Cool Sabrina is back!
and she seems to be queen fan, like me (I also got all queen CDs here).
Her favorite songs:
“It’s a kind of magic” and also
“Who wants to live forever”
Not necessarily, alas! Maybe the CD she wanted to use had just been sitting in a car for a fortnight.
Oh man, I hope that’s a Good Omens Ref. It sounds like one, and makes my day.
hehe I got a few Queen on record & cassette tape
As well as I. Five months and a week, but I’ve returned. Hi ev’rybody!
Can’t remember you, but WELCOME BACK!
Welcome back again from me too.Hope you catch up with the story till tomorrow
love the collar-scarf
That place is just like I imagined it!
I’d just hate to drop a candle.
you’d disturb the balance! O_o
FIRE! FIRE EVERYWHERE!
EY! IT BURNS!!
Thus the reason why a proper temple is made of marble or some non-flammable building material… Or at least the ceremonial chambers.
You can still chant to Queen.
DUH! DUH! DUH! ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!
*stamp stamp clap* *stamp stamp clap* WE WILL, WE WILL ROCK YOU!
*head bang* So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.
Don’t… stop… me… Cuz I’m having a good time. Having a GOOD TIME!!!
There’s no stopping me!
“I’ve payed my dues, time after Tiiiiimme.
I’ve done my sentence, but commited no criiimme.
And bad mistakes, I’ve made a feeew.”
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now.
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro
Magnifico-o-o-o-o
I’m just a poor boy nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
Let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go
Let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go
Let me go (Will not let you go)
Let me go (Will not let you go) (Never, never, never, never)
Let me go, o, o, o, o
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama Mia, let me go
Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me, for me, for me!
I tink we’re getting close to having every lyric of Bohemian rhapsody on this page.
*headbang*
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
and just so we don’t get past this comment without every lyric of Bohemian Rhapsody being posted:
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I’m just a poor boy (Poor boy)
I need no sympathy
Because I’m easy come, easy go
Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn’t really matter to me, to me
Mama just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
Mama, life has just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh
Didn’t mean to make you cry
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body’s aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody
I’ve got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, oooooooh (Anyway the wind blows)
I don’t want to die
Sometimes wish I’d never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro
Magnifico-o-o-o-o
I’m just a poor boy nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
Let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go
Let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go
Let me go (Will not let you go)
Let me go (Will not let you go) (Never, never, never, never)
Let me go, o, o, o, o
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama Mia, let me go
Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me, for me, for me!
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
I meant past this comic.
Just…. Just…. Just give up….
I was getting annoyed that we were skipping around and skipping single lines, so I just posted the whole thing.
How come I was listening to Bohemian Rhapsody when I read this?
The “Best of Queen” was an awesome CD… Don’t see why Sabrina is complaining
I can’t see how she can complain either.
I don’t think its her complaining so much as saying “I put Queen in by accident and its all we’ve been listening to since cause its awesome.”
Probably tarot didnt like chanting with queens ?
Terry Pratchett. Good Omens: “Crowley was currently doing 110 mph somewhere east of Slough. Nothing about him looked particularly demonic, at least by classical standards. No horns, no wings. Admittedly he was listening to a Best of Queen tape, but no conclusions should be drawn from this because all tapes left in a car for more than about a fortnight metamorphose into Best of Queen albums.”
Squee! I knew that was a Good Omen’s reference! <3
Thank you very much for that~ That is probably my favorite book~ (and below: Psh, who wouldn't want to summon Crowley! Especially if there is a chance if Aziraphale might pop up if he's pulling a favor for the old snake =3)
Guess Queen is too beautiful for dark magic.
Too powerful. They’re likely to summon Crowley.
used to be all you had to do to summon Crowley was bury a box at a cross roads. now he’s gotten all low and mighty and you need queen to get him up here.
for the record, I’m referring to the Crowley in Supernatural, who is now pretty much king of hell.
The question is if you still need to give him a kiss or not when you are able to summon him…>3
I think he makes the rules now, so whatever he wants.
