- Shadow: REVENGE!
- Woo: Keep calm, Shadow. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
- Shadow: But… but!!
- Woo: Hmm, the photographer wrote in his blog that he has a date on Friday.
- Woo: I think I have an idea…
- Shadow: Does your plan involve pouring molten iron into all of his orifices?
- Woo: No.
- Shadow: Then it’s still incomplete.

Hah! I love how Sid is looking at at female squirrel on the computer.
Also, the facial expressions here are absolutely amazing. Especially last panel.
And thus, Sid started the first online dating service for squirrels. He is know sitting on a fortune estimated at around 3.4 billion nuts.
Holy heck, I wouldn’t wish a revenge plan made by natures two most crafty of creatures to happen on my worst enemy….
Something tells me this vengeance is going to involve some photography of its own.
Also, I think Shadow’s been watching too much Game of Thrones…
He just said, revenge is a dish best served cold.
Molten iron is the complete opposite, Shadow.
Molten iron?? That’s what I call exceeding ones evolutionary grasp. Start with agriculture, then proceed to working bronze, and then you can consider graduating to iron smelting and melting. You could also consider developing construction techniques along the way, which would present a means of solving the initial problem before it happens. Not to mention that molten iron is a bit difficult to transport any sort of distance – even Larisa would find it a non-trivial endeavour…
Larisa: *cough* thermite *cough*
…especially when you consider that you, like all foxes, possess a bladderful of liquid revenge, which you have on your person at all times.
Shadow: Yes… that would suffice. All foxes… …I’ll send out the invites.
>:=)>
I’m reminded of Genghis Khan, who executed a governor of the city of Utrar in the Khorezm empire by pouring molten gold down his throat and in his ears.
Shadow, listen to Woo.
He’s spent time around Larisa. (Who knows a thing or two about ‘cold revenge’…)
He pacified the person who bought the forest (with assistance).
His human is Sandra, shown to be no amateur at matters of revenge herself.
Trust us. You cannot have selected anyone better than Woo for planning revenge.
I hope his revenge isn’t too horrible, the guy didn’t actually mean shadow any harm at all. that said, I am sure if they stalk him, especially if they can get inside his house, they would get LOADS of pictures one would not want posted to the internet. (presumeably it will initially be pics of him picking his nose and such, maybe they’ll discover something wierd or abhorrent about him.)
Really? In my experience, revenge is best served with sulfuric acid. Well, to each their own. I’ll enjoy watching regardless.

Welcome to the modern world, my friend. Where everything and everywhere is worth a status update. And twitter makes sure that no private eye will ever have to leave his office again.
Now my vision of how this plan is supposed to go down is by copying the discriminating pictures bit by bit with the roles reversed.
I wouldn’t count on Sid being much of help at the moment though.
bitter shadow is bitter
understandably though, lmao
Two things.
1: They’re probably gonna take photographs of the photographer all the way through the date and plaster them all over the interwebs.
2: I am now wondering if a certain insurance related website, is actually a dating website for Meerkats.
I know what you wanna do Shadow. You wanna find the guy, rip his still beating heart right out of his chest, and hold it. So he can see how black it is before he dies.
Dat first panel tho
Shadow it’s my favourite character. Loving this arc 🙂

though according to my math if29 knuts to a sickle, and17 Sickles to a Galion, that would be about 117 million Sickles, and 6.8 million galions

Ooh, just imagining the soft flesh of the mango as you bite into it, then scrape at the peel and seed for prolonged periods of time, drawing out the flavor…

I wish I had some mangoes…
He almost had the quote. “Revenge is a dish best served cold… and screaming!”
“revenge is a dish best served cold”
“does your plan… involve molten iron…? ”
Even molten tungsten is cold compared to the corona of a star.

None of your arguments in your third paragraph seem to make any sense:
So what? Other people seem to be fine having nude pictures of themselves on the WWW, I’m certainly not. Why should his rage be nullified by this?
I’m not following 4chan or twitter and only few blogs. I’m still not okay with having nudies of me there.
This bugs me the most: I don’t know you, I don’t care for your opinion, how would that justify you taking and publishing nude pictures of me without my knowledge? (In my opinion it certainly doesn’t.)
“I think I have an idea… Sid, I need your leg.”
This came on my Facebook feed and it is too perfect for this storyline for me to not share it. Maybe if Shadow had been calmer about it like this guy, there would be no defecation pictures.

