What is love? >.<
baby don’t hurt me.
don’t hurt me~
No more. *headbang*
You guys, just made my day.
And mine xD
this song has gotten onto all the iPods I’ve had and it has never once bin in my iTunes library; EVER, but i have it.. somehow…
NO! i just go that song out of my head!!!
AKKK!
… I love you XD thanks for that pick me up. Made my day, too.
Totally made my day! Other than this, my Valentines day sucked. Though Dido’s could be really effective for a boy I’m friends with.
Love Is: Having someone find you a fresh heart in the middle of winter.
I Second that
I wish i could have gotten that card form her <3
ENTIRELY PLATONIC
Fido so adorable.
and buff, more so than usual.
He’s gotten more buff since he was a puppy and onward.
Its too bad I was too late seeing these. Giving thee out would be awesome!
I would guess that Sabrina has them or made him take them off, because she likes him better with out them. Luceretia,Zach,Fido, and Res is the order I like them in from most to least.
Lucretia wins people over with her fresh animal heart.
And yet again we avoid seeing her drenched in the blood of her kill
I kinda disagree with you. I like, in order from most to least, Res, Luceretia, Zach, then Fido. But its just my opinion.
Win! X3
Fido and Zach look so cute with their expressions.
That’s right, Zachary. Jump into the vat of liquid coco. I promise to put breathing holes in the shell when it dries, and you’ll be free by tomorrow evening at the latest.
Bino’s Jealous of his brother. xD
Whatever you do, Zach: Don’t fall for the egg jokes!
And Res’s wall of text… @_@
Well he’s a book writer, so it could be expected.
Would be even worse if he was a Russian blue…
Those darned Russian writers, they go on and on and on…
And one want to explain the Fido thing. I don’t get it. :l
Fido can’t admit he’s in love with Sabrina, so he’s saying their relationship is purely platonic. Platonic means non-sexual.
Who’s his GF and who would object?
He’s not wearing any glasses. Remember what he did before we saw Sabrina the first time?
I didn’t notice at first because the blush kind of drowns out that it’s his eye spot and not his glasses. My thought was that he accidentally left his glasses over at Sabrina’s house and didn’t notice until he went to the Good Ol’ Dogs club, but I was under the impression that he actually needs his glasses (especially since we saw him with them as a pup), unlike the other K9s.
He’s acting like when Sasha said she was gonna make out with him. Remember “n-ple Date”?
Haha. Very true!
“Bino, your Valentines gifts suck again. I’m going to go make out with your brother. FIDO, TAKE OFF YOUR GLASSES!!!”
We haven’t seen Sasha in awhile…
yeah, i don’t think he “needs” them still, because if i remember correctly he usually isn’t wearing them at night, and some other times too….
as far as a reason goes, i don’t really have any good guesses
Rick,
Let us reflect on the entirely platonic quality of our friendship. Alternately, be my Valentine? = P
Aww, Lucretia, you’re so thoughtful…ewww….
I’m sure a wolf would appreciate that kind of gift?
At least my dog would.
Almost as good as a Saso valentine!
Fresh heart in the middle of winter…
oh i get it
Because Sabrina is right next to him off panel and she’s wearing the glasses in seductive manner, hence the Fido’s blush. Teasing the poor dog with her feline elegance.
Just kidding, Spo stole them.
I see what you did there. heheh!
Easy, cause you don’t want us to use the horatio meme on what Fido said.
Fido is hilarious. I’m really interested to see what he will do when he gets found out by the other dogs – Deny any and all relationships he ever had with the cat to preserve his status with the K9 community, or show how loyal and faithful a dog should be to his lady. I look forward to the day we find out just what kind of canine Fido really is…
“I look forward to the day we find out just what kind of canine Fido really is…”
He’s actually a cat in disguise…no wait that’s his brother.
who, Bino?? Wait, what?
Joey
I’d love to give one of these to my boyfriend, but I don’t think he reads this comic *is sad*
Give one to him anyway.
Agreed
Better than ever. Love the run-off on Res’s card. And Fido knows how to play it safe.
Not even gonna try. But the easiest answer is that he’s inside.
