Aww, I miss the play! >.<
To be Critical, I liked the Macbeth better, Since Shakespeare has a lot you can do with it Humor wise. I didn’t like Guys and Dolls when I saw it, but that’s just me.

Nice lighting in this strip.
It casts Grape’s sleepy skepticism into sharp relief.
Yeah! I wonder how much time it added to the finished comic o.o
I very much enjoy this. Rick, you should work a bit more on lighting in every comic!
it certainly adds a realistic touch
Seriously. Second Panel Grape would make an awfully good cynical avatar.
Drooling Peanut XD
A lethal combination of cute and ew!
He has dog lips. Even humans drool when they lay down at an awkward angle. I often leak around my six inch fangs when I lay down wrong.
He has dog lips except when he has to do something that requires monkey lips. Like talking.
Talk of dog lips reminds me of the scene in “A Charlie Brown Christmas” when Snoopy kisses Lucy, she freaks out about dog germs and he goes “Bleeah”.
I think the word you were looking for is flews.
That sounds like one of those obscure terms only used by gamekeepers in the southwest of England… and even then they check to see if anyone’s listening before they use them.
I usually call dog lips jowls.
That is alot of information for something that could be described as a “very strong cup!”
I think it could be more accurately described as a “fairly normal tippee-cup”. Maybe slightly reinforced and maybe with a weighted base, but otherwise just a regular toddler’s drinking vessel.
If it doesn’t dissolve when you put coffee in it, it’d make a great travel mug. Except it’s probably impossible to drink out of because of the powerful gyroscopes in the base.
you’re not much into the world of advertisement, aren’t you?
I don’t have any money……
I don’t need to buy it
but you WANT it.
You want it….now…
And to check if it’s still good, open the lid to see if it makes a raspberry noise! Let me check one! *thbbbbt* Ah, still good!
You, sir, have made my day.
I just saw a scene from the beginning of Aladin in this…
Love peanuts’s face and grapes half attempt to look at the telly
You have made me feel inferior about my cup-wielding skills.
I hate having spilled liquids all over my table so I need a cup like that!
Now i just need a table that won’t spill on my cup….*nigahiga reference in advance*
Meant to say something else there…Oh well it still kinda works out…kinda
I googled nigahiga and am now dumber as a result. Thanks a bunch.
He’s a famous youtuber…actual i think the #1 most subscribed on youtube lol
Cup? who needs a cup when i can have my very own tum….bler…..ber… blur…. whaaat?
Ask your Doctor if Tum-Bul-Cup is for you!
Wonder what Peanut’s dreaming about in the third panel as his tail’s a-wagging.
Heh grape lol
Drooling sleeping dog = cute + gross XD
Also, that cup product thingy sound actually AWESOME!
Do not taunt Tum-Bul-Cup.
Aaa Cute!
Grape’s “I’m still asleep but for some reason I am moving and doing this thing” is dead-on!
Fifth panel – Announcer “And now for a limited time only….Pridelands Tum-Bul-Cups!” Grape immediatly snaps awake and calls out “Mooooooooooooooom!”, ironicly waking Peanut for a change.
Must … buy … ridiculous product …. that … I … certainly … dont … need …
Wait ! I dont have to do everything that TV tells me to do … YAY
But if you act now we’ll double the offer and send you TWO Tum-Bul-Cups!
Just pay seperate shipping and handling!
Yes..Yes….BUY IT…..IT’S YOUR DESTINY!!!! @_@
mmmm …. (thinking deeply)
You know what … GIVE ME 20 !!!!
you win this time Tv …
OMG!!! The jedi mind trick actualy worked!!!!!…..@_@ must buy-NO!-NO!!-NOOOO!!!-snap out of it!*slap* Ryufire!!! you almost got me! >:(
My god I have just realised how BEHIND THE POUERCURVE I realy am.!.
Really!Two DAYS behind!
They must be waiting for cartoons or just want background sound. Personally i hate those things
and is too early to ask for Alt Text?
“Sharktoberfest in July is better than regular Sharktoberfest ’cause you only get stupid shark programming for one day, instead of all month.”
Cool thanks!
Or possibly Peanut was watching something and fell asleep, and Grape is herself far too out of it to turn the set off?
The smart money these days is on TVs that turn themselves off on an internal timer. I have mine set for 2.30am. Either I’ve already turned it off anyway, or I’ve fell asleep (so saves the electricity), or it acts as a sign that it would be a very good idea to stop watching / playing games / etc now…
I thought all the TVs had that system (I cant really tell cause I had never used that thing)
Usually i never stay up that late to watch TV because theres nothing to see anyways, soo thats not a problem for me.
Perhaps they dont know\care about the electricity bill
My favorite TV channel is “off”.
So you dont really watch a lot of TV huh?
There are distressingly few shows targeting the ferret demographic. Apart from American Pickers, and there’s only so much of that you can watch.
Rock Milton will come up with plenty of ideas for ferret programming. Has Miles invented television yet?
Rock’s version of American Pickers would have Rock buying the whole store. Every time. For whatever price they want.
It’d be like Pawn Stars except everyone was replaced by Chumley.
Oh my god i love peanut’s face there
slobbering on the couch :3
I’m pretty sure most people slobber on the couch
I know I do
Brick Tamland: I….Love….Cup 0.0
It’s amazing what they invent to make money.
DAWWW!! Peanut wagged in sleep after Grape walked by.
