[0045] The Dark Side Of The Force

If you are a new reader, be sure to check out the previous comic to fully understand this one.

I am sure my father will love this comic. He hates Tweety even more than I do. And I’ve always rooted for Sylvester. But let’s face it: Sylvester was incompetent to the core! He had so many chances to put Tweety into his mouth and bite off some important body parts. But he was always too slow or stupid to take the chance. Woo is not such a loser. Woo is a competent carnivore.

  • Woo: You’re feeling totally secure in your locked cage, eh?
  • Tweety: Of tourse.
  • Woo: I’m quoting: “To reach the morsel of food, the raccoons had to open several complex locks. It became apparent that the animals…”
  • Woo: “… needed less than 10 tries to open 11 out of 13 locks.”
  • Tweety: Uh oh.
  • Sandra: I have no idea what you did, but it was as if one voice was suddenly silenced, and millions suddenly cried out in joy.

    Is the bit from the book a real quote that I don’t recognize or is it entirely made up?

    That accursed bird finally got its just deserts. How utterly delightful!

    No no no – that accursed bird finally *became* just dessert.

    Actually, there is a “final” cartoon where the coyote catches the roadrunner. The scene goes like this: Both enter big pipe that goes to small size. Both enter and both are reduced in size. They reverse directions. Roadrunner becomes full size while coyote stays same size. He grabs the roadrunner very happy, and then sees the roadrunner eyeing him as a meal. Coyote turns to audience and holds up sign — “Okay, I caught him.” He spins sign around — “Now what the @#% do I do?”

    As to today’s cartoon, Woo doesn’t look too thrilled. He is holding his tummy as if something doesn’t agree with it. And let’s not forget Granny. Both our characters better be very fast runners.

    YEEEEEEEE!!!! The bird became lunch at last! Even better, a morsel!
    Oh, end Cairn: the episode you quoted was n°42, ‘Soup or Sonic’ and the sign read first “Okay, wise guys, -you always wanted me to catch him-” and then “now what do I do?”

    I might also add that this is probably the best fanservice comic I’ve ever read!

    Sorry for the double post, but this came to me during breakfast: (If one can remember Tweety’s song “I tawt I taw a puddy tat…” )

    O thought I saw a Tweety Bird just hanging before me!
    I did! I did, a Tweety bird, obnoxious as can be!
    So then I opened up the cage, it started World War III,
    For not the little Tweety bird is deep in my tummy!

    There’s a very good reason Sylvester never succeeded where Woo has in eating Tweety. Sylvester was under contract with Warner Bros. His contract forbade him from successfully eating Tweety. :)

    Great strip. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who didn’t like Tweety.

  14. Benjamin says:

    YES, than you for finally getting rid of that little bird. Tweety seems to have gotten cocky and thought he could get away with harassing animals other than cats. I always rooted for Sylvester.

    I bet Woo is holding is stomach because he ate Tweety whole. All those feathers tickling his insides can’t feel good. That and running after eating a full meal isn’t the best thing to do.

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure the bird disagreed a lot.

    Benjamin

    My sympathetic side hopes not… annoying or not, being dissolved is probably quite the painful way to go. And my non-sympathetic side points out that every time Sylvester tried that, Tweety got out (I know he’s gotten out of Sylvester’s mouth dozens of times, and pretty sure he’s gotten out of Sylvester’s stomach before)

    It shouldn’t be too hard to outrun the owner. They don’t call her Granny for nothing.

    I think it is a slightly altered quote from a book in oblivion 4, the title of it being the theif of virtue, but I could be wrong its been awhile

    Lol, Definitely deserved it!!! Well, Sylvester would be proud! I love you, Woo!!!

  26. Novil says:

    Sandra’s line is derived from a semi-famous quote by Obi-Wan Kenobi after the Death Star has blown up Alderaan:

    “I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.”

    the pity is:
    cos woo ate tweety, he can’t gloat over the triumph in tweety’s face.

    The quoted book is entirely real (to answer Cousin Chair): H.B. Davis, “Concerning The Intelligence of Raccoons”, 1908.

    Something I just noticed… anyone else notice the irony in this whole situation starting with the bird calling him fat?

    Gawd,someone finally put that stupid bird out of his misery.I always hated Tweety,he was annoying as hell.

  34. Novil says:

    Wanderer is right that the information is from this scientific article, but the quote is not directly taken from this article or a real book since I had to change and rearrange the wording to increase the dramatic effect.

    Do I sense another famous Warner Bros quote coming on? One which goes something like this:
    “One of these days, one of these days POW! Right in the kisser!”
    That is, if Granny catches up with them.

    hahaha feathers floating out of his mouth :D
    the bird can’t be that big to cause a tummy bulge though can it? maybe a cartoon-style hammering on the inside of his gut trying to get out doing that

    claws that can pick locks, that’s a handy thing to have!

    In a way, it’s kind of sad. After all, we are talking about a bird in a cage. Just like a fish in a barrel. They have no means of defending themselves or hiding. And, that’s just the way a raccoon likes it.

    Also, of all the Loony’ies, Tweety is the only one given a defender. (Unless I’m forgetting someone.) Most are either witty, lucky or have a billion lives. But, that little yellow feathered critter could barely do anything more then fly and cry. Yea, Granny’s no match for a non-Loony, like Woo.

    On the other hand, it’s that annoying bird that mocks with the big mouth. Good riddance!

    “It’s rabbit season!”

    “It’s duck season!”

    “Rabbit season!”

    Woo looks at the two. Bugs notes and replies, “Ehhhhh….I don’t think he care’s, doc.”

    He was 3-and-a-half years old and was originally naked. That was long enough. NOW we know why raccoons weren’t in WB classic cartoons.

    Next: Speedy Gonzales?

    (And has anyone noticed that Tweety has been transgendered by the WB marketeers? S/He is now being marketed to women, as Looney Tunes have no decent female characters.)

    @Torsten,
    I wouldn’t recomend Woo messing with speedy, remember, his buddy is Slowpoke Rodregous, the slowest mouse in all Mexico…But he carries a BIG GUN.
