Alt text: Yes he means fake hot chocolate stop pointing it out
Peanut doesn’t really get it
no he doesent
He’s more dense than the snow is outside! XD
at ami house if u just blow on the snow it will poof into nuthing-ness
it’s terrible fer snow ball fights TT-TT
Yeah, I know how that snow is… But with enough effort, you can make a single snowball. Still annoying though…
WHERE’S THE FB LIKE BUTTON?!
XD
It’s on Facebook.
You sir, have won the internets.
Well, it’s not all that impossible. Peanut does have a portable generator. As seen in the “Down at the Farm” arc.
ya, but it’s not very useful if you can’t get internet. :/
No power does not imply no telephone. If you have telephone, you have internet.
esspecially since the old fashioned telephones with the squigilly cord and hook directly into the wall recieve all of their power from the telephone wires, so they will still work even if the power is out.
Depends on whether their local head-end has power. Which depends on whether they’re in the outage area and how long their backup batteries or generator are good for.
Peanut DOES get it.
Only, his soul of infinite optimism won’t be smothered by lesser mundane details.
“Facts are stupid things”
“I reject you reality and substitute my own!”
*claps*
100 points to Salenstormwing
I can’t believe I had forgotten where that was from. I watch that on a regular basis.
DO YOU YET COMPREHEND?
ha!!! tunnel system did come up… and Yah Second
darn it!
hahahahahahahahahah,
i guss rick now needs to put a filter on seconders too,
as for you,
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Whadayaknow! Thoth’s right about this!
This inevitably happens in any snow event around here. *laughs*
I always thought it’d be cool to build a system of snow tunnels.
Also, Grape, y’all could still do the whole snuggling-by-the-fire thing. Unless you have an electric fireplace.
When I was little, it was my dream to have snow piled so high that I would be able to build a tunnel system. Of course, I now know that I’ll need to be up in Massachusetts or higher these days to do it. That’s where my frequent flier miles come in… ^^
Panel 3, CHILD FACE
As well as panel 2, and panel… you know what? The whole thing is frigging adorable!
*hugs comic*
You can…hug the comic!?
:-O
Why was I not told of this!?!?!
It’s an environmentalist consideration. If you hug it, it ends up all wrinkled and you have to throw it out and replace it with a new one.
wouldn’t that break the fourth wall?
as well as all of the other walls. that’s why you need to replace it.
couldnt Tarot just use her magic or something?
she had already predicted it. For all we know she’s already working on the tunnel system. :3
She is already in the house. ^_^
Psychic or not, I’d be a little worried if my girlfriend suddenly walked into the living room when I thought she was stuck at her place.
Which is why she waits until you’re about to call her!
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/03/12/the-calling/
Don’t worry Peanut’s plans always work.
SARCASM
They wouldnt be bored froxen, theyd be frozen as stif as a board
that was funnier in my head
I know the feeling… I once made a joke as an assembly MC to the entire Junior High that was funnier in my head. That silence still haunts me…
*cricket chirping*
I don’t think Peanut will make a great ambassador for the pet community
Tunnels… that might help, somehow.
That reminds me of Moscow’s metro (It’s HUGE!)
In Amerika, Housepets reminds you of Moscow Metro.
In Russia, Moscow Metro reminds you of Housepets!
…wait….
The tunnels i called it!!!
sorta…
You could use a cellphone to text Tarot and Max and watch Mobile TV. Better yet, if you had an iPhone or like device you could watch a part of your movie collection if you had it stored on the device… or, if you had a laptop you could watch DVDs if it had a disk drive… Popcorn and Hotchocolate could just be cooked over the fire! See? Peanut DOES know what he’s talking about!
Tarot can use that “hey that’s cool you can talk in my head” green-glowing-telepathy to talk to peanut.
Or to King. I think King would be the most competent tunneler in town.
How much do those batteries last again? 30 minutes?
Less depending on the phone.
I miss the days when cellphones were half battery, and were big enough for that to matter, so you could talk for hours. Today’s cellphones seem to be designed for texting only.
Well, charge it then XD
lol what
This is why livin’ in the only state with no snow is friggin’ awesome!
Panel 4 Peanut is awesome. it’s like he’s sure of himself for sure.
He looks kinda squashed, lol
…Grapsicle?
ack! Grapesickle*
No, Grapesicle is more accurate. I realize it doesn’t look right without the k, but we’re talking about icicles, not a tool used for harvesting wheat and souls.
mostly souls. i only do wheat on weekends.
No, I think it was right with sharp, pointy “sickle.”
I mean, we are talking about Grape here.
Ya know…for being powerless is a house drowning in snow…. it’s rather bright, heehee. Maybe peanut’s onto something!
I can see where Peanut’s getting with this,he wants to snuggle with Tarot while Max snuggles with Grape so that they don’t freeze
Pss…Peanut and Grape snuggling by the fire.
