The story makes feel sad for Marion. And the alt-text makes me feel sad for Rick. Today is a time of sadness That is why you need some kind of secret code word or phrase for a situation like this (also would work for time traveling as well) though I guess it could come with the same issues though. L...

I hope Lois ask a different question.

Together at last. Now the healing can begin! Sandwich payment still doesn't count as Doing It For Free! Tell that to the guys who wrote labor laws. I honestly had more faith in Jess. To think she could be bribed so easily but it’s not like it’s the first time she worked for a sandwich. I wonder if t...

Bets on Marion get capture by a forest hobo for squirrel stew? Forest hobo! Why didn't I think of that name? It fits so well. “We’ve travelled a path, you and I, and I really must say you look tasty. If you die when you turn around I promise you’ll go well in pastry.” This is why I love Welsh's poe...

I wonder if there’s any residual magic(k) humming and thrumming about down there. The gargoyles seem pretty much permanently enchanted, probably by Pete himself, but I feel like the temple collapsing might have led to some of its power seeping out into nearby areas. Maybe it was a magic(k) leak tha...

Sweating profusely Okay....I'm....25% sure that there is no grue in the dark. And %10 sure there is nothing else dangerous either. More and more proof that Kari is actually the avatar of a certain nine tail... This Karishad is the same one that exists in the real world. It even says so on his Twitt...

Silly Zealot

Isn't "zork" one of those things that Pinky says? Considering his current circumstances, Marion has no trouble believing the existence of the grue. Nice couple of throwbacks with the robe and the Grue... The Grue isn’t actually there... right? Don't worry, there is a 50% chance Karishad is...

It might be part of the lyrics of Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap, a song that became super famous with the comedy sketch Dear Sister.

The internet is a realm of utter insanity and I know some of it.

Let's take a quick look at things from Marion's point of view. If it's murder that means they have a body. Whose body? Why, Marion's! Being mind-swapped into a squirrel is less freaky than being turned into one. Avoids that whole conservation of mass issue. But that means his dead body's out there,...

I would like to play with them just to see how deep down the sink the original message ends up.

I get the feeling that after all this is over...if all this is over, Lois will keep that photo as a memento, much to Marion's perpetual changrin.

Fox also seems too obvious and expected to get involved at this point. I for one would think Keene and/or Breel would be interesting to bring in. We don't really know exactly how long after the hot spring arc this is taking place, so it's entirely possible that Ralph had Keene and Breel detained wh...

If Bill were to be turned into an animal, I'd figure it be a bear. Or a rhinoceros. Or a mamut. Or a Tyrannosaur. Something BIG! Also, I can picture the owner of the Mister Biggleworths turning into an animal. Can't figure which, though. Tip of the tongue. She'll make a cute squirrel. Note to self: ...

Silly Zealot

Worry not, Buster! The Marion story has unexpectedly and joyfully come back!

Now I won't have to look at passing cars or attend to my responsibilities to pass the time!

Silly Zealot

Wow they are quite behind the times. Must make solving cases so much harder. If Holmes, Poirot and Dupin could get by when phones were barely a thing, why can't these guys? -"These guys are not Holmes, they are Lestrade." .....Oh. Also, cute that we dont even get an initial for the city n...

Hey, there! Hoy, there! I've got a quick question: Is this part of Ten Thousand Miles Up still an official part of the new version? The krakun's rise to power occurred long before computer technology ever came into being on their planet. The average krakun was a physical and mental powerhouse, with ...

Roo: "We're both boomers." Kid: "Does that mean you're gonna try and puke on us?" This dated reference has been brought to you by a guy who doesn't have time to play new video games. Call me Captain America, because I understood that reference! I have seen a golden brushtail pos...

Roo, not everyone's going to know there's more than one kind of kangaroo. that's like expecting someone not from northern canada to know that there are four different kinds of moose, or someone overseas to know that there's an island near mexico that has racoons who look completely different. I was...

Four things: 1) "You are both baby-boomers? But you look so young!" 2) "Last time someone asked me to show him my pouch, it was at gunpoint right after leaving the ATM." 3) "Ain't you a little short for a red kangaroo?" 4) Oh, no, the summer is in full swing now. That m...

