[0016] The Right Decision

When I was going for a walk in the forest with my parents, we sometimes stopped to play baseball with a stick and pine cones. It was always quite difficult to hit the “ball”.

  • Shadow: Greetings. My name is Shadow. I would really appreciate it if you wouldn’t eat Sid.
  • Woo: You want him all to yourself, eh? Forget it! Either I eat him or I let him go!
  • Shadow: As delicious as he may be, Sid is still my best and only friend. If you ate him, I’d be very lonely in the future. But it’s your catch. You can do with it whatever you want.

    I’ve tried that before with a stick and a rock. A bit more difficult to hit than a pinecone, I gotta say.

    I’m confused. Why was squirrley so concerned about the eating in the previous strip if they’re best buddy-friends?

    @Rabid: He said, “I swear I’m telling the truth! Or the Shadow will catch and devour me!” This implies confidence that the Shadow will *not* catch and devour him, and his smile backs up that interpretation. It’s like saying, “If I’m lying, I hope to be struck by lightning.”

    Hey Tommy. Also, could be that indeed. Either way, the management of time-lapse between the penultimate and final panels here is glorious.

    Great comics! Thank you for posting it in both German and English, I’ve been trying to learn German and this comic really helps!

    OK. So, can the whole forest talk in Human? And, just how much can they truly do, if camp fires are a no brainer? Sounding very much like the only pedistal that Humanity has to sit on now is the one it self-created. And, having that blind eye helps, too.
