Housepets!

Grape is rather terrible at this.

As amusing as it is for us, the readers, it just makes me feel bad for Max! D:

Don't worry, Max, at least some of us think skinny guys are cuter than muscular ones!

Come on Graaaa- I mean Concord, stay in character !

Come on grape keep it together

Heh, Concord is not very into girl cats methinks... way to blow your cover!

Jata is in a full suit it seems, how unusual. Grape, urm Concord, has the usual collar tie I see!

Concord, your fangirl is showing.

I realized yesterday jata is the first animal to willingly wear a full set of cloths. Besides king's photo shoot of course.

I don't think that photo shoot counts as willing.

I am gleefully waiting for upcoming events in this strip. I'm probably not the only one that things this date is going to go horribly, humorously, and/or dramatically awry.

Yeesh, Grape ~ way to have Sabrina give you the violent threats this time.

Well now on the bright side ~ at least Grape isn't literally always right about everything regarding her and Max. She can be tempted. (So many hearts @_@) Makes me anxious to see the ending, but I really wanna stay for the conversations and silliness. X3

I think Sabrina's comment was referring to Foot in Mouth syndrome, not an actual threat...

Well, he could not be wearing pants since he's sitting at the table.

It can be both ways! ... Ok,yes. I misread it again. But it came off sorta like a humorous threat. I swear, she was channeling Grape for some reason when I was reading it. X3

Who knows? Maybe Grape will beat King's record for largest quantity of foot-in-mouth.

Telling tales over the dinner plate,
Sabrina's talking herself into a hole.
The stricken Concord tells no tales
as Sabrina lies to save her soul.
Telling the truth to the suited Cheetah
would be worse than this masquerade
as he may think Love to be cat specific
and not a mere game to be played
between the species. It's unlikely
he'd approve. He simply wouldn't
understand the communion with a dog
over him and the little lie. He couldn't
follow what you're looking to say here.
Or, at least, that's what you fear.

lol, oh Grape so much for acting your part! Interesting to see Jata in a suit, no wonder Grape is going hots for him! XD

Am I the only one who thinks that Jata looks like a linebacker in that suit?

It's the tie. X3

I love the fact that Grape/Concord is wearing cuffs and no other part of the suit.

Window-shopping with the merchandise at paw's reach.

Is that Jata? I thought he was Bruce Wayne... a furry Bruce Wayne.

Sabrina is wearing earrings in both ears this time! And I noticed she is vegetarian!
Grape's cuffs are cute too!

Sabrina couldn't bring herself to do her cat duties and kill feral mouses in her house. That's how Fido got Spo to take care of (and the little birds, and the squirrel...)

...That last statement was much creepier than Rick probably intended.

Bet she takes the purple tie as a sign. XD

Earth to Concord, you're risking blowing your cover.

I guess I can't blame her though, Jata sure cleans up well.

Yeah but just because she doesn't like hunt doesn't mean she doesn't like meat. To be honest I thought she ate dried kibble 'till now. Although I don't mind. That's good info for her bio.

Now that you mentioned it, he sorta does.

Anyone else notice how Jata says "Concord has been lucky to have you" and not "is lucky"?

I take that as meaning he fully expects Sabrina to end up with him and doesn't see Concord as much of a threat to that at all. Doesn't look like poor Sabrina's plan is working out very well at all

BTW, I still think this is going to heavily impact Sabrina and Fido, more than it already has. This has been a very involved and interesting arc so far, excellent work!

Duster wrote:Am I the only one who thinks that Jata looks like a linebacker in that suit?

Wow dude, your right! I gotta' say that outfit really suits him! *SMACK!*

First panel Jata looks like a newly awakened kitten. XD

I'm actually wondering right now how the cover hasn't been blown yet.

I'm surprised he hasn't figured out Concord is a girl. Unless....he knows she's not a boy and is pretending to not know that information which he actually does know!

Oh, he is clever.

Volume 5 cover of Housepets! is Jata. Can I get a high 5? Yeah? Yeah?

Oh, yes.

I can imagine, that Jata will run into Grape and Max the day after, hearing that Concords name is Grape and she is the girlfriend of Max and and and...

Of course Jata is just playing ball to see how far Sabrina is willing to go on with this charade.
But even if Sabrina had actually brought Max, Jata would've regarded his presence as something irrelevant. The leopard ìs just having his fun.
What I really wonder is, when push will come to shove, if Fido will have the courage to come out and publicly announce his feelings for Sabrina in the face of the Prince.

Has the theory that Jata is Pete in disguise been considered and rejected?
After all...he is staying in the house of Pete's minion and chasing after the person most likely to replace Tarot if needed as Dragon's avatar.

Grape: Setting the mood.

If I'm calculating correctly, the current comics will be in collection 6. 5 will probably end with King and Bailey's wedding. As for Housepets 6, Rick so far has a number of interesting visuals he could go with for a cover an title.....

"Housepets: Stompin' Around" (Squeak)
"Housepets: Go Four On the Floor" (Gallifax)
"Housepets: Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (Jata)


Personally I'd go with Gallifax, especially if Rick could handle the extra expense of a cover that held one way shows Grape Max Peanut and Tarot as normal, and held another way shows them in quad form.

That's scary O.o

But the thing is that Sabrina actually knew a Jata, unless the real Jata has been kidnapped and hidden somewhere while Pete is pretending to be him... or the Jata Sabrina knew was actually Pete all along :O

OMG OMG OMG
