Whoa at third panel!
absolutely, I didn’t recognize the cub at first
For a minute I thought he was one of Peanut’s super villains brought to life by Zach’s chosen one powers.
…what? It could happen!
He is the Opener of Ways! You are thinking of Tarot.
I dont even think tarrot could think this up
its way to unpredicatable
Oh God Miles, where did you go wrong :S
Oh man, the cubs. Amazing name as well!
good choice changing it
Wanna bet Peanut is their second in command? I mean, he knows the wolf pups the best out of all the dogs.
Naw, if they’re taking his advice, he’s probably oblivious to it all.
“See, in this situation, it would probably be best to let your pawn be captured”
“JOEY! PREPARE TO BE CAPURED!”
“Aw, why do I always have to be the pawn?”
I’m not that surprised if Peanut do turn out to be the second in command.
I mean, I didn’t even see the cubs coming XD
King is either the eminence behind the throne, or curled up in his bed, catatonic.
I bet he’s the one who brought Bino in for questioning!
Naw, I bet Peanut will be the cub’s cavalry horse. I can just see all the cubs charging into battle on their trusty steeds… well, a few trusted, and a few not so happy with it. LOL
I love the eye patch XD
I saw him as Big Boss for some reason lol! xD
Aye, same here.
Didn’t see that coming, but makes a lot of sense
lol no one could have predicted this.
Also I wonder how he even became leader of the dogs in the first place?
It’s the ice cream, I tells ya! It makes animals do CRAZY things…
He’s a wolf. Wolves are cool.
Oh my, Dog team’s boss was him…
I just LOL
THE WOLF CUBS, I should have known
I want to be named Rockstar Hawk.
I wish I was Shadow McClain, awesome name
Really? I’d prefer it if my last name was “President”
Wake-up calls would go: “Good morning, Mr. President.”
I’ll stick with Argent Stormwind.
So unvillain-like. psh…
To be a real villain, you have to laugh like this!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAGH-*KOFFKOFFKOFF*AGH*GAG**KOFFFFFF*
*wheezing slightly* ok, maybe not…
to be a real villain you must have a pet cat but in this world that would be strange
I bet Grape would love that job!
Maybe Joey?
Would that be too strange?
That’s for the old Russian supervillian with pneumonia.
to be a real villain you need to have some ridiculous backstory (possibly involving your parents) and a needlessly overcomplicated plan that is doomed to fail in the end.
I thinnk youve been watching to much finneus and ferb
Keep reading, you’ll see more
To be a true super villain, you need sidekicks that would make much better villains than yourself. Oh wait, he does.
To be a real villain, you have to have incredible super powers, rediculous hair, and a hatred toward heroes. If that doesn’t work, then just sign up for a Final Fantasy game and come in at the last minute like in FFIX.
To be a supervillan, you need to plot something completely redundant only to have it backfire and release your archnemesis who you temporarily captured so they can foil your evil plan.
I shall SET FIRE TO THE SUN, MWAAHAAHAAHAA
You gets it
oh yeah, well I’LL FREEZE THE NORTH POLE!!!
Challange accepted, I SHALL FLOOD THE OCEAN AND DROWN THE FISHIEZ
I shall top that by doing absolutely nothing!
(I already own the world anyway)
Do Nothing Day!
I SHALL FILL THE EARTH’S CORE WITH MAGMA!!!
Well I shall BURY THE DINOSAURS!!!
Then I shall SUCK ALL THE AIR OUT OF OUTER SPACE
And GLUE ALL THE PENGUINS TO THE GROUND SO THEY CAN’T FLY
I’LL MAKE SANTA NEVER BORN!!!
I will STRETCH THE NECKS OF ALL THE GIRAFES
WE HAVE A WINNER
I’LL MAKE CHUCK NORRIS INVINCIBLE!!!
Disqualified due to lack of evilness, sorry. You do get one chance to redeem yourself
I WILL SINK THE TITANIC
*raises Legions arm* We have a WINNER.
I WILL SURGICALLY REMOVE THE BRAINS FROM ALL THE POLITICIANS!
Depending on which Region you’re Overlording in, you may be as late as 20 years for that, give or take.
