The day raccoons learn to make fire will be the day mankind falls.
Was this moved actively away from april first to be not an aprils fool strip?
… dude don’t fuck the racoon
I’m not sure. I found Mysterion more convincing.
I dunno, I’ve already played this game and it doesn’t end well for us…

Clearly he hasn’t stumbled on this channel yet.
So which of the characters in Panel 3 is Powree?
Ah yeah, opposable thumbs. Truly the one thing stopping racoons and jheregs from world domination.
This is like being a Star Trek fan and then having Leonard Nimoy visit the restaurant where your friend works.
@ Shotwells:
Some timezones is already April fools.
May I introduce you to Snuffy?
Ah yes, raccoons in Germany, Görings biggest blunder. And as you can imagine, that’s against some very stiff competition.
@Novil
Rules of the Internet #32: Pics or it didn’t happen!
Uh, does he realize that a racoon’s first and last digit can each touch the “palm” of the paw? Isn’t that the functional equivalent of having an “opposable thumb”?
A funny story involving raccoons and high voltage engineering.

@ Shotwells:
And they will do that happily.
@ lilgeek:
All five of our digits can touch our palms. But only the thumb can touch each of the other digits. Basically, an opposable thumb allows for a “pincher grip”. I’m not familiar enough with racoon anatomy to know whether they can do that.

Maybe. But it wouldn’t be the day when raccoons win. They will lose.
You may not believe it when you look at average lazy couch potato, but humans are very vindictive, their aggressiveness goes up with desperation and they tend to see everything alien as enemy.
The moment raccoons turn from annoying but not really dangerous pests to actual threat, they will be eliminated even if we would need to use nuclear weapons for that. Or bacteriological. Raccoons wouldn’t be able to compete on that level if they just learned how to make fire.
It may turn into pyrrhic victory and ultimately cause fall of mankind. But we will never give up.
Raccoons don’t need fire or an opposable thumbs to cause humans to fail. Raccoons are smart, opportunistic, fearless, and strong. (This comes from personal experience.)

Humans are also smart, opportunistic, fearless and strong. It’s easier to parasite on someone than leading war against him. When you had your personal experience with raccoon, did you had an assault riffle with laser sight and promise of $100 for every dead raccoon you bring to town center? Now, how many humans do you think raccoons would need to kill before EVERY human will get assault riffle with laser sight and promise of $100 for every dead raccoon? Billion? Million? Thousand? … I would suspect about hundred.
Dinofelis, also known as saber–toothed cat (although not as known as Smilodon), was opportunistic, fearless, strong and optimized to hunt apes and early humans, capable of killing them with single bite around head. Maybe even smart, hard to say from fossil record. It went extinct. By humans, armed with rocks and sticks.

@ HKMaly:
No offense, but this comes off as bizarrely insecure. Yes people like to over romanticized what other species can do, but no one who is actually thinking rationally believes we could lose an all out Planet of the Apes style war against another species.

Insecure? I just said WHY we can’t lose an all out Planet of the Apes style war.
(Although … technically we can. Just not against anything from Earth. They would need to develop technology in safe distance from us.)
