Re: The left out female dogs I hope we could see more of.....
This topic touches on a theme in Housepets that I've thought about a little too much, but so much that I had to come back from the dead and write about it here: I think that, in the early years, Rick unconsciously made the analogy of dogs=boys and cats=girls, which has had a deep effect on Housepets...

Re: Housepets search engine!

Okay so, we now have information for every single comic strip, including the tags. With the tags we can run through...

Re: Things you finally noticed on rereading
Todd Kravitz has light tan cheeks in his first appearance, then they turn to orange, and then they turn back to light tan. They even switch colors in the same strip!
Does Todd have magical cheeks, or is Rick just being inattentive?

I don't think King and Bailey are looking at each other. Rather, they are looking nervously at Fox, whose idol just turned out to be a cat-lover. King and Bailey had at that time spent years in the Babylon Gardens pet community, where they know Fido is revered as a hero and anti-cat sentiments are p...

Kix's eyes are blue, slightly purple. This was only visible in her first appearance if you look VERY closely. These were the last days before eye-color would be completely done away with.
Wait, this isn't the "absolutely useless information" topic...