If I were a villian, I’D START MANIFACTURING LAWN GNOMES. No, that’s not really evil, but chances are the True Hero (TM) will come up with a sensible excuse for why I’m doing that and how that’s gonna help my taking over the world, so why bother?
You win this handy little device that will make random lightning and violin music come from… actually… I don’t… know… where from exactly…
Well, anyways, they will now show up in the background every dramatic moment you make.
Interesting, I SHALL USE IT WHILST TESTING MY TESTLA COILS. For extra redundancy, I will also PLAY THE VIOLIN
But sir Super Villian Legion, That’s not a Violin but an ordinary chello.
Curses, my nemesis has replaced my violin. I should not have trapped him in that electric release metal cage
rofl all the above is so true
Guys, if you really want to carry on with this, it’s best to do it in the fourms. Not in the comic comment section.
We all wondered who was the leader of the dog team, did anybody see this coming
Rick did
well that’s not even remotely fair he writes the story
Sometimes I don’t see it coming when I write a story… (hee-hee)
Honestly….I was thinking Fido all the way.
fido wouldn’t have allowed his beloved brother to be hanged in the dungeon, nossir
but it was Bino, not Joey.
Bino, Fido, and Joey are all brothers
Ya, but harming Bino isn’t grounds for expulsion. Harming Joey probably is. Though, I don’t think Joey is a member of the club.
Joey should be classified as member of the club, since he’s family. He’s been seen hanging out with Bino and his regulars in the ‘cat cail’ arc.
Fido has proven to be loyal to Bino in severe bullying acts, thus if Fido was in command of the dogs team, he probably wouldn’t allow Bino to be prisoner in the dungeon.
True enough.
The mystery has finally been solved…….
RUN FOR COVER!!!!
really? l:( that’s just… i don’t even know what to call that.
I just realized that in the last panel, “rockstar hawk” is standing on some sort of pedestal. Maybe his new name is to compensate for the shortness.
Ah, Napolion complex, thy name is Rockstar Hawk…
Sweet googley moogley!
Do Boris and Yettsin work for every short psychopath with something shiny?
Why does Rockstar Hawk remind me of the nazis?
How can Zach tell ANY of the wolf cubs apart?
Are the ferrets somehow behind this?
All these questions and less will be answered:
NEXT TIME on HOUSEPETS: The Great Water Balloon War
And now for a commercial break…
*Proctlocotamine ad plays*
and looking back, the cubs have different eye colors. that’s how you tell them apart. Rockstar Hawk/ Space Laser = brown, Deathax = yellowish, and the third one = blue.
I think the third one is unofficially “Darth Vader Sanchez.” Still very funny, oh those cubs.
Do you find yourself lacking in water baloon fights? Do you wish you had something huge to compensate for your cowardness? Well look know further, for Max’s trademarked Nuclear Water Baloon can take out all of your mortal enemies! Yes, and if you order right now, we’ll double the offer and give you TWO Nuclear Water Baloons for the price of one! A twenty dollar value yours for only $19.99! (Plus processing, handling, lawsuits and your water bill after filling the darned thing.)
Once you order your Nuclear Water Balloons, You’ll need something super special awesome. (Yes, that was a YGOA reference, but not what the link’s about.)

nigahiga = win
To answer one question, #4: HP-world rabbits are probably really good at predator identification.
Only two words can show my reaction to this:
HOLY. FRIG.
But I don’t have an eyepatch, mr. H…
You can cover one eye with your hand, but it’ll be like talking with a lisp
I have a pet cat to caress in a sinister fashion, will it do?
I suppose that sounds and slmles just about right.
To quote another animated canine, “I would not have predicted this…”
Road Rovers.
I really miss that show.
get in line, weird boy
Haha, yeah, I wish it hadn’t been cancelled so early.
This arc has been great with the unexpected so far, I’m excited to see where it goes.
Rick Griffin = MASTER of the unexpected.
nah thats gainax
Fell out of bed feelnig down. This has brightened my day!
*cues the Airwolf theme*
Followed by StarFox theme song…
We need Starwolf for this one.
Well, of course. They are facing Wolf here.
