[0368] Cunning Foxes
└ posted on Monday, 16 April 2012, by Novil
Have you already read the news entry about the Sandra and Woo fanart contest 2012 (with prize money)?
- Blade: Don’t think we’ll be around to save you the next time you risk your life!
- Pink: We’re not your babysitters, you know!
- Blade: You’ve got no idea what it means to live on the streets, have you?
- Pink: Busy roads, poisoned bait by disgruntled homeowners, stray fighting dogs, …
- Blade: Only the toughest survive. And of those who make it, half kick the bucket!
- Pink: … crates full of cheese analogue past its expiration date, free-roaming tea party activists.
- Shadow: Uhhhh, please excuse me. I think I just heard my mate calling me.
- Blade: Do you remember when we used to fight those who invaded our territory?
- Pink: We were so young and foolish.

Unexpected…
Because everyone gets fed by humans, except Shadow.
So foolish indeed.
rofl, saw that one coming, guess the saying ‘clever as a fox’ has some merit after all.
I knew it. Lousy bastard critters.
Atleast I now have a bit of an idea where that one fox got those pretty cool goggles from.
Such a nice old lady. And I’ve found Tea Party activists to be quite civil, mainly because I treat them with the respect I would want to be treated with. Then again, that goes for everyone. People like being treated like people.
And those crafty foxies as crafty. Survival not of the Fittest, but of the SMARTEST.
@ Sand Fox:
TRhough in the originilal saense of “surviving of the fittest” smartness is included since it is not about physical strength but about beeing able to survive as a species for a long time, me3aning having enough children, and since the smart ones will have better possibilities to mate (since they will survive easier andstuff liek that) in the long run they will prevail while the more stupid ones of their kind will dye out.
Ok but enough o genetics here
yeah saw that totally comming, poor shadow, so naiv and trsutfull ^^*** not knowing anything about the city… I hopw he still manages to find something though, also for sids sake ^^*
I’m finding it difficult to take your comment seriously, as you have misspelled almost every other word, don’t appear to know what punctuation is, and have used a 3 as a lowercase e.
@ rubicscube:
They’re easily pleased. A really cunning fox would be holding out for meat treats.
Harking back to last time, that old lady probably does have an atomiser in her possession, perhaps one like this one (link). It might not be a fox atomiser as such, but I expect that’s only because they haven’t asked to borrow it yet. >:=)>
Yes, there are lots of meanings for “atomiser”. See here.
@ Pyro:
And in this case we can also coin a new term “as gullible as a fox”
Saw that coming, though wasn’t expecting an old lady who knew they could talk.
good bye sid’s legs
Bah, that’s just like my grandmother. She’s taken to leaving any and all chicken leftovers out near her garden for the local foxes. A few times, I swear she’s actually cooked chicken specifically for the daft thing. She’s practically tamed it, next thing you know there’ll be British domestic foxes.
Yeah saw this coming in some form or another.
Sids chances are looking slimmer and slimmer…
she’d definitely give Sid a portion too, doubt she only has 2 apples at one time
Sid = noms?
@ illeatyourself:
I don’t think she “knows they can talk”, as it seems they’re talking to each other, and I’ve always imagined Woo was the only one who could talk to humans. Of course, this strip doesn’t use thought-bubbles (or anything else distinctive) to represent animals talking (as Garfield does), so it can be tricky to tell at times :p
Okay, gotta ask. This NEEDS to be adressed in like, a side strip where Sandra and Woo answer commenter’s questions. Namely, what the hell is up with the talking situation? This is just something that needs to be clairified. Do animals have a special animal language they all share? Or are they all just master liguists but can’t quite the the hang of the various human languages?
Also she’s a nice old lady.
it’s either survival of the fittest or survival of the wises
…
to the grammar nazis it doesn’t matter of the grammar but only the punchline is delivered -_-
@ The Aussie Bloke:
I knew it too.
Poor Shadow, he just …
*puts on sunglasses*
got out Foxed.
daawwww…poor shadow..
Well not quite pets, but pretty close, and they wouldn’t want to share.
At the risk of sounding like a meme generator…OF COURSE!!!

Should I read that as “wisest” or ” wiseass”? 🙂 🙂 🙂
Oh god. I saw one and now I can’t unsee them; the little X’s and O’s in panel 4…
Pink doesn’t open her eyes very often, does she? And, of course, Blade’s goggles are just awesome 😀
Sneaky little devils . . .
….Wow….cant say i saw that coming………
Wolf in Bears Clothing (its the last thing they’d suspect)
Those activist are the worst…
@ Sand Fox:
Yeah, the reference to them really didn’t add anything to the humor. To say more would drag politics into this, which is why it didn’t belong.
I support the Tea Party, and if I saw one of them varmints, I’d shoot ‘um…
… with my camera.
Foxes are pretty, and I see so few where I live :C
@ Petah-Petah:
Tai.
Or Takato.
Sid’s legs are gone. Probably, so are his arms, feet, hands. At least, the kits will have food…@ DancingMoon:
@ Iron Ed:
again it doesn’t matter of the grammar but the punchline delivered -_-
First thing I learned in the city: Don’t trust anyone!
@ Pyro:
1.Didn’t expect it like you did, I somehow expected the fox with goggles to be telling the truth.
2.You have my name, it may of been on accident but please don’t use it again, people could get confused, and I don’t want to have to put numbers after my name because people are mistaking me for other Pyro’s, o.k.?
I likes Blade’s goggles.
The art and writing in this strip is terrific, especially for a non-native english speaker.
Should’ve put occupy protestors.
Tea party is very civil and well behaved.
Anyways poor shadow gotta feel bad for him.
Its like the whole world hates him or something.
