never understood the appeal of superman but the way some artists and comics draw him looks like my boyfriend so some chemicals in my brain are getting crossed

The Housepets Omnibus: Coming Soon!

The Housepets Omnibus is coming! All 15 years of this original run in four volumes with a TON of bonus content! Volume 1 contains a retrospective on the development of the comic (including the previously unpublished pilot strips!) Volume 2 contains a new and reworked version of "Remnants of an American Nomad" from the unreleased Housepets novel, Volume 3 has a comic-ized version of 12 Days of Housepets for your archival needs, and all of the volumes contain new commentary, fixed-up coloration, and many more things besides! The books will be available on Amazon soon--I wish I could give you a link to the store page but that doesn't exist yet for some reason, but keep your eye out this Saturday!

Was feeling creative at work, so I Housepets!-ified my GF @cerbsalad & a mutual friend of ours @nonhuman-lizard-fox

They both seem to be handling the sudden change in their own unique ways.

03- Cat Tail

Now here we are, establishing one of Housepets!'s longest running themes: queerness.

There's a lot of ink to be spilt about this. Much has been. Housepets! was a comic run for years by a guy who kind of had a reputation as a sexually repressed Evangelical. But right now Peanut's ... interspecies fetish... god, I hate calling it that. I hate that that's an accurate description of what this is supposed to be, god. His cat thing is obviously a metaphor for being a furry in a place where it's not easily accepted. He has no interest in repressing it, because it's a fairly innocent interest really, but he's still embarrased by it. His friends shun him, and the only other person who's also into it is Joey, who's really weird about it.

Very relatable experience, especially for this comic's specific audience.

This is a memory so it might not reflect the whole but when I was really IN this webcomic's fandom it was in a lot of ways not very tolerant of gay shipping. Lots of like, very low-key homophobia. Like you'd suggest that two male characters would be cute together and you'd get a lot of support but you'd also get plenty of people just going "ewww..." This is genuinely how it felt a lot of the time to think Peanut should kiss boys. It was either like the fucking weird homophobia that got accepted or like cub porn or whatever. And like I was 12 so obviously I wasn't hanging out with cub porn people. But like look at him. He should kiss boys. Look at him. How can you deny what's so obvious

There becomes problems later in this arc though. It's like...

Is this not vaguely transphobic. Like just a little. Right? It feels transphobic.

Like in keeping with the furry metaphor it's a joke about how when you're trying to be a furry and the only other furries you see are fucking weird and way too into it. Okay. Like it's obviously treated as harmless weirdness that Peanut is regardless not interested in. The question being - when you're engaging in a subculture with a weird reputation, do you necessarily have to become as weird as the reputation to fit in? No, of course not. You can and should engage to the exact degree to which you're comfortable.

It's just weird that they decided to portray the specific unappetizing weirdness in question as uh ... "Joey wants to be something he's not"

Bit odd, that

EXCEPT... IN A FUCKING RIGHT HOOK FROM NOWHERE...

Ok like. So obviously Grape isn't meant to be trans. It was 2008 and being written by a Christian dude from Alabama.

But like...

I don't even know how to explain this in a way that will convince anybody. If you're not convinced I'm not gonna convince you. But if you're a trans girl this is like, the perfect fantasy of coming out. No one has genitalia in this comic I'm pretty sure. Grape is a girl because she says so. Okay??? Cool!!!

So. Not sure how to feel