(ain’t I a stinker.)
BTW It’s StarFOX, um, isn’t it?
StarWolfs is fox’s enemy -cue theme-
sorry… i didn’t know… I only knows him from SSB Brawl as Wolf…
Well, Star Wolf is the Team that is led by Wolf O’Donnell, just as Star Fox is led by Fox McCloud. Wolf and his cohorts (Leon Powalski, Andrew Oikonny, Pigma Dengar, and Panther Caroso (the second and third removed after StarFox 64)) were contracted by Andross up until StarFox Assault, where, for the first time, Team Star Wolf actually HELPED Team Star Fox defeat the Apparoids.
Anyways, you weren’t wrong, Snowmon, you were just unaware. Though I do have to say that the progression of Leon’s degenerative sanity has saddened me.
…nobody yet, really? Fine, I’ll be the first.
DO A BARREL ROLL!!!!
Can’t let you do that, Star Fox!
Can’t let you do that, Star Fox!
Also, I’m voting for Peanut as front-line leader, and Fido as second-in-command.
Joey is the Spy.
Bino is going to end up as a meat shield at some point, or do something completely out of character and save the dogs.
Hey , in the third panel he realy looks a bit like “Archangel” from Airwolf “giggle”
But the eyepatch is on the wrong side. XD
Where does one buy an eyepatch, I don’t want to buy a whole pirate costume just for the eyepatch
Make one out of cloth…or foil! Or do like Rick says and cover your eye with one hand.
But if I use my hand then I need to talk with a lisp and I was never good at that, if anything I over pronounce my S’s when I try to fake a lisp
Cosmetics and pharmacies. Possibly, even an eye care profession.
If you wait till Halloween, I’ve even see some make up kits that provide them.
Aww, they’re so cute at that age.
And tactical. ^_^
And crazy
and awesome
Oh hey, Boris is back.
Heh, I remembered that bald guy from Austin Powers, I don’t know why, but I did.
All what Commander Rockstar Hawk needs cat to pet… wait, no. Maybe a teddy bear? Meh, I don’t know.
He needs to pet a squeaky toy like it’s a cat
He needs… a Not-So-Mini Me.
any bet that the general/superior grade is King, with Lucretia as bodyguard?
I kind of doubt it, I can’t picture the other dogs taking orders from King (sure he’s technically the oldest but he’s also the smallest).
and would you see them taking orders from a feral cub? I’ll bet there is King’s paw into this…AND the ferrets’ filthy rich wallet behind King
He’s a wolf, that’s pretty cool. King’s a corgi which are cute and cool in real life but he’s not a leader.
If Lucretia is in this, she’s probably spending the whole time wondering if it really is a good idea for her children to play games like this
And coming to some conclusion that is perfectly logical for a top carnivore but nobody else can figure out.
What? No, I don’t know what it is, Ferrets have a completely different psychology!
So, we should be asking owls?
(I don’t think any of the other animals that prey upon ferrets are top carnivores)
All they say is “O RLY?” and “YA RLY!”.
Actually, that explains a lot about the top carnivore mindset
R U SRS?
Rawk Hawk is gonna rock those cats’ socks right off!
a-men to that, bro *hi-fives*
3d panel = awesome
4th panel = DA CUTENESS!
The Cubra Commander.
whut
Heh, interesting considering that *General* Hawk was in charge of the GI Joe’s
I simply would’ve died if he said “Big Boss”. But, alas.
Would’ve expected some one a bit older, but then again, a water balloon war does seem like something a kid would start.
I think this is the first time we’ve seen Yeltsin’s Biohazard tag. Perhaps, as a professional thug, his preferred methods included needling (with razor sharp wit)? Also, we need Boris, Yeltsin and the chicken in a panel, dancing.
That name is BRILLIANT.
And much better than Space Laser.
HEAR HEAR!!
Gracious! He needs to put more clothes on o.o this is a CIVIL community, just look at that skimpy thing…no wait, Don’t Look at it! DX
and Zach’s day keeps getting weirder and weirder..
well, better than scarier and scarier…
Yeltsin have Biohazard Dogtag and Boris have Nuke Dogtag.
