Epic moment! o.o
The Max/Fluffy fight or Grape with the Broom?
BROOM TO THE FACE!!!
Its super effective!
Enemy Creep Fainted!
Grape won 200 XP points
Fox won 20 XP points
Max won 10 XP points
You collect (insert weird Pokemon currency symbol)400.
Bleh, I fail. Exact quote is: “BROOM TO YOUR FACE!”
That’s what I get for going off memory.
Pokemon reference still pretty spot on though.
Sad thing is? I’ve not played Pokemon in YEARS (I discovered I really don’t like turn-based games), but I started reading this comic (and read the whole thing) earlier this past year.
Also, I should have reversed those experience points with Fox and Maxwell – at least Maxwell was the one that charged into battle and quickly learned experience that he’s not a good fighter
Fox didn’t do much here… Though that may show Fox has more experience than Max.
I still play Pokemon now and don’t remember the system in that mach detail.
*much
Pokemon share the experience equally. So yeah, they’d all get the same amount
Unless you have an item that…..wait never mind too much detail.
so thats where she learned that move:D
Actually, in the latest generation, pokemon who are lower levelled tend to get a slightly bigger share of exp. than higher levelled, provided that they take action.
/end giant NERD moment
hm, looks like Max’s ear will be shot off, not bitten off…
I don’t think he’s shooting anyone after getting beat up by Grape
well, if the weapon goes off by itself…. there is a possibility.
Might be way off, but I feel like Grape could be the cause of Max’s ear.
JB, I think I agree with you. It’ll either be Fox or Grape – and for some reason I’m slightly leaning toward Grape.
Hadn’t thought of that interesting possibility! First gun in Housepets?
Did you forget all about the war Keene Milton masterminded between the Cats and the Dogs?!
Plenty of (water) guns and (water balloon) bombs!
But not (bullet) guns!
Well, all the neferius villians in the Spot (superdog) comics had guns. Or were those chocolate bars?
Chocolate can be VERY dangerous you know.
i vote, CHOCOLATE BARS!!!!
Kitten Grape might whack the stranger hard enough causing him to drop the shotgun going off. Or pulling the trigger from the sudden broom force the steel pellets hitting kitten Max’s ear in the process!
his ear marks look more like they were recived in a physical confrontation to me.
I really doubt its going to get shot off. But if it does Fox is going to have to move fast if he doesn’t want to get shot in the face.
Plus the cast page specifically says that its a Bite Mark. I really doubt that Rick would lie on the cast page. In addition it looks absolutely nothing like a shot gun shot wound would.
Maybe it’s a comical cartoon shotgun which creates bite mark looking wounds.
Rick may have said that just to throw us off! But I think you’re right Kitsune! Maybe the broken broom piece in Fluffy’s mouth snapped off taking a bite in Max’s ear!
However it happens I’m sure Rick will make it unexpected.
Fluffy is Tapping out!!
call the match Ref!..
Max and Grape! actionized!
Can’t get any better. <3
BROOM TO THE… mouth?
Yeah, and the owner’s gettin’ it in the FACE.
From a small kitten…. yep, knockout for sure!
Anyone notice how the “kitten” knows karate? Lol
Nope, she knows something much, much better.
She knows Broom-Fu.
I’m sure the pound was rough.
I also have mastered broom-fu. As a result, my brother has a cast.
on his face?
no everywhere haha
Fox now has an action movie life. = P
Doesn’t look likes he likes it, maybe that’s why he prefers books now.
Or Grape is so awesome with the action Fox can’t compete
Is he a background character? Because he is not really contributing to the action!
Rescue-dragging Max? ;3
Medic??!?
Oh yes, an event so traumatizing it turns his personality inside out and he becomes the Fox we know.
Ha! So Fluffy was a red herring! For now…
Possibly he was intending it to happen, then read our comments and knew we were onto him. He reads these, right?
Plus he couln show the blood with a G rating
(No, I was always intending this to be a fakeout)
One should never underestimate Rick!
Also I don’t think the G-Rating factor applies because he has to lose his ear eventually somehow.
But nothing says it has to happen in this arc. The flashback is only covering a specific chunk of time, not the entirety of life after Grape was adopted by the Sandwiches.
Your right nothing says it has to happen in this arc. The only reason almost everyone is assuming that is because it makes sense for it to happen here.
