- Woo: Without Sandra and Richard’s help, I’d never have arrived in time before the lightning strike.
- Lily: Certainly.
- Woo: They’ve done so much for me already, and now they’ve even helped to save your life.
- Lily: I’ll be forever grateful to them.
- Woo: So maybe you shouldn’t raid their fridge.
- Lily: I can’t help it! It just came over me!

Just remember Woo. You did the same thing when you first arrived

Except he gorged himself on the fridge contents rather than bag it for later. 😉
Woo: I am going to have to introduce you to the science of “asking nicely”. That’s how a raccoon in a domestic situation like this can obtain food and stuff without stealing it!
Lily: I-I don’t understand… you don’t take it, so how…?
Woo: How best to explain? Hmmmmm… (he mouths to himself, gestures vaguely, his gaze searching in the middle distance) …you know, actually, I think we’d better start with the puppy dog eyes. I’ll demonstrate first, then you can try!
@ Moxie Man:
Tomato – Tomato
Wow, that reference does not work when you write it down
Looks like Lily is repaying the North family by clearing some space in the fridge.
It’s like squirrels all over again!
Love is Love
businesses are businesses
Still have that food envy, huh Lily?
Great epilogue for a great arc!
Also I suggest Lily give her thanks to Sandra by raiding Zoey’s family fridge.
lol…once a scavenger…
I love that embarrassed/blushing on Lily’s face. It’s so adorable, I wanna give her a hug. Then some cookies 😀
You can take the raccoon out of the forest, but you can’t take the forest out of the raccoon. It’s what omnivores do; scavenge. Woo needs to teach Lily what it means to be housebroken when they’re at Sandra’s house.
Woo: “Wait, when did they get salmon?”
*both of them look at the fish, then at each other*
Woo: “…I’ll let it slide if I get half.”
Lily: “DEAL!” *starts gobbling her half*
Woo: “WOO!” *eats his half*
If Sandra or Richard are Midnight Snackers they’ll blame each other before the racoons.
That’s exactly how a raccoon would behave, they go right for the food….not unlike stoners.
I had the same problem as a growing teenage boy.
If I could learn to allow other family members to have sufficient food before devouring everything else like a swarm of locust I’m sure Lily can too.
My father also went to the trouble of showing proof that I was consuming >55% of the food budget of a family of 5; I was so proud.
The only difference here between Lily and myself is I’m not usually organized enough to use a bag.

@ Drone:
False, I eat a lot and I’m still skinny.
That’s right, be jealous. That is my true sustenance…
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
I love Woo’s change in facial expressions. Lol.
@ Drone:
My father justified the expense of feeding “the bottomless pit” by putting me to work building first the 1500sqft building for his small business and then the 2000sqft worth of house to replace our dilapidated old mobile home. I worked 10-14 hour days a minimum of 5 days of the week through what the America public school system calls “summer vacation” and most weekends at least 6 hours a day.
He priced out what it would have cost to hire a competent experienced worker to replace my labor on every part of construction except concrete, masonry and carpet. It worked out to a number somewhere from $50,000 to $125,000 depending on the experience of the subcontractor.
This was a very educational experience, it was also a lot of very hard work; try roofing in +105F° weather when the roof gets hot enough to melt the soles of your shoes.
Being coerced in to this ultimately beneficial forced labor situation was probably also a method of proactive crisis management: I had a lot of unintentionally/clumsy destructive hyperactive energy. It was probably for the best that it was harnessed for good and not evil.
@ Drone:
Actually a national study states that fat(obese) kids tend to eat LESS than their skinny counterparts.

Whether your fat or not usually has more to do with how much you exercise and how good your metabolism is. Granted eating 500lb’s of junk food will get you fat quicker but I’m guessing he wasn’t just eating junk food if it was greater than 50% of their food.
@ John Willow:
Try writing it phonetically. Tomayto – tomahto.
@ q`Tzal:
That’s looking on the bright side. On the dark side, you just forfeited at least $50,000 by agreeing to do all that for free.
Where is Double Crazy Raccoon Woman?
Or should it be Raccoon Breeder now?
@ Jason:
Father said DO! I had no options.
Think (Dr Gregory House) +(The Great Santini) +(Sheldon Cooper) as a father but erase all the warm fuzzy bits.
Dark times that have thankfully past. No one that knows him maintains contact with him unless they have to. My phone numbers have been unlisted and unregistered for decades because of him and I have managed a kinda “witness protection lite” for my immediate family.
At a risk of putting the discussion back on topic
Does Lily always carry a bag, or is that some repurposed upholstery?
You know what they say; old habits die hard.

THIS JUST IN! :
Scientists discover 5th fundamental force of nature that acts along with the Strong and Weak forces, electromagnetism and gravity; this as of yet unnamed force is theorized to be at the root of all distracting and tangential effects in the universe.
Current guess is that there is a god but she/he got distracted playing Minecraft 5D.
Sorry;-)

Ya could try it as Tomato – Tomahto…
So is Lily going to live with them now
… do not pay any attention to this comment, it is to see the time difference in my zone so i know what time to expect new comics…….
And the smiles and giggles are back!
@ John Willow:
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Actually there is a 5th fundamental force but for some reason scientists have just been coming up with BS explanations for things rather than acknowledging it all of the 4 currently accepted forces are attractive in nature and so fail to account for the motion of everything from galaxies to the various orbits (including those of stars, planets, moons, and even electrons) to the motion of neutrinos (despite the fact that they demonstrably impervious to the 4 known fundamental forces).
