Housepets!

Silly Zealot

The title and alt-text are just wonderful! Now, I wonder when Kix’s mate will call? Well, that is a good question! When will Kitsune come a-knocking? Hey, it's a free room, humor her ... we all have to learn to deal with changes, right, kid? Ch-ch-ch-changeeees. We all face strange ch-ch-changeeees.

Man, I can't tell a male squirrel from a female one in the real world, and suddenly everyone in the comic is an expert!

Jessica is the only animal that doesn't keep her eyes above the waist.

"Yeah, you're not the first squirrel we've had." Relax Marion, we all know that SQRL stands for: Soup Quinoa Rice and... Lettuce Not that Marion would know this, but Jess's third rule was no predation inside the house , so he should be safe until he goes outside. Frankly, I wouldn't be su...

You know Karishad might actually be someone who could recognize Marion as a former human. He wouldn’t be someone who could actually do anything about it but he could convince the others Marion was human. "How would he be able to tell?" "Because he is Karishad." "........You...

I love the running gag. I'm sure Mungo made the exact same comment when he first saw the place. Is Marion missing the necklace? It worries me that I keep missing out these details. She. Has. A. Phone! It worries me that I keep forgetting this details. The squirrel turned red with a combination of r...

Spot (superego) comics. Getting a little Freudian, aren't we? Next time? Do we need a next time? I mean three is the pattern but it’s Friday. New week, new Chapter. Spoiler: Marion died on the treehouse from exposure.* Let's continue with Spot (superdog) for forever! *No, not the currency they pay ...

Fourth panel, he has three arms. Huehue! Title Text: just to be safe I went back and ensured that nobody ever had the name, "Actually". This is why it's now improper to rebut anyone with "Well, Actually," [/color] Good thing I always rebut with "Well, actually" with t...

Awww, man I forgot Perfesser Bear's birthday AGAIN!
Well, Happy (belated) Birthday to him!

And thank you so much for the well wishes, you guys!

"I would LOVE to go back in time and fix your first world problem" Aaaah, I missed Spot (superdog)'s insightful sardonism so very much!

It's called "send private message to Rick", but yes.

So the BIG question, who’s treehouse is this? Because we’ve seen it before Someone we know or a new character perhaps? Lois or Marion’s own treehouse because it would make more sense for a human to have a treehouse compared to a pet. Or is it just something abandoned in the wilderness which opens t...

I don't see how creating a Genki Dama is going to solve his problem, but okay!

Pueblo is the most level-headed now, apparently, telling her mom not to threaten people over the phone.

Given that we started talking about The Sword in the Stone because of the alt-text, I'd say it MAY have been intentional. I researched into it after watching the movie, because Merlin makes a statement that squirrels are monogamous. Merlin's statement isn't true. Squirrels have multiple partners per...

Rick has made a great comic, full of adventure and excitement, but he has also made more than that. In a way, an author is as great as the impact he or she leaves in the world, and Rick gave us a comic that he has elaborated on, at least three times a week, ceaselessly for 11 years, but more than th...

Silly Zealot

Also, the whole Sword in the Stone squirrel thing was so sad! I wish they'd followed it up by saying that's where Guenivere came from, or something. I like to believe that squirrel moved on and found a boyfriend elsewhere. Don't forget Zach Rabbit and Jessica. Mr. and Mrs. Sandwich and Mr. and Mrs....

Him meeting up with Lois in the next strip (and him convincing her that it’s him) would be good. I could imagine a couple neat jokes coming from that. [ Marion sitting on her porch, waiting for Lois to get home. She walks up. ] Lois: “Oh, well if it isn’t ‘Marion’. Did he really send you over here ...

Silly Zealot

What in the world, Ralph and Kevin?! Someone just told he's been turned into a squirrel and you just walk away? I never thought I'd see the day Ralph and Kevin would become negligent cops. Boy, Marion can't catch a break. I bet this is among his top 100 worst days of his life. Top 50, even! not quit...

Silly Zealot

I am having to repress a laugh seeing Ralph and Kevin being so casual about all the magic craziness. Yeah all he would know about is transforming into a hunky husky. Bad Xane, bad Xane! Someone get me a broom. A big one! Dang it, I was sort-of close. I wasn't expecting Marion to be so calm and elega...

Silly Zealot

Being in a life or death situation can make you learn to climb REAL fast. Also, remember Marion did practice while trying to get his fancy-pants non-adult cereal. Not to mention it's not that hard if you got claws and and handy-feet. ....Actually, do Housepets! squirrels got claws and handy feet? I ...

