Housepets!

Ummmmm no i didnt see this coming at all......all the characters on earth obliterated. Nope, didnt see that.

Yeah Dragon ... lets not use that spell modifiers because I really like this world

By the way Rick, that first panel is awesome

GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD!!!!!!!!!
Oh well...now what?

Well, thanks for the warning, Kitsune...

Ok, that may have been a bit of an understatement.

Plotting plans and outlining rules
down below, in the Fox's den,
the group of Kitsune, Dragon
and Pete as the preening Hen.
Kit explains why you can't modify
when a planet cracks under the strain.
Pete knows this; I bet it was him
who first tried it and collected the gain?
Or did he just win a point in the game?
An argument over protocol and rules?
If he knows the game better than them,
is he the victor and them the fools?

Wait... I'm- I'm a little confused... It was all heaven is great and la la land then... I'm guessing (mostly) everybody will be in heaven now?

Dun worry. I am too and alot of others will be confused.

"But what if it's only one unit of damage for every-" "NO"

On the level of appearance, kitsune is still my favorite of the known heavenly order entities. Cerberus takes a good second.

Getting to go to heaven is good, being forced to find out if you get to go there is not. Any number of the people killed in that way probably also have things they want to, and should be able to do before they die.

okay, of course that was just an explanation of what could go wrong should Draggie use that...tiny modification.
I am EXTREMELY scared of Dragon right now.
Also, smug Pete is adorable.

Glad to hear that, I had to use my brain. (Haven't used it so far this vacation)

That would mean no more World Cup ... Don´t take that away from me

Ya know for otherworldly celestial biengs that seem to be rather nerdy

Im with you bro honestly. Its gotta be just an artistic rendering of GK's reason why that spell is not good.

Pete IS a bit cute when smug.

Foxes are adorable by default.

I agree, though interestingly they are also my top two for agreement with on a personality scale.

I kinda saw this coming:

Rick Griffin wrote:Okay I've resolved the very last thing I was stuck on for the cosmic arc of Housepets. It was actually pretty simple . . . you'll see

Though in all fairness, I thought only the existing cast was gonna get obliterated, not the whole planet.

Don't worry folks, it turns out..



(look for the teddy bear)
Peanut is still alive.
Is that now a möbius strip?

This is a great twist, I didn't see it coming! Now what?

Whaaa I didn't notice that before that that teddy bear was in the first strip ....mind blown

Don't worry everyone... that was just alternate universe A113, where no intelligent life can be fo...wait, what's that Bino clone doing there?

Maybe Stalin was Dragon's last avatar.

Obviously Peanut is secretly the greatest celestial being in the universe. How else do you explain his ability to read books insanely fast?

This is happening in the world of Housepets!, not ours, so the World Cup is still going on! Don't lose hope!

texascat018 wrote:Peanut is still alive.

So they not only destroyed the world, but also themselves?

That.... actually DOES make me feel better!

texascat018 wrote:Is that now a möbius strip?

Nah, it's an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

I'm now imagining Teenage Pete as a goalkeeper.

Housepetting
Blowing up the Universe
With the Ga-lactic Nerds
In their fine shirts.
Housepetting
Things will never be the same
As the Nerds roll their dice
Trying to win their game.

Ladies and Gentleman.....The Great Kitsume

Now you see Dragon you cannot do it, cannot do it, cannot do it
You see Dragon, you cannot do it, cannot do that, Babe.

And now....Spirit Dragon

But we always break the laws of physics, laws of physics, laws of physics,
We always break the laws of physics, laws of physics, Kin.




Ok, I'll stop now.

Now I can just tell that Pete could like to try that.
And only now do all three nerds bother wearing clothes. Is it an end of the word occasion for them or something?

I'm reminded of the following dialogue for some reason.

"So, Tick, can you destroy the Earth?"
"Egad, I hope not! That's where I keep all my stuff!"

Hope the damage is reversible (most likely).

Just why?....they are all idiots.

Loved today's comic. The way the earth being destroyed looks so neat and detailed. Looks like she casted a hurricane spell that just got out of hand?

Also, What is a detection spell? I never understood that terminology in D&D.

No weird time junk, sorry

No weird time junk, but I wouldn't rule out Galactic healing spells. =P

Didn't see that coming...I thought they were fighting somewhere in the celestial world.

Come to think about it, was it Tarot who cast that planet-destroying spell?(Though technically it was the Dragon's fault.)

Let's hope it was just a fictional instance Kitsune came up, otherwise Haven might be overpopulated...

I feel it's important to distinguish between what has happened and what Kitsune is explaining shouldn't.

Why else would Dragon have a HUGE crush on him?

Also, I love how typical Dragon's teenage behaviour is:

It's not my fault the world would blow up, it's in the rules to do this!


Mod Edit: Avoid double posting. Use the edit button to post more if yours is the most recent post.

Actually, couldn't you do exactly this in Dungeons and Dragons using a low level "locate city" spell and a modifier that did ice damage based on the range of the spell it modified?

At least we have Kitsune.

When I saw the first panel just after the comic loaded, I thought the exploding earth was a Brethren Moon.

On second glance, I thought some wise guy had been clowning around with a Planetcracker, a Blackhole generator, the Blacklight Virus (I know that's Magma, but it looks like that virus.), a Nuke and tossed in Michael J. Caboose for a good measure.

Now... I'm not sure if I can trust Dragon now. I mean, I already had a low level of trust for the Cosmic Nerds, but to actually use an infinite detection spell and turn it into an infinite destruction spell?

As Zecora so kindly put it:

"Have you Gone mad!?"
