- Butterfly: Are you feeling better again?
- Woo: Marginally.
- Lily: Would you like some cherries? This tree has the best ones I’ve ever eaten!
- Butterfly: Oh, I’d love to eat a few!
- Butterfly: I’m supposed to climb up the tree?
- Lily: Uhm…… yes?
- Lily: Though I guess I could throw them down to you.
- Butterfly: No, don’t bother!
- Butterfly: This cannot possibly get any more embarrassing!

DON’T TEMPT FATE!!!
Does it means the great Butterfly can climb great rock cliffs but unable to climb a measly tree?
@ AckAckAck:
I have this feeling that she breaks down the tree by accident if she tries to climb a tree… Don’t mind me.
I’ll bet any money something even more embarrassing ends up happening.
@ AckAckAck:
I’d say she’s become afraid of climbing anything due to the eagle.
It might be that she’s too afraid to climb anything by now. Or that she just has been so absorbed by her life as a famous climber, solely concentrating on training and her next route while her manager and entourage look after such things as acquiring food and stuff, that she completely forgot how to get it herself.
Neither of which of course excuses the aforementioned tempting of fate. Or will leave it unpunished. 😉
Woo: Aha! I know what’s going on!
Butterfly: Eeep! Y-y-yes?
Woo: You’re saving your strength for the big climb! You go and have a nice relaxing swim or something, and we’ll gather you some cherries!
Butterfly: *phew* Yes, that’s it of course! And a swim would be just the thing! Thankyouuuu! *splosh* *sigh*
Now that’s odd. Good luck with the cliff.
Am I the only one who’s noticed a klettern in the tags?
@ Frank:
Klettern is rock climbing in German.
Butterfly: This cannot possibly get any more embarrassing!
Woo: Oh, so you aren’t really that fond of cherries then?
Butterfly: Um…that’s right. I guess you could say that I don’t exactly cherish them!
*Beat*
Butterfly: Oh god, that was the lamest pun ever…If you’ll exuse me for a minute- I have an appointment with an eagle.
Maybe she climbs big rocks so often that she forgot that you can climb simply a tree?
Butterfly’s problem suddenly got more complicated to understand! I wonder…
Has she gotten too used to being waited upon?
Or is there a deeper fear about climbing about to be exposed?
Surely Butterfly’s whole climbing fame is not a hoax!…?
I think she’s just nervous and not really wanting to remind herself of the situation right now. But maybe there’s something else, something about how she gets when she climbs? Maybe she turns into a climbing-obsessed monster and has to be clubbed over the head to be stopped? Just brainstorming… I guess we’ll see!
Ok… so she is either worried about her impending karma or she isn’t all who she is cracked up to be; maybe the climber isn’t really her, she’s just a figurehead?
> Character in a comic says the situation cannot get worse
> Situation must therefor get worse, as stated by comic universe rule #102
It’s a fact, of the true variety.
Well sucessfully climbing the tree and getting back down again Would make number 20 and that does not bode well at All for the previous oddity odds.
Ways it can get worse: audience behind tree, other raccoons as witness, anyone finding out she’s not in her tree getting ready, lake occupied by leeches, being seen being lifted into the tree.

What? Is the big famouse mounten climbing stare to good to climb a tree?
Maybe she overcomes her fear of climbing by rediscovering the joy of climbing in a cherry-tree XD
Just call G.W.
He’ll cut down the tree for you and tell everyone about it.
I guess Butterfly is REALLY nervous right now if that extends even to a tree.
What’s up with the last few strips? Anyone else feeling how wrong it seems?
@ AckAckAck:
Too mundane
@ AckAckAck:
It’s possible. It is. As a personal example, I used to go cross-country skiing in a somewhat hilly area. The trail took us to what we called The Devil’s Dip, basically the dip between two hills, go down one and up the other, hoping to get enough speed on the way down to not need to herringbone up on the other. Then came the Rip, speeding down a long slope, with packed, icy snow trying to get your skis to go in different directions. Neither one of those was really meant to be done with cross-country skis. Then came this little hummock to slide down, Less than five feet, with a gentle turn at the end. Something so picayune, so piddling it didn’t have a name. Guess where most people fell? Yep, no idea where, since that little hummock didn’t have a name! So yes, Butterfly could be so good at climbing the impossible that she doesn’t know where to start on something simple!
Oh man I [b]love[/b] this page.
It seems the climber has developed an acute fear of heights. But if the fans find out there won’t be a door able to hold them back. ;D
@ AckAckAck:
I don’t know if I’m doing the reply thing right, but I think that Butterfly has never felt the need to climb a tree before.
@ Greenwood Goat:
“Wait, how do I swim?
You’re going to have to explain that one, Butterfly.
Oh I see… Butterfly never actually ate that cathedral.
