Well.... I was off. Guess I need to reread it again some day soon. It was a great story.

Panel 3 of Maxwell yelling is actually a panel of Peanut yelling in panel 5.

Somehow I can imagine Grape treating Max similarly in "real life" if they got married (or the closest thing pets could possibly do).

Well, Max/MacBeth isn't the one in control there...

Grape is great at acting, I see. She would never orce someone to kill. She would just do it herself!

I am loving the alt text in this arc. Bringing back a lot of great class readings from High school.

Well Grape is in complete control of this scene (and relationship

)

of course she is. she could beat the crap out of Maxbeth.

A funny twist would be Earl Sandwich as Duncan.

Awww, Max and Grape in a pretend marriage <3 Now is the time to brush up your marriage skillz, you two!

If Grape's death scene is any indication in the water balloon war and her love for sleep, she's going to have alot of fun doing the sleepwalking scene in this =3

Well, what can I say? Grape does a perfect job.

Oh how I wish i could see Maxie's faces from panels 3 & 4

Ketchup...
Catsup...
Ketchup...
Catsup...

...i'm way over my head.

is there a reason the new comic's gone now? I saw it. now I don't. MAGIC!

EDIT: okay, back up. good strip. so much red semi-viscous fluid.

copper · Post by **copper** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 12:06 am

So much Ketchup. They will never be able to wash it from their hands!!

I am loving this so far.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 12:07 am

That's very cat-like of Lady Macbeth.

Or maybe she just likes ketchup.

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 12:07 am

yep she got a little carried away there. Also wow two different types of "blood" interesting

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 12:14 am

Well, obviously Catsup is from a Cat, so...

Blasphemy! Catsup on a Cat!

Rick is Scott Ramsoomair, obviously.

Ahh... another case of Grapes causal and mild violence.

xhunterko · Post by **xhunterko** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 12:12 pm

Well, of course that's to be expected. This IS lady grapebeth we're talking about here.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:04 am

I just noticed how Rick managed to do all these expressions without eyes at all. That's pretty impressive.

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:05 am

And Max just goes and breaks character (I think?). lol I love the first panel it's great.

copper · Post by **copper** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:07 am

This is awesome. Max is the perfect McBeth. He plays him well.

McDuff as the straightman. I never realized that one...

Max is great with that McBeth Line, but Peanut calling him out!? Awesome.

The idea of Tarot with a water pitcher on her head just seems hilariously funny.

Whoa, I completely forgot that Sabrina is playing with them xD

I don't really like this arc :\ Not that I'm complaining or anything, I'm just saying...

What the crap, I read that at least three dozen times and I STILL missed it?

That's still a complaint . . .

Helmetzid · Post by **Helmetzid** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 11:23 am

alex, anyone knows when your trying to give your opinion that sounds like a complaint you say, 'Im not trying to complain but(insert opinion here)' *presses a STAPLES button* "That was easy"

Kyderra · Post by **Kyderra** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 2:40 pm

Alright Alright, everyone be nice now, you know he did not mean it bad.
not everyone knows Macbeth.
I am one of them so i can understand why some might find this arc less interesting then others.

Helmetzid · Post by **Helmetzid** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 3:13 pm

kyderra, im the same, i was just giving a way to say it without sounding annoyed, insulting, or highly critisized

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 3:19 pm

I know what MacBeth is, I don't find it that interesting though.

I kind of like how they're improvising though it in their own way for fun, makes it a bit more interesting and cute.

I wonder if there will be an "accidental mental projection" somewhere along the line?

I wonder if there will be an "accidental mental projection" somewhere along the line?

I had just thought the same thing lol.

EDIT: And you know, since we're now used to the idea of a "murder" and "coughvariousformsoftomatoesaucethatlooklikebloodcoug" in the comic, you think could be setting us up for a 180 and turn it Darker or It Got Worse on us? Just tossing that out there. But, granted, this is a pg comic, I don't see that happening.

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 3:59 pm

No, Housepets! is not going to suddenly get darker just because the pets perform their own version of Macbeth and use ketchup/catsup as a prop.

Post by **Dissension** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 4:47 pm

I agree with Sleet; this arc does not indicate the comic is about to jump ratings or become 'darker.'

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 5:46 pm

Yeah, that's a silly notion at best. acting out Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet is usually a very common trend in acting for school plays.

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 12:04 am

I love the first panel, its just shows how silly and stupid this play is in terms of plot and what not.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 12:08 am

So, who is it doing the narration?

Tarot manages to be adorable pretty much any time she does something silly. And usually when she isn't. Awwwwww.