I mean there is also the possibility that (which I always assume up till this arc) that Sabrina had something to do with it maybe messing around with magic of some kind or during some ritual or during a trip to that spirit realm trunk stop place or something like that.
Hmm. Maybe Sabrina bit it when they were breaking up.
Ice, while it could fit in here fine, do recall that there isn’t (AFAIK) any definitive conclusion of the comic. If everything is told now, what will Rick have to do for later on?
Keldor, I doubt it. I think Max would’ve mentioned something about that when it was revealed that they were dating at one point.
Actually I’m pretty sure Rick mentioned he does plan on ending the comic at some point. I mean I’m sure that he doesn’t plan to do this comic forever, and wants to focus on his other writing later on.
Plus there isn’t that much time between here and the start of the comics first arc (Grape is 2 here according to an Alt-text and she is a little older then 3 by the start of the comic, she was younger then Peanut who the orginal cast page said was almost 4) and Max had his ear bite by at least that point or very shortly after anyway so it makes it even more likely to happen in this flashback.
This seems to cover a lot of origin though. And who knows if there will be a Housepets Babies 2. I’m betting on this arc.
Wesker: Riiiiiiiiiiick!
(My fanboyism got to me, but i always felt you would fake us out =3)
I thought This Comic Was Rated PG?
As epic as Grape is, I’m feeling sorry for Fluffy for all of this to happen in his/her birthday
I’m sure it will turn out all right, it’s Housepets after all.
I’m sure he(?)’ll find some other small animals to play with. It’ll all turn out fine!
Maybe he can help out Zach with his Woodland Creature problem.
We’ll have to wait and see if Fluffy is mean or not. He/she looked quite happy in the last strip and Max attacked first in this strip so Fluffy could be nice (or not… we don’t know if the puppy and kittens were meant to be his birthday dinner)
I think Fluffy just wants friends (that’s what I’m predicting).
I believe that Fluffy can’t make any friends because everyone is scarred of him/her (we seriously need to establish gender here).
Fluffy’s owner, while not using the most rational methods, does care for Fluffy and wants to make Fluffy happy by getting kidnapping other pets and forcing them to play with Fluffy to give Fluffy the illusion of having friends.
I could be wrong, but in my mind I see this as a tragic case of being feared for what you are. Guess we’ll have to wait two days before finding out the answer.
I’ll have to wait longer cause I have to go to my sister’s to baby sit my niece; but I think you might be right rtlstien, remember the arc where they introduced Miles, Peanut was instantly scared of him thought he was a werewolf.
… … Go Werewolves.
I completely agree, you have said what I was thinking but was too lazy to fully write out.
Fluffy birthday arc.
Someday!
Talk about a literal “what did I do to deserve this?”!
Ok after the first panel I have to say it the only reason the two of them don’t hang out that much between here and the Yarnball is Max says something very very stupid and she bites his ear.
But Max says Grape is the coolest cat he knows at that point, I’m not sure..
True because of this, but remember that Grape complained that she didn’t know or hang out with Cats until she started dating Max. Its likely they didn’t hang out much as Max knows all the cats in the neiborhood and she would have no real reason to complain about not knowing many cats if they hung out regularly.
Even in a brightly lit room this guy’s pitch black! Does that just come with being a villan or something?
I think he is just misunderstood; he probably has some sort of inter dimensional skin condition… yeah lets go with that one
Sound like a plan. Also, Pete’s behind it…somehow.
Pete’s a jerk, but I wouldn’t take him for a killer…
Pete was still locked up in his temple back during this time, remember?
Yeah, I know, but I’m just throwing out random theories for the heck of it.
it’s GLANDULAR!
The Claw from Inspector Gadget is a good example.
I’ll get you next time Grape! NEXT TIME!
Presumably, Peanut knows all of this because he heard it from Grape. I wonder how slanted this version of events may be.
Again its very very likely that Peanut is not telling the story in this much detail. We are seeing the whole story because what we are seeing is Rick telling it to us not Peanut telling it to Res. Peanut has no reason to be an unreliable narrator anyway even if I’m wrong since he gains nothing from it.
Peanut doesn’t, but Grape does.
……I guess the racoon is tougher than I used to think……
Oh, wrong place to reply. By the way, Peanut does have a habit of overdramatic.
