No insight like you all,
...but I LOVED this strip! I'm doing pushups this morning just so I can share in the upcoming pain; It'll add to the dimensionality of the strip

I think it's sweet that Sabrina is concerned about Max :3

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Wed Sep 25, 2013 7:11 am

The 'Y' in gym <3

Also, methinks that Max did too god a job of appearing as a self-assured, rogue tomcat. Grape better be very forgiving with her beau :3

I love the Road Rovers reference!

Most likely the combination of zeal and subnormal intelligence will make Kevin a cruel task master in the gym.

Kevin: "They told me I could be anything. So I became a Rottweiler."

Oh Max.

The only way you could get abs like Jata would be to go back in time and pick jaguars as your parents.

Just accept that you're cute and cuddly, not an ivory-clawed engine of destruction.

I wonder if Kevin will be a bit like Miato Gai in regards to training Max.

Max really needs this guy:

I have never heard of Road Rovers. Apparently Rick is taking the Homestar Runner approach to pop culture references.

**** yea, road rovers. Too bad it got canceled just right after a few episodes so it's really obscure

I love how watching those cartoons from the 90s and watching them now, you notice certain things you never thought of while you were young. Now I look back and I'm like, "Wait, WHAT! They got away with that???" Animaniacs was another fave of mine which had sooooo many innuendos XD

Love Kevin's face in Panel 3 -- "I'm gonna make a Cat hurt, and I don't even haveta beat him up."

Let's see -- in 1996 and '97 I was busy making Y2K safe for the World (we were wildly successful -- so the Media blamed us for leading them on). I guess I missed it.

I'm still bitter about that. I spent that New Years in our Y2K center, biting my nails waiting for our first customer site in Australia to roll over... when Australia made it into the new year without losing power we celebrated... with cokes.

Then they went on about how Russia hadn't bothered and nothing happened to them. Russia didn't have to worry about anything, most of their critical infrastructure was running Western European and US software. They got a free ride.

I know right, that's why "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" will always be one of my favorite movies!

Wow. I never actually knew what that word was in the song. (And I just watched "Aladdin" last week.)

Haha. Good thing Grape has inter-changeable gender roles.
Grape is to Concord as Peanut is to . . . ?

Crunchy? (Sorry, a "Charlotte's Web" reference was the best I could come up with, and, no comments about "hot dogs" or other nonsense, please...)

You sir are a genius!! That is simply awesome and I wish I thought about that before you. Come to think about it darn you!!

Hmmm...seems if max wants to be ripped because if grapes emotion when in front of the prince... This will be interesting. I wounder if kevin might push it too far for max

Also the background posters are true! If you feel pain that means whatever your workout is IT WORKS the only time it will hurt is when your sore and that's when you know... You did awesome...

If it is, that might open the possibility of Joey starting and/or attending a RR convention, complete with the now going on 20 year older "actors" who played Hunter, Colleen and the rest. Rick could age the character models sufficiently enough to create Lawyer Friendly Cameos , and just refer to the show itself as "RR" or have a running joke of people being interrupted (or their speech balloons covered mid sentence) any time they mention the name of the show, much like he did on the poster here.
Now you inspired me into writing that scene! Happy?!

Yes. Yes I am.

HundKatzeMaus · Post by **HundKatzeMaus** » Wed Sep 25, 2013 4:11 pm

Wow the last Panel really surprised me

Somehow it was clear something like this will come, but still....
I just LOVE Kevins Face, because it says so many things:

-"I'm the DOG!"
-"I know you would come"

Okay maybe not so much, but still it's just Awesome.
Thats one of the things I really adore in Housepets, the facial expressions are always fitting and they help the humor so much

Does anyone else feel like this arc is going to be more about Grape than Sabrina?

loomCAT · Post by **loomCAT** » Wed Sep 25, 2013 5:11 pm

I see Max is still in full on Angst Mode from last arc. ^^; I guess once it hits, it hits all at once.

Also, Kevin's face is the greatest. "Oh, yeah. I'm that awesome."

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Wed Sep 25, 2013 5:19 pm

Ah, poor Max, you're taking all too much seriously, it's making you feel down. Grape looks sincere on what's saying, hopefully, so she really loves you... About gym training, it's not what you need; appareance it's not all, fortunately, show you best side to Grape.

I'm not liking all this recent desperation and depression put on Max, let's leave him a bit alone.

Well after that strip I think it will be a little bit like the Gallifrax Protocoll, we have two storys in one arc:
1.) The date with Jata, Sabrina and "Concord"

2.) Max getting trained/humiliated by Kevin

maybe the thing with the gym is a foreshadowing for a another Arc, but I don't really think so.
It could be we'll see Fido again in the next few strips.

At first I blamed the cheetah for being so muscular, but I have to say this is Grape's fault. She's the smart one, she should know that Max would do something crazy that will end in a comedic tragedy.
