Housepets!

Wolf and fox chilling together,
Hey, Kari, give back his hat,
Both are smiling, knowing that
They're enjoying some real great weather.

This picture, Rick, it's just adorable
As we ring in a brand-new year,
I think my eye might have a tear.
They know this moment can't be horrible.

Thanks for another year, another decade,
Rick, with these characters we've come to love,
Kari, Daryl, cuddle, don't shove,
Lest you get in hugs repaid.

Super Cute.

Sometimes you get an odd combination
at the rising of the new sun.
It’s when you discover reality
and a new thing has begun.
Daryl looks odd by here, without his hat;,
the one that Kari’s nicked
and, odder still, of all the Wolves,
he’s who our Kari picked.
As tough as a mighty Butterfly,
as wise as a mighty goof;
I wish them both the best, as friends or more
if I’m telling you the whole truth

Oh dear, is ANOTHER couple about to become a part of the ECP (or whatever it's called)? If so, then I'm glad a fox is about to join because, well, I DO love foxes =^.^=

I swear I've seen this before

First off, Awwwww.
Now that that's out of the way, in a sunset it's better if you know where Karishad is than the alternative.


Daryl's hat normally has holes in it for his ears.

I wonder if he got a new hat.
Daryl and Karishad were both on the last Valentines strip. Shall we ship now?

first strip of the year and first strip of the decade

my favorite paw strip
also I don't blame Karishad, I would touch their paws too

Are they canon a thing? That would be SO cute!

Happy new year everyone! To a 2020 full of new comics and new stories!

Also, what a beautiful panel

Maybe, but this is Daryl we're talking about. He dosen't seem like he'd make a fuss over cuddling, whatever his preference is.

I've read your Housepets comic for 5+ years and never posted here, but I want you to know your comics and art mean a lot to me and I love the stories you've told. Never stop.

Happy New Year, everyone =D

Kari looks nice with a hat x3

Kind of hoping this is just random - that’d fit Kari’s personality better (at least canonically). If not, I have several questions.

That’s cute and beautiful

Precious <3 Happy New Year!

The ship has sailed.

I didn't even know it was in port.

Lotta poets.
Good stuff

Aww, they're Daryl and Karishad... They look so nice together! Our fox looks cool with the wolf's hat. Very nice draw!

Title Text: I feel a draft

Happy New Year, everyone.

Sorry about changing the title's spelling, this one better reflects how Kari & I talk. :b

No prob, Rick, forgettaboudit. And a Happys New Years to you and yours.

The two of them do look so adorable together and I'm sure would make really great friends! Just friends! Nothing more. LOL

Hat's off to all and Happy New Year! Have a good year or a better year as the case may be.

Hi, I'm diss

Shhhhhh! I think that you actually could have pulled off impersonating him pretty well! But you blew it. xD

I think this is super adorable.
But, to everyone shipping Karishad and Daryl, stop. Karishad is Rick's boyfriend!

I couldn't agree more.

I honestly had forgotten about that and I only didn't want the two of them shipped because I don't think every drawing that has just two characters in it should be shipped automatically.

I agree.
Anyways, does anyone else think the cloud on the right looks like a beefy lion? Maybe I've been reading too much Pridelands.

I also wouldn't put it past Daryl who acts all tough but is really the biggest coward of the wolves to also secretly read those books.

I don't ship them, but I do enjoy watching shipping discussion.

(Un)fortunately, no, they're not a thing.

Where's the fun in something sensible like that?

That cloud did stick out to me, too.

I think that's canonical. I think Daryl tells Keene that in the first temple arc.

Daryl talks about being a coward (and screams like one) in the first Temple Crashers, but that wasn't in question. Amazee Dayzee was speculating related to that that Daryl also read Pridelands.

Ah, sorry. I would tend to agree. Seems like the kind of thing he'd pick up.

Then again, I HAVE been wrong about my speculations before if I am honest. I thought that Fox pre-King was the only GODC member who would have read it. Turns out most of them did, including Bino.

IIRC, Bino kind of "hate read" it, so he could slam it to the neighborhood cats. Then Rex admitted to liking it. Much later, Mungo actually praised the book series to Res, not knowing he was the author. It almost seems like the book was targeted at cats and spread out to other pets from there.

Bino may have only read through the book to destroy it to the neighborhood cats but I can guarantee you that he did secretly like it and wouldn't admit it if his life depended on it.

Calling it now, Kari is bi.

We really can't make any sort of assumptions about Karishad in the comic and what he does because Kari isn't a character but a fursona and the real life Karishad is in a committed relationship with Rick.

It started as a hate reading, but Bino and Fox both had a lot of positives to concede.

The matter is more complicated, but we don't know nothing. Depending on how you look at it, we know Karishad is into boys because of the relationship with Rick Griffin or Karishad is into girls because of the relationship with Tarot. At least one of those is true.

I brought up how I wanted to ship Kari and Tarot together and the mods told me not to do that or do anything with Kari that involves shipping.

You could ship "other"Daryl with Kix, mebbee?