Yay for candles
Sabrina in panel 1 and 4 almost look alike
Copy and paste?
Never! Rick-sama is too awesome to do such a thing!
Nope. Look closely at the little details, like the ears. Though the shading could be easily changed, it’s not quite the same.
Line thickness is the same.
If he had cut/pasted, panel 1 would have thicker outlines.
Not necessarily; a good art program should let you adjust the line thickness after the fact. And at any rate, her body’s angle is different, so I think it’s pretty much moot
She seems to do that face a lot. Just click her tag to see what I mean.
Am I the only one who thought Sabrina was seducing Peanut in the first panel?
Probably
*does his usual thing* :3
Liiiiight ;3
A rather DYNAMIC ENTRANCE into the thread, wouldn’t you say?
-_- Light, that’s just sad.
I don’t get it.
Light joked about shipping Sabrina and Peanut together…it WAS a joke, right, Light?
if it wasn’t, Fido and Tarot will gang up on him. She can most likely transcend the boundary between our universes.
Sabrina wont dare to seduce Peanut, else she might get a mind-slap by Tarot
Nice Avie man.
Only the best
lol Queen rules and Yay Sabrina
QUEEN!!!
This is for the Champions, my friend!
We will keep reading till the end!
…
Queen is just awesome, like The Beetles, ACDC, Guns N’ Roses, Weird Al Yankovic etc…
And that’s a creepy room, if you ask me
You get +10 internetz for summing up my opinion about this webcomic in two edited song verses.
Come to think of it… replace “my opinion” with “the opinion of every reader with good taste”.
Thankyou everyone for the welcoms, and hi ( for previous comic posts ), im from a country… eeeh… a retarded country named Moldova ( imma move from here when im 18 )
hah..dude,i’m just the same way as you.I’m also from retarded country – Bulgaria and i too want to move somewhere else when i’m 18 (1 more year).What a coincidence a?
Looks like I am not the only one… Good!
i suppose your a russian ?
Niet, I’m Mexican.
oh okay, even if i live in moldova my main language is russian lol
I live in a retarded country too-the USA
retarded or not i wanna live there o3o
Try Canada eh?
oh.. I actually was thinking of it x3 but USA is cool too
USA is full of fat people. and we’re okay with it.
Im ok with fat people, they are… whats the word.. comish, fun, ? :/ lol
That, and because of the huge partism (someone check my spelling) with Republicans and Democrats, nothing gets done with any efficiency on capital hill
“Capitol Hill”
You know that white building with its dome on stilts? It’s called the Capitol.
Sorry, Spelling nazi moment.
You know who else was a spelling nazi? Hit… wait… nevermind.
well, Hitler did write a book, so I’m sure he spelled a good many words.
Hitler dictated his books (two I believe) and someone else typed them for him. So that someone spelled a good many words.
I stand corrected, then. He may not have been a Nazi who spelled.
If the typist was female, we can be sure he miss-spelled!
he started dictating in prison, so I doubt it. also, have we actually missed a chance for a dictating dictator joke?
You know. I totally missed that chance. Skipped joyfully past me.
I almost did too, until I typed that he started dictating.
I’m from Jamaica. If I could move to Querétaro, I would.
Canada!!!
Where abouts Manix?
yep, 1 more year + a couple of days for me ( b-day hint lol )… And bulgaria isnt retarded, at least its known xD im sure no one heard of moldova, its such a small country
Correction..Bulgaria may be known,but you have no idea what misery it is.I don’t want to begin explaining it because it would take all morning and i need some shut eye.And btw..I HAVE herd of Moldova
>:O you did ? Okay but 1 person is not much… And moldova’s in misery too if you ask me xD
Ok,if you say so.So we live in misery,who cares..2 more years and it’s goodbye misery
.But it’s good to see someone else that wakes up in 8 am to see the new comic 
correction …1 more year..my mistake :X
yea x3
Where are you from then ? Wait, would be great if everyone post where are they from ? x3
Yeah it would be great.Hopefully the others live somewhere more Un-miserable
soo you didnt say where are you from xD
Bulgaria – Varna xD
Oh yea.. im still sleepy so i forgot ( actually missunderstood but nvm ) so sorry xD
no problem..i’m also a bit on the sleepy side..when i wake up i just can’t fall asleep after a while..quite a bummer if you ask me :X
No country is not miserable I don’t know if you know, but the world economy has been taking a down turn since 2009
Тест – chirillic test
make it Cyrillic
I’ve heard of it, but I keep wanting to spell it with an “I” as “moldovia”.