Silly Zealot

I agree with Ash.

Silly Zealot

I'm sure whatever she was thinking, it wasn't that her boyfriend is now two feet tall, running around with a tail that doubles as a blanket and worrying about if he might die if he follows his new species normal diet. Oh, man, yes, the allergy! I wonder if it will come up again later in the story. ...

Silly Zealot

Lois is not to blame.
I mean, come on, show of hands: if someone sent you a Whatsapp message saying they got turned into a squirrel and they need your help, would you really believe them?
As in, really really believe them?

.....
Really really really believe them?

We all knew that King’s life was better as a dog, and that the only thing he had waiting for him if he became human again was jail. That’s not the case with Marian. He has family, a girlfriend, a bunch of people who are going to be going nuts looking for him while he’s stuck like this, and he can’t...

You know what distresses me the most about today's strip? That's right! The "to be continued" sign at the end of the page! We are about to move onto a different story and won't see these characters for AT LEAST a few weeks! Aaaaah, the suspense! The dramatic tension! (paws for emphasis) Ma...

Definitely a BADger. :lol: Seems like Steward is up to something. Given his current height, I'd say he is more of a getting down to bussiness guy. People love coming up with what-ifs. Speaking of what ifs: I dunno if this fan theory has any real ground to stand on, but: Steward: "The ferrets n...

I get the impression that food animals are not as intelligent. I assume it's a trait that would be selectively bred out early on in agriculture. I don't know if we can breed intelligence out of animals. A lot of domestic animals are less sharp than wild ones. We never gave reason (nor wanted to) to...

Silly Zealot

The squirrel is slowly but surely encroaching on the conversation. Oh, the suspense! Finally, someone says it! The comic is now asking the big questions! This all goes back to the Housepets 10,000BC story where the cats make fun of humans for preparing for a hurricane, storing extra food, herding an...

Silly Zealot

That was just reflex because Thomas spat it out onto his face.
Which makes his transformation all the more tragicomedic. You can see him going all "Oof! Good thing I caught that thing before it hit me in the fa- uh oh."

Silly Zealot

I like this, but if they can even prove that Marion was once human, doing so would mean acknowleging real magic(k) in the world, which I don't think any of the characters are willing to do so at this point. If they were, you'd think Keene would have done so already. To be fair, we don't know how ma...

What is with you people being so concerned about his gender? The transformation into a squirrel affects literally all his life plans. Apologies. It's just that problems regarding our differences in gender tend to affect our day to day life a bit more than our problems regarding differences in speci...

Steward is going to convince a bunch a ferals to join the ECP and poison it from within as the ultimate act of revenge. As long as he doesn't try to convince them to join the SCP, it's not THAT bad. I wish to reiterate that I would really like Xane to comment more often. I can only be funny/interes...

Silly Zealot

Awww, Steward is trying to help the animals get a better life, maybe he is not such a bad guy after all! Okay, place your bets, who here thinks I am going to be proven wrong within the next two weeks? The Extremely Content Predators program! I wish to reiterate that I would really like Xane to comme...

I do have a hypothesis: The coins look ancient, so the person that gave them to Pete may have spoken an ancient language. In many ancient language, the word for "human" is also the same as for "man". (For example, in Ancient Greek, with the word "anthropos") So maybe th...

If Rick did go that route and I'm not saying that he will but just pointing out if he did, he might lose a lot of fans. Yeah, I shouldn't have even jokingly suggested it. I think we will learn what's happening here, but it may take a while. I didn't mean that "No." to sound mean, just dea...

i'm pretty sure Jessica was just looking at Marion's hips. Many people have commented her body looks too... curvaceous to be male I like this explanation a lot. There is also the one I made up a while ago: Don't think on it too much, it's a bit disturbing(!) There many people in the Housepets! worl...

...really Marion? Being called a squirrel is fine, being told your story is made up without hearing it is fine, having to call the pie thing stealing is fine, and this is the thing that bothers you? Boys will be boys........Except when they are not. DID YOU JUST ASSU- Not today! Drama Day is on the...
