So I'm guessing parrots aren't all that special in this universe (aside from their pretty colors, of course).
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

Some reason I was thinking he was maybe a scammer (some reason I was thinking swindler) and is just trying to make a quick buck or two (but he's in the forest...why would he need to make a buck when there are plenty I'll shut up), but I decided against it that time, but now it seems like he is..could be wrong. Also, is it me, or does Cory have heterochromia?

Hey look another new character! I wonder, could this possibly be Pete's mortal form if Cory is Spirit Dragon's? :o

I must say I'm giving Cory the benefit of the doubt here - for the moment...

Transparent scam here...though, knowing Rick, there could be a lot more to it than just a duo of confurs with a hapless rabbit in the middle.
And now I am even the more convinced that Trinket (YAY! BIRDIE!) and Cory are the forms of Pete and Dragon respectively.
But this arc is being awesome :lol: :lol:

I'm gonna venture a guess and say that Cory is part Pete and Dragon with Pete being the dominate one and Trinket being part Dragon and Pete with Dragon being the dominant one. Since we know for sure that Cory is a guy, we just need to see the eye and the gender of Trinket.

I guess we'll see. Though yes, I had made a mistake. If true, Cory = dude = Pete and Trinket = girl = Dragon.

I believe it has been noted.

But it could be co-incidence. The colour of the eyes might well have absolutely nothing to do with Pete or Dragon. It might even just be Rick deciding he likes yellow/green eyes on occasion. If we keep speculating this every time the colours show up it's going to get boring really quickly.

ok yah i looked back and there alot of charactors that had green and yellow eyes so it might just be Ricks favorite colors.

Well, the comic isn't on The Great Gatsby levels of color significance yet, so I think we're safe for now :b

Guys I'm pretty sure since Dragon and Pete went to live full lives that would mean they are either not born yet or babies at best, depending on when the souls entered and what not. Unless your saying years have pasted since then, or maybe time travel I guess.

Yeah, I'm in agreement with you. But I'm not in agreement that those two new characters are the two characters that I miss. Those two had homochromia eyes. So ya wanna know what I'm gonna do? The same thing I did for "Heaven's not enough": sit back and enjoy the show. :D

I'm with icekiysune on this one, it is highly unlikely and illogical that these two characters are Pete and dragon seeing as all the characters from the heaven is not enough arc seem to be taking a break. What I have learnt is that Whenever a character gets too much screen time they seem to disappear for a while. The name of this strip is a little birdie told me and that is the absolute stereotype of a con artist. The bird is defend telly in league with Cory but they are likely just new random characters introduced to spice up the comic. I hate using that phrase but it fit best. It's also times like this that I realise that with no pockets and empty hands in the first strip, we're was Cory hiding the ring. That's enough from me so good bye and let the 75th annual debating games begin.

This whole continental time thing is so annoying because write now it is 6:34pm a nice cozy hour to be on the forum but it's 20 past 3 in the morning in America so it takes ages to garner any responses to posts and topics. I miss good old Scotland.

Please tell me I'm right and that Housepets is made and managed in America because they're are so many American stereotypes and phrases that I am certain of it but I have been wrong before.

The Game's over so weird time stuff is allowed.

A bigger argument against it is that Rick decided to wrap up the Cosmic Nerds arc because it was distracting from the reast of the comic, so I don't believe he's bringing them back so soon.

There is no way Rick is finished with the demigods because they have been the plot of the comic for the past 6ish years, not counting 2008 which only had slight references to the demigods at the end. But we will definitely see them in the future however argent has a point and that they may not be brung back anytime soon. I wonder how long it will be until we gain more character development on either kitsune, Cerberus or some story to karishad.

Hey, Housepet Babies! Oh, wait....Rick's done that already. How cool would it be if Rick went back and added a suspiciously familiar puppy and kitten in the background in one of the Pound scenes as Peanut meets Grape in the foreground -- HP! Meets Zelig/Forest Gump/"Trials and Tribble-ulations"!

Kitch has a point about the possible 'trolling' and the comment on Cories pudginess is very clever and I am now annoyed that I hadn't noticed that. BEWARE THE BLUE BIRD OF DOOM.