My god, he didn’t even take pictures of… Well you know the next base… So what would shadow consider doing if he’d done that!
@ Tsunami:
Yhea I hope you didn’t take my response as an insult because I was just a tad frighten by your comment. I feel sorry for whoever pisses you off. (Laughs nervously). But I feel sorry for those who stand in my way. They shall suffer an even dire fate. Muhahahahahaha.
Never mind the response part I thought I responded but I guess I never hit the submit button. Just know that comment scared me.
+1 for the reference! 🙂
And people, don’t share your personal plans on the interwebs. 😉
Sid! Are you cheating on that chipmunk?! She’ll shoot you with her gun!
Wow take the intensity down a notch.
@ Iris:
Um well Sids a squirrel, also that crazy chipmunk said she would only shoot old sick animals. Wow I didn’t know squirrels had dating sites.
@ Invisible Dancing Bottom:
But that doesn’t mean she can’t out of anger
Now I imagine that date will be visited by a big pack of wild animals, all staring at the two humans..
All..staring..
@ Switch Master:
Thanks, I try.
@ Invisible Dancing Bottom:
Heh, no need to be scared. I only attack if people threaten those closest to me. Doesn’t mean that you can’t be creative though.
@ Landbark:
1) Well, technically, humans are animals, but more impotantly: The paticular animals in this comic strip show personalities closer resembling those of humans than those we suspect of the non-human animals in our world. In fact so close, it seems fitting to me to apply the same reasoning I apply to human characters.
1b) You seemed to think so, too. Since reasoning with real-world-animal-logic all your arguments miss the point and you should’ve rather asked questions like these: “How does he even know what phototography is?”, “How does he know how to search the WWW?”, or “How does he talk to that raccoon?”
2) Why do you argue with the law? You didn’t before and neither did I. It has nothing to do with my arguments. (Most likely the law doesn’t protect his privacy, but Shadow isn’t raging because Steve broke some law; as far as we know he probably doesn’t care much for the human laws. Steves actions are enraging him directly and on their own.)
2b) Again, even if there were no law protecting my privacy, I’d still not like having nudies of me in the WWW. Actually it’s the other way round: Most humans (as well as the fictive non-humans with human personalities) don’t like having their privacy violated and thus they made such laws (democracy and all that stuff).
3) If Shadow hadn’t noticed Steve, he wouldn’t know. True, but: So what? Sentences like “You weren’t supposed to know what I was going to do to you.” are, in most cases, not much of an apology and even less of a justification. I can’t just slit peoples throats in their sleep, just because “they’ll never know. How could they care?”
NOOOOO SID! YOU MUST RESIST THE TEMPTATION! RUTH IS WAY MORE HAWTER AND BADASS THAN OTHER SQUIRRELS! SHE EATS WOLF MEAT FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!
@ Avid Mind:
Lynx to be exact. Well she used to.
I love the facial expressions in this comic. Just look at the faces, goddamn ._. Nice work, Powree. Gotta love S&W
About the “animals have no privacy laws” issue, this may have changed in Sonic’s world. Just an interesting thought…
Then again, Sonic’s “species” may be merely a loose model of what he was created after, and his true biological species may be some kind of alien species, like the Babylon Rogues’ backstory… thus causing laws within G.U.N.’s jurisdiction be adapted to treat their biological species like people, but again adapted so that the laws can adapt to their shorter lifespans.
Again, more speculation.
Landbark wrote:
Sonic’s world is filled with a variety of anthropomorphic life.
I am discussing the complexity of maintaining and initiating laws around the love lives of the citizens of that said world, as there are not only anthropomorphics around there. Humans are there too, and the fact that they are almost certain to have different life spans, and therefore different reproductive cycles.
Also there are definitely going to be furries, so…
I still feel the previous arc needed more of a resolution.
@Landbark Please clarify what constitutes deserving the rights of a human- the way you’ve worded it before (nature v. technology) sort-of excludes groups of actual human people, which is concerning and probably not what you intended at all. For example, some groups of the indigenous peoples of various continents continue living their lives just as their ancestors had hundreds of years ago- they have literally no technology and are a part of nature. The farthest most of those groups have gone as far as technology goes is that they plant seeds- an advance that isn’t entirely human since some animals do this anyway, making it… not an advance, really. Some of these groups don’t do anything resembling the sort of stuff most countries require (like, they don’t wear clothing, they don’t have electricity or modern medicine, many of them still use the language that their ancestors used- rather than the national language of the country they’re in-, etc.) The point being, they don’t deal with man-made stuff since they don’t make anything and instead rely on the earth. They are completely natural.
And, though this is somewhat off-topic, Shadow isn’t claiming to be a hero that is going to end the tyranny of picture-taking or anything. He likely doesn’t care at all whether other animals continue to get their pictures taken. He merely wants revenge against the sole individual that he thinks has done him wrong. As such, what he is planning to do is hardly deserving of applause- yet I hesitate to condemn him, for the reason that… well, revenge is inherent in all complex living things (or, well, probably not in plants. But then, there are plants that strangle other plants to death, so there are some interesting events down the plant path too.) Animals that have their cubs killed will destroy whatever killed them if its nearby- not because they believe it’ll help their dead cubs any, but rather because… well, revenge. It exists in some form in many animals, including humans (most humans only see it in other humans, because… well, that’s sort of the species they deal with most of the time.) Animal behaviorists have observed ‘revenge behavior’ in other species, though, so it isn’t a human concept but rather a…strange instinct (not sure if that’s the word to use, but whatever.) In short, Shadow isn’t trying to do anything noble, he is merely reacting to that primal need for vengeance.
Yeah, I think some of you are going a tad too deep into this. It’s a comic about a talking raccoon. I don’t think it’s going to accurately represent the things that an animals can or can’t do, feel or not feel. Just enjoy it for what it is.