Much bettah!
they both sound great to me
Hm…I think I’ll side with Peanut on this one, I don’t understand. Call me naive, but if that statement meant something, it just flew over my head by half-a-mile.
On the side note, it would be interesting to see Peanut try making a tunnel system.
no power = no technology
I sell propane and propane accessories.
Propane can fuel anything, I’ll tell you that much.
I love you.
Oh god….. -_-’
You’ll need more than propane for the flux capacitor.
When I say propane can fuel anything, I mean ANYTHING.
You can trust someone who watches a propane powered TV
/Hank Hill
If you can get 1.21 gigawatts out of a tank of propane, you need to take out a patent.
How big a tank are we talking here?
The biggest tank ever was called the Maus!
Oh my lawdy I’ve always WANTED an underground tunnel system as a kid.
You know what I’m talking about. Like, you know, that incredibly uber-convenient system, where all you’d have to do was like, open your closet, make sure your parents weren’t looking, reach around a corner for a flap and pull up that trap-door, flick a light on, and strut down in.
Then you realize it would be impossible with modern plumbing and all of that, and your dreams are horribly, horribly dashed.
No? Just me? Well, give me your imagination cards, because they’re getting REVOKED.
Don’ get me started on the matter man. As a kid we were always digging holes with my cousins for a tunnel system, but we gave up after we realized it would be more work than a few 0.5 meter deep holes. XD
We were on bedrock. No tunneling there.
That’s why it’s good having a backup furnace that worrks with wood and HEY what’s the best thing if they get bored? Anyone?
…
Imaginate 3! XD
So, you can make the hot chocolate, popcorn, and start the movie and fire and see how it turns out Peanut…and remember, it’s not OUR fault you didn’t listen to a word we said…NO I’LL NOT REPEAT WHAT I JUST SAID… *sigh*
Can’t imagine how we’d take the snow over here in Cali, with it being all warm and whatnot
Cali isn’t always warm. I’ve had my car frozen over fairly recently. Live down south, don’t'cha?
I went outside to get fast food in a t-shirt and shorts last night! X3
augh! Impossible! I haven’t heard of such none-sense!!
… oh ya, southern hemispher. :/
Call me weird, but I actually enjoy the wind and cold. :3
Not even, it’s so hot today I don’t even want to wear pants.
No Peanut, that’s not the po- wait, did you just say tunnel?
And this is why I keep a collection of VHS tapes
…because VHS works when the power is out?
… touche
SO I take it they have an electric-only house?
As opposed to what?
Mmm, well, y’know.
Gas for the heater.
Propane.
I sell propane and propane accessories.
I’m haunting you.
ALL HAIL THE PROPANE KING
but If it snows unexpectedly, your supply would be cut off. THE SYSTEM CAN FAIL!
Town gas comes through pipes.
And propane comes in tanks.
Deal with it.
Okay! we get it.
Please stop spamming us with your mad propane skills.
propane is a very good fuel for burning extremely annoying propane salesmen.
There’s nothing like a forty foot propane flame to wake you up in the morning.
… what? I used to go hot-air ballooning. Whoosh!
Peanut can dig a great tunnel and get them over there lickety split
I guess you and I have both seen dog tunnels…
I was raised by Dalmatians. (Just ask them!) To cool off in hot Florida summers, they dug tunnels. Impressively long, fit-two-dogs-and several-semi-truck long tunnels.
I find that interesting to think about too. In a world with talking animals with disposable income, even if they’re treated like “kids” (or especially if they’re treated like kids) there’d be all sorts of products aimed at their allowance, like dog-safe hot chocolate.
I want to see their cat toy commercials too.
IN A WORLD where anthropomorphic animals are treated like kids and have disposable income, one company will be BOLD enough to create artificial hot chocolate!
actually, that would probably be good for humans who are allergic to chocolate, as well.
You would be surprised. Society is making all kinds of changes for companion animals. Just the other day I saw ice cream treats for dogs in the freezer section, new products are coming out all the time.
Innovation is a beautiful thing, aye?
aye
I’ve seen gourmet refrigerated food for dogs and cats at the grocery store, with pure off the bone cuts of meat and real vegetables… You know civilization is screwed when the animals eat better than their keepers….
The thing on my mind is what’s gonna happen when all of that snow melts. One word: Yikes.
That much snow is going to take a while to melt.
That’s the funny thing about snow: you only get it when it’s below freezing. And summer is not exactly around the corner (so you won’t be getting a good temperature for melting frozen things quickly for a while)
sure, but the snow is ABOVE THE DOOR. even a little at a time, that is a LOT of excess water.
Am I the only one that gets reminded of L from Deathnote because of Peanut’s expression in the last panel?
Who?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L_(Death_Note)
Peanut look different in each panel
Wait a minute, how is the light on in their house, then, if the power’s out?
Peanut’s backup generator, of course!
Or the sun is up.
that would only help if they have skylights. The windows are probably covered by as much snow as the door is.
