Miles at his finest lol!
fifteeen…
oh my
now you know how many you need to include in your fic.
*crackles knuckles* I LIKE a tough challenge.
more wolves, more fun!
Well Rick said they only come and visit every once in a while so you won’t be using them all the time since they don’t live in the house.
Yes, apparently the whole pack came.
Fifteen wolves in a zoo.
Hmmm, you know thats a good name for a terrible sitcom.
Hope it’s a good movie! : D
it’s the zoo
Thank god – the popcorn would’ve cost a fortune.
Hilarious!
Wait, maybe they’ll spend that much on cotton candy anyway
but then again they might not spend anything on food…
Why? That’s what the other animals were for…..right? Right? Oh dear….
Followed by no deer.
I predict a lot of screaming coming up also Security Guards.
big family. fun.
I see the leash ordinance is still in effect.
And they’re almost in compliance!
it is a loop-hole
Miles family is huge, are they all living at that house together or did some come from the woods just for this trip or what?
And Rick explains it here. http://www.housepetscomic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=315004#p315004
Odd, you would think the wild members of the family might dislike them for going to human civilization.
wonder what reaction they will have when they get to the wolves
Admiration at the scam?
oh, and alt text for the browser-impaired:
“Our original plan was to utilize your age ranges to our advantage, as most of my family are each under six years old and are thus eligible for the 4.99 ticket, while a good many are under three and eligible for a free pass anyway, but this turned out cheaper.”
Ah even more loophole abuse
Oh man. I laughed so hard.
*is guilty of using coupons in the same manner*
I love Miles
Miles makes everyone speechless with his wolf like majesty
Wolves on leashes…at the zoo…this can’t end well
Never a dull moment with Miles and his pack! I’ll bet this is one day the zoo staff will NEVER forget….
“Enough leashes for most of them”
…. Well… as long as there are almost enough, I suppose it’s alright.
Miles, from what I remember is really tall and yet he’s barely tall enough for the ticketing booth.
What about us shorter folk who aren’t 7 feet tall?
he isn’t that tall. he’s shorter than Bill: http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/10/23/despite-his-name-being-bill/
I’d say about a foot shorter, and Bill’s probably 6 feet, give or take
Assuming, of course, that he’s not a 6ft wolf and Bill’s a 7tf human. We really don’t know how the size thing works out.
Miles is shorter than the random human on the street here.
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/10/05/sweet-christmas-its-a-wolf-get-in-the-car/
I’m assuming Miles is not a Mackenzie wolf subspecies. Those wolves are huge (about the same size as a Irish Wolfhound). If Rick ever had one of them in the comic, they would tower over everyone else.
I don’t think the animals scale exactly… grape is as big as peanut and peanut is an average-sized dog.
Ever considered that the ticket booth may be slightly raised? Say, for trucks?
One would give ticket for free to such a cute wuffie!
Ya know on the last strip I didn’t get the joke, but seriously now I’m kinda ashamed to admit that. No matter how many rights animal have in this universe a bunch of them acting like a family all on their own still sounds weird. XD
Anyways I guess we can all feel sorry for the ticket lady. Anyone who worked in places like that knows how tiring can people get.
Miles is quiet the gentleman, no wonder its always the kindly gentleman always turning into the werewolf.
or, in Miles’ case, a werehuman
I think wolfwere might be more appropriate, since ‘were’ already means ‘man’. Of course, that would make Lucretia a wolfwif…
Oh Miles, so thrifty :3
Their wolves, at the zoo.
She should ask if they’re checking in or checking out.
haha i like how he says that he brought enough leashed for MOST of them XD
first panel.
makes me WANNA scritch’n'ruffle Miles’ head.
But he’s still a wolf!
I knew Miles’ pack had to be a lot bigger than what we’d seen so far! I wonder how many of them are cubs.
Is it just me, or is the way Miles’ expressions are drawn often make him look inordinately innocently cute? You would think he would look a lot more “mature” than the pets but, for instance, the strips where he first goes to the city (both the happy first panel and sad third panel), where Bill comes to the house asking for his license, and yesterday’s strip (first panel) he often has this innocently happy (or puppydog sad) look.
Guess the extended family came in from the woods for a visit.
if traditional pack rules are respected, it’s only the three cubs, since only the alphas mate to give birth
Is Miles still alpha, he did leave for the city…of course he does have a biggest paycheck (or at least equal to his brother Darryl).
Cashier: I’ve heard of animals breaking OUT, but breaking back IN? This is ridiculous!
awww cute
Ah the loopholes. Just like what Mr. Peanut does.
fifteen isn’t a multiple of four, three of those wolves are gonna have to pay.
They made three copies, that’s four coupons altogether, so they have one extra.