She might I guess, but you have to think about this even from a writing prospective it makes very little sense for Rick to tell the back story to his characters and then have at least half of what he just told us be a big fat lie (which is basically what your saying this all is). He would just have to tell it again at some point later. Or we would bug the heck out of him for it.
I’m not saying its impossible that hes doing that, just that its very very unlikely.
Not actually a lie, just a slightly colored truth.
But no, I think that if this were the story as told by Peanut, it would be in his art style (Spot (superdog)).
Didn’t say it was a lie. Just Grape’s perspective of the events that unfolded, which may have some bias.
Again for something as important as the back story for the main characters of the comic why would Rick lie about it? Her would just have to tell it again as the truth anyway or not bother saying that it was exaggerated and if he does the second thing then it does matter at all because we will never know if it was and you would have to take it as the truth anyway.
Unless Rick is going for some kind of Rashomon style thing here and we are going to hear it from everyone perspective then I really don’t see the point of giving us a lie here. It’s not impossible that Rick is doing that just I find it very very unlikely that, that is whats going on here.
I was gonna say… don’t forget that this is Peanut’s second-hand narration to Res.
I think that Peanut is just mentioning the bare bones, plus maybe whatever Grape has mentioned since then, and what we the audience is seeing is the whole enchilada (so to speak) of what happened and not just animation of the part of the tale that Peanut is telling to Res.
Nuh-uh. I’m holding out for the unreliable narrator.
So that’s where Grape mastered her broom skills.
BROOM TO THE FACE!
Broom: $2
Pet Alligator: $200
Grape first swing with a broom: Priceless!
I miss those commercials…
Me too. Advertising really hasn’t been very good lately. The Super Bowl commercials were good this time around, though.
She gets hold of a broom, its all over.
The mouseover text is truth.
Alt text please?
“I don’t know what you’re complaining about, according to third edition rules a kitten can EASILY whip a grown man.”
But only if the cat is a mage or ranger’s familiar and the grown man is a commoner with no PC levels! Just ask Mr. Scruffy.
In 2nd Edition, your war dog you can buy will have more HPs and better DPS than you when you first start.
Yeah, but a good DM can nullify those stats and make the game more interesting. Still–a kitten has those cuteness points. No one can resist the power of the kitten.
Yes. But I thought she had to have an actual whip. Does a broom count?
Grape is just that awesome. She can turn that broom INTO a whip.
Bite + two clawing attacks + back feet rake. That’s like 4 attacks per round!
It’s super effective! =D
Kitten beating alligator and man with shotgun… third edition rules? Please don’t tell me Grape is a player of that cosmic DND game…
Actually, the third panel of this http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/07/09/and-nothing-but/ comic seems to imply that Grape was once used as Pete’s character. Pretty weird, huh?
That doesn’t imply that she was, that only implies that Pete wanted her to be… and it’s easy to see why.
But the sixth panel doesn’t imply that.
He said third… the one where “GRA” is scribbled out.
I meant that in sixth panel it was implied pretty clearly that she wasn’t his avatar in any point, thus negating any implications one might had from the third panel alone.
True, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t being manipulated in any way.
Well, yes, but I think Pete initially had Grape as his avatar, then Spirit Dragon must have found some rule preventing him from keeping her for a longer period of time. Similar to what happened with King, where he was under Pete’s control up until Spirit Dragon challenged it.
That’s not supported by the comic.
Really? It seemed pretty clear to me. Where did my theory fall apart?
Pete wanted her but Dragon stopped that from happening by warning her and Peanut about Pete and making her scared of him.
Not gonna lie. The alt text gave me an inappropriately large happy. House cats are sodding scary for level one commoners!
Man, those raccoons got off easy! They’re lucky she didn’t make hats out of them. On the other hand she hit that one hard enough that he’s completely freaked out by brooms for life now…
The ‘Coons were only after the trash. That human was (seemingly) after their LIVES. I believe one takes precidence over the other.
Brooms do come in handy if you’re Grape.
The force is strong with this purple kitten! xD
the broom is
The Broom is strong in this one…
Somebody juxtapose Fox’s ninja pose with Grape’s broken broom pose, quick!
poor Fluffy what a terrible birthday
I don’t know but I think that could be the most action Fluffy has seen in a long time.
