[0080] Big Game Hunt

The current story arc started with this strip: Summer by the Lakeside.

After playing around with the panel layout in previous strips like You’ve Got Mail and 10:27:42, it was time for another innovative approach and try a first person view (of Tanya Dean). I am very happy with the way this turned out.

  • Tanya Dean: The chicken sandwich is delicious, isn’t it?
  • Kevin Dean: Yes, mom.
  • Tanya Dean: OW!!
  • Tanya Dean: What, in God’s name,…
  • Kevin Dean: OUCH!
  • Jeffy Dean: AAAH!
  • Tom Dean: OW!! Ow! ow.
  • Tanya Dean: … is happening here?
  • Tanya Dean: Zzz

    In the animal’s defense, he was only protecting his territory.

    The hunter becomes the hunted! Always good to see that!

    Now if we armed all of our wildlife with high powered dart rifles, that would make things interesting… and more than a little dangerous. More reason to never leave the house (like I need more reasons)

    Wasn’t there a video game series or two involving Bambi doing the same thing? Can’t recall the name of it now…

    Hopefully Woo didn’t drive the truck as well.

    If this comic were made in japan I would know what happens next, but since this is german I’d say they end up in a cage.

    Woo must have done a stint with GSG-9. Pretty fancy shooting with that air rifle.

    You would think giving the crazed lady even more reasons to wipe the forest out would be a bad thing.

    Question: Since when can raccons/kids Sandra’s age (I assume she’s fairly young) buy dart rifles and ammo?

    Somewhere in my game library is Deer Avenger 3…or perhaps it was 4. Not much else out there, ’cause I never got “John ‘Deer’ Rambo” past the prototype stage for the original PlayStation hardware.

    Oh-hoh! It’ll be very interesting to see where this goes. I like that fade-out / eye closing effect and the mood of panel 5. ^^

    And uhh guys… Sometimes a comic is just a comic. Go with it eh?
    Besides… Nobody thinks Sandra’s dad was the one to buy the rifle / ammo? We’ve already seen him stuff a cruel pet owner in a cage.

    Oh snap! Woo with a dart rifle? How many other animals have one? I bet she will be interrogeted by Sandra (and/or other animals in the shadows) mafia style.

    Another option would have been to wait for the trapper to return to check the traps. Regulations require the traps to be checked daily and that they be tagged with the trapper’s name and other information. Woo’s rifle looks competition grade. An RWS or a Hammerli?

    Hahaha…. I think as C. Nostra Humane Pest Control are involved, they are going to be trapped, then released into the wild somewhere a long way off?

    Or maybe released into the city where they belong, and will feel more comfortable?

    My guess is that all the forest animals that fell victim to Tanya’s evil traps will finally be able to have their beautiful revenge against Tanya HELL YESSS can’t wait to see her face in pure terror when she wakes up oh darn!
    I wonder what Woo and the other animals have in mind in punishing that sorry pitful human being: like, being hanged upside down and lowered into a hot boiling pot, tickled silly to death, spraying a can of whip cream at her face while tied to a tree, ah man the possibilties are endless! lol
    @ Rocket_T_Coyote! hehe thank you RT Coyote Scarlet the Squirrel is just one of my favorite furry characters ^_^

    Looks like a Larabie 2000 rifle. Shoots tranks but instead of compressed air it uses a .308 cardridge with the dart instead of the bullet. Max range, 1000 yards,