if in russian, it’ll be “moldavia”, so your close enough xP
Apparently you can’t enter comments in Cyrillic.
we can’t or not allowed to?
When I tried it just refreshed the page without posting anything.
i misplaced the test, its a bit higher. Well chirillic works
Weird. I guess I’m not leet enough.
I don’t allow comments in Cyrillic because there was a rash of russian spam a while back, and it seemed the easiest thing to do
それは、それを説明する！
lol, russians attacking HP …. IM NOT EVIL D:
@ Argent
マジ？ (T_T)
はい！
やれやれ
Google Translate lets me be a barbarian in many languages!
Ah.
just wait a second? you are bulgarian? god bless i am not the only one! And for christ sake, don’t you DARE to call our beloved country RETARDED! (sorry, bit of a weak spot)
Besides, we are the most UNIQUE people in Europe, sadly in both means of it, yet we are here from more than 1300 years. yet i think i know why you call our country like that – the politics are quite a mob, anyways i don’t know if you are aware but our historical monuments + nature beauties, if managed at they best, are able to put all of Europe’s best in the pocket. (well i don’t mean insult to anyone at all, yet that is true – for example we have the oldest gold trinkets in the known world)
ok i know that this maybe boring and insulting for some people but well, just had to say it (i know i am a new guy and all, being yapping some stuff that probably no one cares about, but still i hope you guys to get my point)
Bulgarians invading HousePets, OH MY GOOOOOOO- thats cool
Ok,I admit that i overreacted with the “retard” thing,but still Bulgaria has sum “pluses”,but there are still many things that need to change.They said on national news that we are the second worst country in Europe…Maby we are second because of the oldest golden artifacts that my friend was speking about..I don’t know….
was moldova in that list ? XD
Don’t know
,do you want it to be in the list xD
not that i want or no but im pretty sure moldova should be there xD
COOL.. Hey “A New Housepets! fan” if you really from bulgaria (and i sertanly hope so) where do you live,i mean in which town (pls tell me it’s Varna),because i also tought that i’m the only one in Bulgaria that knows the wonders of Housepets
IT is Varna
suspect you are WoW fan too?
you read my mind
(got a skype or something) 
Well hello there and welcome to the club of people who want to leave their retarded country. In my case it’ Madagascar but… if I wanted to leave when tuning 18, I’m over eight years late now. SOMEBODY GET ME OUTTA HERE!
if i had a privet airplane i’d get ya out of there
Madagascar has the coolest animals.
This.
Isn’t that like the only African country without civil unrest?
I think i heard this somewhere, but i’m pretty sure the entire island is also being clear cut to make way for resorts…or something like that…
*sigh*
and this suprises you?
HA, my country is worst.
I live in Brazil
I don’t really think so, Mexico is one of the 6 most violent countries in the world… how sad.
Richard Feynman liked Brazil, so it can’t be all bad.
Dudes…are we really trying to make a competition about who’s country is worse? Really?
I live in Texas. That’s like a whole other country.
and some wish to make it official.
Actually, Texas was a country… like for 10 years.
Lights please?
Eeeeeeeeeee~*…
(did, did I almost just type that? wow)
Oh my goodness, Is that a Good Omens reference I see there?
Why yes, yes it is
Yes!
Queen song? (I’m horribly ignorant of Queen. All I know is “Don’t Stop Me Now” is one of the best feel-good songs of all time.)