Grape ninja its 15 times better than matrix fox…
Violence and cuttenes go soo good togheter Say (write)
FLUFFY! If you agree!
Grape rules with broom of steel.
You know what would be funny is if Max’s ear was bitten not by a cat, dog, crocogator*, or any of the likely suspects, but by a human from PETA. :p
________
* Why does that make me think of a breakfast cereal? “Chocogator Crunch! The breakfast cereal that bites back!”
________
TRIVIA: According to the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook, the trill of the lizard wizard bird makes crocodiles yawn. It’s produced by setting the treble reed of an animal-training whistle at C and the bass chord at G over B flat.
Boy…when they say Everybody was Kung fu fighting, they mean EVERYBODY!
i think i know what happens after all this;
Grape gets home and takes a nape then along comes Peanut and tries to play
“Ten gallons of tail-whipping in a five gallon can…” And it’s name is Grape Jelly Sandwich…
Also I’m beginning to believe that the term Kitten and Puppy in the tags (with the obvious exception of Grape and maybe Peanut) only are referring to the fact that this is a flashback version of the characters, and not that they are actually considered puppies and kittens.
The reason Sargent Ralph didn’t get labeled as puppy is he already had a title in Officer that designated him as a past version.
Or Ralph’s just a really old dog
Seriously though, nobody but Ralph has been drawn in “proportion” with their adult versions, Fido’s one of the oldest of their “age group” and even he was drawn “smaller and cuter” (Ralph is just less buff… even moreso than usual). It’s like the difference between an 8 year old and a 12 year old. They’re still kids!
Oh, Grape, my sweet, precocious man-killer!
We must now sing a song of victory!
As awesome as Grape is in this strip, I’m rather impressed by Max’s bravery as well. Unlike Fox, he’s not all bravado, he actually tried to save both of them despite not even liking Fox. Go Team Kittens!
Max, WHY o why did you have to be so awesome?!
I just pictured 1960 Batman’s Ka-Pow special effects after this!
No no! It’s supposed to be 1990’s Anime action music!
Classic Looney Tunes music.
Grape is such a boss!
That must be a very loud enviroment judging from all the crashes and bangs.
I currently don’t feel sorry for Fluffy at all (Maybe a little in the last panel, since his (her?) owner brought this upon him/her), although it is still pretty cute.
Fluffy’s a bit smaller than I though it’d be though. I’d guessed Fluffy would have been too big to take a chunk out of Max’s ear, but ehhh. Maybe. Still pushing it though.
lolFox.
why do i get the feeling that theres something more to this?
I wonder.. we will see more of Fluffy in the future?
It’s funny how Grape doesn’t like any supernatural stuff even though she probably could beat up frost giants and dragons with her broom.
This is obviously why Pete wanted her as a Avatar before. She might have been really really powerful as one.
Think her dislike of supernatural stuff would translate into extra violence when beating supernatural creatures up?
She only dislikes supernatural stuff because of what Dragon told her to make her fear Pete. Before that she might have been fine with Supernatural stuff, thought it was weird,but not hate it.
……I guess the racoon is tougher than I used to think……
’small and inadequate’.
Oh, Maxie! :lol
today’s comic may underline Grape’s preference for dogs.
I mean, after such display of bravery, Grape could have been impressed by Max and hang more with him… Unless of course he started acting such a jerk and taking all the credit afterwards, to deserve her scorn.
It’s not as impressive when you have to jump in to save them.
I agree Val.
So this is when Max’s feelings of inadequacy first started to come to fruition…
Oh, now you’re just teasing us Rick…
I wish I was Rick so I could say, “So true.
”
I’ve killed a first level player with an unmodified housecat before. The alt text speaks the truth!
I almost killed a Paladin with a “magic mouth” once.
That magic mouth must have had quite some lip.
The spinning expletive hits the paladin in the ego! It is badly mangled!
The paladin made the mistake of having a face worked into his helmet’s faceplate, so I made him insult his super-powerful and short-tempered boss.

No no no. You need Battle Without Honor Or Humanity from the Kill Bill Vol. 1 soundtrack.
Because this is a battle without honour or humanity. It’s full of cattitude though!