Oh, never mind, they BROUGHT three copies, but as the alt text says “a good many are under three and eligible for a free pass anyway”.
the alt text is referring to their age, not to the number of wolves left over. though rereading the strip again, it looks like the cashier lady is saying they all get in free just because she says so. Though my first time reading it I just got the “I don’t care I don’t like my job” vibe from her, not that she was letting them all in free.
and I just realize by that you mean the three left over could all be under three, and still get in anyway. Though usually coupons can’t be combined with other offers.
again all irrelevant since apparently cashier lady doesn’t care enough to charge right now.
Rick did clarify in the forums that he wasn’t counting his three cubs in the deal since they would get in for free anyway. Someone else commented that he would have expected more pups, which I agree with just because I want to see a half-dozen wolf cubs running amok!
There is forums?
Yes. There’s a link to the forums above the comic and we also suggest people visit them to discuss things not directly related to the comic. [ link ]
Marty isn’t there cause hes back in the Future! *shot*
Knew I shouldn’t have loaned him the Bricklin, course the DeLorean’s in the shop.
No, I’m right here.
You bring the book back from 2015?
Nope, I destroyed it.
Well that was smart. Why didn’t you do that in the first place?!
He’s actually learned something in the last 26 years!
Also cashier lady must be british because what american says “sacked”?
I do. = P
Well then. That must mean you’re a British spy. Or this is an awkward conversation. Either way.
Is that all of them, or did some stay at home?
What the. . . ?
You’re showing a human’s face in this comic?
wait, did the bandits from the ghost arc show their faces?
One of the comics linked above, we saw “Bill’s” face- the human who liked his steak rare. “Wait, we were supposed to COOK the meat?” *facepaw* “I knew we forgot something!”
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/10/23/despite-his-name-being-bill/
Dum de dum. Back to the grind
They did show Joel’s face (who is mostly known as King)
And the fat guy he worked with.
He’s been showing a lot more of humans lately. This isn’t Peanuts.
peanut approves
Also, They don’t speak baby-talk
III IIIIIII II I IIII III IIII III!
I did not know that was Miles until I read the comic description and the last panel… I’m dumb D:
Miles is a very intelligent wolfie…and OMG A HUMAN!!!!11!!one! DDD8 */sarcasm*
What’s gratis?
“Free” in practically all other languages.
The catch is this: Gratis means “it costs $0″; you should never say “I was a prisoner and now I am Gratis”
Gratis = “free as in beer”
Libre = “free as in speech”
hehe Turn the wolf cubs loose in the petting zoo! Of course the human kids will think the adult wolves are for petting… freaking out their parents!
That won’t end well
Man…that ticket lady is sooo uuuugglly!!
I love how well spoken Miles is, unlike me : ) I predict a lot of Zebra’s running for their lives
I’m pretty sure Zebras and wolfs don’t cohabitate
wonder if they have collars on
well, they have leeshes for most of them
Most of them?
the others can be carried?
That’s what the strollers that you can rent are for :p
Yes, we’ll all hold our own leashes. Is that a problem? Okay, we won’t hold hands I promise!
she whusint especting wolf lol
Free… just can’t be beat.
Also I like where this is going. (straight to Miles’s stomach ba dum bum pisssh)
It’s okay they brought leashes for most of them. Oh, wait.
….and so the chaos begins!
The cashier is sure going to have a story to tell at the dinner table.
Oi, o 3o you draw very good people! *no surprise rly ;P*
HA! Supporting leashing the kids are we? ;P *briicked* X3
Oof, I think the wolves are gonna have a good eat.
and thus the unions had to enlist new members after each downsizing
Your attention please
Humans are not snack food. They are available for free interaction at the screaming zoo
Thank you!
I’ll have to go see this fabled ’screaming zoo’ for myself!
oh how ironic the co-worker doesn’t show up and they get in for free this mayhem is never ending
ahh why do i suck at this
at what?
at remembering to put the e-mail that makes his avatar show up
“Sir… what are you doing to that gazelle!?”
“Wath doth *swallows* it look like?”
“Well… they’re for looking at… not eating”
“Wha-!?! I come all this way to LOOK at food!?! That’s madness!!”
Madness? THIS IS HOUSEPETS
THIS IS SPARTAAA!!!! sorry…i had to. ^_^
nice man lovein it
So wait, let me get this strait. Are the tickets free or absolutely free?
Is it just me, or could housepets be a show that could be on cartoon network, or another channel like that because I would think it would be a hit!
Several people have mentioned that they’d love to see a Housepets! cartoon. It’s extremely unlikely to happen.
Hey, I’d do it. I just need someone to provide for me in the meantime
Are the jerk-humans the only ones who faces we can see?
I dunno, are you saying this employee is a jerk? How about Officer Bill, Fox’s owner? = P
