, Rule of Funny
10 points to Frank, well played.
oh peanut…. dat’s prolly sumthin ai would do :3
And me as well xD
Dog reaction. Drop everything and run to door.
Are you calling me a dog? Cuz that’s the same thing I would do XD
When the collar fits…
Peanut never changes.
Oh Peanut what did you do :3
he dropped gwape on de floor and prolly cause himself a painfull tomorrow :3
or a painful five minutes from then
BOOK TO THE FACE
Or something…
Wait tha tdoesn;t make any sense
Max has a book with him…
That he does
FACE BOOK
…
okay yes i actually did make that joke
^this!
Facebook apply directly to the forehead
Facebook apply directly to the forehead
Facebook apply directly to the forehead
Facebook, now available at your local pharmacy…
What’s with all the people making me lol today!?
=O
You made me lol.
Looks like Max somehow got Grape the Pridelands book
Maybe.
Maybe it’s a new book.
From Res.
Who’s gotten tired of the Pridelands.
Starting a new universe.
Space opera. With a Michael Whelan cover.
Yes, I’m cherryh-picking the classics.
I’m going to bet it’s a book signed for Grape, something along the lines of “To the best friend I ever met” or something to that extent. *Shruggles*
Pridelands IN SPAAAAACE!
*facepalm*
Babylon Five Gardens
You made me lol…hard.
lol I never did watch that show but that was funny
B5 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!! Love that show!
*gasp* to be continued!
And I guess Peanut did find out about Res in the end, didn’t he?
Well wouldn’t Grape have told Peanut about Res?
True…but it could’ve just been kept a secret for a while, so that Peanut wouldn’t worry…
peanut???
Sure, they don’t…Christmas Shoes…
Alt Text: The title and alt text deliberately have nothing to do with the comic
Hahahahaha
this
To divert your attention, please enjoy this animated picture of King gulping down orange soda
is there really an animated picture of that?
I can totally see my dog doing that if the world was like Housepets! Lol
Definitely. Peanut could not be more Dog than this.
ai dunno the bone was pertty good
“Don’t judge me”
Wait for it… Wait for it… Wait for it…
(1 day later)
Wait for it… Wait for it… Waaaaaaiit for it…
Anyways, Merry Christmas Moi Harashie Druzgi I Tavarichi!
Merry Christmas My Good Friends And Comrades!
Merry Christmas Mis Buenos Amigos Y Camaradas!
Oh, pero si todavia no es la navidad, mi amigo.
(Oh, but it’s not Christmas yet, my friend…)
Spanglish My friend?
!Feliz Nochebuena y Navidad!
Fröhliches Weihnachten meine Freunde!
CuÃdate de los “camaradas”, en especial si son del color de Papa Noel
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
AHAHAHAHHAHA!
JOJOJOJOJOJO!~
Huh. Just noticed I’m missing the accent on “Papá”
De donde eres? Yo Chileno, pero mi teclado no tiene acentos, me alegro de ver que no soy el unico que habla Castellano.
Lo mÃo es Español Venezolano. Si tienes Windows, los acentos los puedes poner con los códigos alt. (Mantén presionado el “alt” derecho y escribe 160 en el panel numérico para obtener “á”, 161 para la “Ô, 162 para la “ó”, 163 para la “ú”, 164 para la “ñ”, y 130 para la “é”)
Vives en Venezuela? Viviste en Venezuela? Explica. (Los codigos no me salieron.)
Es una laaaaarga historia. EscrÃbeme a frankhghtwr, mi cuenta de Gmail. No quiero hacer wall-of-text aquÃ; menos si no tiene nada que ver con el comic.
Okay, you got me. What language is “Moi Harashie Druzgi I Tavarichi” in?
It is Russian, well an attempt of Russian.
My Russian is not bad, I can talk it and read it, but I cant understand it…
Moi Pa-Ruski nie ploha < My Russian is not bad.
Ok, maybe my Russian is not that great…
It’d be: Moi Ruski yesik ne ochine haroshi, nu ne plohoi I think
(My russian isn’t very good, but it isn’t bad)
Joyeux Noël?
Buon Natale
Bonza boxing-day barbie, it’s beaut mate!
Was Grape sleeping right in front of the Christmas tree? Must’ve made it hard for Santa to sneak by…
either dat or she wuz just rubbin her eye cuz she wuz done cryin….. :3
Or maybe he has Epic Mega Super Awesome Uber* Ninja skillz… or, or, or, maybe he is a Spetzna or… or… AARRGH! Its a world of possibilities!!! AAAHHH! *jumps out from the window*
Or maybe Grinch or Jack did something…
uhhhhh….. sssuuuuurrrrreeeeeeeeee e.e
I was talking about Santa…
uh-huh sure u were
I think it was both actually
amigawd Iratu!
oh mai gawd iratu’s awesome XD!!
Yes! I’ve wanted that T-shirt!
it’s on a t-shirt!?!
Boozehound Iratu! Your Avvie is the image on the shirt!
There’s a T-shirt with that?
Do you want me to link it?
yes please
Question: Will the comments get deleted when you change the comic tomorrow like they did with the first D&D strip in “Dog Days of Summer”?
Probably not right away
Aha, “Save Web Page Complete” saves everyone’s avatars in little PNG files too!
Okay, people. We’ve got 23 hours and 40 minutes to speculate what Max is doing with a book in below-freezing weather. Go!
He was reading on the way there
They are going to read christmas stories at the fireplace…
He just had to show them an awesometastical book he read
My previous bet: A gift from Res.
He found it and decided to make it a gift for no reason
he convinced the fake author to give him a copy and he’ll give it to Grape as an apology
Wow, that’s a lot for the first 20 minutes!
Another guess: He brought it as a shield against sucked-down candy-canes!
that… has a high chance of being true actually
and by high chance i mean 50%
He brought it becuase he didn’t have firewood?
He trapped Res in a book because Max is secretly an evil entity that escaped from Myst.
This…. just lol
Whoa Whoa Whoa, why did the cristmas light color change in panel 2 o_O
Flashing light effects, maybe?
Maybe…*sniff* Maybe…
mabeh it’s ah rotating tree X3
That would be the most funkalicious tree ever, no?
ai believe it wood :3
I must proceed to patent funkalicious as a word, or funkadelic!
I’ve seen rotating trees. ‘Was pretty freaked out the first time I saw them, too
u should do dat O.O
You have? Awesome-sauce
The tree is the same in every panel, but you see different parts of it each time
*Reads Alt-text*
… He’s catching on to us guys.
…Quick! All bets and propositions down!
Uh, how many bets can be made in (checks watch) 23 hours and 30 minutes?
ohoho, many, many more, my friend…but our choices are very few, however…
Tails, how many emails do you have >_>
2, maybe 3…
How do you get so many different images then o_O
He uses the plus trick.
what’s the plus trick
Long-story short, if you put +<word> before the @ sign in your e-mail address, you can trick websites into thinking it’s a different address, despite e-mails actually arriving at your original address. A better explanation can be found at http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/09/13/gotta-boogie/#comment-44920
An even better explanation can be found on the forums, but it’s 2:40 AM here
Ironically, since I revealed the plus trick I hardly ever use it any more.
Crap… I lost all my cookies in that back-room poker game (Yes all 20.030) , do you guys still take internets?
Internets are always legal tender.
100 cookies that max tries to apologize but messes up and gets slapped
or hurt in some way
I wonder…. what is that book Max holding at 4? Caroling book? Bible? Blood-stained copy of Pridelands?
Why blood-stained
cuz of dah fight over it… DUH!!
The Fight, The Good Fight!
blood-stained?? what the hell?
I believe in this case the blood represents true love… Or violence. Preferably candy-cane related violence.
it’s a win-win situation
So far (see http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/12/24/no-comic-should-be-titled-after-the-song-christmas-shoes/comment-page-1/#comment-56886 ) we’ve got
Something to share with Grape
Max’s private reading material
A gift
Hope of the Pridelands
A shield
Firewood
Babylon Five Gardens
Pride of ——
Now adding…
It’s actually a DVD case.
It’s a collection of saucy fanfic.
Too bad that, even if it actually was “a collection of saucy fanfic” we’d probably never be able to read any of it. Except maybe a small blurb that one of the characters reads out loud for other characters (for example, if that’s actually what Max has in his hands, then he could read a portion of it to Peanut and Grape (before being conveniently interrupted).
Too bad we don’t get to read any of the Pridelands stories, too.
Except that Pride of —— is real.
Blood, from a certain author….
I foresee a running gag with the alt-text.
GAH THIS STRIP. IT TEASES ME. MOAR. I MUST HAVE MOAR.
We must all have moar!
I have some Desu for you?
Peanut, you insenitive dolt! :<
Nah. Peanut is just being a dog
BALL!
Speaking ball, I love the latest Freefall.
Indeed, “ball” is the best language to speak
*facepalm* apply directly to forehead
Especially when it’s an invisible ball!
yeah, he’s just doing the natural thing
MERRY CHRISTMASS EVERYBODY!!!
… darn didn’t work
trying to trick the writer into posting 2nd half now?
That, or he was trying to get his comment moderated (two “s” anybody?)
Then again, the original meaning of Christmas was “Christ Mass”, to perform a mass celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
My wager: 50 cookies.
My theorem: The next strip will be completely non-sequiter. The one AFTER xmas will have a wrap up of Grape writing a letter to Res with the signed (by Res) book at her side.
The next Pridelands book will have a co-authoring list for the cats.
The End.
“Meanwhile, at the Good Old Dog’s club”?
Yeh, who was Peanut’s Secret Santa!?
One of the random, mostly generic neighbor dogs from the Fido’s Return arc. It was thrilled to have a chance to interact with one of the main characters but disappointed it was all off panel.
Voiced by Alan Extra from Real Life
Or maybe King. But still, more like an extra.
oh, poor Grape. XD
This cannot end well.
Sure it can and probably will
I commend your faith.
http://www.dramabutton.com/
THUMP.
Can’t say I saw it coming.
How the Max saved Christmas…
By Doctor Juice?
Max gives Grape a signed copy of Pridelands book and he is forgiven being a jerk in couple strips before and then all three have a group hug and christmas is saved. Oh well, I was hoping for bigger Grapenut moment but let’s wait for the tomorrows strip.
They look so cute in second panel. :3
I still totally get Max’s insecurity there and don’t think that was being a jerk.
I still think he was actually trying to lift Grace’s spirits by distracting her… to each his own.
beware of cats carrying books…
Wow, such a short attention span.
Cats go “thump”? I thought they always landed on their feet…
“I have reflexes like a cat!”
“Oh, you sit in boxes and chase laser pointers?”
Lol that was kind of epic right there. Ahh Peanut your a good dog
Max may come up with a plan to band together to help Res get all the credit and build his reputation or it could be a photo album in his paw!
i don’t care if it’s a day early to say…
HAVE A MERRY OL’ CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!
COOKED GOOSE FOR EVERYONE!!
WHAT! PEANUT NOOOOOO! You just gave up cuddle time to let in the competition carrying a present for Grape! =O
Ow? Grape – i feel sorry for grape. XD
Gotta love a friend like Peanut. Always there, but distracted easily…
Also, it’s a good thing there aren’t any candy canes on the Sandwich’s tree
You know, some people may be surprised, but I actually can’t eat candy canes. The (pepper)mint in them makes me sick. Same with any other mint, actually, except for mint-flavoured gum.
Weird, huh?
Also, why, because Grape might use them as missiles to launch at Max (‘cuz she might still be angry with him)?
may i remind you of “so help me max i will suck down a candy-cane tip and stab you with it” from the last strip. but your idea could also be valid
Awww…Second panel looks great, actually. Wonder where this’ll go…
Sir I want to buy these shoes…For my mamma Please!
It’s almost Christmas time and these shoes are just her size…
Sorry….
This is suspense?!?
But, nobody is about to die…Or leave…Or make a big life changing choice….
What type of suspense is this?!?!…..
ehmmm *clears throat* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i sense a awkward moment in the force
wonderful proception yong jedi
omg funny like no tomarow
*falls on ground hoping to die from stuped saying*
What? Can this be? An update on Saturday?
THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END! 2012 DECIDED TO COME EARLY!
Awkwardness of epic proportions. Wonder if Grape will “thank” him with pain?
Intriguing.
No av change. Maybe tomorrow.
And then it changed…
o-o why peanut why :’D
Heh Peanut always knows what to sa-GIFT TIME! Gotta go! (In Hungary giftst go handed out on the night of 24 so I’m away now.):D
DUN DUN DUNNNN
c’mon Peanut, close the door while you have time! D=
I would’ve slammed the door in his face, no jerk talks to Peanut like that D:
that not peanut. he would let grape slam the door on max.
Peanut’s too nice, just easily distracted.