Im surprised Max isn’t flat after having fluffy land on him <.<
Looney toons style.. xD
P.D. I like your joey avatar
Now see, THIS is the Grape I remember! The one who can eat revolutionaries and doesn’t afraid of anything!
(Also, these comics have been getting harder and harder to transcribe.)
This guy obviously keeps quite exotic pets, there’s every chance max’s ear was bitten off by a piranha or a carcaral
Or an ocelot, or a serval, or even several servals!
Hrmm. Methinks that lion princess in Pridelands may have several serval servents.
They make smashing decorating accents too!
http://ishiboo.com/~danny/Like/serval/nicotall.jpg
Look at all those UNIX books!
Grape is a student of Ti Kwan Leep. *paw to the head*
…BROOM TO YO FACE!
Little does Fox and Max know: Grape secretly got a Hyper Combo bar for putting the broom into Fluffy’s mouth and used it on the Stranger afterwards.
Holy southern fried swamp rats, that’s not how you rassle an alligator!
You sneak up behind it, jump on its back, and hold its head down until you can grab its jaw. Don’t let it turn its head to the side, just pull it back: once you’ve pulled its head back, it’s all over.
Almost took your ear?
Max, no foreshadowing in a flashback!
Fox and Max has just had their masculinity cut out from under them, also shootgun vs. broomstick, that one would go to the judges I think
panel four grape is next to the broom
*sniff* first broom whipping, this is gonna go in the photo album! say cheese Grape.
should be, cheese, Grape
Anyone else getting a FLCL-vibe from that blob of a towering man holding a shotgun like that?
I have this sinking feeling that I didn’t have in the past few pages, like this is somehow all a big misunderstanding…
but why a friendly man in a dark trench-coat with a shotgun would tie up a cat and a dog still needs figuring out.
Maybe he wanted guests for Fluffy’s party but pets get too freaked out by an alligator to attend?
The pets he kidnapped for Fluffy’s previous birthday party got a look at Fluffy and then bolted. He wants to make sure they stay at least until the party this time.
The alligator has strong bite muscles, yes, but their jaw-opening muscles are exceptionally weak. Their jaws can snap shut like a steel trap, but can be opened with bare hands by a reasonably-strong human, and held shut with duct tape. That’s why gator wrestling is so frequently seen.
And don’t forget they can’t reach the duct-tape with their comically short tyrannosaur-like arms.
I just noticed, in the last frame, he’s trying to reach the broomstick with said comically short arms.
Not to mention that, because they’re cold-blooded, alligators don’t have much endurance. If you’re strong enough to hold him, you can outlast him.
Grape: Our little badass.
I believe the term should be “bad-bass.”
In either case, it’s still true. :3
As awesome as grape is I can’t help but feel this is a little exaggerated, Peanut probably just likes this version of the story better than the version Max , Fox, or the cops gave.
GO GRAPE!!!
Best comic ever!
^_^
best reveal ever..
the shadow figure holding the gun is actually a grandma with overalls and a straw hat.
and that brooms gotta be made with an iron core if its stopping a gators jaws from shutting! xD
The broom wouldn’t have to be all that strong – here’s a thought experiment to demonstrate the point: Take a toothpick and put it in your mouth the way fluffy has the piece of broom. Now, bite down and break the toothpick. It should be easy, right? I mean, it’s just a toothpick!
See the problem? While the toothpick would break eventually, but not before stabbing a nice hole in the tender bottom of your mouth. Ouch.
Or the gator doesn’t want to bite down, what with the broken, jagged end of the broomstick pushing against the inside of its mouth.
Not really. While it *could* close its jaws, it couldn’t do so without the problem of the broomstick punching through its lower jaw in messy and painful fashion. Even if it was propped on the teeth, the broomstick is especially strong along the long axis, while being relatively inflexible at that scale. This, it won’t bend and snap.
I say this is all a big misunderstanding and stick to my previous argument that ‘toys’ referee to something other than Max and Fox. Also that they were kidnapped because it’s hard to get anyone to attend an alligators birthday party.
*referred
Of course, that doesn’t explain the shotgun…
Maybe the stranger heard the loud gbam from the door and thought some intruder had just kicked down the front door (which conveniently opens into the same room as the basement door) and came running to scare them off?
He sensed a problem, and a shotgun solves just about any problem.