Heh heh. can’t wait to print these out and distribute to my floor on the 14th. It shall be hilarious.
Wait, I think I now why there are no sunglasses! Because the tint would clash with the colour of his blushing and It keeps anyone from making a one liner about him wearing them?
also, Alt text: “Try and guess why Fido doesn’t have any sunglasses”
The first “and” was suposed to be an “or”
i think and might be the right word though.
“and”*
(forgot the quotes ;/ )
@hirple – Give him one anyway, then he’ll have to read the comic to find out what it means! Reader recruiting!
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. XD
Hmmm Res having his own valentines day card? “My Arc senses are *tingling”
*Idk if it’s good or bad
Ah the yearly valentines, always so cute. <3
Also I am disappointed in you Res. I expected yours to be the most poetic of them all! >:(
I don’t usually enjoy valentine’s cards but I think it would be hilarious to leave Fido’s for random people to find.
Res’ face is so adorably heartbroken. I almost want to see Grape and him together. (Almost)
And I’m printing Lucretia’s and sending it. That is just… The best wolfy valentines card ever made. <3
Heartbroken? He looks distinctly hopeful to me.
That’s what I was thinking. His mouth is curved upwards aka smiling… well not really that much. Too shy to show any real emotion!
It’s more of a, “Love me? Please?” expression. He knows what he wants but he is afraid to get it!
He has the “Fluttershy expression”
“Would you like me back? That is, if it’s not of too much disturb…”
He looks a little disgruntled at least. He clearly had trouble with that card.
Res is so adoreably terrified…
anybody else have the perfect friend for each card? XD
Lucretia wants Zach to eat the heart….kidding.
Actually that kind of makes sense, I mean I would assume that whatever is being requested of Zach is ultimately up to the reader, but for imagination-deficient folk such as me, that fits
He is a vegetarian after all
He’s holding them behind his back.
Dang… it’s already Valentines day? O_o” Man I keep loosing these stuff all on my own. :/
Anyways still nice cards as always Rick. Res is a good one.
The question then is whether this is Fido in the past still coming to terms with being in love with a cat, or if Sasha is coming on to him again…
aww….
Fido ain’t so tough wiht out his sunglasses
without*
The first one is really clever, lol.
These came out really cute x3
she is still wearing that “sniff the cook” thing??
No Bailey? =(
WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO!?
guess will have to wait til next year….
She’s too minor to have one yet, she’s only appeared in one arc.
anyone notice fido has a weird black ring around his eye
Brown, actually. Housepets Babies Story arc.
Also, it’s more of a brown spot when he has his eyes closed.
Maybe its cuz he doesn’t have his sunglasses.
You could still see the brown spot/ring with/without his sunglasses. =P
It’s a brown patch, Fido and Joey both have patches, just on opposite eyes.
We haven’t seen Joey since September!
Eww
The fresh heart thing I mean xD
Fido isn’t wearing glasses because he doesn’t to miss out on the shining radiance coming off of all this love.
Or maybe all that loving radience was reflecting off his glasses into his eyes…
Lucretia and Res are my favorite ones! And Zach’s expression is priceless.
Fresh heart. Do want.
Lucretia is so daaaw in this picture, wish we saw her as a pup
Miles and Lucretia are older than the others. They probably already had their eldest pup around the time of “Housepets Babies”.
aww, poor zach. all the puppies and kittens chasing him for eggs
Not yet…but soon.
Fido’s a bit hot under the collar, heh.
Zachary’s is my absolute favorite.
It made me giggle but who would you actually give that to?
How come you always pick icons of characters extremely surprised or scared? Are you afraid of us?
To answer your question: no. I simply think that Rick’s style of drawing expressions of fear and surprise are always hilarious and awesome.
Hehe. I approve of your choices. Fox and Miles are cute. Poor scared puppydogs!
Great cards as always, Rick. I think Zach wins this round.
It’s easier for Rick to draw him blushing without sunglasses.
And why does mo—— of sk—– get moderated?
Mochacchino of Skittles? Eww.
Mountain of Skulls!
There’s an e-mail address for the moderation team listed in the comment guidelines. That is the preferred method for asking such questions.
