Housepets!

Robotech_Master

I do wonder whether "Be Mine" is a pun on pet ownership, and the arc will look at whether some pets are actually not suited to do without it.

Grape: Haven't you ever heard of a grape jelly...fish?

King: Was it hard to learn to type again with four fingers?

My thought? Marion was chosen at random. Steward just wanted to test the coin. But apparently he was chosen, by name. Steward found a squirrel named Marion to be "interesting," which seemed suspicious in and of itself at the time. And here's a thought to ponder. Is this badger still going...

And in one fell swoop, Lois is convinced forevermore of the existence of supernatural powers.

Now if we can get to Monday and some actual explanations...

Robotech_Master

Does she need to be a big fan of Japanese culture or an ulterior motive? It's a mythological freaking Kitsune. Meeting with a demigod is kinda a big deal. I feel that's reason enough for not wanting to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Well, unless you are an anime fan or otherwise intere...

Robotech_Master

King's abject fear of Kitsune seems unjustified - Kitsune hasn't done anything bad to him, ruled in his favour on the name issue, and gave him the boon at the end of the Game. It's not that he's afraid of Kitsune. He's just done with being involved in supernatural matters, after all the things he w...

Robotech_Master

The funny thing is, I don't think King's carrying on does a bit of good. If anything, it might make the supernatural more likely to involve him. As the unicorn said in The Last Unicorn , "You must never run from anything immortal. It attracts their attention." So, if Kitsune was expecting ...

Nobody wrote:Love Keene in the last panel.
"I'm gonna put on my business sunglasses and pretend to be in charge."

"Relieved to be on the other side of a brawny wolf from the bobcat with anger management issues? Me?"

Robotech_Master

Well, if they go see GK, won't that mean the fox kits too? No. Keene doesn't know Kitsune's 'helping' their Mom, nor that he's also got a Kidsune form. He DOES know King has that 'statue' that Kitsune likes to use... Or does he? I mean, he did mention it while hanging out at Keene's hot tub party ....

Robotech_Master

It's interesting to see Marion be the rational one here instead of Lois as, if they went there earlier, he would've been the one chewing Keene out. Not only was there what King told him, which I imagine he's starting to see in a different light now, but also Thomas told Marion outright that the Mil...

Robotech_Master

I still have the sneaking suspicion this whole mess is going to be Marion and Lois's to investigate, so they'll do it without help from Keene, King, or anyone else. I predict that Marion will remember what King was telling him before he said to put a pin in it, and put it together with what Craig an...

There's apparently some way to intuit that an animals was formerly human - Tarot identified King as a former human during the party where he flirted with her and Daisy. How she did that, dunno... Well, she is psychic. Not to mention, King's counterpart in the game from the opposite side. Either of ...

"would there be a way to establish a way to prove if someone was formerly human or not?" It'd be difficult to 'verify' the identities of therianthropes for logistical reasons, but its by no means impossible. Demonstrate that you know the PIN number for your bank card, and the password for...

Robotech_Master

Of course, you can't really blame Keene. After all, in Housepets world, animals are subject to what amounts to literal racism—because they're not members of the human race. Transforming everyone to an animal in one fell swoop, if it were even possible, would truly give everyone an "equal chance...

Whatever happens, I think the ECP is going to need to sign Lois up for some anger management classes. Perhaps she can get tips on that from Gale. Having your boy friend and then yourself changed involuntarily into a creature you'd rather not be by people you don't know suggests that an appropriate ...

Keene's had this coming for a long time. Too bad Sabrina's not watching nearby with some popcorn. Can't wait to see Breel's reaction. :lol: I think he'll likely either be upset or worried. Though I think it would be hilarious if he's trying to play the good host. He may be stuck in "Heaven&quo...

Robotech_Master

Going by the dialogue and the alt tag, apparently Keene was aware Marion had a human girlfriend who wore a bandanna and glasses…and was under the impression he'd dumped said human for a bobcat with a bandanna and glasses (for which he "had a thing"). Not terribly quick on the uptake, our K...

Robotech_Master

I'm wondering whether Lois is just having an angry moment or, as I proposed in my sonnet, her new hunting cat instincts are getting the better of her.