(And the obvious stuff.)

Oh, here’s a longer excerpt: http://www.harpercollins.com/features/pratchettbooks/excerpt.aspx?isbn=9780060853969
Alt text plz!!!
Don’t worry, we’re not making PACTS… we’ve been asking them to fill out surveys
Thanks!
Hi sorry to sidetrack (if I’m using that right here) but I didn’ get to reply to your reply:
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2011/01/28/digging-a-hole/#comment-60366
So yeah it’s the country… don’ know anythig else named Hungary BTW. XD
Speaking of Tarot, where is that cute little psychic pomeranian?
Probably speaking with someone in an other dimension.
Or a restroom break.
she probably forsaw herself getting stuck in snow trying to reach peanut so she just stayed home to enjoy her hot cup of I Can Believe It’s not Chocolate. :3
This
I’m going to second Netherwolf on this one
10x dude
Off panel, duh. Being so allows Sabrina and Peanut to meet face-to-face for the first time in the comic.
I hardly think it’s the first time. First of all, she knows Grape, and they’ve probably been hanging out and gossiping about Max. Also, she isn’t exactly a new cat, and the characters all knew each other before the comic started (that sounds weird, but you know what I mean).
he said “in the comic” which implies that any time they’ve met before has been off panel.
Go alchemy circles!
Not an alchemy circle
Oh isn’t it?
You obviously don’t watch THE ANIMES.
Actually. The pentagram is a fairly common symbol in a lot of practices, Five points representing the elements and either contained in or breaking free from a containing circle.
FullMetal alchemist ftw ? x3
Thats a good one
Yup.
Also, Dresden files: your source for psuedo-plausible magic systems. Because it’s magic, how plausible does it have to be?
Of course, those are books. Not THE ANIMES. If there is a god, let them never be THE ANIMES; instead, they need to make a gritty animated movie using younger Clint Eastwood as a model for the main character.
This is my dream.
“This dark chanting CD has been passed down in my family for generations!”
there was a short lived Dresden files TV show. the American was played by a British guy and the British guy was played by an American.
I am sad that I will never be able to watch this show, for it can never live up to my expectations.
Dresden played by a Brit? Who is the British guy being played by an American?
guess he wasn’t really British, he was just played with a British accent like most people in the media. It was Bob.
but I think it was only a slight accent.
they’re called transmutation circles, and I’m pretty sure most of them are more complex than a simple pentagram.
not most of them – ALL of them, and this isn’t transmutation circle, them circles don’t have candles.
true.
I wonder if they have a pentagram in the oven again.
well there’s no power so it’s probably just sitting there… cold… :/
That’s why they used actual fire.
Or, the pentagram generates its own heat.
Maybe it’s a gas oven?
Still need a spark to start it…..unless they have matches.
Pilot light.
Interesting house, I’d visit. It’s good to see Sabrina again.
For those browsing via mobile devices or otherwise unable to see the alt text: “Don’t worry, we’re not making PACTS . . . we’ve been asking them to fill out surveys”
Thankyou, it’d be nice to see the alt text in every strip comic ( 8 hour difference between the comic time and me, which means its morning here xD )
You lucky dog
…er… cat…er…
cat xD
QUEEN!!! Oh joy!
Not a lot of snowing in being done here. Max, Bino, and Peanut getting outside and whatnot.
Max and Bino were thrown out a window with shovels to work off their excess energy (or else they live higher on the hill and had less snow in the yard….), and Peanut dug a tunnel to Tarot’s as he said he would do many strips back.
and if peanut is out, so is grape… And i thought grape and peanut would have their time alone in this arc :I
I assumed the police wear digging pathways.
is that a new clothing brand?
Haha, thats funny. I think he meant ”were”
I know, I just enjoy being annoying.
New designer brand; Ah-La “Digging Pathways”
Lol!!!
tunneling through the fashion world.
You guys are evil
The snow-plow has already passed; the streets are free
Heheheheh…..Made me laugh
…..
