I'm not sure if I can resist the temptation to sketch that.

Wouldn't you want to have Grape bribe hollywood with Paris's mass fortune love funds to send a hollywood version of Grape to Max, which Max could never tell the difference?

Afterall, Paris would consider a purple cat a messiah of love.

the next one-off will be titled "The Artist Makes No Claims"

I have no Idea what it will be about.

Sasha met Duchess during the commercial Sasha starred in. She is the girlfriend of the mysterious Golden Retriever. That is why they are at the Dog Show, to cheer him on. We will soon know his name.

Duchess is a guy. That's why he called Sasha cute - he's hitting on her.

but she said "as far as gender goes, we're missing nothing" implying that (s)he and Sasha are of the same gender.
...
SASHA'S A DUDE!!!

Also there is this quote by Rick saying she is female

Grape (As Mrs. B): My Husband! *sees the Blood* What is that?!?
Maxwell (As MacBeth): *Looks around nervously* Blood. *To Mrs. B* My Lady, see if you can find any other clues, i'll be examining this. *Looks at the daggers* ...Hope this is not Duncan's Blood.

Hi guys! This is a theory I’ve had for a while, since after the two Pete/King arcs. As my name may indicate, I’m a fan of Batman and other superheroes. This idea came to me because I figured I could explain it with stuff from the strip.

Throughout the series, we have seen:

Talking tigers: http://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/10/15/in-what-furnace-was-thy-brain/

Cosmic beings able to manipulate reality (and change humans into different forms): http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/12/02/an-undigested-bit-of-beef/

And the notion of superheroes (which doesn’t mean that there haven’t been any real superheroes): http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/07/28/the-problem-with-shared-universes/

Due to these, I like to believe that sometime in the mid 1940s, a tiger named “Mr. Tawky-Tawny,” having been civilized a bit more successfully than Miles has been, moved to New York City and became a private detective. During the first few years he was active, Tawky-Tawny worked closely with Billy Batson, the young vessel for the "Captain Marvel” djinn created by the “wizard” Shazam.

Also, I like to think that Pete got into Heaven cuz it was the Spectre’s off-day. (nerd)

At some point, Rick will do an arc that is a blatantly subtle reference to Team Fortress 2. Without breaking rating.

I'm a bit surprised he didn't try something like that with the Water Balloon War arc.

Edit: So I don't double post I want to throw this out here just in case. Rick said that something in the next strip might make people angry ("get him lynched" to paraphrase him) I suspected (as I said on twitter) its either Shipping related or Cosmic Nerd Related (or possibly both) but to throw out another possibility: Since Macbeth has a lot to do with Prophecies and what not, we could finally find out what the Prophecy Tarot told Grape and Peanut back in N-Piled Date is all about. (which actually could have to do with Shipping but that's kind of beside the point) Edit 2: Never mind Rick was just over reacting.

This arc will finally confirm what we've all long suspected; Uncle Reuben is a time traveler from the ancient Aztecs who accidentally t'-trav'ed himself to the 21st century and moved to a quiet farm in the states to tirelessly pursue his goal of going back home. Unfortunately, the only way he would be able to obtain the relics of time travel was to turn to thievery.

Each arc from here on out will feature a well-known forum member as a villian.

Sleet stole the Aztec gold.

I would love for this to be true. or at least for there to be cameos.

The crocodile from the Zoo has secretly been planning to kidnap Tarot for some time now, now knowing through the zoo that she's the avatar of Spirit Dragon. However, what we do not know is Spirit Dragon is a princess and the crocodile is from a long line of Koopas. After capturing Princess Spirit Dragon (and Tarot), it's up to Peanut with the help of his Purple cat to rescue Princess Spirit Dragon (and Tarot) and get a royal kiss from Princess Spirit Dragon (and Tarot)

The reason I can see this NOT happening is because the instant someone found out that Rick was doing it, EVERYONE would want a cameo.

then limit it to moderators.

the ferrets stole the artifacts

Someone will be mad for me saying this but it might be a dream, within a dream, within a dream, within peanuts mind!

Here's the thing we know that they are more likely then not just the starting points for the players of the game. (I guess its still possible they it is something else but I find that highly unlikely at this point.) And if Dragon was sent to contain him in the Temple (it wasn't a cave) she would have acted more directly to stop them from freeing him, all she wanted to do was stop Pete from getting Grape as an Avatar (for reasons we don't yet understand) nothing more. Remember she even said that Grape and Peanut shouldn't worry about him after he was freed since there was nothing they could do about him. The danger had passed,Grape had rejected him as an Avatar. The "Beginning of the End" stuff she was talking about was nothing more then the beginning of the end of their little game.

