- Butterfly: This has gone like clockwork so far. Now just this little jump…
- Vulture: … over a yawning chasm of such difficulty that it’s deemed to be impossible by even the most dexterous squirrels!
- Mori: Mmhpf!!
- Butterfly: And vultures wonder why they have such a bad reputation…

They Can’t be ALL that bad, I mean….that vulture gave Butterfly a warning before she jumped…yea?
Is that the eagle that is supposed to catch her?
@ Lord Coyote:
Well, it certainly looks that way.
But let’s look at this situation here- The vulture has tied up the eagle (quite a feat!) so that it won’t be able to catch Butterfly in the event that she will fall off the cliff. That way she will fall to her death.
But why? For lunch might be an obvious answer, but surely it will be unable to claim its prey because of the SIXTY THOUSAND RACCOONS watching below! I don’t know how much Vultures can carry, but unless he can bring Butterfly up to its nest I don’t think the fans will appreciate that too much.
Well, at least the eagle won’t catch and devour her if she falls. And the vulture will only eat her if the impact proves fatal, as it is a scavenger! Now, just block out that nasty, critical voice at the back of your head, and that vulture as well, and make the jump!
Reynard: Ten to one she lands square but fumbles the grab.
Coyote: I’ll bet twenty on that, haha!
@ Mr_Nabby:
And even then, I think the most skilled climbers among the crowd (like Hank) would atempt a rescue in case Butterfly is just injured/uncautious. So unless the vulture has a secondary nest on the cliff that none have been able to climb, he will have to carry her away quite a way in order to escape the raging mob.
Mori, huh? Seems like we will see more of the tied up bird soon. Hope Butterfly’s confidence to make that jump isn’t crushed.
And then I realize that’s the Eagle that will save her.
Thanks, Vulture. You are just the nicest person. (///Sarcasm) You selfish, hungry bastard, you.
The vultures reputation just worsened
I suppose you can’t blame them, they’re opportunists after all.
I would ask if the Heroine Butterfly would save the eagle but this is my first comment, as I have trouble holding one line of thought.
That’s how it’s done Butterfly. Stay cool, stay classy, stay ironic!
@ Lord Coyote:
well Thank you, I was trying to find out who was the eagle…I forgot about them
Time to find a rescue bird for the rescue bird.
With all the attempts made to climb that By ssaid squirrels etc. how many of them have been self delivered and tenderized dinner? Wouldn’t take much effort either, one wing gust mid jump or a grab at any who made the jump.
And yet another piece of confidence in animals shatters
Strange. After playing super Mario sunshine all weekend, I can see butterfly jumping on to that rock.
Vulture hear me and hear me good ! If you so as lay a talon on that Raccoon…
Switch Master will whoop yo OSS !!!!
Oh yes compared to the secrets in Mario sunshine this climb looks like a cake walk. Least she doesn’t have to constantly jump on and off a sand bird that flips over and is a pain to wait on. Don’t feel scared Butterfly remember what Woo said and go for it! XD
I’m gonna bet that vulture TOTALLY just saved her life by preventing the eagle from carrying her off mid-jump.
She looks strangely sexy in the second panel. :\
Hmm, maybe it’ll be like that pit in the latest Batman trilogy; not having a safety rope increases the likelihood of succeeding, due to the consequences of failure being more threatening.
Now I feel like chanting whatever they were chanting in that movie, whatever the words were.
Look Death clean in the eyes… and snark at it.
Well done.
and everyone forgot the eagle, except the vulture… wait a minute. BUTTERFLY!
Vulture’s really are mean. And despite being mainly scavengers, they are also predatory. A normal vulture would eat a live or dead raccoon if its hungry enough and can catch it.
I’m wondering two things:
1: How hard would it be for Butterfly to climb up to that nest and start cutting cords with her claws?
2: How many cuts would she have to do before Mori shakes of the rest, says “Thanks!”, and proceeds to get himself (herself? I can never tell with eagles….) a nice meal of Buzzard BitesTM?
No, three things: Can Butterfly get that many cuts done before Vulture tries to bump her off?
At least butterfly looks calm now.
There have been a lot of vultures eating flat squirrels in my neighborhood lately. And now they’re in my favorite webcomics. Some sort of conspiracy…
Butterfly totally needs to go and bust up a Vulture.
“change of plans” first I rescue my rescue eagle, than I make the jump”
@ tehtimmah:
then, not than. Oh English, why you have to be so hard….
Well it beats the Superbowl
Rule of thumb:
Eagle has name, Mori is going to be important.
@ illeatyourself:
You’ve been watching too many pole dancers.
@ illeatyourself:
I think Powree just draws the female racoons in an effeminate way to distinguish them from the males, and in that particular panel, because of the positioning, it’s just more obvious than usual. I also think you could have phrased that in a way that wouldn’t have squicked everyone out so much, judging by all the thumbs down you got. But maybe that would have been less funny.
What I’ve wondered since the start of this climb is…
who the heck scouted the route? If the jump and catching a claw into the crack in the rock is so impossible, how does anyone know that is the way to make the climb???
@ Mr_Nabby:
Wait, didn’t she say something about the eagle “losing to it’s urges”? I smell an evil dirty vulture.
So I saw an ad for this comic on another website, and it was the lesbian strip with Zoey. I thought this rather peculiar, as this comic is completely innocent and fun. Why should it’s ad be the most raunchy strip there is?
And then…I had the moment of truth.
Ladies and gentleman, I would like to establish Oliver Knorzer as the greatest man of the 21st century for his intellect, integrity, and humanitarianism. I realized that he put the most risque strip as the ad for this comic ON PURPOSE to bring sick-minded people who are addicted to porn and lesbian material to this innocent little webcomic about a bunch of sweet little kids who grow up and mature. And then all sickness in those people diminishes. Novil is shaping the next generation into mature but fun people who turn away from sin. I am truly touched by this act for the good of man. May his actions be told about forever!
Vultures are dicks to the living. *CinemaSins Ding!*
@ MawileCeyvis:
True Story Bro ( or girl if it applies ) I was minding my buissness on The Cuttingroom Floor . Com when I saw this bizzare comic. At the time it was the one where Sandra was dreaming of kissing Cloud and in reality kissed Woo. I thought it was some weird ass MMORPG shit but it said read more. Oh cool I thought its some kind of Manga. I am a big fan of Japanese Art and Anime and I work endlessly to try to make my own. I’ve been hooked on this ever since. Good Job Oliver !
Oh and ps Mawhile is my favorite Pokemon! I like how he’s so badass that he can kill Pokemon backwards.
Would somebody please explain to me how a vulture managed to tie up an eagle?
@ myth buster:
The Vulture’s talonted.
