- Sirius: Daddy, help!
- Woo: No chance. The trunk’s way too thin for an adult raccoon.
- Lily: What shall we do now?!
- Woo: We could ask Seeoahtlahmakaskay for help!
- Lily: Good idea! In such a dire situation, she’ll certainly answer our prayers.
- Woo: Help’s probably already on its way!

Plan B, call Sid.
Man, AT&T’s prayer reception is just the worst.
Wow. This could be kinda dark if you think about it.
Man, deities NEVER get any time off!
There’s never a higher power around when you need one…
I guess careful coaching it is, instead.
Why not tell him to just jump. Given how small raccoon pups are, there’s a chance that even a terminal velocity fall won’t kill him. (did you know you could throw a mouse down a mine-shaft and it won’t die from the fall (the volume area to mass ratio is too high, ergo the terminal velocity isn’t high enough to cause fatal damage)?). Even cats can survive drops from up to five stories.
Sloan Great Wall resort?
I can’t even calculate how many frequent flyer miles Seeoahtlahmakaskay has racked up!
(even assuming she only takes a vacation once every billion years)
Just like other Gods, Seeoahtlahmakaskay helps those that help themselves Woo….
Well they could always ask Sandra to cut the tree down and catch the pup, I am CERTAIN she knows someone who would only be too happy to steal a fire axe.
@ Ray:
Humans can survive falls from 5th story too – the question is only: How many %? The same goes for cats. While cats can survive high fails, the absolute high may be only high for THEM (a 2m drop is easy for you, but for a cat it is 5 times their height).
Nature also gave cats special abilities for falling – I doubt that racoons have them.
Now what?
Step 1: amass large quantity of snack voles.
Step 2: attract attention of eagle.
Step 3: give eagle portion of snack voles with promise of rest on safe return of kit.
Alternatively, call Sid in.
Woo: And remember, if you eat him, or even nibble him, you will have to stay up there!
Sirius: ……Can I lick him?
>:=)>
heheheh, reminds a movie “God is Brazilian” in with the Human God decides to take a vacation, but first, tries and put someone on his place… Seeoahtlahmakaskay should have this back up. Funny strip.
I bet Cloud or maybe Sandra could climb that. They don’t use the trunk to climb- just the branches, and there seem to be plenty of those.
@ Pony-kour:
Woo’s point is that the trunk is too thin to bear his weight, not that it’s too thin to grasp.
Is SHE saying that, or the iPhone? Because the word balloon is coming from HER, but she doesn’t so surprised with the period instead of an exclamation point.
Still, at least she hasn’t been beaten into a coma by three undead teenagers with hockey sticks. That would be really bad.
I get that in this universe it works, but to those who don’t know, let me make this clear: In the real world, prayer doesn’t solve your problems.
Just get Larisa – she’ll bring down the pup in her very own, special way… =P
…can please somebody tell me how to pronounce Seeoahtlahmakaskay? X_X
right in the religion

@ Trey Marlette:
Who would do such a thing? I don’t think she’s got any angels or muses to throw out of racoon heaven, nor have I seen walking piles of feces, I don’t think she’s even had any children of her own.
religion is never the answer…. unless the question was “how do we best start a ridiculously brutal and horrific holy war?”
Or “How do we motivate burning the elderly alive if we find them creepy”
Or “how do I scam a lot of people out of a even greater amount of money”
etc….

and you felt the need to say that here…why exactly?
I wonder why Woo and Lily felt so confident Seeoahtlahmakaskay would help. Compare the average life expectancy of a racoon in freedom vs a racoon in captivity and it should be clear that Seeoahtlahmakaskay in fact does allow a racoon in peril to die. Do they think their children are an exception due to having meet the goddess in person or was it just the wishful thinking of parents?
Someone has watched Bruce Almighty…
I’m hoping butterfly is close by practicing
Can’t climb close enough to grab him, true. But Woo can put on a harness and grab a hank of rope, and get plenty close enough to safety off and toss Sirius up one end of a rope. Once the kid gets back to the trunk, he’ll be fine.
Should I be laughing at this? Because it’s actually really sad.
That reminded me of Bruce Almighty
@ PopeLucifer:
Yes! Somebody got the joke!
“Lily: What shall we do now?!”
Shall.
Very classy.
Ok, I’ll stop and panic for Sirius now, sorry.
Your sure butterfly can’t help ? I know he said no adult raccoon but maybe she can do something?

Because she’s already promised to curse anyone who does the pups harm?
This reminds me of Mr. Deity and the Messages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaZDcS-rMf4
If it’s been two weeks, I really hope they found some other way to get him down. Otherwise there may not be a Sirius in future panels.
@ TehTimmah:
Because faith healing.

Ruth seems like a better choice. She’s strong enough to carry around a gun as big as her and she’s fearless.
@ coyoteBR:
The same plot was in Bruce Almighty.
@ Pony-kour:
OK, now think about that. If the trunk is too small for a mature raccoon, what chance would a teenage Human have?
@ GuyveroZ:
The key word there is “anyone”, not “anything”.
@ Nick/Tyrong:
If you look at the script under the comic (right under, incidentally), you’ll see you were correct. And since she is a God, no doubt she’s used to large number of prayers coming her way.
Keep calm and be a raccoon.