Well, in Grape’s Bio, it DOES say “Any problem can be solved with the correct application of pressure to a stupid person’s face. A shotgun does seem a tad excessive, though.
As i look at it again i’m not actually sure that is a shotgun it looks a little more like an air powered dart rifle.
I thought that at first as well avorin, but on the Forum Rick confirmed its a Shotgun
I’m starting to wonder just how many times Grape has whacked somebody in the face using a broom…
I think this was her first time.
Awww she found her destination. =3
I believe it’ll be the second time if you remember this:
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/08/13/stick-em-up/
an old comic into the future. =3
I fail at using “”
Dx
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I fail ay using the italicize function! Dx
*Walks away depressed*
Grape is older there…
She is. Which is why I posted it: Kitten Grape using the broom is the first time. Then up to that point in time, it becomes the SECOND time she’s used it.
I meant how many times total.
That third panel serves no other purpose than to tease!
Also, Do a death roll!
As someone said earlier – Max, no foreshadowing in a flashback!
Once again women are scary awesome
Starting to think Max’s ear is going to be like Crispin Glover losing his arm in hot tub time machine xD
Whoa, it’s amazing what a kitten THAT small can do. O.O
anyone notice that the guy with the gun is the same guy in the “neighborhood watch” sign!?!?
That’s what Max said the first time he saw him.
oh yea, now i remember :3 it must not have rung a bell the first time
thanks!
Action!Grape is best Grape.
Yeesh, and here i always thought my cat was good at fighting
Ah, Grape, you’re being pretty epic.
I just realized how they’re going to get out of this. It’s a little crazy, buy they will need; a new broom, a grappling hook, 3 pounds of C-4, some jumper cables, a cherry pie, and the mission impossible theme song. Ready, GO!!
I sense an Ear biting in the making
He really didn’t have to distract the crocodile. I man it’s not like crocodiles are faster than kitties and dogs on land. :p
Crocogator. =P
That actually makes more sense. xD
So… the gun’s visible but her still looks like the guy from the neighborhood watch poster? xD
Looks more like ten gallons of tailwhipping in a ten ounce kitten to me.
First censored but obvious swears, then blood, now a real gun, with real bullets. Darker and edgier pg to the max! And remember, you get one free uncensored s-bomb with that pg rating, but only one, so use it wisely.
That’s one per episode. How long does a Housepeys episode last? Is it equivalent to one arc?
I’m not sure, but it would still be awesome if rick used it, thought I seriously doubt he would. It would be even more awesome if it came from somebody who wasn’t king, since he is currently the only character with four letter word privileges.
Poor Fluffy, I’m sure this isn’t the birthday present he had hoped for
*not* being sympathetic to gator until proven he didn’t want to eat his ‘presents’
They weren’t his presents!
They were just forcibly trapped guests. What type of party doesn’t have guests?
That’s my theory as well.
Well, he DID refer to them as ‘toys,’ and he has a shotgun, so I’m not so sure that they are ‘guests.’
Phantom Blot guest-stars on a very special ‘Housepets!’
you know if there are this many people commenting then there twice as many that don’t comment. if so, why aren’t you at the top of TWC?
I bet that that bite mark on Maxes ear is peanuts fault… He tries to save the day and ends up wounding max……
Nooooo D: I “just” found this webcomic today and i already read each one ;_; Now ive caught up and have to wait another full day for one more… This comic.. SO awesome <3

Why do I feel like fluffy will be a good guy in the end?
I wonder if that alt text was serious, since this IS a role-playing game to certain cosmic beings.
You know I hope if he does another back story arc like this, it tells the story of the Cosmic Nerds. I mean I know its a lot to cover considering they are Tens (heck maybe Hundreds or even Millions) of Thousands of years old but he could do like a quick over view of a bunch of important stuff and end the arc with them choosing to play the U&U game and picking the Housepets Universe to do it in.
LOL Grape just ninja-ed those guys. GO GRAPE!!!!!!!!!!!
Karate kitteh!!!!!! XD
Is it just me or is the creeper holding a daisy bb gun?
Also this is going to have some odd twist to it like no comes to Fluffy’s b-day is ’cause s/he is an alligator and the creeper owner kidnapped some local pets to take to Fluffy’s b-day bash instead of just asking them. I’m sure Grape would have went willingly.
An even better twist would be that there was no odd twist.
