The current story arc started with this strip: What Woo needs.
- Woo: Did you know that some humans work twelve hours a day? And it’s not because they have to, but because they want to!
- Lily: Humans are maybe not as clever as they think they are.

I think it would depend on the job.
Wait… you mean we DON’T have to? DANG IT! Next time, I’m going straight to woodland critters for career guidance.
Another reason that we are NOT, superior to animals in every way.
How true.
@ JA_of_MN:
Yeah, we are. Don’t you lie to me.
*ahem* D’aaaawwwwww
Raccoons can unlock doors, raid the trash, and steal our “WELCOME” mats, and can live to do it another day…
They’re definately more clever that humans!
But what if that job is eating, sleeping, and “cuddling”.
@ Guest:
I would really want to know what job is it
@ Guest:
Food critic/ regular sleep research test subject/ I’m not confident on “cuddling” ‘s meaning so I’ll leave it blank for now, but you get the idea
@ Guest:
Not all in one?
I´d love to hang out in the forest all day, but unfortunately if I don´t work those hours I don´t get to eat, sleap or even cuddle… so… I kinda HAVE to. Take those refreshings naps for me, Woo!
@ Cv:
Sleep * (I could really use so by the way)
I think Frank got it right on the last page.
@ lemonlime:
Man believed he was smarter than dolphins, as he had invented the wheel, New York, and wars, while all the dolphin ever did was muck about in the water having a good time. Coincidentally, dolphins believed they were smarter than man for exactly the same reasons.
I think they got to some “cuddling” time before the current cuddling 😀 😀 😀
lol, so true.
anyway, whats next?
The next comic is gonna be really awesome for Woo. 😉
Who works 12 hours a day? Like from 8:00 to 20:00? Arent, like, laws against that?
No, no, Lily… We’re clever enough…
For instance, we’ve convinced some of the other members of our species to enjoy working 12 hours a day…
@ Hobbes:
shhh, don’t let anyone know that. then they will try and work less
Good point.
@ Guest:
If it is dude then I am in the wrong line of work for sure! LOL!
@ Gerardo:
You’d think, but no, many factory/manual workers and also some self employed people have to work 12 hours shifts to keep the money coming in. And what about doctors and nurses in emergency units who pull double shifts? Those can run to near on 20 hours! So be thankful for your short school day/ 8 hour stint in the office.
Of course, it is very different if it is a job you love. My partner commutes to work for an hour, works a 9 hour day, commutes an hour home and then works for at least 2 hours every evening, but he is always happy doing his job, especially since he started his own company.
Damn you Novil, I’m doing my 12hr work day right now… and I lol!
Your gonna get me fired.
Did you know that some animals have to run/fly/swim around all day to get enough food to feed their spouse and kids? Madness!
Woo and Lily only work [insert minimum time required to read a short comic strip] a day, and only on Mondays and Thursdays. So they have it lucky.
@ Anonymous:
Wait, who works 12 hours a day because they want to? The only people I know who work hours like that are doing it because they need the money to support their family or because they’re so far in debt it’ll take 12 centuries to pay it back.
“I’m in debt up to my eyeballs. I can barely pay my finance charges. Somebody help me!”

For quoting Hitchhiker’s, you, my friend, win.

Lets settle the argument as this, there are smart racoons and dumb racoons just as there are smart humans and dumb ones.
Some racoons are smart enough not to go after chickens given those things make waaaaay too much noise that will attract the farmer. Other racoons though…like the one we had killing our chickens back when I was young, kept raiding the same sight till our good neighbor Lee and his dog Tie helped us kill him.
And lets not forget how some racoons are so dumb that when they see something shiny inside a hole they can fit their hand into (but not their fist) will not let go of that thing until they get it out.
Yay! On Monday, we really get to see what Lilly meant by “cuddling” 😉
Hey, it is called a “job” for a reason. The fact that you get paid to do it proves that it is not all that desirable. If everyone wanted to do your job, you would have to pay for the privilege of doing it.
Hey, that’s insulting! (Is sitting here naked eating cheetos, fighting a heart attack because I want more cheetos.)
@ Midtoon:
You know what? I really hate that argument. People get paid for doing jobs because someone is willing to pay to have it done. If everyone wanted to do it, they wouldn’t have to pay people to do it. But, in a stunning turn of events, we have discovered that different people like different things. So you can easily get a job that some people don’t enjoy but you do.
*Reads cute comic strip , chuckles*… Hehehe, they have to pay for food sometimes woo, so cute, but we’re still clev-…*reads complaining comments about fake characters in a COMIC strip*…… 8/…. How do I become racoon?
‘eyebrow raised’ who says we spend those twelve working hours working?
Since when doing something you WANT to do and getting PAID for it for 12 hours a day not a CLEVER thing?
Silly rascals…
@ Bruno:
This reminds me of Tom Sawyer…
welll…..that’s true…
He’s obviously never met anyone in retail.
“Not because they have to” ? No, really ? Sure. Like we don’t have to work for house, car, taxes, health insurance, education, etc.
Meh … Woo, old boy, you’re quite mistaken here.
Let’s say that us, Humans, are not always keen on being entirely lazy all day like you animals can afford to be.
…
YEAH ! GO, HUMANS !! WE RUUUUUUULE !! ANIMALS SUCK !! >:-D \m/ \m/
Sorry. I just felt like shouting in capitals. And I’m quite fed up by the anti-humans stuff we find everywhere on the internet.
@ Deko:
True ? How true can this be ? It’s pure poppycock ! We can’t live decently being lazy, so we HAVE to work. Isn’t it ?
@ Draccoon:
“Raccoons can unlock doors, raid the trash, and steal our “WELCOME” mats, and can live to do it another day…”
You call that a life ? That’s life of parasite. What kind of sicko weirdo would EVER want a so-called “life” like that ?
Humans are above. Period.
@ ekimmak:
“Man believed he was smarter than dolphins, as he had invented the wheel”
But we actually invented the wheel, y’know ?
“New York”
This was built by humans too.
“wars”
Yeah. And so what ? Is that worse than fighting with your jaws and claws and eating other members of your species for territorial or ressources gain ? Because that’s why animals fight for. Just like we, humans.
So why don’t we cut the bull-cr@p, and stop spewing that self-hating hippy stupidity all over the place ?
@ EIQGOT/Sanchu:
How do we stop stupid people from glorifying lazy, imaginary, comic characters ?
I really love this strip. The pacing and expressions are perfect. 😀
(sorry for the double post. Can someone merge these two comments?)
Anyway, for those who are arguing the semantics of “have to” and “want to” regarding money, I’ve worked a job where we got paid $10 and hour to go out into corn fields and do various things including hoeing and counting the facking plants. No. I’m dead serious. Counting corn. (and in Iowa in the summer, it really blows. Iowa summers are baaad). When they asked if we WANTED to work more hours, we more than often said “yes.” None of us “needed” to. We just “wanted” the money. There is a difference. Working more than 40 hours a week should be a “want to” sort of thing. If you “have to” work more than that you either need a better job or to stop spending your damn money on frivolous things.
@ Bellajtok:
You have the right to hate my argument and there’s nothing I can do about it. I read this comic strip for fun, because I enjoy the story and the art. I don’t post comments here to try to make people agree with me or like my arguments.
If you would still do your job even if you were not paid for it, then you’d be one of the lucky ones who REALLY like their jobs. Count your blessings and enjoy it while it lasts. I’m part of the group that HAS to work for the money and would leave my job in a heart beat to do comics full-time if I didn’t need said money. I still consider myself lucky enough that my job is not counting corn in Iowa like @neveco does and that it allows me some free time to check this comic once in a while.
