Aha, finally, anticlimax!
Lol at last panel, Its funny how he slumps his shoulders and hangs his head =3
What, no rules on how we shouldn’t be jerks or pretend to be moderators?
And here I thought you were an automatic response to new house-pet comics
This post has been edited by a moderator.
You also shouldn’t use profanity. ;3
Wow!
You can change people’s comments too?
That’s so cool!!! =D
Can you change this too?
*Writes comment filled with disturbing profanities and sick images*
:3
It’s probably best if we don’t talk about things that are completely unrelated to the comic. Yes, moderators can edit and delete your posts, but that’s easily avoided by not breaking the rules.
Summer rain you can never predict them!! :p
No you can’t…Double D.
Gravy, Butter Toast! xD
EDBOYS!!!
Let’s stop this here.
This place has been getting more and more off-topic lately ヽ(´o｀；
Just wanna point that out on topic it’s finally getting close to CURTAIN-CALL
Sorry about that
Sure you can. It happens whenever the weatherman says it won’t happen.
Like in ‘04 when it was 100% (or 0%, lol) true that whatever the rain % was, the truth was exactly opposite. 10% meant 90%, 40% meant 60%, 70% meant 30%, etc.
to much math *boom*
never underestimate the power of nature! mwahahahahaha! also, did he expect to jump out the window or something? lol
the world has a way of knocking ya down when u get too full of your self, and i think Keene was just using the window to show off sort of like “I did this”
Karma…Gets ya every time. ヽ(´o｀；
Yeah it does, in Mario Party 8 I tickled my friend so the game was evil and made me land on a bowser space. >.<
Let’s make our comments relevant to the current comic. : )
Talk about raining on someone’s victory parade.
Rimshot
EPIC Rimshot
Pride comes before the fall of rain?
Oh no, water that’s not from a weapon! Everyone inside!
your right I dont want to get WET
Reminds me of my dad. “You cant go swimming in the rain! You might get wet!” But anyway, I think that Peanut will soon have to begin multiplayer mode, since everyone will probably be heading inside!
oh well, lets all go inside for bacon and pancakes
Oooh I’m in!
You had me at bacon.
Let’s get peanut. heh
I’m good on bacon AND pancakes.
Daisy’s good on bacon and pancakes?
me want pancakes! =3
If it’s not related to the comic, it’s best discussed on the [forums].
Er, ok, sorry bout that…
you had me at oh
and rain just means god hates you… but water gun fights in the rain are fun too
Yeah, but how can you tell who’s winning? (-_^) .l,,,
>:( SO please disregard that question.
War’s over, I don’t think there was a winner. Bino certainly lost though.
Yeah, but I don’t think anybody really cares about Bino unless he angers somebody.
You’re right! 0_o
I just realized… maybe that’s the reazon why he acts like a jerk.
…
…aaaaaaawwwwwwwwww! ^_^
Bino just needs attention.
I’ll give him attention! Even though it’s not needed.
U^ェ^U
I like the last panel A LOT =D
[Nelson Voice]*Points at Keene* Ha-Haw [/Nelson Voice] Thats just Awesome so is the arc over or is there still more?
I need to close some things so there’s a little bit more
Ok, I thought so, just making sure.
Epilogue… sweet!!
which will hopefully be an epic log
That’s what he gets for tempting fate, it’s like saying “what could possibly go wrong” or “I’m sure it will be o.k.”
wut’s a hubris o.o?
Gross overconfidence. The word is Greek.
oh okay, thanks :3
*The more you know*
☆彡ヽ(´o｀；
Hey, Lelouch, what’s up with those strange symbols you keep using?
how do you make the star symbol? ^_^
and, did you create your own language?
just wondering. =)
They’re japanese emoticons.
And that’s one point for the Summer rain!
That’s a total of 2. The other point is for keeping forests catching on fire.
Keeping my newly planted lime trees from dying.
Summer rain. Everyone loses!
…unless…! *watches the cats and dogs dance in the rain*
Nonsense! Everyone wins!!!!
