I started reading it thanks to the 2011 Ursa Awards, I went there for voting for another webcomic I liked and in the nominees I saw Housepets there. -I remember that I had hear of it before, but I don't recall where and I didn't knew it was a comic - So I checked it out cause if it was nominated it must be good, and I'm very thankful I did.

Did we change your vote? Because that would be awesome if reading Housepets made you change your vote.

Of course ! After only reading the first arcs of the comic it quickly became my favorite !

Excellent~

Yes, one at a time, soon all will be assimil..... um, I mean ALL WILL HAVE FUN!!! Yes, soon we will have an army of "fun" people...

Just curious, Rick, do you have any way of numerically charting readership over time? I'm curious to know how it's been developing.

I wrote it already on another topic, but I do it again here ^^ I found the comic through a Banner on another web-comic (Precocious)

I have the most normal accidental finds for this:
Google images, just typed in "Furry comics" found the strip about Grape and Peanut joking about stuff.

I was at a family reunion and my cousin showed me some of the comic, I end up reading al l the comics in one day and it happened to be my birth day also.

Haven't written here. I have known of the great Housepets! by looking at the other webcomics links in other webcomics discovered before this one. This is still one of the latest discovered webcomics and it's the only which I've got pretty addicted.

I heard about it from my growlithe friend. I told him I read webcomics and he linked me to the site. I was indifferent about it at first, but after the next two strips I was hooked. it was just too awesome to ignore

I was reading some other webcomic some time last year (strange, I don't remember what that comic was) when I found out it had been nominated for some award (Ursa Major, I believe). So I found that comic in the 'best anthropomorphic comic strip' category, but to my dismay, it didn't win first place. HOUSEPETS did. I was like "what! No way this 'housepets' comic is considered better than my webcomic! Imma see what this 'housepets' comic is all about."

So I read an arc. Two arcs. Ten.
I finished the whole archives. Signed up on the forums.
And I never read that old comic again.

I found out about it while reading Sandra & Woo, I believe. I think it was mentioned by someone there.

1st attempt: I followed a link from TV Tropes in 2012 and started the comic from the beginning, but gave up before the black/white strips ended.

2nd attempt: I followed another (same?) link from TV Tropes last fall, picked up where I left off, read to the current strip and have been reading ever since.

What made you give up?

Mainly, I wasn't fond of the early art and I didn't connect with the characters. The big change, I think, was reading them on the ipad the 2nd time - it made scrolling through the series more pleasant. Obviously, the more I read, the more I came to care about the cast of thousands (and natch, the art changed significantly - even within the first dozen I read on attempt #2).

It helps that you can actually tell the characters apart now.

I found out about HP! while I was talking with some friends on a video game. One of them mentioned it, so I figured why not try it out?

I saw a strip on ifunny

Just curious, which strip was it?

Yeah, I'd like to know that, too.

I heard of it on another forum, someone there was a big fan and recommended it, so I decided to check it out and well, here I am.

I saw an add on Awkward Zombie.

I saw Rick's buissness card posted on FA, got the link from the back of it lol.

See? Those business cards are a very good investment!

And he didn't even have to give any out yet!

That's RICK GRIFFIN for ya!

I found it through twokinds,


Was waiting for an update on that comic, and scrolling through the DA comments, someone mentioned reading housepets, and became an avid reader, actually prefer housepets over twokinds.

My friend was telling me about this other site then I looked it up and I told him this is a odd parody version he said no so I wanted to show him the actual version and it was less odd but more funny then sometimes made me sad then happy so I started reading it on my phone 1 hour a day oops sorry for ruining your fantasies of a odd nature my friend

There's an odd parody version?

Yep

What is it?

Its some kind of dirty version I don't know where it is I'll ask my friend were is it

If it is indeed a "dirty" parody, then please keep it to yourself. Discussion of such topics is forbidden in this forum.

Its not that kind of dirty DX Its Like It Has A Weird Looking Different Animation Sorry If You Got That The Wrong Way


I Like This Animation Way Better Though

I do not know what just happened.

I was like "hey it would be cool to make a thread about this." Then, I made a thread (I thought),and then it turns out that I was totally just repeating another thread (this one).

So - I'm sorry! I'm glad that my post got moved into the correct thread, yay!

Anyway, I found out about Housepets from a friend (Super Star) of another web comic series (Bravoman)

One of my friends was talking about it, calling it superior, he linked me a strip that related to something we were talking about (I can't remember which one).
I then spent the next two nights reading it.
