I like this one the art style is cute. There really isn't much of a joke but that's no big deal.

I think the text was a little hard to read, but it didn't really detract from the comic's funniness.

That was facetiousness, Val.

It's just a cute comic.

Argh man, I think Rick missed an opportunity to be funny (I think), by making chocolate milk intoxicating, as opposed to orange soda. To large dogs at the very least, it isn't (terribly) harmful in quantities that low, like a piece of milk chocolate, or chocolate milk. Dark chocolate on the other hand...

Also, I'm really liking the daily updates

I think that any comic that is supposed to be funny must be explained to the reader, funny is NOT.
Unless, this time, it was just a cute piece with no meaning at all than being cute. I'm OK with that.

Very cute. I doubt that Marvin would try to kill Zach; Tiger on the other hand...

I can't wait to see the next one! :D

Here are the cliff notes (which I can get away with providing since I don't have to do this for every strip):

-The comic was inspired by this youtube video, which made me giggle
-In panel 2 it's established that zach is watching a test pattern, which is what some TV stations used to air after hours or when there was a problem at the broadcasting station. The idea that this would somehow have a calming effect on Zach was pretty funny to me.
-Typically housepets strips will end with one character shouting indignantly in the last panel; I thought I would flip the script on this one and put the shouting in the first panel.
-I did not take into account chocolate toxicosis when I wrote this strip or consider that anyone might get hung up on it. Nobody is trying to poison Zach.
-Tiger is nearly always shown with some kind of food gag, I thought it would be funny if there was the silent implication that there are some foods (i.e. vegetables) that he just straight up will not eat, and so therefore has no problem sharing them with Zach.

you're welcome

Dohmahgawd, it's Root. I love your comic!

And Tiger, I assume, is fine with vegetables at least if they're on pizza. If not, Jerry should take note.

This is my favorite, so far (at least partially due to the alt-text, admittedly). Good work, guys!

Also, Zander gets a shout-out for featuring Joey, my all-time fave.

Wow, once I saw the strip, I thought "This looks like Valerio's doing..." and then I saw what was written on the bottom xD

Great job with the drawing, Light!

The Richter scale is logarithmic so it would be 8.

Anyway, the comic is super cute. And the alt text is really funny.
