Housepets! is a popular long running webcomic by artist/writer, Rick Griffin.
The series follows the adventures of anthropomorphic dogs, cats, ferrets pretty much any animal who can talk in this universe. They live with their "parents" (Their masters whom they refer to as their moms or dads).
The comic itself is very fun to read and I really enjoy the characters (except for Bino). I think Peanut captures the true personality of a dog: excited, lovable, loyal and kind. I really like the other characters, Fox and King because they have great chemistry, they have a good brotherly bond, and a friendship done right. Out of all the characters my favorite has to be Fox, because he is loyal and friendly and smart.
The art style has evolved a lot. Mr.Griffin likely went through three or four different changes. In the first book, the characters had awkwardly giant hands which was weird at first but I got past it. The earlier designs was also slightly flat almost as if the author had "same face syndrome" because most of the characters I could barely tell apart. The current art style however is great. They look more distinct and three dimensional and their espressions are made to be well, expressive.
The writing is very good, and that's saying something cause considering Rick started a new career as a writer. The story arcs have a good blend of humor as well as some really serious story writing. Like I think if he wanted to, Rick could make a graphic novel because he has the makings of a good writer. He writes very unique plots, and has great character development leaving you wanting more.
Overall Housepets! is an amazing webcomic with fun characters and entertaining stories. If you love slice of life/adventure comics with adorable characters then please give this a read.
