And it was awful too. 3: I can see this arc delving into the world of being trapped in your house and discovering that being snowed in isn’t all that awesome after all.
As i remember, my dad tells me when he was around 17 or so the snow would be quite large and him and his friends would make tunnels about the size of an living room…. :p
Now all they need is to organize the good ol dogs club to dig a network of tunnels throughout the neighborhood – whereupon the cats can sensibly stay inside.
Which will give rise to a dozen phone calls saying “Hey, I just finished the tunnel to your house, where are you?”
“Me? I’m at your house! I’ve just finished the tunnel to it!”
That’s awesome! Best alteration of physics, when the snow is a perfect wall at the door when you open it!
Love Grape’s comment! She does make a good point though, you could make many more snowmen (or snowdogs) with a mold than you could by hand. Gotta try that some time…
If only that would happen here! -35C (not sure about *F) would seem a whole lot better!
And thanks for sharing the pics (however not-yours they may be!)
According to he Google calculator, -35 degrees Celsius = -31 degrees Fahrenheit exactly (which is wierd; there’s usually all these decimals, you know?)
Shoot, I wish I could get snow like that around where I’m at. Peanut must’ve seriously rushed if he walked right into a wall of snow, then again, I might’ve done the same if I heard there was going to be lots of snow.
Peanut is like a happy puppy in the first panel, how come others didn’ mention that so far? X3
My parents always tell me that back in their young days there were always so much snow that it covered whole cars and they had to dig tracks to move, but now we’re lucky if we even get snow right before christmas(we didn’ have a white christmas for years now). I think I was born in the wrong time period. XP
Yeah we had a bit more snow then before, but it’s still nothin compared to the old times. BTW it’s not even cuz it wasn’t cold enough, the roads had ice on them all the time, but still no snow. X(
first time commenting. I just read through the entire archive twice in about a week. I love this comic.
I wish I had that much snow, I’d still be asleep because school would be canceled.
this is the first time I’ve ever read an archive twice. then again, I usually pick up on a comic after it’s been going for too long for me to read it twice.
Seriously, I used to troll furries like it was 1999, but then Rick Griffin had to come along and spoil the fun by showing me the awesomeness involved with this fine group of people.
Join us.
I’m not sure about “they” …. I know ONE person that uses a flamethrower to get rid of snow, but that’s expected of that one person, lol.
I lived at a higher elevation and they just push it around with bulldozers a lot, even after the 10+ foot storms #MissesThose
They’re not very effective, and in the temperatures up there, the newly formed ice from the flamethrower melt would be nearly frictionless (VERY bad thing)
Man, I only WISH I had that much snow. This year’s had a wuss winter, hydrocrystallically. *copyrights new word, btw* cx What a great comic Rick, on many levels beyond just entertainment. Keep it up, it’s a good thing that you do this.
If it’s snowed so much, that must’ve become all packed up and turned into ice. Which means that must’ve hurt a lot. Poor peanut.
Yes, I’m a new reader. But I’ve been through all the previous comics BEFORE I decided to start posting comments.
You’re right about that. Compressed snow makes solid ice. Just curious though, unless their whole house was buried, wouldn’t at last some part stay snow?
You know, the very existence of flamethrowers is proof that, at some point, someone said “I want to set that person/place/thing over there on fire, but I’m not close enough to do it.”
Alt text* “You know what I learned about snow removal? Up in the mountains they use FLAMETHROWERS to get rid of it. Yet another reason the mountains are better than the beach”
I have opened my door to that before. Scared the holy bee-jeebus out of me! It was 6:30 am and the lights were off so I wouldn’t wake my sister….The only break in the wall of white was a small hole where the handle was stuck into it. I don’t think I’ve ever shut a door more carefully in my entire life!
XD NOICE. I don’t know if this could actually happen, despite Fern’s account above me, but…hey, what do I know? I’m only from WISCONSIN…(Then again, it’s more cold there than snowy, I guess…)
Haha indeed!!
dat would be EPIC X3
u go to walk outside and *chunk*
…. a big wall of snow :3
Happened to me once, but it caved in as soon as we opened the door. Snow drifts around our house.
And it was awful too. 3: I can see this arc delving into the world of being trapped in your house and discovering that being snowed in isn’t all that awesome after all.
So long as you have food, power and internet, what else do you need?
Water!
If you have power and snow, you have water.
As i remember, my dad tells me when he was around 17 or so the snow would be quite large and him and his friends would make tunnels about the size of an living room…. :p
See, you just need food, power, and internet! You can even make your own shelter!
Eh, I just need food and a big coat (in which bottles of snow can defrost)… and all the books I haven’t managed to read … and my wind-up LED lamp…
Hah, the alt-text is funny because it’s true.
Also, poor Peanut!
lol That is a whole lot of Snow I like the title of the comic its lame but in a neat way
I mean of the Strip XD I just relised what that sounds like
Flamethrowers are awesome! Better than just shuffling through tons of snow
Yeah, but here in Texas we don’t even bother to shovel the snow, we just wait an hour for it to melt.
yep
I agree. Taking advantage of physics really pays for itself!
Once again. NIce try peanut.
Super hero Peanut in panel 2.
How will
SpotPeanut (Superdog) save Babylon Gardens from the menace of the snowstorm?!? Stay tuned!He’ll use his super faceplant! =O
Then I’ll use my super facepawlm!
Oh no, it wasn’t very effective. :/
Peanut should learn Flamethrower. :3
“Peanut wants to learn Flamethrower but he already knows four move witch one would you like to delete?” (eat) (sleep) (draw) (poo)
I choose to replace (sleep) so that he can’t get lazy and doze off.
Oh-oh, he’s gonna be in trouble without (breathe).
oh? but have you’ve ever seen peanut breath?
Try the flamethrower Peanut.
You know how some dogs will randomly poke you in the back with their nose?
As if Grape’s cold paws on Christmas weren’t bad enough. Well, Peanut can get his dad back for the fetch thing!
That is so true.
Considering how thease are Housepets! and not normal pets, that may not still be the case…
We must hire a Pyro! Quickly!
Mmph!
PYRO IS SPY
My degreaser’s true
My shotgun is loaded
My Axtinguisher is sharp
Show me a spy
and I’ll show you a dead man
You totally should have made that RHYME! That would have been AWESOME!!!
And by the way, I prefer The Back Scratcher since Medics find me useless anyway
Axtinguisher’s a fine lady
As long as the scouts hold steady
Backscratcher is not credit to team
It’ll get you creamed
Duuuude….. i wish i got snow of that caliber. here in texas, we’re lucky if everything freezes over.
Dude! That’s a lotta slushie…
Also, one down, 999 to go!
Now all they need is to organize the good ol dogs club to dig a network of tunnels throughout the neighborhood – whereupon the cats can sensibly stay inside.
best idea eva
Which will give rise to a dozen phone calls saying “Hey, I just finished the tunnel to your house, where are you?”
“Me? I’m at your house! I’ve just finished the tunnel to it!”
You know it’s a great idea when it sounds entirely plausible for this comic. ^__^
Adam: Plausable?
Jamei: Plausable
100 points for awsome reference
That’s awesome! Best alteration of physics, when the snow is a perfect wall at the door when you open it!

Snow fridge with bonus cat!

And popular!

Heeey, it’s pretty much what I’ve seen everytime I’ve tried to go outside for the past few days.
Well played, Mr. Winter Storm, well played indeed.
It’s looking close to that here… not literally but… it’s the most I’ve seen in a LOOONG while….
“Oh ha ha” indeed
last panel is amazing
Peanut looks epic putting that scarf on. On to adventure!
Shoot, I wish I could get snow like that around where I’m at. Peanut must’ve seriously rushed if he walked right into a wall of snow, then again, I might’ve done the same if I heard there was going to be lots of snow.
Also, alt-text was awesome!
Oh no! We’re snowed in! …I mean too late! Strong Mad and the Cheat have already been jibblified! Oh wait… we really are snowed in. Never mind.
Peanut really puts his heroic superhero(dog) pose in the second panel. This arc is going to be awesome!
My first thought: omg you could totally make tons of epic SNOW TUNNELS in that
Also 1000 snowdogs reminds me of Calvin&Hobbes
I was awed to discover that some people actually make those Calvin and Hobbes sculptures in real life!
http://www.plime.com/l/137751-related/1/
Ahaha that’s awesome!
The one I was thinking of was the row of snowmen saluting his dad as he’s walking home, but this one’s equally funny
The last panel… I’m sorry. I just can’t stop laughing.
2nd panel.
Peanut = EPIC
Up at 6AM!? Puh-leeez.. I wake up at 1pm
wake up at 1am?!?! i stay up till 4am!
I meant PM whatever bro lol
I fall asleep round 3am and sleep till bout 1pm
and i missread that :p
i go to bed around 2-4am wake up at 7-9 am >_>
I must find a similarly drawn Peanut pic from another comic so I can photoshop Peanut playing Portals. XD
do it
Peanut is like a happy puppy in the first panel, how come others didn’ mention that so far? X3

most snow i’ve seen in the last ten years this year, my parents said the same thing about their youth
Yeah we had a bit more snow then before, but it’s still nothin compared to the old times. BTW it’s not even cuz it wasn’t cold enough, the roads had ice on them all the time, but still no snow. X(
GORE!!!
*chunk*
Ahhh… hahahahahaHAHAHAHAAAAAAA….
Poor poor Peanut XDD
BEWARE THE YELLOW SNOW!
Snowdogs!
Nice little reference to one of the guest strips!
Love the sound effects.
first time commenting. I just read through the entire archive twice in about a week. I love this comic.
I wish I had that much snow, I’d still be asleep because school would be canceled.
you need to read the entire thing
i did that when i started reading this comic
now that i think about it i did this for every comic i read
this is the first time I’ve ever read an archive twice. then again, I usually pick up on a comic after it’s been going for too long for me to read it twice.
Don’t read housepets too much, it was like 59% of the reason I’m a furry now
how do you know I’m not already a furry?
I’m not, but you shouldn’t make assumptions.
Seriously, I used to troll furries like it was 1999, but then Rick Griffin had to come along and spoil the fun by showing me the awesomeness involved with this fine group of people.
Join us.
I have nothing against furries. I have a friend who is a furry. I just don’t think it’s for me.
“I just read through the entire archive twice in about a week. I love this comic.”
He DID read the entire thing.
why can’t WE get snow like that. We were supposed to have off school today, but we got a two hour delay instead >.<
same here.
Panels 2 and 4 = lol
Something tells me using a mould for SNOWmen just wouldn’t work.
On the flipside, what a go-getter! Already making snow angels.
Fill them with water, leave them outside, and voilá! Instant ice sculpture!
Now throw some snow onto that. What do you get?
Iunno.
You get an ice sculpture disguised as a snowman?
an ice angel!!
I was going to say “crushed ice”, bu I like your ideas better
I can´t imagine 1000 peanut snowdogs…. chaos!!!Lol
My GOD he created an ARMY!
In Soviet Russia… Snowdog army creates you? o3o
No.
chaos indeed………………………unless you saw “Ultramarines” you wont get the reference. did anyone elso watch that?
And apparently we’re getting even MORE snow on Tuesday. If you listen to NECN, that is.
Oh my goodness I couldn’t stop laughing after the last two panels because they’re awesome and hilarious and I just love this comic!!! XD
seriously I lol’d. Love this strip every day.
SNOW FOR EVERYBODY! (except florida)
HEY, I LIVE IN FLORIDA… T_T
ya that was mean i live there too
og sand angels!
i Not live in USA T.T
Didn’t it snow there in December?
no
Lol, we just got enough to cancel school up north (central Ontario)
Oh, and YES! THE SNOWDOG ARMY SHALL RISE!!!
yes it shall…. it shalll MWA HAHAHAAAAA!
SNOW DOG ARMY SHALL RISE AND BECOME, THE SUPREME BEINGS !
I’m not sure about “they” …. I know ONE person that uses a flamethrower to get rid of snow, but that’s expected of that one person, lol.

you cant copyright a word unless you make a page on the dictionarie site:p
O.o snow dogs…. it sounds fun… but i pass… the misterius snow… how is?!
If it’s snowed so much, that must’ve become all packed up and turned into ice. Which means that must’ve hurt a lot. Poor peanut.
Yes, I’m a new reader. But I’ve been through all the previous comics BEFORE I decided to start posting comments.
same here
You’re right about that. Compressed snow makes solid ice. Just curious though, unless their whole house was buried, wouldn’t at last some part stay snow?
yes the top
dew to lose of wight

Derp?
*sip*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3MAJbxVqRs thas a a video of my brother making an audition of peanut voice
Might wanna post that on the forums
Awesome!
SNOW TUNNEL TIME!!!
Awesome-sauce
WOOHOO!!!
I am in 100% !!
with that much snow, even santa would have to call in for a snow day.
Not even Rudolph can save us now!!!
…nice
…ice. XD
So… is that a faceplant?
I like molds for cookies…
I wish I was that up-n-at-’em at 6am
Or 8am for that matter
I also wish I was that fast with snarky comments like Grape
I want a mold of Peanut now…
take a bread slice, cut it into a dog-shape, and leave it out for three days
I though it be more of a poof or something not a chunk Owo? Have anyone hear anyone ran into snow and make the sound chunk?
I think the top level is more of a poof but I think after it compacts a little it makes more of a crunch or a chunk.
I like how Peanut thinks outside the box.
I’m surprised the snow didn’t pour in like sand or something when the door opened. Oh well, rule of funny
Would I be right in guessing the alt text is from The Whiteboard?
YES! =D LOL
only 999 snowdogs to go….
Alt text* “You know what I learned about snow removal? Up in the mountains they use FLAMETHROWERS to get rid of it. Yet another reason the mountains are better than the beach”
use this -gives peanut a spoon- GO MAH FELLA GO AND DIG X’D
Did he change the last panel’s dialogue?
A mold would help!
LOL That’s a furidiculous amount of snow!
Avalanche – Did I spell that right? (._.)
Oh joy, I all but spit my food all over my screen at that last panel.
Why can’t this happen to me?
Oh yeah… I live in England, the thing that happens in England is people saying the wpold will end in 2012 and Swine flu… I wanna live in Canada!
oops I said wpold, not world. I need to learn how to spell
BAM!!
Why did I just say that?
I have opened my door to that before. Scared the holy bee-jeebus out of me! It was 6:30 am and the lights were off so I wouldn’t wake my sister….The only break in the wall of white was a small hole where the handle was stuck into it. I don’t think I’ve ever shut a door more carefully in my entire life!
XD NOICE. I don’t know if this could actually happen, despite Fern’s account above me, but…hey, what do I know? I’m only from WISCONSIN…(Then again, it’s more cold there than snowy, I guess…)
Do they really use flamethrowers?