CRUD NOW QUEENS STUCK IN MY HEAD!
>.<
They will, they will, rock you.
We are the champions, my friend…
Born to be Kings, Princes of the Universe…
♪She’s a lover ohhh ohh a little girl♪
“Walkin’ down the street shootin’ people that I meet with a rubber Tommy water gun…”
Is this the real life? is this just fantasy? caught in a landslide no escape from reality.
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go-o
No I will not let you go!
Im just a poor boy, no one ever loved me
he’s just a poor boy from a poor family. spare him his life from this monstrosity.
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy.
Because I’m easy come, easy go, little high, little low.
Any way the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me.
MAMAAAA. ooOOOOOoooo. didn”t mean to make you cry. If I’m not back again this time tomorrow.
are we going to find a way to incorrperate song lyrics into EVERY strip?!?!?! not that im complaining
I hope so, this is fun.
the only problem is sooner or latter im going to make an oldies reference and no one will get it
try us. we might get it.
we will see. but since a band is actually mentioned, it would be weird to reference a different group.
yes, it would. try us the next chance you get.
*quest accepted*…..wait! did i just type that?….*yes i did*…. hey! get out its my turn!
That house is scary
I don’t even know if we want to know what their owner does for a living.
He is a WIZARD.
OBVIOUSLY.
Doesn’t mickey work for him? 030
Why would a magical dragon have an owner ? xD
She made a bargain with the Wizard. She poses as his pet, and he gives her a decent cover story. In exchange, he gets to brag to all his Wizard-buddies about his pet dragon when they go out for Wizard-drinks at the Wizard-soda-shop
well thats more LOGICAL… hehe… logical magic…. did i say that ?
Tarot’s not the dragon, she’s just her avatar. Just like how King isn’t Pete.
king wasn’t even an actual avatar, as Pete never actually took control of his body.
tarot IS the dragon :I lemme find the strip …
there: http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/07/05/this-is-my-tsk-tsk-face-2/
yes, she is. However, I think that she was a separate being who gave herself over to becoming the spirit dragon. somewhat like multiple personalities, only with transformation.
I don’t see why they can’t chant with the Best of Queen. Just sitting around the pentagram and sing with Freddie Mercury.
Cuz Queen is too awesome to be dark?
if someone has to be dark that is lordi
Gosh pagan phsycics freak me out.
You now realize that “pagan” means “non-Christian” and was originally a word for “villager”. Also “infidel” was first used as a slur against non-Christians during the Crusades.
Because knowing is half the battle.
Barbarian!
Does that mean “bearded”, “red-bearded”, or just “someone who isn’t Roman or Greek”?
What makes you think Romans aren’t barbarian?
No, it was the Latin way of making fun of their speech; to them, the germanics and gauls sounded like they were saying “bar bar bar”, so they were known as Barbarians
Greek. It was first used by Homer* to mean “someone who doesn’t speak Greek well”, well before there was a Rome. By the time the Romans arrived in Greece and started copying them, it had mutated to mean “anyone who isn’t a Greek” and sometimes “everyone who isn’t from MY city-state”. Particularly those tossers from Sparta.
* Don’t give me a hard time about ‘Homer didn’t really exist’, you know what I mean….
Oh that’s right, my mistake
These days, it seems Muslims and Christians use the word “infidel” at each other. I would guess it means “one not of the faith”.
hey, there are three main branches of Christians – Eastern, Catholics and Protestants (ok i don’t know exactly how it is written) and ever since the “Holy Crusades” they are acting differently to Muslims (OK just turned into lector … again)
Eastern, Catholics, Protestants, and Anglicans.
Anglicanism is actually considered a branch of protestantism, as are Methodists, Baptists, Lutherans, and a few others.
Whether Anglicanism is more Protestant or Catholic is widely debated by Protestants, Catholics, and Anglicans. Strictly speaking, the term Protestant should be restricted to the churches that resulted from the movement started by Luther’s 95 theses… whereas Anglicanism is more “the King of England had a hissy fit”.
or more accurately, the King wanted a son, so he had to trade in his hag for a younger model.
