![[0080] Big Game Hunt](/comics/2009-07-27-[0080]-big-game-hunt.png "[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

Hmmmmm. I don’t see any good comin of this. Not much at all.
In the animal’s defense, he was only protecting his territory.
When ya see a raccoon with a sniper rifle, ya know your screwed badly
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.
@Bargamer- Are you thinking of “Deer Avenger”?
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.
=O Oh my!!
Not sure what to make of this. Hmm. Badass panel 5, though.
Any bets on what compromising position Woo places them in before the cops come?
BarGamer, here is a flash game somewhere along those lines: http://www.addictinggames.com/deershooter.html
Woo must have done a stint with GSG-9. Pretty fancy shooting with that air rifle.
What is with the Zs in the last panel? Is Woo dreaming?
Tom- No, those are the z’s of the crazy mom falling asleep. The rifle fired tranquilizer darts.
Woo has become an anti-human animal resistance soldier nice! DO they sell camo gear and such equipment to the animals at the Humane Pest Control?
Woo’s got natural camo 🙂
Yeah forsho :D!!
Hooo boy.
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.
Who says that Woo didn’t “borrow” the rifle/darts?
We saw Sandra go into the store…
now that is just AWESOME! the first person perspective is amazingly well done.
Oh snap, it’s on now.
TOO LATE GAME ON!!! lol woo is one crazy hunter
Raccoons with tranq rifles?! 😀 Game over man, game over! LOL!
Looking at the tags, I must thank the author for not naming any of the crazy hunter (hunted?) lady’s relatives “Jimmy.”
Just remember Kipling’s warning dear Woo.
Be very very quiet,I’m hunting humans.
I just noticed a certain sound effect….

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.
Am I the only guy who thought “Oh, crap. Woo’s connected to the mob.” on first reading the strip?
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?
Cute avatar, Shadow M!
Woo shooting people with tranquilizers? WIN.
I agree with the first comment. I see nothing good coming of this. Perceptive marsupial, that.
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?
*blinks* Did anyone else see Astro Boy instead of Woo in the 4th and 5th panels? *Earthbound Mystery SFX*
My bet is in nude as an animal with all her traps around them.
My dirty, dirty mind suspects that she will be photographed in compromising poses, then blackmailed.
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 ^_^
Badass Woo!
I can’t believe no one has mentioned this yet! raccoons with rifles? Pistols for pandas?

She is not playing fair, why shoud Woo
Crikey! Wot we ‘ave ‘eyah is a meeeeaaaaan lil bahhhhstahd, the two-legged fork-tongued dirty-dealah! Sure is a nahhhsty lookin’ crittah, ain’t ‘ee?
I’m gonna go poke ‘im in the nose.
(GULP)!
I’m glad I’m on HIS side.
Panel 5 is friggin EPIC
I’m loving this comic. The banner ad at the top just happened to be especially fitting. It was an ad for Front Site Professional Firearms Training.