“Can you… feel the… brand new day!!!! Can you… feel the… brand new day!!!!!!!!”
This arc’s morale: “Money can’t pay off karma…”
Or poetic irony…
Well that’s what the ferret gets for his brief flirtation with villainy.
I thought the moral of the story is, “Even if you had all the cards, it’s pointless if no one wants to play.”
That, or “Never say ‘Nothing/Can’t stop me’ without those words to jinx it.”
Give this dood a ribbon I thought NO ONE would figure it out!
Rules to being an Evil Overlord
I will never say “You can’t stop me”or “That’s impossible” because my defeat will be immediate.
I like going out in the rain =3 and uhhh.. i love this comic <3
“Waaa-waaa-waaaaaaaah…”
I can totally hear a horn playing that now.
Somehow I expected this… Anyway… DENIED!!!
So that’s how his shades stay on even when they don’t attach to his ears!
Actually, if you look back at his other appearances, they fit like normal glasses (not around his head) despite the whole not attached to his ears thing.
This is either some design flaw or Keene’s got some new shades.
Based on the front design and how it differs from previous ones, I would say that these really are new shades.
Well, that sucks for him! But I wonder who won?
Will the battle continue? Tune in next Sunday!
Also, play him off, Keyboard Cat.
so those arent shades!! they’re goggles!!! also, saw it coming…he tempted fate so tarot got back at him for capturing peanut
or…maybe thats water that went into orbit after the mega water balloon went off
Epic Invader Zim reference FTW xD
“The Wettening….”
That was such an awesome water balloon *wants one*~
But anyway, it took me a while to figure out the background was a view of the neighborhood and not some kind of map covered in oddly-shaped polygons
This reminds me of how the weather has been around here
And then God flipped you off.
oooohhh what a sucker punch Xc
Mother nature wanted to join the war.
Oh and also:
It’s raining, cats and dogs!
*facepalm* BADLY PUNNY xD
ENOUGH PUNS ALREADY >:O
Hope the ferret saved for a rainy day…
>:/ your not funny |:(
This was a total CAT-astrophe! How anticlimactic. But good thing we brought those Zach feet eh?
Not very funny, but just good enough to be a pun… LET THE JOKES CONTINUE!
the ferret can’t weasel his way out, now!
C’mon now, in a few strips it’s all gonna be water under the bridges…
why cat caught your tongue?
I think he’s having a cow right now.
(sorry couldn’t think of any other animal related pun)
don’t be a chicken to try new puns.
You guys are taking these puns too far! >:(
Sorry to “rain” on your parade!
(Somebody shoot me now)
*Shoot*
*Insert one liner that has the word “rain” in it*… What. My brain can’t comprehend one liners by itself. :p
Silly ferret! Never forget rain.
you win this round mothernature
The most terrifying evil of all, if Copernicus is to be believed. …Which he isn’t… since he has two fingers, a thumb, and an ego dwarfed by the gargantuanness of his idiocy.
sucks to be him…. hm i wonder where peanut is…still
Still playing videogames, most likely at the Miltons Mansion.
prolly
SO THE ARCS ENDING NOW? also the diet poison if u see this i want 2 know what do u think of my avatar?
I like it a lot! ^_^
Verry original!
However, you shouldn’t worry for my opinion. It’s your avatar and if that’s the one you like, I should be happy for you. =)
Oh, and there’s still a few more strips to see!
We all need to know the conclusion, so we might see how the other characters that we have already seen ended up.
No reply? =(
Where’d you go? =(
…
…
…I think I’m gonna cry. =’(
Brilliant.
Oh charma, you’re so convienent.
An then Murphy laughed an made it rain, going “Hahahah! No summer for you boy!”
Alt text please?
Alt-text: “THAT is anticlimax. Get it right, people”
Since mother nature struck without warning, the pet’s outside should settle their war into playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl or Uno
Mother Nature: “Oh dear, I’m sorry; did I rain on your parade?”
…Yeah, really bad pun, I know.
You’ve been forgiven because we’re still making those jokes in earlier posts… IN THE FUTURE!