Noticed that too.
Oh Yeah …. He truly love her
Cute!
That sounds like a great cup, to bad no one’s awake to know about it. :<
funny thing is im watching one of these infomertials right now ^_^
Oddly enough I was watching the tail end of a marathon when the comic came online (All be it “McHale’s Navy” and not Shark related programming).
whats grape holding in the last panel? looks like a pastry or a cup but i’m not sure…
She got up to get a cup of water. Which she is competent to carry without spilling even when asleep.
The girl’s got skills. After all she doesn’t want to spill any on herself…the whole cat + water thing.
Soooo… no-one else appreciates the apparent art upgrade in this strip?
Dramatic Lighting was Endorsed in the Second Comment.
honestly, i appreciate it an recognize that it is well done, but it isn’t my preference… unless the tone of the strip overall is going to change, i don’t think it works as well.
again, no disrespect intended, Rick can do what he wants, but that was just my opinion/reaction
awww peanut is cute when he is sleeping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
also i also like your hat
You mean you are i like your hat, or you also like i like your hat, or ???
it doesn’t matter! I like your hat!
heh, grape’s tail has all fluffed up in panel 4.
some commercials can make one nervous
Wow is true
Is way more fluffy
The lighting feels like a new level of Housepets! art. I like it. *smiles and gives thumbs up*
That shading seems to looks better, it might just be me, but isn’t it usually softer.
It’s the TV.
Hey Mom! we want a Tum-Bul-Cup!
Ah, one of those cases where the post text is arguably as good as if not better than the actual comic itself.
In case of death, discontinue use!
Am I the only one who thinks the art is different?
I approve of it, of course, but it seems all of ya’re too busy discussing the cups to commend on the ‘deeper’ art.
THen again, maybe it’s just shaded to make it look dark, and it ‘accidentally’ makes it look more real?
No, there have been several comments about the dramatic lighting.
Peanut sleeps the same way i do.
…but he’s CUTER!
I beg to dif- yea, you’re right.
Now if only I could get one of those cups and combine it with Slushee-Magic, so I could make a slushee drink without the chance of making a mess with it! While wearing my Cuddleuppit! While I use Flex-Seal to fix my leaky gutters and/or roof.
Pretty shadows in this one.
The warranty terms make me second guess buying this product, but tiny knives sound dangerous. I give in!
But he’s not done, order know and they double your offer absolutely free, just pay separate shipping and handling for a spare that you’ll probably never use
Love the position of Grape’s ears in the second frame — eyes closed and apparently running on autopilot, but her ears are still alert and turned in the direction if the… drivel.
I WANT ONE!!!!
=D!!
Garrison awwwws and buys Max a Tum-Bel-Cup.
=D!!
Peanut is just so freaking adorable here!
But I don’t think they will sell many cups.
The disclaimer! OMG! My day is now complete!
A shame Billy Mays is no longer with us. Without his loud, suave voice, warehouses will forever be loaded with cups only idiots need.
Well, it’s said one absorbs more information when it’s asleep, so what does that make Peanut?
i just came to say I’ve got nothing to say just cause i like to say it other than another shot of them asleep on the couch lol
You’re still upset about the mouse, aren’t you?
hmm, what makes you say that.
possibly
do YOU have trouble operating a CUP!!! i know i do x3
“I have a job for you that doesn’t involve walking and carrying hot liquids at the same time!”
“Yers. Thats hurd.”
You looking for a jerb?
Or a box of “Tish, You!”s
infomercials in a nutshell
“what you already own is useless/dangerous! buy this instead!”
And yes, it will blend! Warning: do not attempt to blend.
finite? did you mean “infinte”?
Peanut drool! yuck XD
Only if you’re a couch
Allow four to six weeks for delivery.
I remember back before cable there was only ABC, CBS, NBC and a bunch of public channels run by universities. Then about the time of the first moon landing, a bunch of hippies got together and invented Sesame Street and PBS. Then things took off and got really weird.
Don’t forget the Banana Splits.
They never did figure out where those fursuits came from. They found them in storage with no records associated with them. That almost makes me want to believe in anthropomorphic animal elves.
H. R. Puffnstuff!
They certainly were.
is it me or does grapes snout look off in the fourth panel, she doesnt look like a cat more like a fox or dog. wow my first post on the comments ever and its me pointing out a mistake i feel bad.
I think she’s supposed to be scrunching up her face in annoyance of the lateness of the hour. Reminds me a little of the vanity plate they used to run at the end of the show “Taxi” — A chipper young woman passes her boss in the hall with a happy “Good night, Mr Walters!”, and he just grumbles in response.
Is it sad that I can identify all the items you parody in the television comics? … I’m not sure.
Just spent last night and all of today getting up to date with this web comic, one of the best I have read so far and I have read quite a few
“We are not reliable for any injuries caused by projectile TUM-BUL-CUPs.”
this comic is genuis i havent commented in a long time tho but seriously whathappened to the user thedietpoisoin he dissappeared
We don’t keep track of users.
That TV deserves an Emmy
Is it me or is Peanut looking very fluff lately?
Might be me.. but the art’s making him look very fluff lately
Perhaps it’s Rick’s way of taunting the “X looks buff today” people.
Grape can hold a cup propenly with PAWS. That doesn’t bod well for the Tum-Bul-Cups.
*bode
Grape has the paws that refreshes?
