Fair enough. It's still probably colder than Africa.

No, it's in the United States. The comic just hasn't said which state.

It still is not on the southermost ones, since it snows during winter there, unless the climate is different in Housepets!
Come to think of it, all nations' borders cold very well be different in Housepets!

The snow may be a result of literary license for effect. *giggles*

I agree with dead-eye, I don't like him so far either.

Man, he didn't look that big next to Sabrina and the other cats.

Also, Uncle Deadeye is now my new favorite character.

An effective weapon: the hand.

I'm betting that, during the date, the specist streak of Prince Jata will push Grape into giving him a piece of her fury

(not that I mind Jata disliking humans, but I hope he's not a fanatic)

Uncle Deadeye, motions speak louder than words.

It's located in the middle of the Springfield, Ogdenville, Shelbyville Triangle.

You guys haven't figured out which state it is in yet? Jeeze. It's obviously in the state of Hysteria.

I bet Jata is going to turn out to be a huge jerk

EchoFireant · Post by **EchoFireant** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 6:45 am

It does feel like Deadeye is trying to force choke Jata except in a very up close and personal way

Well, except for Itsuki who wears that -- did we ever decide what that garment he wears is officially called?

Plus three Rick comments! Is that the most there's been since the comments under the comic itself went away?

Bigger than Pete?

Not exactly. I'd say this is slightly over his average number of comments per strip. It's probably that way because he's happy with the way this one turned out.

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 7:29 am

Miles is so *casual* about the actions of Uncle Deadeye! Adorabobble!

Luckily, it appears that UD liked King...

I would make a "Talk to the Hand" joke here, but... come on, it's the wolf family we're talking about. Such a comment would be insulting.

Funniest thing is that is almost exactly in sync with the music I'm currently listening to!

More likely Pete did it just because he could.

Talk to the paw?

Woah didn't realise deadeye was blind up till now, but I guess it was pretty obvious, hence the name...

Also, Jata's really tall! And I thought Miles was tall... (3/4 the height of a human, as seen here https://www.housepetscomic.com/2011/12/23/glass-houses/)

So... Jata's about one head taller than Miles, that makes him about/taller than the average human height?

And that would mean Deadeye's quite big too, unless his 'station' requires him standing guard upon a raised platform.

but Rick also drew leaves on background trees in a New Year's strip, and mid-winter leaves don't happen in the north.

It's within 9 hours of some point in Kansas. That places it within the blue area.

Most places on that map are. Just cut out a bit from the bottom of New Mexico and Texas, I believe.

I think we could cut off New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 10:35 am

Personally, I think it's in Indiana or Illinois.

Illinois, for me.

Missouri, maybe Kansas.

Kansas is too close to Kansas... the dark blue area is "less than 9 hours from any point in Kansas".

If Babylon Gardens actually existed in Kansas, I would've already known and said so already. :p