Well, he thought he did, but as it turns out he was mistaken *. Regardless, Henry VIII wasn’t in any sense a reformer, had no objection to Catholic doctrine, and in fact disagreed violently with Luther. It was all politics.
Anglicanism is more “Catholic Light”. Great taste, less filling.
* So I guess Papal Infallibility didn’t rub off on him.
Note to self: NEVER (and i mean EVER!) speak of religion in HP-s!
It’s not like we’re actually debating the doctrines and beliefs of religion, we’re just discussing the organization of said religion. No opinions, just facts.
Heck, we didn’t even start on Arianism and Nestorianism and their modern spinoffs like the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
and we’re mainly sticking to Christianity, leaving out Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Confucianism, Shintoism, Judaism, and any other religion I’ve neglected to mention.
You neglected to mention Islam!
Follow the path of our replies. Islam has been mentioned.
Context fail. Never mind.
How about Scientology?
I refuse to acknowledge that as a real religion, but even if I accepted it, I said “and any other religion I’ve neglected to mention,” which is inclusive.
“pagan” simply means “without gods” (as in “that thing you’re worshipping? Yeah, they don’t count”) and this irks me to no end
I second this.
In an occult enough setting, every CD turns into the Best of Queen within a fortnight.
I don’t often actually laugh at things I read on the web anymore; mostly I just crack a smile.
I done guffawed.
I would have thought they would turn into Their Satanic Majesties Request.
“Allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste…”
Odd, I thought they turned into Voltaire. :3
Mistake.
Riiiiiiiiiiight. ^.~
I keep thinking he’s wearing the Spot (Superdog) cape in panel 3
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for meeeeee……..
for meeeee………
Is this the real life?
or is this just fantasy?
caught in a land slide
no escape from reality.
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
Any music left in a CD-player for more than about a fortnight metamorphoses into a “Best of Queen” album – to paraphrase Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
If I went over a girls house and saw that I’d either be thinking one of two things.
1.”oh my god Oh my god this girl s scary must escape relationship.”
2″I have found the best girl EVER!”
i’d pick the second xP
second too, yet with some holy stuff
“Holy symbols? …check”

kind of thinkin’ of http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/10/06/aint-aint-a-word/
I’ll take the second thought,without second thoughts
That… devil’s star. We are going to die! ;o
Pentagram.
No it’s the devil’s star! (A) xD
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagram
Arg i know! x3
read the article again, this one is in a circle, so it’s a pentacle.
Picky picky. Now we just need to get King in the picture:
The King of Pentacles is the card of worldly success, ultimate fulfilment, material satisfaction, and high ambition. He sits upon a throne decorated with carvings of bulls and vines and his robe is covered with embroidered grapevines rich with fruit. At his feet and all around him are vines, flowers, and plants of all sorts, representing the highest attainment of material success. In his right hand he holds the sceptre of his power and in his left he holds a golden coin, symbolic of his material influence. Behind him is his castle, the symbol of all he has built through his efforts and determination.
it’s also called a “joke”, argent. you might want to look that up one day.
lol i’ve spent my whole school-day sitting here and posting/replying. Best school day ever
i would do that, but i actually care about my future
my school blocks the comments.
Changed my name because NeX is used a lot in the internet :I found this out yesterday
Ya made a new gravatar acc or there’s a way to change the name? :O
Sabrina is x-tra cute today! Darkness so becomes her!
I love queen! their songs had weird lyrics, but that made them COOLER!
Run peanut don’t be a virgin sacrifice
what?
Peanut wears a veil and a dress and proclaims the glory of The Lord?
CORRECT!! You win -2 internets!
As i said somewhere above (or below?) Sabrina wont dare to do something bad to Peanut, else she will get mind-slap(or punch) from Tarot.
They’ve been making them fill out surveys? That’s totally worst than packs! Those fuzzy fiends!
Hey guys, how’s it going today?