Give me a I-R-O-N-Y
What does that spell IRONY!!!
Go Housepets!
of COURSE it’s anticlimatic now! *opens up umbrella*
Awww, poor Keene such an anticlimatic thing to happen
Did anyone else immediately think of Calvin and Hobbes?
I greatly admire anyone who gets which strip I am referencing.
That definitely is anticlimax. *starts singing trololololol*
*lol, lol, lol*
I wonder if a troll is behind this rain.
Troll: Dear Mother Nature, if you don’t make it rain to ruin keene’s plan, I WILL NOT STOP SINGING!!!
*TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL*
=D

The great kitsune is now laughing at you right now, Keene.
Yes I am. Ha, ha, ha!!!
=D
*lol*
:/ I am the dark kitsune Lelouch Vi Brittania and I frown upon you (￣^￣)ゞ
♪( ´▽｀) ♪the great kitsune is a hack ♪ (JK)
Whatever do you mean?
I AM THE GREATEST OF GREAT KITSUNES!!! D<
… and if you whant to discuss this…
…we should go to the forums, because this is off topic.
=D
I Can’t get on the forums
cause I don’t have a Email
That’s fine! ^_^
I can’t figure how to get in the forums anyways. =(
However, I think we can be brother-Kitsunes! ^_^
SWEET!!! =D
…
…wait… you don’t have an e-mail? =/
why not?
Because I don’t have a laptop and it’s impossible to do it on this iPod
Sorry, Keene, but you failed your Irony Save roll.
A clever man Rick must be. A clever man Rick has been. Tricking us into expecting an actual climactic situation. But he tricked me before this. He tricked me without Daisy being evil. Hats off to you Rick, you have the respect of a person you will probably never meet for making a web comic like this.
Also… the joke may have already been made but…
I guess it just rai- *shot*
Rick got degree at Coyote’s night school
Heh, and he was in the last few hours of the experiment? Sounds like the same prob a couple mice had when a certain planet got blown up (I’m not going to look up the details for it right now, too early, and I don’t want to sound like a geek …which I already do).
They can’t, but the rain can
There you see one broken ferret.
Raise your hand if, like me, you started singing “Rain On Your Parade” after this strip.
I started singing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1mvN6lU0oU
Sorry, I fail and found the wrong vid, this is legit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xsDdIByh8A
Horray For Rain! *Starts Dancing* …………. My Scales Are Getting Soaked! XD
That’s why I stay inside. When my scales get wet, people go blind.
Some Sort Of Acid On your Scales That Turns To A Vapor When Wet? It’s Just Obnoctious For Me. Expecially Since Water Gets In My Eyes Alot. However, I Wish It’s Rain. It’s Just All Humid Where I Am. It Gets Annoying The Tenth Day In A Row. XD
Yeah, this has lost its relevance to the comic. Back on topic, please.
~Rain Rain, Go Away, You Just Foiled A Ferrets Plans.~
They get shiny, and bright
Ah yes, rain fixing everything. Doesn’t that sound familiar? It’s like that one anime/manga series I’m a fan of. Now what was it called? I think it involved pirates, sea travel and demonic fruit… Oh that’s right, Hetalia.
well, i guess this game got*puts on shades*rained out
YEAH!!!!!!!!!*shot in the back for making a terrible reference*ow!
Enough with the memes.
Party pooper.
(i’m not gonna pun on this because they’ve used it already)
By all means, enjoy yourselves, but it’s not fun for anyone if the comment section degenerates into a collection of tired memes. Posting smart, relevant comments results in more interesting discussion and provides Rick feedback on the comic.
Ummmmm…
Has enybody wondered where grape is going? =/
Maybe is just me, but…
It seems like she is about to take off…… somewhere. =/
I was just thinking the same thing.
She’s obviously looking for Peanut still, she couldn’t care less about Keene and his silly fail.
Is it just me or did anyone else think of “raining cats and dogs”?
Poor Keene, but i should’ve expected RIck to pull something like this.