Then you have what King said to Sabrina in "Not all Dogs" that "...A bunch of Larpers playing on Private Property." that Sabrina agreed with. I think everyone is over hyping The Cosmic Nerds. I truly believe they really are just that a bunch of Nerds playing a game similar to D&D, and I have been shown nothing to suggest otherwise. They are just a bunch of petty Nerds, nothing more, there is more likely then not no really good reason they are playing this stupid game and truth be told if there is a grand reason (like to save the universe or to become a god or something like that) then this comic will most likely Cerberus Syndrome right away after that and everyone knows it. I could be wrong about their reasons for playing the game of course but I highly, highly doubt that, as nothing has been shown that shows they are playing it for any really good reason. Remember even Rick said not to believe everything every character said as they could be lying or misinformed. (Now yes Sabrina agreeing with King could be her being misinformed or her lying to him about the game, however I take it on face value right now since it goes with everything else that has been shown up to this point)

Actually I think I going to throw this idea out there: Everyone's been saying that The Cosmic Nerds represent the D&D Alignment system (Pete= Evil Dragon= Good and Kitsune= Neutral) But what if they also are different types of liers? Pete will use deception and tricks to get what he wants, Dragon is prone to exaggeration and hyperbole, and Kitsune well I don't know enough about him to really guess. I know this is most likely crazy but I think I might be on to something here. So I'm going to run with it. Even if I'm wrong about what they represent (which is very, very, very likely since I came up with that idea like 2 minutes before writing it) I still think my idea about Dragon being prone to exaggeration and hyperbole might really be true.

If that's the case, I'd tell them to get out of my universe, we don't want them messing around with our lives and souls anymore. -_-

I think the Aztec gold of the current arc may carry a curse with it.

The bats are the new main characters.

The thieves won't be able to die until the gold is returned to its original place. Out of all the gold, only one coin will remain missing, and the one who has it will be Joey. But Sasha will be the key to lifting the curse.

Then Maxwell will be in a ghost story... again xD

"The town of Tzinacatlan in Chiapas (Mexico) is inhabited by the Tzoctziles (people of the bat) from the Mayan family and the town of Tzinacantepec in the valley of Toluca. In the Popol Vuh (Mayan Bible), the bat is a great angel who descended from heaven in order to behead the first Mayan people, who were made of wood. He is the same heavenly Bat who in the Popol Vuh advised Ixbalanque and Hunab Ku what they should do in order to become victorious in the ordeal within the cavern of the Bat God.

We find the Tzinacan (bat) sketched upon steles, codices, and Mayan vessels holding the livery of the God of the air. He is shown with a nasal appendage and triangular teeth that protrude downwardly from the commissures of his lips. He was always sketched on Aztec hearths, goblets, and basins, like the vampires from the hot lands of the south of Mexico.

The Bat God has the power to heal any type of sickness; yet, he also has the power of cutting the silver cord of life that unites the physical body to the soul."

Im posting this here, since The Aztecs had a relation to the Mayan bat god. Bats Stole the Aztec Artifacs. Mystical creatures alreandy appeared. So, Its just for fun. If more persons want to see wires betwen bats and the artifacts... Thing that is happening now in the comic....

Hey Miles King ford...

Dont Fear to use your creativity! Nothing can stop us from thinking, from imagining! We have the right to do what we want, belive what we want, guess what we want...

This is the Basic of freedow!

I can say more, if someone prevents you from telling your guess, or insult you because of that, this person will not be a HUMAN but rather a evil personification of Authoritarianism!

No guess is impossible, nothing is impossible! So dont fear to tell!

Sabrina stole the gold for imprtant magical purposes.
Fido won't know what to do and will quit the force.

I could see this happening.

Or else he and Sabrina are now known to the K9s, and Kevin blabs one day. Dog Civil War commences.

That mark on the back of the truck? Kevin's head print as he tackled the boxes. He was sent to hide and guard the gold during transport, but got excited when he saw something shiny in it. He tackled the boxes to peek in, and when he saw that he had broken something, he got nervous and hid it by burying it in a field behind the stop. This has become a K9 cover up to help Kevin out.......

No one will ever speak of it after the cover up becomes successful.

that's real dark brosef
I like it!

Fido ends up looking for advice on dating cats, and for totally not so suspicious reasons, asks for Maxwell's help. Of course, we all know the only reason Maxwell is giving expertly crafted advice in dating cats is because Maxwell happens to be giving Fido advice on how he use to date Sabrina, which Fido only finds suspicious at the last second but it nevertheless keeps everything solid for the two!

Then we reveal it was all a master plan by Grape and she used Maxwell's previous history with Sabrina as the perfect advice for Fido. She only wanted to keep Sabrina in good terms with Fido and pretty much used this whole scenario as a test for Maxwell since he's such a loudmouth!

Everything looks perfectly fine! ... until a dead chicken arrives at Peanut's dog house. DUN DUN DUN~

Every female Housepets character is magic

My counter: Grape.

She was able to hide the fact that she's female from everyone despite being naked all the time.