So, they have skylights, nu?
Peanut has his own generator…
YOU GOT THE TOUCH, YOU GOT THE POWAH, YEAAAAH!!!!
*beaned with a snow-covered steamroller*
Well, the one guy nailed it on the tunnel system
Peanut is completely wrong…
They wouldn’t need to BUILD an elaborate tunnel system, they just need to ask the ferrets if they could borrow theirs…
… Oh come on, like the ferrets wouldn’t already have one by now…
They do have a tube system after all.
And the internet is a series of tubes!
http://www.tarzansferrets.com/helix.jpg
Ferrets… internet… tubes…
Argent, why are you not pointing people to this article?

Dated 01 Apr 2010?
You seemed to think it was pretty clever back when you recommended it
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/03/31/in-the-spot-light/#comment-22317
Apr 1 = April Troll’s day.
He didn’t, it was Troll-everyone-you see day.
Peanut is obviously a superior being who feels no need to grasp the concepts of energy transfer.
He instead prefers to stem the monotony wit elaborate constructs of the mind.
Actually, shouldn’t grape think about what she just said too… “Freezing and bored”?
They have fur, dogs and other animals go out in the snow for hours all the time, bored yes, but freezing? Even if they were outdoors they wouldn’t be freezing.
Sorry for pointing this out, but hey, at least I didn’t point out the fake chocolate
Everyone seems to get the fake hot chocolate joke but me…
Chocolate is dog poison, unless you get carob. People keep pointing this out whenever they have hot chocolate or things like that.
Rick has said that it’s not regular chocolate, though. For example, Joey drinks “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Chocolate” brand cocoa.
___________
I LIVE! FEAR ME!
Rick should probably put something on the front page, like a “Things to know before reading Housepets” that includes the fact that all chocolate consumed by dogs is fake and anything else he doesn’t want people to keep asking about.
Peanut knows something…..like Tarot can produce electricity or some other crazy concept.
Wow! It’s a tunnel that opens onto a system of catacombs!
These days, it’s possible. Fix the cocoa and popcorn in the fire and use a laptop for movies and IM’s.
But you need internet even if you have a laptop…
not to watch a movie, you don’t need to go online to do that
Grape: Aggravation… building up…
urge to kill… rising.
No sleep and no max make grape go crazy
No sleep and no max make grape go crazy

No sleep and no max make grape go crazy
Ill stop now
Didn’t peanut have a generator? From the farm arc.
Generator = emergencies only.
In the Peanut scale of emergencies, not being able do use a gameboy is far more of a concern than not having electric light.
Plus he has to keep it well ventilated. Every winter, people die from carbon dioxide poisoning because they keep their generators inside the house.
very good comic !
Oh Peanut. X|
You’re so cute! :S
________________________________
Yay! the tunnel system idea DID come up.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Peanut’s generator is in the car…. outside…
Just my theory.
I think there’s a lot more of the Good Ol’ Dogs Club that we know XD
Unless they use gas, have cellphones and a wireless home theater…
well first off if there is that much snow any windows on the roof would also be blocked off thus the lighting is other from a generator or is just there so you can see the comic, other that or their house is unaffected. also YES WE KNOW PEANUT HAS A GENERATOR WE GET IT, sorry but i hate hearing things repeated. propane can power anything same with gas ever hear of a gas generator? the PSP also plays movies, lets not overlook the little things guys, also they are not long coat pets thus they can freeze when you sleep your body temperature plummets. in areas where they have igloos and sled dogs the dogs will curl up together outside and sleep because their combined body warmth keeps them warm, similar to penguins. now i don’t think i missed anything, sorry if this is abit long.
good points, I forgot the skylights would be blocked, too.
Cartoons don’t always make sense.
COOL YOUR JETS BRO
Are you calling Peanut a penguin?
It’s a comic. Relax.
hm … sounds nice ima now get hot choclate stuph and curl up fireplaze!!
haha id like to see what tarot does about the snow
LOL .This reminded me a little of ‘Pinky and the Brain’.
Don’t know why.
yeah because Grape is smart like Brain and Peanut is acting li Pinky
I like how Peanut thinks.
I mean, thinking about what he wants AND how to get it?
Peanut’s portable generator should cover the needs in their house, but what about Maxwell’s? I’m not even asking about Tarot; from her position in a higher universe, she’s probably thought of something.
Tarot may be her avatar, but we’ve yet to see Tarot’s owners.
Perhaps Spirit Dragon missed a saving roll?
If it wasn’t for electricity, we’d all be watching TV by candlelight.
well, if i have no electricity here i will watch tv aswell
Personally, i don’t believe that chocolate is bad for small, carnivorous animals. I think that’s a fib perpetuated by humans so that they get to keep all the chocolate for themselves.
oh wait how he can be sure can have a power for all those things?
YOU GOT THE TOUCH, YOU GOT THE POWAH, YEAAAAH!!!!
