- Butterfly: You seem to know a lot about K2.
- Flint: Yes, I do. Mountaineering is my passion!
- Butterfly: Mountaineering? Isn’t this state lacking… mountains for that?
- Flint: True that. But I’m from the Sierra Nevada. I even ascended Mount Whitney from its East Face once!
- Butterfly: Wow, that’s really cool. Say, Flint, are you in the mood for a new challenge?
- Flint: You mean…?
- Flint: Sure! It’d be an honor to be your climbing partner!

naughty seeoahtlahmakaskay…
That cheeky god.
Woo! I called it 😀 Look at that sly wink!
Cue Looney Tunes closing sequence:
Seeoahtlahmakaskay: “That’s omniscience, folks!” 8•)
I wonder if Seeoath will also do this with Butterfly’s children since she’s done it twice so far. Each time, the children will be even better climbers. Can we expect that in three generations, we will have the first raccoon to climb to the moon?
Seeoahtlahmakaskay: *puts cigar in mouth* “I love it when a plan comes together”
So, which state is this set in? I thought it was in Colorado or Minnesota. If there are no mountains, then Colorado is clearly not correct. Clearly, somewhere in the northern United States, perhaps near the Great Lakes. Wisconson?
@ SmartAlec105:
she’s allowed to break the 4th wall. being a goddess and whatnot (:
Seems like if your goddess wants you having children, you’ll have children either you want it or not.
Moral of this story: DON’T MESS WITH YOUR GODDESS!
Well played goddess, well played
With goddess like this, who need matchmaker? 😉
Gee, what a surprise…NOT!
@ David Nuttall:
All of the Great Lakes states are in the Midwest. And if you take a look at a satellite image of the US, you’ll see many states that don’t have mountains, including the West.
@ David Nuttall:
Pretty sure it IS Colorado, and there ARE mountains… but probably not quite the type a raccoon would have to use mountaineering skills for. From what I remember from my trips out there, most of them seem fairly gradual, as in it’s more of a slightly rough hike than a climb to get up them. Granted, we were only an hour out of Denver in a small town near Pikes Peak so that may have to do with it.
Ooooooooooooh Damnit! That’s ok I knew it was going to involve Seekay somehow hehehehe you sneaky Deity you.
But you can’t be mad at Seekay she’s only trying to make Butterfly happy. I think they’ll be great friends.
@ Greenwood Goat:
Hmmm maybe Seekay’s face should be replaced with a Troll face. It would make this more hilarious and ironic.
Why settle down when you can get a guy with your same passion?
Hmm, if that’s the end of the story, it made for a pretty good denouement, but I wonder…
Love always finds a way, no matter what… Seekay, you cheeky coon, you always have an ace up your sleeve.
And boom go all the naysayers who claim the authors of this strip were being sexist. Seriously, folks, stop worshipping that God of Political Correctness you keep on your digital altars, and let them tell the story. =)
Seekay you really are cupid in the raccoon world, who knows, maybe raccoons may surpass humans in mountain climbing and be the first to reach mount everest without equipment!
A funny twist would be if they ended up being climbing partners like they said, but nothing else.
D’awwwwwww.
That is all.
Am I the only one who thinks that wink makes the goddess look cute?
Just as planned….
…Oh Seeoahtlahmakaskay, you sly mother of raccoons!
@ Bob:
She wants what she feels is best for her kits like any mom our deity
@ Switch Master:
I think It Should be the other way ’round.
So that’s the way divine matchmaking works. 😀
seeoahtlahmakaskay :ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN…tee hee 🙂
@ Iris:
Too late (for raccoons to be the first to reach the top of Everest without gear), humans have already done so. Also, well done Raccoon goddess! Considering how much more hands-on and helpful you are than that humourless mass murderer we humans have, can I join your group?
Live in Mojave desert next to the Siera Nevadas and even the smallest mountains near here can suprise you with their steepnes. Walker’s pass sheesh! 🙂
I knew she planned it.
Well, Gods and Goddesses are never wrong when it comes to premonitions.
So this is what Seeoahtlahmakaskay had in mind.

Seeothlamaskay is implied to have gotten her way, and her way, as she put it, was blatantly sexist.
You lose hard sir. I’m not even that big on “political correctness”… just tired of an age-old sexist cliche that is so overused that I can puke.
@ RWB:
But it is implied that they’re not going to just settle down and pop out some babies, but participate in their shared love of climbing together.
Is it not sexist to automatically assume that a female character that finds a male partner is by definition giving up her autonomy?
@ Greenwood Goat:
That is a horrible, horrible pun, and I applaud you.
@ SmartAlec105:
what….
@ PlutoniumBoss:
Thank you for being sensible about this sexist nonsense.
Later on youtube….
@ Fluffy:
Being a Colorado native, there are a fair amount of mountains to climb… including Pike’s Peak. Some of them are gradual, but some of them are legit for mountaineers. So they’re definitely NOT in Colorado.

That is all.
@ Blitzkrieg1701:
Then Woodock and Mrs. Lily come from behind her.
get the feeling this is what Seekay had in mind from the beginning, she just wanted Butterfly to think it is all her idea, and step forward on a more self reliant foot
@ Professor Q:
@ Trigger:
Sexist gonna sex
Now she can finally have that kinky climber sex video she always wanted.
@ PlutoniumBoss:
My point exactly. She does “pair off” with a male raccoon – and remember, these are _raccoons_ we’re talking about; they’re biologically wired to hunt and mate – but this is no stereotypical “babies ever after” ending. Like most men and women, they will probably balance career and family. It’s quite a good combination when it works out. =)
Well, a good relationship should be founded on a good friendship.
Always have more than one plan…
