- Kit: Guh.
- Sandra: How did you manage to finally change Lily’s mind?
- Woo: You just have to know the right people.
- Caption: Earlier.
- Seeoahtlahmakaskay: All right, thirty years of torment in the ninth circle of hell for anybody harming your kits.
- Lily: Forty years!

What are Lily and the light-tailed pair doing in the first panel? I can’t make it out.
@ Xezlec:
They’re touching something she’s holding – beyond that, the low resolution makes it difficult to decipher.

Wow! Woo knows Seeoahtlahmakaskay’s phone number! Not bad going having a literal hotline to your deity! 🙂 Never mind having a hell modelled after that depicted in Dante’s Inferno (where the ninth circle is reserved for traitors – those who betray family or political entities [cities / countries etc.] are immersed in ice up to their necks, traitors to their guests lie supine in the ice, with only their faces exposed, while those who betray their lords and benefactors are completely encased in ice).
Hmmm. See, I’d be boned. I would have accidentally dropped one of them and be burnt for all eterninity…
On a side now, i have a feeling Sandra or Larisa is about to get it
So Seeoahtlahmakaskay has a phone?
Well played, Mr. Woo. Well played.
And my current guess would be 3 boys and 1 girl due to their respective mask colours. Could be wrong of course.
Let’s just hope Lily isn’t the type who very liberally interprets “harm.”

@ Trimutius:
She’s a goddess. She probably has the world’s best LTE coverage.
Nice to see that at least on of Woo’s kits will inherit his “abilities” (ability to talk to humans)
Hadn’t occurred to me that Seeoahtlahmakaskay had a phone number.
Then I remembered the Goddess Help Line.
I guess your call is routed to the correct extension depending on your species.
Of course, that number is “metadata”. So now the NSA can contact Seeoahtlahmakaskay too!
Woo, you’re going to have to be careful with your kits. You don’t want to burn into ashes in the 9th circle of Hell whatever that is.
Strictly speaking, only Woo could be sent to the Ninth Circle of Hell to be imprisoned in the ice of Lake Cocytus with the traitors, because hurting his own kits could be considered an act of betrayal. For anyone else, the correct place would be the outer ring of the Seventh Circle, where those who are violent against others are immersed in the Phlegethon, a river of boiling, burning blood…
Hermann Göring: I heard a rumour they’re going to be sending those who are violent against raccoons down here as well.
Heinrich Himmler: I approve. I like raccoons. I’m so glad we were able to introduce some to Germany. …Now I come to think of it, I wonder how they got on?
Hermann Göring: I imagine we could ask some of the later arrivals… By the way, have you found that you’re getting used this “being immersed in boiling blood and fire” business?
Heinrich Himmler: No. Not at all. It really, really hurts! AAAAAGGH!
Hermann Göring: Same here. NNNNGGGGH! Those raccoon-molesters had better watch out!

They pick up the game in the womb.
Smart 😀
Well, that solved the problem. ^_^
I like that Sandra is allowed to watch too, even if only from a distance. 🙂
Trimutius wrote:
Well, she apparently has a TV, so why shouldn’t she have a phone?
Strange that Sandra can watch. Seeoahtlahmakaskay has already stated that she can’t give Sandra a blessing without the human god’s permission and if a blessing required permission, then a punishment should even more so. But what do I know about gods? Or maybe Lily just doesn’t realize this.
And just when you thought it was predictable! It’s so nice to be wrong!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww *gasps for air* wwwwwwwww!
and I thought he was calling Butterfly. How wrong can you get?
LOL
Hehe who you gonna call?
They’re growing rather quick.
forty years seems fair, 10 years for each kit.
Oww… Why not one hundred years?
@ dyingdemon:
40 years, not an eternity.
@ BaufenBeast:
Well, 40 years is a lot for a species with a normal life-expectancy of 3 years in the wild.
@ mittfh:
@ Xezlec:
I’m pretty sure she’s holding a pinecone.
@ Xezlec:
I think she is teaching them to identify food.
So when’s Lily’s dad gonna show up?
@ mittfh:
im fairly sure that Dungeons and Dragons, which predates Dante’s inferno, has nine layers of hell, how can you be so sure this is a reference to specifically Dante’s inferno? Seeing as the whole traitor thing doesn’t seem to count due to the punishment applying to “anyone” as opposed to just woo.
Raccoon Dial A Prayer.
Who Knew?
Ha. I’d wish for a phone number to the gods, too.
Now let’s sit here and be jealous of the racoon that manages to have a phone number of a deity.
@ vlad:
Considering that Dantes inferno is from the 14th century I would say that dungeons and dragons most certainly does not come even remotely close to predating it. D&D likely got its 9 circles of hell from Inferno really.
Glad to know somebody else has read the Divine Comedy.
Nice he can see his kids but now long did he wait? Last time we saw them they were a lot smaller!
@ All-purpose Guru:
I think Lily can talk to humans, she just chooses not to.
@ vlad:
Well, seeing as Dante’s Divine Comedy was completed in 1320, and D&D came out in 1974, as well as the fact that many depictions of Hell are based off of that which appeared in Inferno, particularly the circles model, I would say it probably was intended as an Inferno reference
@ Larqua:
I was not aware Dante’s inferno was anything other than a video game… now i feel ashamed.
@ vlad:
Seeing as this is the internet, you have probably looked this up already but in case you haven’t. *Teacher Mode Activated*
Dante, a poet in the late middle ages, penned a story called the Divine Comedy. (at that time a “comedy” was simply something with a happy ending) For those looking to read it today I should point out that it is written in Italian in the form of a poem. (I recommend the Dorothy Sayers tranlation) The Comedy is in three parts: Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Heaven) The story is of a man named Dante (yes, the author named the protagonist after himself) being given a tour of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven in that order.
So what happens if the kits get in a fight? …Actually, isn’t that kit booping the wrong button?
She is giving her children kisses with her paw.
@ vlad:
Dante’s “Inferno” is the first book of the “Divine Comedy” series (#2 is “Purgatorio” and #3 is “Paradisio”). All were written during the Renaissance . D&D was created in the 1970’s, when I was a kid. D&D borrowed from a lot of litrerature and mythology (the original “Deities & Demigods” even had the Cthulhu mythos in it, until they were threatened with a lawsuit from H.P. Lovecraft’s estate; Gary Gygax had to change “Ents” to “treants” in the “Monster Manual” for the same reason – complaints from Tolkien’s heirs).
So disappointing. I know it’s a comedy comic and all . . . but I was hoping this would be resolved with Lily trusting Woo not to hurt THEIR children rather than needing some deal of damnation to blackmail her mate with. In the human world, I would have immediately accused this behavior of being misandrist.
Their babies are so adorable! <3
@ vlad:
but… but… it was in the marketing, and the review’s, and the things! D:
