- Sandra: See, there’s no reason not to trust humans. Now wait a moment, I have something for you.
- Sandra: It’s something that will touch your heart.
- Sandra: A load of lead!
- Sandra: MUAHAHA!
- Woo: There’s no rifle in the drawer.
- Lily: Now check the cabinet!

Heh. Touch her heart. I get it.
Aren’t we getting a little too excited there, Lily?
Okay, are the top right panels Lily’s imagination or Sandra messing with Lily?
Just wait until Lily found the secret weapon of Empress of Northia, <a href="“>the impulse-triggered high-speed sphere accelerator.
Sandra keeps her rifle under her pillow.
Awww, she’s holding my paw so innocently! So gently! so pure! So ~ wait a minute, this is almost too easy. It’s a trap. She’s going to off me, take Woo… and some other crazy girl with a bolt action rifle. I’m onto you, Sandra North!
just slightly paranoid are we, Lily?
Woo trusts her
@ myth buster:
Her imagination. That’s why it’s in a thought bubble. XD
Wellp, there goes Lily’s chances for a belly rub. The best way to a raccoon’s heart.
Woo looks a little pissed there. I see some “post-first fight trauma” happening in the near future. XD
Well, the thing about long guns is that they’re pretty useless at extreme close quarters. If you were lying on her lap, Sandra wouldn’t even be able to bludgeon you with it properly. She wouldn’t be able to retrieve it from wherever you think she’s hiding it, either. And if both her hands were busy raccoon-petting, she wouldn’t be able to pick it up. Or want to. Hint, hint… >:=)>
More to the point… a rifle won’t fit in a drawer. Talk about your ‘Physical Impossibilities’. 🙂 *While you could make a drawer one would fit in, the drawer shown does not have the space required.*
Now, a pistol, or maybe a sawed off, might be a different tale. However, the best weapon for the situation is probably a taser. Less holes in the wall and all that. Lily is definately worried about the wrong weapon here.

A 12 year old with a rifle. Pretty badass if you ask me.
What is the broken bubble speech all about in the last panel? i think Sandra cannot understand Lily? And Woo is the only talking racoon. only woo in the last panel can understand lily?
I like how the page is constructed, with the top half right there, and THEN you scroll down to see the rest. It flows well that way.
@ yumi03:
I think since both Woo and Lily have the same kind of bubble, I think they’re speaking in Raccoonish (reference to the “Reliable Sources” strip).
Everything IS better with maniacal laughter
I think the top panels are imagination. Note the puzzlement on Sandra’s face.
Btw, happy happy! New comic! I just finished the backlogged ones, so the swift updates make me happy…
Let’s just hope and pray Lily doesn’t go looking in the attic and find that old coonskin cap!
One needs not a rifle to shoot someone – a pistol will do as well.
And, for small game, there are airguns that will work nicely (I remember taking rabbits & squirrels on extended hunting trips to keep the pot boiling, while waiting to make best use of my tags.)
But, the flipside (what i usually soothinly tell our ratties when they get skittish…) “I’ve had all this time to hurt you, don’t you think I’d have done it by now?”
They don’t understand the words, but the tone seems to help. Just like children – but more fun, and no-one threatens to lock you up when you put them in their cage for the night…
Looks like Lily read that comment where I posted part of that “Weaponry” song ffrom Phineas and Ferb. XD
Ex-empress of Northia to be exact@ AckAckAck:
Feet.
I look at Panels #3 & #4, then I scroll down to see an ad for Hitman: Absolution.
IT ALL MAKES SENSE!
Hilarious follow-up. A few things come to mind though:
I wonder if Lily knows that Sandra can understand her.
I think Lily ought to trust Woo on this, given that he’s actually *had* a gun pointed at him once.
Didn’t Lily initially burst out laughing at the idea that a little girl takes care of Woo?
Also Sandra, aren’t you forgetting something? Namely the offering of unlimited free food? Heck, if your experience with Woo is any indication, an unlocked refrigerator will suffice.
This is unfortunately how I feel most of the time.
Friend you say? Oh no, show me your hands! PALMS UP! PALMS UP!
Okay not that bad, but still.
Oh it Will be fun if Lily ever meets Larissa.
But where’s Cloud?
And then Supervillain Larissa shows up and ruins everything.
So why is Sandra sitting there with no shoes on! With a hysterical wild animal in the room; she really ought to limit her exposure of biteable parts.
She’s played the Hunger Games board game. “The best way to a boy’s heart is between the third and fourth ribs with a sharp arrow.”
I hope Sandra threw away that “pink and girly tiara,” or this just might get bad.
I love how Sandra is totally rolling with this and just waiting for Lily to calm down.
looks like a daughter in law meeting the mother in law…..
Squeaky squeak squeak, squeak squeakitty squeak.
Someone is being paranoid…
@ Matthew:
Not so odd – I got my first .22 when I was seven…
Just sit on her, Lily. That will keep her from getting away.
Anyway, if she does reach for something that could be a rifle, there is a window open for escape.
Shot through the heart! And Woo’s to blame! Woo gives love… a bad name.
Better safe than sorry, I say!
@ myth buster:
Imagination. You can see her thought bubbles if you look closely.
Literally lol’d all over the place…
The panel with Sandra attacking with the rifle. Oh Hai Jei! That expression looks just like that demon from Usagi Yojimbo. Scary as Hell.
Lily really hasn’t thought this through; can you imagine what Richard would say if Sandra shot lots of little holes in the house?

I read that, and I just feel sad imagining what would happen to anyone who gave a seven year old a gun today.
No, see, the shooting doesn’t start UNTIL you become my friend. The entire mutually-understood basis for nearly all of my friendships is that we’re actively trying to kill each other, and the friendship stems from the fact that we’ve all repeatedly failed.
See? Respect. It goes a long way.
introducing girlfriend to your mom, boy talk about akward load it give on the guys.