“Oh wait, this is a big screen TV with a vaguely weather-related movie on. The window’s over THERE.”
I wish I had one of those TVs! =D
Well, who wouldn’t?
and who wouldn’t wish to be as rich as the ferrets, for that matter?
=)
I wouldn’t. all that money would only be good for bail(Madea reference)
( *｀ω´)
Do you mean… like…
…too much money gets people in trouble?
welll… yeah… sort of…
… everyone exept Kitsunes!!! =D
…
… left a golden statue with “or is it?” writen on it at king’s, remember?
No. haven’t you ever seen Madea goes to jail.
It’s means all that money would only be good for getting out of jail.
Sorry, not familiar with it.
…but, to get out of jail, one must be in jail already…
=p
Anyways, King could use that much money…
I hope he still remembers that he was about to be judged before becoming a dog.
So, if he decides to turn back into a human, he’s gonna need some money.
=)
…he could sell the kitsune golden- statue.
=D
Agh, who doesn’t love a good dose of well-placed irony with a hint of karma? :3
The water from that giant water balloon evaporated into the sky and now it’s raining down on everybody!
CUE FITTING SONG!!!
*I’m siiiiingin’ in the rain, I’m siiiiingin’ in the rain!
After after all that work and strain, I’m just singin’! In the rain.*
Keene obviously never heard of Murphy’s Law. If something can go wrong, it will go wrong. In other news, the winner of the Babylon Gardens Water War is Mother Nature. Lets give her a round of applause before she kills all of us with lightning, huh?
*Begins clapping his hands in order to appease Mother Nature*
*clap, clap, clap*
Hurray for Mother Nature!!!
Hurray!
Hurray!
=D
-claps in fear-
Go… Nature ha….haha….
Q~Q
Why are you guys fearing a chick you can’t even see?
I shall not clap :/
That’s what makes her so intimidating.
I do not believe in most things I see.
So why should I believe in a invisible force of nature.(JK)
I fear what the person can do, not the person.
His office has a great view. Especially for one in a strip mall.
I find the ending rather epic.
I was acualy thinking of…
…
…EPIC FAIL!!!
=D
I agree ( *｀ω´)
Wait, his sunglasses now include a complete headband?
Honestly, I don’t see how they’d stay on his head otherwise…
On past comics, they were normal glasses
True, but perhaps the cheek fur wasn’t cutting it with holding capabilities?
Lesee: You’re a sentient animal living in a world (well, this neighborhood in the development) where higher order beings are playing a dorky cosmic version of D&D and you make a statement like that… what did you think was going to happen? “Game called because of rain.”
enter pinkie pie with the “wah wah waaaah” trombone
why wub dis arc /)^3^(\
You should post a comic every 5 mins so i can get my fix of houspets all day long X3
Do you realize that would be the equivalent of one character/one panel every post (depending on how good Rick is and how fast he works)?
Haha, i was kidding X3
it’s all fun and games till God gets involved
This is not God, but his daughter Mother nature.
i wanna see grape and peanut MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Settle down. Also, you need to be much more mindful of what you post, non PG stuff and silly memes is frowned on.
bad joke time am losing in the rain
I find it funny that I read this comic in the midst of a storm passing through.
I’m glad that this particular scene will be ending soon. I like the Water War but I want to see main plot! And Peanut X] (also, I’m surprised at how often the Mod has to come here and put things back on track…jeez).
Hoorah! My plan won’t be stopped at all!!!
…*insert about 4 profanity words here that make sense*!!!!!!!
holy cow!!! can`t wait to see the nd of this arc, probably it ends with cake
or maybe grape and peanut kissing?……naw!!
Ya know? I read this comment just before going to bed, and no joke, i dreamt that Peanut and Grape were KISSING in the next strip!!! Too bad i couldn’t read the words to figure out what was going on but aww well.
That`s what you get for not videotaping your dreams (tisk tisk face)
i dont have dreams for some reason but when i do its always a nightmare *note to self STOP playing fear 1 ,2 and 3
last panal ZOMBIE
Well this will be ending soon 8-D
