Re: Cast Off Characters - Who will not return in the New Housepets?
However the problem is that the way it happened makes Marion and everybody else who agreed look bad because people were transformed without having a choice. Just so Marion could get into college and Keene could build up the ECP. It probably put a lot of people off Marion and Keene. It's heavily imp...

Re: 2021/09/28 - Getting Hot In Here
I've always found "Housepets!" to do a great job balancing dramatic story lines with humor. Todd has been a gold mine of it lately. Here's hoping Rick's new direction keeps him happy, so far the return is off to a great start.

Housepets! is a comic that is ever changing and that is good thing. Rick's earned a well earned break to refresh his strips but more importantly just have some fun and time to do whatever he needs to. Proverbial pit stops on the road of life are good.
