Housepets!

Its about time this got out. Been waiting for this one for quite some time.

YOU WHAT !?!?! ... wait we already knew this

WOOO.

Been waiting for this for a while. Fox doesn't look too pleased. Nice to see Grape back to being a girl.

Good Strip.

da da da daaaaaa!
Alea iacta est!
Showtime!

Wow. Max is shocked, Fox is shocked (and looks downright broken, really), and Bino can finally have something to belittle his older brother about. Peanut, Grape, and Tarot, however, just another show.

I know we all knew this was coming but still... wow. I love seeing everyone's reaction to it.

It almost seems like a fanfinc becoming reality. I have no idea how this will affect the rest of the story but odds are things are going to be VERY Different from now on. At least for Fido.

aaaaand, nice to see King and Bailey again!

Also I guess Max didn't know. Though that could be just surprise from Fido actually making the announcement itself

Even Kevin could not do anything with Max.

Grape likes her beard apparently.

"Why were you watching a cat wedding in the first place?"
I think Duchess sees through Bino's hatred of cat lovers.

You'll recall Fox doesn't much care for cat-lovers.

I think Fox's mind is shattered... I hope he's okay.

7th panel seems to have the best reaction of them all.

*gasp*
...
oh wait, we knew this already :/


I assume Pokemon is happening in panel 7? the question is, X or Y?
oh wait, this arc started before it was released, which means that isn't temporally possible, unless Housepets universe got it early. dangit, everyone got it before America

Well, well, it finally comes out, and even the alt text is surprised! Max looks like he’s doing what he indicated, and had no idea that Sabrina was into dogs.

I didn't see it coming that Fox would be affected so much as is hinted at, but that makes sense, and this will shake things up around Babylon Gardens. Fox it seems may have some food for thought about some of his social views, a nice development. Grape, Peanut and Tarot don't seem too surprised, we know that they knew (presume it in Tarot's case). Spit takes can be very amusing, and this one had me giggling. Ralph and Miles will probably also have a nice pair of surprise faces, and Jata should have something to say on that, I believe.

wait a minute, why is fox sitting between King and Bailey? I mean, I understand it from a framing point of view, his mind shattering had to be front and center, but in universe it doesn't make much sense. =P

Well, duh . . . the reveal doesn't have to give new information to the audience to be dramatic

He was in the other room when he heard that Fido was on the television. Answered.

That's what made this arc possible, otherwise we'd all have no idea. This has been waiting to come out for awhile it would seem, the results are quite fun to ponder

I feel bad for Fido, Fox's friendship is on the line.

*spit takes*

I HAD NO IDEA. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE! *runs out panicking*

WOW!

My mind can't process all the drama. XP

Xane wrote:Fox is a jerk if he gives Fido a hard time about this after what Grape did for him.

I dont think he would be mad because of that, they are really good/close friends, Fox might take it like if Fido didn´t trust him by not telling him ... and that would be a good excuse for giving Fido a hard time ...

don't get me wrong, my gasp wasn't sarcastic, it was joking. The reveal is perfectly dramatic, as are the reactions

makes sense

For those of you who don't know this, Max is drinking Powerade. Replenish those electrolytes Max!

Why was Bino watching the wedding? Why, so he can complain about how cats are so horrible and hideous they even condone shotgun weddings, of course!

Complete agreement on all these statements!

Either Rick is not sure if he wants Joel/King and Bailey to be toghether forever, or their marriage went into a crisis way sooner than even I expected!

I think Fox looks betrayed because he never even suspected that such a close friend from childhood who he thought he knew like the palm of his.. pawhand? could hold such an unusual secret!

Having noticed, what's up with Fido's shades in panel one? Did they take a break from being sunglasses?

Those reactions...majesty. Pure majesty.

This is probably one of my favorite moments in the comic's history. Bino's bit killed me.

Who is "he"? King or Fox?

