The current story arc started with this strip: A New Adventure.
- Eagle: You eating my eggs wasn’t part of the plan. Leave! And only come back when you’ve learned to abide by the rules!
- Woo: All right, all right. I’m going.
- Woo: But where to?

Most of the time I avoid swearing. I said that to give weight to my underlying reaction: WTF???
Huh, eagle, you can officially call yourself the first unnamed character and part of one of the funniest strips… in a really messed up sort of way.
I get the royalty joke, but last time I read of a character in this situation (a tortoise) it cheated in its own way: It bit the eagle while in flight and quite happily explained that if the eagle did anything the tortoise didn’t want to happen the eagle was going to suffer some rather embarrassing life-long injuries. (It worked, and said eagle decided tortoises are best left alone).

When you put it that way, it reminds me of the Disney’s The Lion King, of more specifically, criticism of it. Some people felt that the scene at the beginning of the movie of all the animals of the plain bowing before King Mufasa and his son smacked of fascism. They had a point; elephants are too big for lions to take down, except when very young, and they will fight them to protect their calves. Ditto for hippos. Cape buffaloes are on the menu, but only if they can cut one off from it’s herd and then gang up on it.
The comments here amused me… mostly because for once they weren’t all raining arbitrary praise down on whatever was served up. I guess the common plebs really do have some measure of standard, however low. For once I am not utterly ashamed of them.

That said I’ve neglected to comment on any of this particular story-arc so far because it has all been… contrary to my personal tastes. This particular strip just about pushes into so-bad-its-good territory. I can actually appreciate it ironically. =D
I’m really curious as to what was in the original version. Is there a way to see it?
I have really loved this comic and most of the time I think those complaining about certain plot twists are just being whiny, but this one just seems really weak to me. And I’ve loved almost everything else you’ve done.
…Yeah, the only conclusion one can really draw from this is that that eagle is completely insane.
Seems like people overthink this one. To me the Eagle sends Woo away because he’s a freak, it’s not natural to calmly eat your captor’s eggs. In fact, it might be the Eagle feels like Woo -is- a child and is morally against killing someone who is insane. Reminds me of Superhero things really, where they say things like “Death would be too good for him.”
Not only the Eagle acts appalled when someone acts unnatural, I remember an early comic where someone scares off a predator by doing unnatural things against it. In nature this would look like “Eagle captures Raccoon, Raccoon eats eggs, Eagle goes nuts and chases the raccoon away.” Bizarre, but not illogical.
@ Random:
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
I don’t know if anyone’s made this joke yet, but deus egg machina.
Eagle is being resonable while the commentors are not, you wont eat a hamburger if it is made from meat of a pig that killed your family member and ate it in front of you.
U havin a giggle there m8?
@ flamewolf393:
It was funny, though.
