Mmmm... Barbecued Fruit Pie.

Our first lok at Grape in the new style. looks as though she stayed about the same, just like Peanut

I must say, coming back from christmas vacation to see this on the Housepets site was a wonderful surprise!
Great Job Rick, this was by far the best Christmas strip any of us could ever have asked for =)

Now I'm just waiting for Peanut's sweet messenger bag. I'm thinking he got it for Christmas. :3

Yes! New style Grape! Glad to see them back.

Peanut pretty much looks the same, yes. Though Grape looks like her design has been slightly simplified. Still looks awesome though

Sounds amazing, doesn't it?

No, Rick, I most certainly didn't.

Nice seeing these two again!

Peanut looks super adorable.

What will the world do without Hostess?

Lose about 20 pounds...

No. Discover Tastykake and put on 40 more. :p

wait

wait

who are these two

Barnicle Beat and Misses Pete.

Typo in the alt-text.

I mean, uh-- hey, I liked this strip. It had that nice cat I like and that cool dog I also like.

I know I said that already, but I feel all the time need to say it again.

Peanut looks super adorable in this strip.

I never even had a hostess before Hostess went under!

Sounds like a nice Christmas tradition for kids anyway.

Golden eyes, purple nose.... Hmm, looks like Grape to me.

You're not missing much. Though their barbecue-flavored fruit pies were okay.

I liked their snack cakes... those little chocolate one with the white swirls.

Which you can literally get from anybody.

Why I am not so sad that Hostess went belly up.

As long as my Laffy Taffys aren't touched, i'm perfectly happy.

Lol loving them in the new style Keene looks great.

Sometimes i wonder if Rick is worried Karishad may come to life when he draws him in this comic. The first panel practically shows how anxious he's waiting for something.

Plotting something...

Oh, and is that a IPad2? =3

but Karishad is alive.

so am I to assume Kari made them lose what they lost for the purpose of the pun?

I'm sure he does. Just wait until the one in the comic comes to life and tries to nom on his ear. X3

And I'm sure those are movies back there, but I think two of those movies are called "The Code" and "The Code 2"?

I would say Karishad looks adorable in the first panel and I want to hug him, but I feel like if I hugged him I'd lose my wallet and possibly a kidney.

give him some credit, Sleet.
you'd also lose your glasses

The new style begins to grow its beard, yes.

I'm as dense as lead right about now, so... what is it Kari wanted to say?

He was going to say "I guess you could say they really dropped the ball." since at New Years a huge ball will usually drop in Time Square and other places to bring in the new year.

Season 3 of Housepets!

So when are all the characters going to literally grow beards?

When Karishad becomes first officer of Keene's ship. =3

They should grow mustaches instead. It's sillier.

Oi, that face in the first panel.... makes me wary. I feel like he'd pounce on anything that moved!

I feel like Rick is trying to hint at something here, like this strip is in code.....

heh. Good to see Peanut acting like an actual dog.
yet another similarity between me and Peanut, casue i did this when I heard my mom cutting up an apple last night

Peanuts all like “Hey, whats that?”

Poor Homer.

I mean ~ Doh!

What was Peanut even doing back there?