… anyways
… well don’t answer that
that pentagram scares me … wait just a second! WHAT are they going to summon? Pete? Or that n-tailed fox?
Peanut, i hope Tarot was prepared for your arrival, else this would be bad! (sorry, fear of the pentagram is appearing again)
I think that pentagram is always there.. you know… just in case
ALWAYS!!!!!!!
*sip*
ALWAYS!!!!!
kinda think of it (sorry if i made a typo) there’s nothing to worry about. Since Tarot/Spirit dragon is in love with Peanut i bet she wont let anyone to do something to him
Just go with the flow and enjoy the satanic ritual.
the multi-tailed fox is known as great Kitsune according to the tags.
UGH!! you just reminded me of where i found this comic!!
Why UGH?
i found out about it while on a site that I cant mention because kids might be commenting
you literally can’t mention it. The mods won’t let you.
well no, i could, but i dont want to screw up the lives of any kids reading this. try googling “housepets” and see what else it suggests for a search
I like the candle light hilighting Sabrina’s face and neck.
Holding a satanic ritual to 80’s rock I see.
I still can’t believe we had 167 comments when it was only 9:30 EST
Ugg, the pentagram gets labeled under satanic again……what a world.
And suddenly, 1,000 little kids struggling to “get their stars to come out right” freeze in horror
That’s what I thought when I was little! I had been drawing them for years.
I still draw them
it’s only satanic when drawn on the floor or wall in the blood of some innocent animal. I also believe it needs to be drawn within a circle to be a true pentagram, otherwise it’s just a star.
nope, the circle one is a pentacle. I think that’s the only one that’s satanic.
It’s not effective unless it’s on the wall. Demons hate showing up on their backs. (see Niven’s short story Convergent Series).
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrr HEART ATTACK
Yay Tarot’s back! Well…sort of.
Is this the start of a new story arc?
no, it’s a continuation of the snow arc.
Blarg… too… many… comments… what I get for not getting out of bed until 11:30am EST on a P.A. day…
By the way, listening to the song Preliator (or is that Prediator?) by Globus, I can just think of an awesome video montage of Sabrina summoning something to it.
Seriously. Go check out Preliator (Prediator works too) by Globus. You’ll see what I mean.
P.A. day?
Also, is that Florence?
Hearing Freddy Mercury singing in the middle of a pitch black room would be really creepy…
I think the spirits would be too busy rocking out to one of Queen’s songs to listen to them. X3;
And they’d BETTER just be making them do surveys…*nervous shuffle*
i know there is no snow in this one, but this arc is (hopfully) going to be me this Wed.
I just need one to two more snowdays to push the teacher workday to Friday/Monday so I can get a three day weekend after mid-terms.
good for you. i wish it snowed here in LA. my 65 yr old dad said there was snow here when he was 3
yeah, I would hate to live there. but apparently, if there’s a snow day, the workday stays on Thursday, the extra exams get canceled.
ya but snowdays for you are like 2in.
true. that or Ice.
ha! ice! dont make me laugh! we got almost belowe zero out here in Chicagoland and it was just another day, no school cancelations or anything. by the way, i remember hearing somewhere that on of the highways going in and out of Chicago are on the worlds deadlest roads because of all tha black ice that forms EVERY year.
Which is why I’m glad I live in VA.
ya but some dont like it hot. I was in that area for the BSA National Jamboree last summer and it almost killed me
agreed. That’s why (other than marching band) I don’t go out during the summer that much.
The spirits will file surveys? O.O
Some random dude played Queen on his speakers in my classroom today,
then cut it off half way.
judging by Sabrina’s face in the final panel, i’m not sure “best of queen” was a mistake…
Maybe it’s just the darkness and candles everywhere clouding my judgement, but Sabrina and Tarot live in a HUGE house.
Who do they even live with???
OOOOoooOOOOoooOO?!
well, they live with people, but nobody lives with them.
Innuendo, the best song for rituals, blackouts or just let your body feel somewhere else
For those who thinks/thought that in panel one that Sabrina looked like she was attempting to seduce Peanut…Just remember that Sabrina is Fido’s secret girlfriend…By the way just because she is secretly dating Fido doesn’t mean she is into every male dog that walks within her proximity…Besides Tarot/Spirit Dragon would inpart her wrath upon Sabrina for such a breach in their friendship and/or apprenticeship agreement.
well she is a cat, so she kind of makes that mischivous (some one check my spelling) face that could be confused for a seuductive one. look at Max’s 2 strips back
Oh no, Max was seducing Bino!!!
also, it’s mischievous.
thanks, im actually on a computer instead of my iPhone so i dont get spell check
I get the whole mischevious look…I had read earlier on this comment page that someone had thought that Sabrina looked like she was attempting to seduce Peanut…Though anyone who has been viewing this series knows that would be bad form for her to even think of doing such a thing.
Fido (boyfriend) and Maxwell (ex-boyfriend) notwithstanding, she’s not even particularly flirtatious beyond her usual personality. Your observation sounds pretty spot-on.
I will get annoying for constantly write that, but i will say it again – Sabrina will never try to seduce Peanut as Hoheh said cause of Fido (boyfriend) and cause of Tarot (her teacher), who will do nothing less than mind-slap(punch) Sabrina if she tries to.
Queen must be too catchy for proper concentration.
Everyone seems to be talking about queen now!?!? It is a great band though, one of the best.
Hey, guys, how are you today? (don’t answer that please
)
i just happen to find an interesting video of Housepets! at one of our country Youtube-looking sites. It seems a bit old and it has a lot of fanmade stuff. SOME might not be able to see it, but to those that can – hope they enjoy it (will try to find it in youtube too). Hope Rick wont be mad. Here it is : http://www.vbox7.com/play:2864e20a.
okay skip the dot in the end
okay dont know about you guys but when i looked at MOST of the HP videos in youtube i’ve blushed (at some point)!
anyways there is another one that actually was following he comic, but is little sad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvRcESGHh2g&feature=related
and btw..this is also a really cool clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxMa-rlZA58&feature=related .Wish i could make stuff like this
i Like the first panel, the face of SAbrina and Peanut is so awesome, i have 2 questions:
first one: Where is TArot??? i don’t get it if she is a physic she kwon that peanut is looking her??’
second one: What song from Queen is? i expected that could be bohemian rhapsody
I LOVE THAT SONG
Track list for “Best of Queen”:
Heaven For Everyone
We Will Rock You
A Kind Of Magic

I Want To Break Free
Friends Will Be Friends
We Are The Champions
Don’t Stop Me Now
Innuendo
Bicycle Race

The Show Must Go On
Got a bit late again, but here I am. XD
This strip looks great(it’s minimalistic yeah, but the lighting and the atmosphere is just great :3), but I can’t get over the fact that it freaking creeps me out! XP
I never cared much for Queen although I like some of his music nor did I ever hear abour that Good Omen book(I guess it’s a book) so I couldn’t get it on my own, but after reading the comments it’s cool. This is why I love reading almost the whole list of comments… even if it gets sidetracked to religion sometimes. X3
LOLZ thats ONE way to have lighting all round XD
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! Now I’m sad! I’ve been reading the comics since three days ago, and now I’m all caught up! Now I haz 2 wait… D-: but too funny lolz. Tarrot is so creepy and yet funny… Reminds me of this girl at my school… O.e now THAT is weird… She seems just like this girl at school, creepy, and can tell fortunes that usually cone true… e.O
read through the archives again. It’s what I did my first time catching up.
I second that thought.
Haha I love how Peanut always has a huge smile on his face like in Panel 1
WHAT!?!?!?! no new strip for Wed.!?!?! depending on where Rick lives, he might have gotten hit by the blizzard thats currently battering my house
gravatar check
ok why wont it work?
hey!! now it works!!! and i dont think anyone else has used this! (please correct me if im wrong)
