Oh, has Housepets had some kind of anniversary? I hadn't noticed.

But seriously, folks, congratulations on this milestone!

Congratulation to 1000 comic strips

Now I'm looking forward to seeing the next 1000! ^^

Ah, panel 3 is just adorable

[Amazee Dayzee]

Congratulations on 1000 strips! Here is hoping that we have 1000 more!

[Argent]

Only 24 strips to hit 1K!

[Sleet]

Congarblations on 1000 comics, Rick! Here's to thousands more!

[Silly Zealot]

Someone who's name rhymes with missention?

......

Sauron wrote the commentary text?! Awesome, I thought he was dead!

Congratulations a thousand times over, Mr. Griffin, here is to a million strips more (unless you want to take a break again, of course!), and may the fox be with you.
Nanu Nanu.
Pills and Posterity.
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Only 24 strips to hit 1K!

Wait, what?

[Amazee Dayzee]

Yeah I don't understand that either, but then again I fail at math forever. 24 more strips would be 1,024 or am I missing something?

[Silly Zealot]

Aaah, a kilobyte! I get it!

[IdleCurator]

Aaah, a kilobyte! I get it!

So that was it. I have sat here pondering what that was for ages.
Silly Zealot I don't think what you said about Sauron was a spoiler, because he was dead to begin with in the fellowship and Hobbit because the purpose of the ring was to resurrect him. You know you can still see what is in the black spots by quoting them. Hahahaha.
A thousand strips is a lot but is it really a thousand of his, has he subtracted the guest comics and short stories. Was the aborted strip with the catnip counted seeing as it was up for 7 or 9 hours before being removed. Ok now I am just being a spoil sport, party pooper, THAT GUY.
So happy centennial Rick.

1000 comics? It makes me upset that I had discovered this AMAZING comic around mid-October of last year and regret not beening able to enjoy reading this from the start.

Anyone else feel this way, or am I the only one?

I found the comic on the 1st of august so I was realy confused whenever I came back to read it from the start and see them on a plane and then in Perth Australia. And I rushed a bit to catch up so I never looked at the older forums or comments section, which is why I had to ask about things like are Bruce and Roosevelt both boys and other previously answered questions.

I remember when I picked up the comic, it was with Peanut being kissed by Grape. So yeah, I guess I do feel that way. But starting later just means you have more material to review. 1,000 comics in fact!
I have a feeling Rick isn't even close to halfway done with housepets. Here's to another good year.
One thing I've wondered since joining, is it nessisary to add the '!' to 'Housepets!' ;P

Probably not seeing as the definition of an exclamation mark is "a sudden cry or remark expressing surprise, strong emotion, or pain". It's their to seperate the comic from every other web page that discusses pets I believe. If Star Wars was spelt as: star, wars you would still say it a Star Wars without the pause in between. Ok now I am just rambling on.
In the end it probably isn't necessary. Well until Rick or Dissension inevitably posts to contradict me.

[Argent]

1000=1k
1024=1K

[Duster]

This calls for a toast!
*clinks wine glass*
Here's to Rick for reaching the breathtaking milestone of 1000 comic strips!
May your hands never ache and your mustache be full and manly.
Cheers~

[Amazee Dayzee]

Yeah that would make sense Argent though it would go over my head since I have no clue how that would work.LOL

[dryideabat]

Wowie wow-wow! A grand of grand comics. Congrats to Rick Griffin!

Referring to the title, what would the subsequent O and the other M be for?

[trekkie]

Congrats Rick, and thanks for all your hard work on Housepets! I loved this arc, and this was a great ending.

[Amazee Dayzee]

I'm also interested in knowing what the O and M stand for.
