Housepets!

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...

Carp isn't a swearword but if you switch the r with the a you get the absolutely awful swearword CARP

Ready for update seven?? I did one of the most exciting things that I thought of before I even started this project: making a graph that shows the appearances of characters over time! Okay so, we now have information for every single comic strip, including the tags. With the tags we can run through...

MasterAbsinthe

If this gets implemented on the main site they should make you a mod or an admin. Just because you made this and you seem to have put it together really well! Oh my god that would be awesome! I might be able to make a compelling case to the Housepets team if I manage to turn the database into a web...

MasterAbsinthe

That is all just so cool and it is astonishing that you are able to do this! Hope to see more soon! And more you'll see! Here's update six! Although there is lots of fun stuff to do with the data as it is, this time I decided to start working on a way to add "Story arc" information to the...

MasterAbsinthe

That really is a lot of comics and this project is really cool! Keep it up MasterAbsinthe! Thanks, I'm just getting started!! Update number five! After gathering the data, I went to the Housepets Wiki Discord and told the other editors the good news, and one of them suggested that I check which com...

MasterAbsinthe

I hope you have snacks because the data is finally in! Update number four!! Now the algorithm has finished it's algorithming, so we can move on to playing with all the raw data we have! How does the data look like finally? I have formatted it into a simple table, here is a random selection of rows ...

MasterAbsinthe

Okay time for update number three!! With the text recognition done, I have moved on to fully develop the bot that goes to the Housepets website and gathers information. After working on this for a while, I now have a list of all the relevant data that I'd like to gather for each comic strip, which ...

MasterAbsinthe

Celestials used to talk with colored balloons, and for few times there are also rectangular third-person speeches with yellow background, though, like in here . Yes, I have thought about this and I think I have a solution. Each comic strip has character tags that the program can detect, so I could ...

MasterAbsinthe

I'm sure some will find this useful, clever stuff Absinthe!! I am liking what you are showing us so far! Keep up the good work! Thanks guys! I'm having a lot of fun with this Time for our second update! I wasn't happy with the text recognition results that we got last time, sometimes the text wasn'...

MasterAbsinthe

It seems like a lot of headache for little results. Well, I will admit that this is something that will mostly be beneficial for niche users like me, who need to search the comic regularly and specifically. And additionally, think of it like shooting a rocket to Mars: it won't necessarily lead to g...

Fandom Wiki . As you ca...

I was never able to understand this strip here, what the heck is Peanut talking about???

But then I found this strip right here!

In one of her first appearances, Tarot makes a harrowing prediction

The Cast Page on the old website also had alt-texts for each image, and the alt-text for Simon Milton is as follows:

Which came back to me when I stumbled upon this one-off from 2013:

MasterAbsinthe

I read this stip again... https://i.imgur.com/s7DQmC0.png I couldn't understand why Breel was mentioning Maxwell of all pets, have they even ever been seen together? Then I thought it was suspicious that Maxwell apparently enjoys baking when he's alone? Wait... "baking"...? That seems to r...

Ok so I went down a long rabbit hole with this one... I work on the Housepets wiki and for some time now we've needed a main image for the article "Milton Estate" . I've always wanted to use this one right here: https://i.imgur.com/P1eszb3.png But since it's full of speech bubbles and othe...

I mean this specific part of his cheeks. Notice how it goes from beige to orange.

MasterAbsinthe

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?

The Milton Ferrets are named after the characters of a TV show called Captain N. The title of the show is inside a red pill-shaped box, right? Guess what else has red pill shape?

D-Rock, you absolute genius!

MasterAbsinthe

Yeah I'm really happy with the result. Next I'll remove Breel so that we can use the image as the profile picture for the Ferrets.

MasterAbsinthe

Hey guys! Back from the dead I guess with a sweet edit, this time "The Last Supper" as reimagined by Breel and the Milton Ferrets:

Thank you Weston! It's crazy to look back at all the work we've done, and we're not even halfway there!

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...

Also, you can see Spring and Summer in the background to the left as well. And while we're on that topic...

I have some unusual edits today. I've been working on custom badges for the Housepets wiki (totally go check it out!) and me and the editors have agreed on making the pet's collars the theme of the badges. Since I'm no artist, I find some nice frames of the characters with their collars that I edit ...

I edited the recent strip to make this meme format, I'm pretty proud how it came out

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...

MasterAbsinthe

Awesome! Where did you find the picture?

She didn't need any eye-wear because her ears cover her eyes all the time.
