cute, character development is good…but not so funny or brain teasing as usual
I also find it interesting that most raccoons will almost always wash their food before they eat it!
CampSoup: They’re actually softening it so it’s easier to eat. Doesn’t work for all their foods, but it’s sort of like an instinct after a while. Fun fact.
No, that’ not the reason in most cases. Have a look at the chapter about dousing in the Wikipedia article about raccoons written by me:
My personal experience after watching thousands of photos and videos of raccoons is, however, that there is a certain number of wild raccoons which douse their food, too. Some of them might do it to soften very dry and hard food like old bread.
I’ve been observing wild raccoons for the past few years and I’ve noticed quite a few that “douse” their food, but only when it’s already been in water (if I put some food out in a water dish, they’ll douse that, but they don’t often take things *to* the water to douse them) – I’ve also seen them make the same “dousing” motion they would be doing in the water on dry land as well, “cleaning” their food by rolling it around in their paws before they eat it. I’ve got quite a few shots of my raccoon observations on my YouTube page – 🙂
Very cool comic by the way! I stumbled onto this site a few weeks ago while looking at the raccoon article on Wikipedia – good stuff!
Hello taburineagle. I’ve watched many of your videos on YouTube. MoaMolly is also a regular reader of Sandra and Woo, by the way.
I call birth trauma metaphor.
Ah! Very cool! Yeah, I’ve been a fan of raccoons for at least the last 14 years, it’s just within the past few that I’ve been able to videotape them myself – I feel extraordinarily lucky to be able to watch them, they just fascinate me! I’m currently working on a retrospective piece that I’m releasing eventually that will cover the whole of last year’s raccoon tapings (at *least* 100 hours of video), but right now I’m just trying to find time to edit it… so it’ll be around… sometime soon – 🙂
MoaMolly’s vids are awesome too – they have very good studies on raccoon behavior, and I know they’ve contributed to the raccoon Wikipedia article as well. They’ve definitely inspired some of my raccoon projects!
These comments are very informative! Also, I am now subscribed to Zach’s YouTube page. Very good reference video for drawing animals.
I’m now thinking that if I have a raccoon character, his/her favorite food will be soup.
Raccoons definitely like “soup” – or eating things out of the water! I could see a comic strip about raccoons making soup out of interesting wild raccoon foods! I’m uploading a higher-resolution video of my raccoon family from last year as I speak here, plus I’m eventually going to upload a video of raccoons courting – that’s a first for me!
Pretty funny :P.
…Is Sandra with raccoon in that last strip. =D?
Wow! a girl walking along side a racoon which is walk in on two feet aswell… That’s something you don’t see quite everyday…
OH MY GAH SHES PREGANT WITH A RACCOON.
And thus we return to the status quo of funny/cute/awkward hijinks. That last strip had me worried.
Doesn’t that tickle
Woo licked a titty

Some animals. I mean, I don’t like rain either, but I just shake it out when I get inside.