Robotech_Master

Keene has justly earned a rep for scheming Moving others’ lives around the chessboard He’s learned some lessons, but was surely dreaming If complacency he thought he could afford Thomas wasted no time whatsoever Following up the chance that he had seen A dromedary persuasive and clever That camel wo...

Robotech_Master

Marion: So, did you curse Thomas into being a camel, or not? Keene: Thomas? You've been listening to Thomas? He's a liar and a thief and he got what he deserved. Lois: So you did? Keene: What? No! At least, not directly. He tried to steal the cursed gold that my Dad donated to the temple in our back...

Assuming that mustelids can eat chocolate.

Robotech_Master

I wonder if Marion will chat with Breel while Lois interrogates Keene. If he was weirded out by King's explanation of how he came to be a dog, wait 'til he hears that Breel hails from a couple centuries back by way of the afterlife… Heh, those two just have no idea how weird Housepets life really is.

Robotech_Master

I'm a little surprised that they just let themselves in without knocking or ringing the bell. Doesn't seem terribly polite. And how come Breel only thinks that it's Lana? Doesn't he know her voice? * * * Domestic life we have not often seen Or, at least, a life without disaster From those two mustel...

Robotech_Master

I'm beginning to think you might be right on that. Given the way this story has been going, I'm not sure how you could wrap it up before New Years without the ending feeling rushed. I don't think you can... you know, there are people who think that HP! is a prequel to A&H Club. I'm wondering if...

Robotech_Master

It's kind of ironic that the question of whether Kitsune can fix it should come up in response to a comic about answering a long-held question.

Because I suspect this question may well have to wait another few weeks for an answer.

Robotech_Master

You know, the poses here are similar enough, I wonder if Rick intentionally drew this panel as a Nausicaa reference.

And what's more, they both reacted to this discovery in basically the same way: deciding that they had bigger things to worry about.

You’re right, I forgot about the she-wolf. Poncho looked pretty happy with her last time we saw them together. That always felt more forced. We don't know anything about them or if that relationship bore fruit. Poncho wanted a mate but he shouldn't have to settle for the only female wolf available ...

Robotech_Master

I am surprised no one has yet commented on the propriety of saying "pound" around a canine-similar entity.

Robotech_Master

On the opposite side of the coin, I always took Poncho as more of a Harley-Davidson wolf then a scooter. Given his zoo job, I expected him to be driving one of those miniature truck things that facilities like that use for landscaping chores. I suspect that Poncho is a bit small for a full-sized Ha...

Well, even assuming Lois is still female, there's just not anything there to enjoy being up against on a Housepets bobcat.

Argent wrote:It's such a shame the novel Stuart Little would never exist in the HP! world.

Well, that's not necessarily true. In our world, the novel was about the oddity of a mouse that could talk. In Housepets, the novel would be about the oddity of a human family adopting one as a sibling.

Robotech_Master

You know, I was looking over the arcs about King's wedding and "Heaven's Not Enough" last night—two times when King went to Keene for help, and both times the "help" involved getting saddled with a camera crew. Keene has already said he's going to "make a thing of" this...

A gearhead friend of mine suggested that the lack of a key on the steering column could mean it's a Saab.

Which would make this strip Lois's own personal "Saab story".

Robotech_Master

But oooh, other side! Did she become a south paw ? (Yes I'm aware it's the right hand in the second pic but that's a gesture that people would conceivably tend to do while still using their dominant arm, thus the habit of that gesture is picked up with the other arm.) She did have a glove in her ot...

Robotech_Master

I was wondering what happened to the bracelet that matched the one Marion was wearing as a collar, but then I saw she wasn't wearing it when she took him to the zoo. So wherever it is, it didn't get poofed. Kind of neat how she continues using the same gesture as a bobcat that she did as a human... ...

Robotech_Master

I wonder who else is converging on Keene now, drawn by the news. Did Lana turn around and phone King as soon as she got off the phone with Lois? And who might he have called?

It certainly does tend to arouse suspicions…

Don't know as I'd say "favorite," but I did appreciate it.

Just couldn't pass up the chance to throw a Shakespeare reference into a sonnet.

Robotech_Master

This could be an interesting encounter. What will Keene have to say when confronted with a growly (toothy, clawful) bobkitty rather than a less threatening dog or other ferret?

Especially one with Lois's temper. Really, she might have made a better wolverine.