Silly Zealot

Is it wrong that part of the reasonn I check each new update is to see Half Quickwit's new ditty? Because if so, I don't want to be right! Is this new one based on a song I am not familiar with? In case y'all needed a reminder that yes, they're animals. :lol: Ah, good. For a moment I was wondering i...

Silly Zealot

Could Fox have possibly sent out a memo to just his coworkers about magic and the potential for situations like this to arise? I feel like Fox would want them have access to all that info just in case. A good joke would be where Kevin takes Marion straight to King and the wolves’ place, King asks h...

Silly Zealot

Oh, no, Kevin! Well, at least it's not Bino. Still, I would reserve this kind of humiliation conga for someone whom I actually hate. With Marion, it's just heartbreaking (if I had a heart, that is). Man, I could HEAR the pleading from Marion in that first panel. :( OH OH, WHAT IF Marion's family are...

Silly Zealot

I just realized that this story arc is not a full storyline, but the prologue the adventures we'll see during year 12 of the comic! With that in mind, I've replaced my overexcitement with a more meassured enthusiasm. I am greatly thrilled by the coming year of wackyness we are going to see, but I ca...

Oh, that's because drum roll The 11th anniversary of Housepets! is next week! Rick always ends the current story arc (or at least the first part of it) at the end of each Housepets! year.

Silly Zealot

I am only jesting. I am not gonna fault the mom for kicking out a book-destroying skirrel out of the house.

Doesn't mean I won't feel sad for the little guy when she does. My heart will pound like a jackhammer.

Silly Zealot

Not sure what Marion was expecting to do with the yellow pages in the first place. Call the local wizards? Maybe it's a Chicago yellow pages. I think we should face the facts. Marion is about to tossed on his tail harder than Tiger. Yeah, Marion's mom isn't going to take this well. If there's one t...

The Macguffin (MacGriffin?) doesn't have to be the coin. Hmm, good point. Also, nice pun! Also where do I join this fanclub As long as you love that Blue Bird-Brain (B3 for short), you are already in! Just like cursed items in D&D, you lay the curse and it's there until the curse is deliberatel...

Yes, but the magic coin is in posession of Steward and Craig (I mean Pete, I mean Craig, no, wait, I mean...), probably doesn't know that. Can you tell I really like Pete yet You should get in touch with Dissension, he's the head of Pete's fanclub. Total members: er......two, apparently. That's two ...

I do admit that I am quite impressed how he was able to open that can with one hand so casually, yet wonder why in the world he destroyed that poor phonebook. Well she could simply faint or Marion could quickly inform her of what is going on then she faints. Or she could be incredibly calm about the...

Silly Zealot

Oh dear, he’s gonna be chased out of the house, isn’t he? Please. Please don't do the most obvious thing and kick him out, Julia. Don't scream. DON'T FREAK OUT. Everyone remain calm because there is a much better way of handling this situation without doing the most cliche thing imaginable. Great. ...

Blue Bull and Red Demon are quite the drinks!

Zach would be thrilled but I don't think I could handle that. That would mean they were RIGHT ALL ALONG about the opener stuff. To be honest, the animals of the Opener cult were right AND wrong all along. Pete was real, and he DID promise to equalize all beings in exchange for his freedom. But he w...

Silly Zealot

Another idea I had was that Rick is establishing a type of “post tf” scenario so that if and when this happens again (and it most likely will) we can assume that the next characters reaction/response will be similar so we don’t have to go through the same process of showing the five stages of TF an...

Silly Zealot

I do not believe this is just "running down the clock". I am trustful year 11 is gonna end with a bang and a kaboom. You can always rely on Rick to make a cool and unexpected twist to every story, and this story sure can go any of million ways. .......But I do hope no one walks in on Mario...

ALERT: We have confirmation of a father. This is not a drill. Big deal. Come back when you have any info on where Andy from Toy's Story's father is, and then we'll talk. We also have confirmation of super squirrel jumping ability. Also it’s only been half an hour. That explains why Lois was able to...

Silly Zealot

Fingers crossed, but if I found myself a squirrel in the morning, I'd flip, and even more so if what happened to Marion happened to me, I'd flip. I am more partial to a classic pirouette, but your take on acrobatics is fine, too! Fox's reaction wasn't ideal because he found out his best friend/cous...

This must be the first case of human turning into an animal and also switching gender... :? In this comic? I'm not sure... I feel like there might have been foreshadowing cause someone did link a gag comic that was early on with one of the ferrets thinking that Scooby Doo was one since they were ca...

Silly Zealot

Yeah, I really do not see how a gender swap is going to change much of anything for guy turned into a squirrel. Outside of a few joking comments or a pestering squirrel boy trying to flirt with Marion, I think this is just going to be an afterthought. Is it odd that the first thing I notice is the i...
