Housepets!

I think Imma need at least a week! Pls to send guest strips to [email protected]. Please, as always, ensure the text is legible and the image is sized about to 1200px wide

It sure is comforting to know I can make a typo and it generates as much discussion or more than the comic itself

Retconning everything since Grape's dream arc

I didn't want it to be THAT straightforward

I voted! It's cool seeing Housepets! win so much, though I'll admit it's kinda lame the same comic wins year after year after year. It's good Housepets! keeps quality consistently high, but the furry fandom needs to step up its game! This was the reason that I gave for not pulling myself out of the...

I want to do a guest week starting on monday (3/6) so this is to let you know you can send your submissions to housepetscomic@gmail.com and we'll fill slots as we are able, thank you! Also it doesn't really matter if the comic was posted elsewhere on the internet, if it wasn't run during a guest wee...

Character tags have been added. Apparently adding in lists for custom taxonomies was more complicated than I thought.

NOTE TO EVERYONE: I finally figured out how to get characters to display in posts, have fun

https://www.gofundme.com/karishad I don't usually post this kinda stuff much but if you do have a bit of time and a few dollars I'd like you to take a look; I try and support Karishad as much as I can on my own (as much as he insists I shouldn't) but in this he could use some help from you. https://...

Well so much for my (admittedly forced) head-canon. And so much for this, Rick: http://i.imgur.com/oAOmiV4.png http://i.imgur.com/pyS9310.png And? Technically I'm still of the opinion that nobody NEEDS to have gay couples in their comics in order to PROVE they're not homo . phobic. Also it's not re...

No it's not true, why would that be retconned

Everyone is saying this even though it was my intention to simply draw her arms as thick, and you don't necessarily do that by drawing them larger

Currently I'm still pondering the format change; I may go back to 3x per week, but it'd be something like a half page instead of a full page. Maybe I'll jump between 2x and 3x depending on the arc I'm drawing.

So I think I know what I need to do re: adding back in the old alt text to the site n such, so I am now gonna ask for volunteers to go in and help Diss add in alt text and character tags. Anyone who wants to help shoot me a PM or something!

still wish this worked on ie on my lumia 640 windows phone. some reason it is blurry and zooming in makes it more blurry. I installed a plugin called Disable Responsive Images that might fix this issue. yeah i didn't see anything wrong with old one. The old site was on Wordpress 2 which was heavily...

Toboe wrote:Any chance that we'll ever have character tags again?

I have started adding character tags, but they aren't showing up in the posts, I think I might need to hack that in

Kinda maybe? Probably. Possibly.

Not for what's currently still 99.9% of my total run . . .

(Since you have all the early guest strips removed from the line up, I've assumed you intend that all the way through)

I did remove early guest strips but decided to leave them in later on; I kinda wish I remembered where older guest strips went

OK, strange bug. https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2013/05/27/ If you go "up" from the strips before, it shows Here Come Da Bride but skips What Bwings Us Togefa Today. If you go "backwards", it skips Here Come Da Bride. The actual error, of course, is that What Bwings Us Tog...

Forum mail should be working now, let me know if it isn't! I like the new look! Very clean. Could use a bit more character, but this works great as a baseline. :D I have to say I kinda liked the shorter comic format, though! Is it on the table to do two short comics in place of a large comic periodi...

I have completely forgotten how the email thing works, I'll check on that

Email notifications for the forums?

Woo! A K-9 story arc! :D Also I noticed Rick saying he's moving from three a week to two a week, but didn't see which days those would be. I don't mind considering there will be a new format and all, but I like knowing which days to check the site. ^^; I haven't decided if Monday/Thursday or Monday...

I'll try and provide a link to the old version of the site since it still exists for the moment. You might recognize, if you're browsing on a large screen, that I completely resaved all of the old comics to be 20% larger. You probably won't notice on smaller browsers, but I made sure this time to us...

So okay, with the site update, the forums will need to be migrated to the new server. This might take a while. The new site should be up sometime tonight but the forums might be until sometime tomorrow. Just a heads up!

This forum will have to be updated eventually but HOPEFULLY importing is more doable since forum tables are pretty regular Here is something I'm not certain I can do: import the hover text. This might have to be done manually. If someone could furnish a list of all comics' hovertext I would be extre...

So I have been promising this for years but at the moment I believe my hand is forced: I am updating the site to a new version of wordpress and everything is gonna be changed to a simpler format. Currently, I don't know if some of the features I wanted will be possible--it turned out some implementa...

...He DID make a good point about the site logo though. Rick why ? Go update the website... I have attempted but don't know how. The whole site needs to be updated to Wordpress 4 which requires a complete redesign from the ground up which I haven't been able to carve out an indeterminate period of ...

But that's 6-7-5! You fail, Title Text!

How many syllables is "should've"?

He probably should have said "Dad" here, but since Keene had met his biological mom I thought I'd try to not be so confusing

Yannow, this arc is turning into all kinds of warm fuzzies, but a stray, mischievous thought did occur to me in the midst of all the heartwarming stuff. While I rather like Rick's vision of Heaven, the specific virtues and qualities of the place make me really, really want to see what Rick's versio...

How have we not coined a term for collarless nudity yet? Naked necks... nakedness... Neckedness!

I thought we'd settled on "advanced nakedness"!

Yarn doesn't have to be wool. Most yarn is made of cotton

I have been beating my head against comic scripting lately and it just hasn't been clicking and I don't know why, so I'm taking a break. As usual, if you have any guest strips please direct them to housepetscomic@gmail.com And please remember ahead of time that the comics should be sized for the web...

I didn't either, mostly because the movie had completely surprised me on several points before then, it's just when it happened I was "I guess that was a bit obvious in hindsight"
