[0146] Disordered Retreat

The current story arc started with this strip: Unfavorable Comparison.

You’ve already seen these two bad guys last year in the strip Reliable Sources.

Saskatchewan is one of the funniest words ever, I had to use it sooner or later. ;-) (Saskatchewan is one of the ten Canadian provinces.)

Black eyes are hard to draw when you’re drawing raccoons. ;-)

  • Gus: Hey kit, weren’t we clear enough last year?! The chicks in this territory belong to us!
  • Rocco: What’s up, sweetie?
  • Lily: Paws off!
  • Woo: ROARRR
  • Gus: I’ve heard there’re still some nice free territories in Saskatchewan.

    Completely different situation this time… Woo is not trying to get a mate, but defending her, and Gus and Rocco forgot their brain at home.

    I must say, I love your comic and the many great comments. Love the thumbs system, good way to get rid of bad comments and still I can read them if I choose to do so.
    Love the character development!
    Can’t say that about the characters in my mandatory literature xD

    Good luck writing on, I’m looking forward to wednesday :P

    Seems that, despite the life in the city, Woo can still hear the call of the wild.

    That, or he is mimicking the behaviour of human females in a clothing sale.

    I approve muchly. I’m actually curious how she’ll act, she’ll probably be impressed but a little intimidated if he put too much effort into it. Hopefully he got a bit scratched up too so she’s got something to fuss over – if he’s unscathed she might be a little bit too shocked to keep flirting!

    Against a young male in his prime who is defending the girl he loves, they just never stood a chance.

    Woo, you go, boy! Payback’s a Coon!

    Woo’s had a lot of experience in the wild world over the last year. He’s been through his own set of trials and tribulations, had some wild and not-so-dangerless adventures. This time around, he’s not so easily intimidated. Add in his human connections, and he has connections and resources (including medical care) at his disposal that most of the wildlife there could only dream of.

    As for Tibor… I’d imagine those two clowns are his muscle, not the other way around; he will not likely be coming to avenge them. Given his and Woo’s interactions during the hunter incident, and Woo’s personal involvement in the resolution of that situation, I think he may be slightly less predisposed to running him off…

    I suppose the next step is, he takes Lily home to meet the humans… I wonder how she’ll react to him being able to talk with Sandra.

    too true, bullies usually forget that lack of muscle does not equal can’t defend self. I was 5′3″ and 120 pounds when 3 football practice skippers decided to mess with the chess team.

    can’t go into details of the fight, but when the school security guards arrived 5 minutes later they took the guy who was left by his friends unconcous to the nurse and me to the principal’s office. I wasn’t suspended as much as I was advised to not show up to school for two weeks.

    Another of my posts is censored by my peers in the name of the Politically Correct, what I said was true.
    In mating season males get more violent, and some people castrate their pets so they don have the hormones raving in their bodies like woo.
    So yes, he havent had some in a while and is friking angrier, Its hormonal

    Absolutely! I vote for Sandra & Woo almost daily, whether there’s an update or not. :-)

    @Gerardo… I suspect your comment was voted down for its language, not your sentiment. ;-)

    @Hobbes… The Sicilian = Tibor? Wasn’t he the ringleader raccoon in the arc these guys first showed up in?

    @Novil… It may not be particularly “inspired”, but it’s definitely good! (And it inspired quite a few comments, mostly positive!) Certainly well-drawn too. And I like the little detail of the tag on one raccoon’s ear. I can’t remember if it was there in their previous appearance though.

    Surprised by the comments, Novil? Woo’s just turned into a protective beast!

    I didn’t think Woo could ever have that much strength in him. I love it when the undercoon wins so handily, especially when you contrast Woo’s respectfulness to the thuggery of the two larger coons.

    It’s a particularly touching moment, in a violent way.

  63. jup-reindeer says:

    This kind of reminds me of a real life experience from years ago when the family owned chickens. Had some bruiser type roosters that always liked to fight and were very agressive towards the hens. They were kept separated. And, then there was this opposite male. Incredibly timid. Ran from any conflict with those others. Always mellow. Kept him with the hens, as there was no trouble for it.

    Well, this weasel started coming around, figuring out how to get into the cages at night. The bruisers never stood a chance. But, when that killer attempted to make a meal of the hens, that mellow rooster became something fierce and we burried the predator, the following morning.

    This strip shows how Woo has changed compared to last year and the change made him awesome!
    He is still the same racoon we all learned to love trough your comic but now he’s also someone woo who stands up and fight’s for what is right.
    (ok, now I’ve become a bit too dramatic again XD’ )

    Also I just realized the bitemark on Rocco’s ear-tag XD
    that’s really a nice detail and it really made me laugh ^^

    I just adore the fact that ‘affection’ granted him a bravery that ‘lust’ did not. The first girl was ’sexier’ but he was only in lust, so he left when told to. Now that he thinks he’ll really like the girl, he’s willing to fight. Awesome.
