I anticipate it will grow by 4 tags in the near future, once we learn their names. I wonder what the gender mix is. 2+2 would be too perfect. 4+0 would be too surprising. 1+3 maybe? But then which way?
Sandra: (thinks) Present Script? Linoscript? Palace Script? Old English? Linotype? Fraktur?? Oh, I can decide later. I don’t even know how many copies I need to print out. (types) NORTHIA *enter* Certificate of Birth *enter* Name of subject: *holds down full stop key* *enter* Species of subject: *holds down full stop key* *selects first two lines* *centre* *font size to 22pts* *font size to 28pts*……
Congrats to Woo and Lily on their latest additions to the family! I take it Sandra will get to visit later, And then there will be much squeeing over cute little baby raccoons!
So I looked at some facts on the internet. Apparently the kits will be deaf and blind for about 18-23 days, they will be weaned in 16 weeks, and they will be independent in the Fall unless the winter is going to be very cold in which case they will stay with Lily.
@ pretty flacko:
CAD had a strip where one of the couples had a miscarriage. A lot of people got upset, because it wasn’t the funny kind of thing they expected. It made them have the feels.
All bets are on! Will they be able to talk to humans like their father? Will Sandra babysit them? Will Lilly recognize the usefulness of having human friends to guard her kids?
If raccoons only live for three years, then… one of these kits may replace Woo someday.
…Yay, Whee, Whoop and Hoo?
Actually, Raccoons who live more in the Human world than the Wild tend to live closer to 20 years.
Woo is going to be around for quite a while yet.
With a little bit of Luck, so will his Family.
well, 3 sisters and a brother would be quite comical for us and pitiful for the brother. But 3 brothers for a sister would make that one VERY tough little girl.
I’d prefer the first and expect the second. Why? Because the single girl can cause LOTS of trouble for Woo.
YES FOUR TINY WOO AND LILY BABIES
JUST WAIT THEY’RE GOING TO RULE BOTH THE FOREST AND THE TOWN FOR THE GOOD OF ALL RACOONKIND

@ jeffepp:
That wasn’t why people still make jokes about it.
It was because it was handled in an absolutely laughably terrible manner. It fell flat on so many levels at once it’s still often listed as a perfect example of what not to do in webcomic writing. It was basically the drawn equivalent of a Tommy Wiseau film.
Great spoof. I’ve always hated Tim Buckley, especially since he wanted to use a personal tragedy to try to profit off of it. Kind of makes you wonder what type of person he is if he’s willing to exploit his family and friends like that for profit.
@ pretty flacko:
There’s a webcomic called Ctrl-Alt-Del. It’s basically a poor man’s Penny Arcade. Anyways, the main character, Ethan, is married, and was expecting a kid. However, one of the most infamous strips was when he rushed to the hospital, only to find his wife had a miscarriage. This references that strip until the last panel, which is considerably happier.
@ Segoat:
Actually, I think it was his way to work through a personal tragedy using his art. Was it poorly executed? That’s debatable, but most agree it was. Trying to say that it was him trying to make a profit is callous, at best. By that argument, O’Barr and countless others are soulless monsters that have done that. You do a disservice to many an author and artist that has used his and/or her medium to seek solace and work through their emotions, and, maybe, find some sympathy and healing words from their public.
Congratulations, Woo and Lily! Hope all four will survive and prosper – after all, this webcomic does not exclude reality.
Btw I do like this tag list
My heart MELTED.
I also like the fact that it’s a fun poke at CTRL+ALT+DEL, but with a much happier ending. Well done.
Take that, Tim Buckley! ^_^
Woo! 4 new characters! ^_^

HAH, a jab at ol’ B^Uckley
I wonder if they’ll be able to speak like Woo (when they learn, anyway).
Well, it was to be expected at some point, wasn’t it. 😉
Ohhh…having Milo and Otis flashbacks.
@ Xezlec:
1 boy, 3 girls. A son for Woo to teach all of his skills to, and a trio of daughters to drive him crazy.
Meanwhile…

I don’t get the ctrl+alt+del thing
Congrats to Woo and Lily on their latest additions to the family! I take it Sandra will get to visit later, And then there will be much squeeing over cute little baby raccoons!
Babies! I doubt Sandra will be able to visit them without Lily attacking, even after the events with that storm.

The four kits are named Control, Alternate, Delete and Enter?

This page was modeled on that one.
D’awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
ALL FOUR OF THEM ARE ADORABLE!!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Congratz Lily and Woo!!! and Sandra is an Aunt!
I didn’t see this coming XD
Oh my god. Dont know about you but im crying right now.
Woooooooo!!
Does this count as a shout out or a Take That?
Let me guess… they were conceived while Woo was on his “best behavior”?
Well, Woo’s a new father now.
If raccoons only live for three years, then… one of these kits may replace Woo someday.

All the Other Fem Raccoons are going to be very envious of Lily.
The Kits are only Hours old and she’s already got her “Hot, Sexy Raccoon” look back.

You managed to hide the Loss reference from me for about 5 seconds.
What a whirlwind of emotions.
Confusion, relief, anger.

Woo: Ahhhh! I forgot to bring Lily to the train!
Went to Lily…
Woo: Sandra, are the four kits free of charge?
Funny thing, this update came about five minutes after I caught up with the comic. After first learning about it two days ago.

Whoa!!
Looking forward to seeing many strips filled with exceptionally cute kits.
🙂
Damn it. God damn it. Unsubscribed, deleted, burned, memories wiped. What have you done. Damn it all. God damn it.
Wow. When I read it I felt something familiar about this. Then I read the tag and just realized, “Oh right. That infamous strip of Ctrl-Alt-Del.”

No, no, no! The correct reply to this strip is:
“Woo!”
I was just wondering about when this would happen for the last few days. And it definitely deserved the Hype Train.
WOO’S A DAD!?
