I discovered the Housepets! comics only recently but regardless of my brief introduction I fell in love with them instantly.
Housepets! mainly follows Peanut Butter (Dog) and Grape Jelly (Cat), a pair anthropormorphic domesticated pets, as they live out their lives in the world of humans surrounded by a plethora of colourful supporting characters. Anyone with an affinity for animals will find plenty to love here and will no doubt see similarities with their own pets (or maybe not!) The characters are endlessly amusing, the story arcs are interesting and well paced and the overall presentation is just briming with a delightful charm that will stay with you until long after the end.
The book itself is beautifully presented and the images are clear and sharp. The printed page certainly does Housepets! more justice than the digital screen and it's easier on the eyes as well!
Are you curious to know what would happen if your pets walked on two legs and could talk? Perhaps you would like to hear the tales of Spot (Superdog) as he battles his nefarious, dress wearing foes? Or maybe you simply wish to know if Grape ever does get to finish that nap for once? Whatever your reason, you need to buy Housepets!

A great read! Witty, adorable and entertaining. I especially love the way the artist has thought about how the world would work with pets who have near-human intelligence. Its very well thought out and comes out really cute. I can't wait for book 2!

Housepets! is arguably the most entertaining and influential webcomic of the modern era.
Reciting the adventures of a community of talking pets Rick Griffin effectively mixes progressive storyline with random one-offs. Constantly surprising and charming the reader.
It is also the one thing online that has protected itself against trolls. When I joined it's official forum I was surprised by a number of things, the lack of swearing, the heartiness and grammar of each post, the effective and well thought out criticism's for fan art or fictions when most others would write something short and inflammatory. People follow their dreams when they stop being an avid reader and become part of the community.
It begs only one question. Why hasn't it been made into a cartoon?