Ah love the most powerful force! Go get her Fido, don't even care what the others will say about you! I think Peanut is playing Animal Crossing or Pokemon X/Y

And there... we.. go! Start that coup Bino. Arise to power amidst the chaos! I can already see Spo yelling, "Chaaaaarge! Fido is going to choke a.." - "STILL NOT HELPING SPO!"

max's toughts: SHE LEFT ME FOR A D0GE????!!!

Also: I know Sasha is with Kevin and had not shown any dating trials with Fido but hearing this, she must be shocked too. " I loved a cat LOVER¿¿¿¿¿¿"

We're forced to watch on our Tee-Vees
scenes coming from just up the hill.
We'd wondered what Sabrina may say
but this is different, for good or ill.

What did he just say? What did he profess?
My ears are up and my face is falling.
I'm stunned and shaken down to the core
(and he's set himself up for a mauling.)

It's great drama for those spectators
chewing corn on their home settee
as his family rants and paranoia raves
while he tests his corps' loyal esprit.
Now he's professed it, where shall they go?
Will she intervene or have Jata bury Fido?

Well stated Fido, well stated. All I can say is, any one of the characters give him trouble this (though I'll probably exempt Bino on this one, since I'm pretty sure he will), I'll be a bit sour at them. I dunno, in my opinion, Fido is risking a lot by making such a statement. So he earns a lot more respect from me.

I think 'he' is referring to Fox, since it looks like King has been on that couch for some time now. At least that's what his posture is telling me.

The only theme that can match this moment is this!

That goes with this comic strip is this one, because Jata is basically forcing Sabrina into marrying him due to some childish promise! Plus, Jata is being a high-horse punk.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6W3UYJbT38

Max: Mindblown
Fox: Mindbroken
King and Bailey: "yeah, about that..."
Grape, Peanut, and Tarot: Not a single care was given
I really wonder how Jata will respond to that. I don't think he'd be completely mindblown...
Also, "WHAT IS EVEN THIS DOG". I literally laughed out loud when I read that!

Seventh panel is the best! Come on, pass me the pop corn, this is getting super interesting! Something tells me that the three of them already know what's going to happen next. Tarot you cheater! X3

Hehe, this seems like one of those so typical moments in whatever romantic-comedy movie. But come on, this MUST had to happen sooner or later, there was no other way to reveal this, and I think Rick did it pretty well. He left us with the intrigue for the next strip and at the same time made ​​sure to make it clear that no one besides Fido will intervene in this matter (and that's one of the reasons of the last four panels, I think).

Now I want to see Sabrina's face. Will she be happy or worried?

Because he's the third party on that relationship!

The idea of taxidermy in that world seems weird O.o

What I love the most is the punchline. All that build-up of reactions, and Bino starts chewing the scenery with his bragging... only to be knocked down hard. X3 I love it.

Also love everyone's reactions, but I get a kick how Peanut isn't even bothering to look. What would happen if he missed another important detail?

Or Gatorade. But i like to pretend it's a replacement for blood. Because i bet if Max could, he would explode.

PhauxTheFox wrote:The idea of taxidermy in that world seems weird O.o

Well, taxidermy is basically make mummies. If there are mummies of humans in this world and in our world, I don't see why can't exist mummies of animals.

By the way, I want to believe that if Sabrina falls in the pool Fido is going to be the one who saves her.
You know, because I'm starting to think that Dragon will show up and save her at the last moment and then we know how this ends... "or was it?"

Everyone are going to think that all of this was just a dream and everything continues as always.

I love Peanut's expression. He's like "Yeah, I've seen this movie before, you girls are just silly" X3
I think Tarot already told him how this is going to end. She's such a spoilsport.

And yet she's reaching for the popcorn. X3

Yeah, because girls loves this kind of movies.
(well, in this case this is a romantic comedy in live)

How much you wanna bet that the pool is gonna' be seen in every strip now?
I bet 5 cents!
