Have you already read the news entry about the Sandra and Woo fanart contest 2012 (with prize money)?
- Sid: That’s the place where the wolf was shot by the…
- Sid: …
- Sid: … pine squirrel?!
- Ruth: Glad to see you show up. I just wanted to continue my journey.

@ ekimmak:
Eh, I think we can infer it:
Shadow begs Woo for food.
Woo being friendly with Shadow, having had lunch with him before in the woods, and having a human he can talk to, sorts him something out, even if it’s just pieces from the trash. Including some stuff Sid can eat.
Shadow brings it back to the den in the nick of time just as Echo is starting to nibble on Sid’s ear.
They share a nice little feast.
Foxes have a long anticipated snooze.
Sid sets off back into the forest, no longer on the edge of starvation himself…
I’m not bothered by the apparent skip, I’m just a bit puzzled by the last line of dialogue. I think it hasn’t survived the translation very well. I mean, both of her sentences make perfect sense in English and don’t have any grammatical errors, they just don’t seem to flow together. IE I don’t get the connection between the first thing she said and the second, or why she’d be saying that to someone basically as their initial introduction 🙂
(Maybe “journey” has additional connotations or metaphorical meanings in German?)
@ Caracalla55:
Of course, a .22 is vastly underpowered for hunting anything bigger than a rabit. Even with a perfect shot, the wolf would be alive for several minutes before it collapsed. By the time she caught up to it, there’d be scavengers on it already. By a couple months, even a wolf pup is too big for that bullet to be effective. The short barrel doesn’t do it any favours, and the recoil would toss her into the air anyway because she lacks the mass to stop it. (She weighs less than the gun, strength has *nothing* to do with it.)
Every time someone starts a pun-thread, Thor gets a hangover.
THINK OF THE HANGOVERS!

Very little recoil for a human maybe, but out of the league of a squirrel. For starters, that gun probably weighs more than she does. Imagine toting around and firing not a rifle, but a 35mm cannon.
That’s before we’ve fired it, of course. Assuming she weighs 500g (half of which is the gun), the felt recoil of a .22 mag would be about 30 times that of a .30-06, or 8 times that of a .50 BMG.
Even if it’s only a .22LR, that’s still going to hit her 16 times as hard as .30-06 recoil hits you, or 4 times a .50.
These numbers brought to you by my inability to let an interesting physics problem pass.