A pair of the death.
Dog Team`s boss was wolf ?!
BANG! Talk about commenters getting a feel where things are heading. XD
(????:You didn’t even remember that this charecter exists…
That-is-not-the-point! …)
I meant ppl were talkin aboot the leader of the dog army and BANG an awesomesauce twist as always.
(????: Ya know there’s boot licking and then there’s this…
You are SO dead… -_-”)
“cant let you do that star fox” comes to my mind when i see panel 3
I thought the same thing
WHERE IS DEATH AXE?
Now he’s Hannibal Norris
Pffftwahaha!
Win!
Eyepatches make everyone look more cool, and can prove useful when transitioning from a light environment to a dark one, although I’m not sure they are that useful for a species that has better night vision than a human to begin with.
Rockstar Hawk! Love the Fatal Fury reference. XD
For those curious, I am refering to Axel Hawk from Fatal Fury 2.
We can haz link, plz?
Wow, your post makes mine look feelbe. More power to you!
You know what, I’m very much ilcniend to agree.
I think there’s also a Dairy Queen reference that says at the end “This is no ordinary Hawk, this is a Rockstar Hawk” in it as well… so either he got it from Fatal Fury … or watched a Dairy Queen commercial and liked how those words sounded together…. he’s a kid after all XD
I actually think that was a rock and roll falcon, but close enough.
Aaaaaaaaaaand… AVATAR’D
Two things
1) what is king ding through all this?
2) I can see how this all got started now
Considering he doesn’t say a word when his basement has been turned into a war room run by a be-eyepatched kid, I’m going to venture that he’s lying low for a bit.
Ahahahahahaha can’t stop laughing at that ridiculous name LOL!!! Rockstar hawk but he’s a wolf. XD And the eyepatch intensify the ridiculousness XP
Oh and I thought he’s name was Darth Vader Sanchez before XD
Now it all makes sense…
omg lol panel3: evil smile; panel4: lol smile
Love the face in the last panel.
Wow that eye patch, reminds me to MGS! 8D then who is the snake?
Awww~ The cubs have grown so much.
Already leading a guerrilla army :3
lol, I like how he has the tiny whip, [panel 3] It suits the dictator look^^
Riding crop.
My first thougt was: OMG, it’s Danger Mouse! The eye patch has it ^_^
” Penfold ….hush!” lol
he could be another one of petes attempts at making an avatar, but instead of joel, he used big boss
AW YEAH!!!! FINALLY READ ALL THE COMIC STRIPS!!!!! AND IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT 3 DAYS!!!!!!! wow i need to go outside… =/
HA! I read them in less than 20 hours ^^
It took me five man you guys are slow readers
I’m not slow, I just like to take my time looking at the art ^^
And now you can show it to people without Internet and see if they can read it faster!
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2011/07/06/housepets-book-one-now-on-sale
I bet they can read it faster, cuz it’s not the entire comic. It’s called “Book 1″ so that must mean there’re more books to come.
Wow wasn’t expecting this
Who’s “wow”?
Why, I’m wow! I thought everyone knew.
It’s true, with an avatar that cute all you can say is wow
What does that even mean when I say wow I mean WOW!!!
Silly cub and his name randomness.
I think you misspelled epicness * randomness*
Eyepatches ARE a nice touch! .)
What a amazing wolf!
and I think rabbits are being portayed as “weak beings”
(it is true though)
The pups got tall fast.
Bio hazard and Nuclear?
So nice to see the cubs are growing up, learning the rite of the hunt, the thrill of taken down the weaker foe.. and their names are getting cooler. I wonder who all is in involved in the war.. we see grape and max are in but where is peanut? surely he has a role in this.
Don’t know where is Peanut, but Joey is probably under cover agent
Wonder what are Boris’s and Yeltsin’s personal quirks? So far, we’ve seen then hold down other pets significantly smaller and weaker than themselves under the command of those who seem to act like they’re in first grade.
I think in the range of that they like to knit to that they have to watch over a baby, be it human, puppy, or kitten…
Holy FIRETRUCK, the cub grew up FAST!
They tend to do that lol.
To think, I was cfounsed a minute ago.