Ah, no, I think not. It’s such a strange bane, I thought perhaps the story would be amusing, but if it isn’t, well, let it lie.
Sorry to disappoint, but the answer is basically “we wish we knew.” Feel free to resubmit your comment so someone can manually approve it.
I kind of want to see Max’s Valentines card redrawn in the new style. With his trademark grin, of course.
Huh, it was changed. When did that happen!?
Last Valentine’s, silly. But only through the links to the large version – the archive has the old version.
Yeah, it seems every time I did a Google search or looked through the archive or forum the old one would be the result so I didn’t even know there was a new one.
Rick rarely uses the blog/writes a comment when he posts a comic, so I probably didn’t even notice he said something on last year’s post!
I lack a person to give valentines cards to, Maybe I should hand them out randomly just to utterly confuse people… I should also Frolic from person to person, Sounds fun
Sir, You should go to every gang in every ghetto neighbor hood and do that.
Res gets a card, that’s awesome.
that and his appearance in the recent arc has me thinking Res won’t be background character like Uncle Ruben! Hooray! Love Triangle for Grape!
It already was a triangle, what with Peanut and all! Now it’s a love quadrilateral! Or even love pentagon, given that Tarot’s in the mix too (love pentagram?? XD).
Add Fox to the mix (since everyone else has been!) and you’ve got a love hexagon. As in, Tarot will hex anyone who goes after Peanut, even Spirit Dragon.
if we’re counting the dragon wouldn’t it already be a hexagon?
Let’s leave this as a love polygon of n-sides.
Tarot gets her power to hex people from Dragon, so wouldn’t that be pretty awkward?
Love Geometry get pretty complicated, it could be it’s own math subject.
Love Geometry is most definitely non-Euclidian.
I somewhat expected something like that for Res, being a coveted writer
WOW it’s so epic
Fido is without glass and with blush because… It’s Sabrina’s fault, isn’t it? It’s totally Sabrina.
Nah, Sasha more likey, hence the “platonic” part. XD
I still love max’s card from last year XD… classic
When i saw these this morning i got a bad feeling that today wasnt going to go well then when i got to school my boyfriend broke up with me *sigh* at least Rez will always be here for me.YAY HOUSEPETS!!!!!
*Res
awesome
adorable
i now this is a dumb question, what happened to Fido’s sunglasses?
Alt text says we must guess.
They were lost at Black Mesa…
Maybe Max took them. Or Bino. Or any other character. Maybe even Sabrina.
c’mon guys that one is easy.
its obvious that sabrina was talking with fido, then she took him by his glasses, and pulling them away she got close to him slowly with a passion that he knew it was going to bring trouble, then she purred over his neck and then approaching her face to his lips…
she PUSH him in front of the camera for the photo!
leaving a really blushed and conffuss doggie.
See? piece of bread.
I used to give valentines cards. But then I took a Jr. High to the life.
PWNED!
in the leisure time…
Of all the years and all the pets, Max still has the best, followed by Sabrina.
I would actually be very interested in hearing the rest of Res’ rant. =P
Fido totally is in a fully platonic relationship. Moreso than Peanut. Maybe they shoudl talk about things. *giggles*
yay! boys talk!…..
ahem…
i mean a MEN TO MEN TALK.
SABRINA HAS THEM!!
(mods, if the avatar has STILL yet to change, PLEASE delete ASAP)
I just noticed that this year’s printable valentines look to have been inked physically. Is that just my eyes?
They were, I have been doing physical inks for a while.
Ha love in the air this week this black fox is going to get love from his black cat I mite get the res card
also all 3 of the Fido clan (FBJ?) have been in a valentine’s card now
I need to start taking bets on how long it takes for someone to change their avatar to use a portion of the latest comic because its inevitable.
I love Res’ card. Adorable~!
Just… just stop, Res, it’s okay. XD
I could write on the merits of concision all day.
Happy Valentines Day you guys! <3
-Giggles- <3 Zach -glomples him an snuggles-
I handed all of the Valentines that you’ve made and everyone loved them!
Not gonna lie i thought that was BINO until i saw his tag…….
That’s odd, since they don’t look that similar. = P
I agree with you. Pretty weird.
