Housepets!

"Three's Company" ... unless you gotta baby-sit `em .........

Also makes me think this is the average rule of births for the Housepets universe. Gale seems to be the only exception so far.

Unless Pueblo had three siblings who didn't make it to adolescence.

That is just so very depressing and I am wondering why I brought that up even if it is a possibility.

It's very possible, but i wouldn't worry about it too much. =)

I have to worry about it because that is my thing and I hate anything that has to do with child death.

Sorry dayzee, it looks like the child mortality rate of feral animals is off the charts!

If that is the case then, we can't be sure that Miles and Lucretia's cubs were triplets or that they were the first litter. The litter that caused Gale to end her and Miles friendship could have been an earlier one.

hmm... babies dying in a kids comic is pretty brutal, so I'm gonna stick with the happy version where nobody's dying at a young age...

Minus the puppy that was drowned in a river?

Thankfully, in the same arc, Lucretia says she's had three cubs.

Well I am so very glad for that and now I don't feel like I have to worry anymore.

The puppy went to heaven tho, so I'm not losing too much sleep over it. Although come to think of it, all puppies go to heaven so we should'nt be worried about kids dying I guess? A little morbid but...

It doesn't matter if all young animals end up going to heaven because its too depressing. Since they didn't get to live out their full life.

Why live a full life when you can live it up in literal heaven?

This is why I assume that they which is whoever run heaven ended up making suicide an unforgivable sin. You have to EARN your happy ending in heaven. And it still is depressing because while the deceased offspring move on to heaven, what about their families they leave behind?

Ouch. Imagine committing suicide and finding out that Bahamut is gonna send you off to hell for all eternity!

Now before we all get depressed let's go back to finally noticing things on rereading:



In Uncle Deadeye's most recent appearance in "Call o' th' Wild" he is wearing a blindfold, I think I just realized why.

When Deadeye was introduced, Rick chose to draw his eyes as pale blue and without pupils to show that he is blind. But now Rick Griffin doesn't draw eye-color anymore, so now all the characters have black pupils. So I think that Rick put a blindfold on Deadeye because he isn't sure how he should draw his eyes without eye-color like he used to. He can't draw black pupils because then he won't "look" blind anymore, and he can't draw them pale blue because he no longer uses eye-color. So I guess we won't see Deadeye in the comic before Rick finds a way to solve this.

I was thinking that the injuries that resulted in Poncho getting his scar also resulted in some damage to Deadeye's vision and the blindfold was a way to let what was left of the eyes heal.

As for drawing Deadeye again, Rick should have no problem if he choses to draw Deadeye with pale blue pupils since they would be pupils and not eye color. XD

Spo mentions that his family is so big that his parents had trouble finding original names. He says that his next younger brother's name is "Spp", which is after "Spo" in alphabetical order. If we assume all his siblings were named alphabetically, starting with "Aaa" then "Aab" and so on, this means that Spo has at least 12,574 brothers and sisters.

The average female mouse has 300 mouse pups in the course of her life...

Well, animals in general live longer in this world.


That's all the explanation that we'll have.

It's probably the only explanation that we need also. Mice tend to multiply like crazy seemingly so if they live longer then it is only gonna be worse in this universe though I guess that is debatable since mice can talk and you might be able to reason with them if they are being pests.

If you try to reason with Spo he's gonna show up at your house wit his 12574 siblings and teach you a lesson



Today's comic strip is a reference to the first imaginate arc 12 years ago, where they simulate rain by throwing a water bucket into the ceiling fan.

Since it seems to be coming down hard and continuously in this strip like a downpour I am assuming they have a BIG bucket or they might be using a hose this time. XD

They've had a decade to refine their technique after all!

I'm just gonna say that they used a hose because it will be a lot more funnier and make Earl and Jill flip out even more. XD

Honestly you’d be surprised how many people have made that mistake even as native english speakers, english is a very strange and stupid language

Tarot isn't a English word.

It’s a French word, though derived from Italian.

I guess I learned something new

I knew it wasn't an English word but I didn't know where it ended up coming from. >_<

I need some help understanding today's comic. Is King saying that Ace has such poor vision that she was given contacts that morning at the vet, making her pupils look unnaturally large? If this is the case, and Ace can now see properly, why is King worried about the safety of the play area as if Ace still has trouble seeing? This is flying right over my head, guys.

The way I read it, it could either be she can't see now because of something that happened this morning and that is why we see her eyes now or she was always blind and we are just finding it out now.

I am probably so wrong but that is the two explanations I came up with.

Either the vet confirmed that she’s blind, or it was a standard procedure and her pupils are still dilated, which makes it harder to see without covering until they retract again.

Well Rick made an edit that clarified it and said that it was something the vet gave her that couldn't make her see and she's not totally blind like I thought though if she was given eye drops that dilate her pupils she isn't blind because you can still see with dilated pupils but its a bit tougher.

It really messes up your vision, though. In fact, I'm still surprised that she's going around without some sort of eyewear, but it's great to finally see her eyes.

I just wish that Rick hadn't implied that she was blind because that is what happened when he had King say what he did. It does mess up your eyes though when I had them done it wasn't as bad though everything was super bright.

I highly doubt he anticipated so many people to jump to that conclusion. Not the first time the fans kinda made him make a point more clear by altering things.

She didn't need any eye-wear because her ears cover her eyes all the time.

Maybe that is why she had to go get her vision checked. Having her eyes covered all the time and not getting any light into them can't be a good thing for them.

I meant post-dilation. Too much light on dilated pupils can be painful or damaging, and her ears stand up much straighter now.
