- Woo: So Ruth’s staying?
- Lily: For the time being.
- Woo: I guess there’s a lesson to be learned here.
- Lily: Which is?
- Woo: Your girlfriend won’t leave you as long as you’re clingy enough!
- Lily: That’s a terrible lesson!
- Woo: Still better than “Good things come to those who wait.”

Awww, an unhappy ending. 🙁 Poor Ruth. Then again… It is good news for the natural order between prey and predator in other areas. Let’s just hope the local prey population doesn’t get too big by the shortage of big predators.
Welp, I guess she’ll have to live off of acorns for now, and maybe the occasional cow. BTW, if it were me, I’d totally leave my girlfriend for a good meal. Don’t quote me on that.
Oh man, I fucking lost it! I didn’t expect this lesson. I probably should have expected it.
… Wait, Ruth is who’s girlfriend now?
Poor Ruth maybe she will need to turn predictor nor to keep the normal prey animal populations in check if she’s eaten all the predators.

Sid
The dating scene must be fairly bleak for her too. I mean how many other squirrels run at the sight of her out of fear today is the day she is starved enough to decide to go cannibal.
You know Woo does have a point….
“If a woman wants to test their relationship, the man has to tolerate her insanity. If a man wants to test their relationship, he’s being a bad boyfriend.”
@ Raptorman76:
That’s for sure. “Good things come to those who wait.” is probably the worst advice on the planet.
Well the guys in the future noting that spot is empty of predators could not come to pass if she left.
@ Brett Bellmore:
As someone who has seen quite some “Cut ahead, you get there faster.” and “Don’t wait (or think), just go for it!” end up as one would imagine it to go…
Yeah, “Wait and see.” ain’t half bad. Also it makes a whole lot if difference in regards what you’re actually expecting to happen.
Alsoalso. Merely waiting doesn’t mean not doing anything. I’ll gladly wait a moment on a crossing, but I’m still going to go over it once the traffic eases a little.
Like here in Ruth’s case, I’d move a little further, but close enough to be called back if need be. Even Sid could move that much and still hang around the others. Moving ahead while still staying put. Win-win.
Well, Woo is not wrong with the lesson, that is the lesson learned from this event even though the lesson may not apply so well otherwise.
Ruth needs to give Sid an ultimatum. She should not tolerate this.
Woo’s lesson does not always work, frequently being overly clingy will drive away potential partners.
And even when it works it frequently only works in the short term. I know someone who has a prior boyfriend who she only ever refers to as “starfish”. I am not sure how long it took her to leave him, but she definitely did leave.
Lessons like that are what annoyed adults say to kids they want to shut up. But the sad truth is that adults are just what happens when you don’t dispose of your kids in time and they rarely reflect what they have been told as kids (and even if they do, they probably got used to those terrible lessons at some point). So you get adults who don’t know how to do shit because they were taught just to wait for good things when they were kids.
Thanks, mom and dad…
I don’t know… I deserve none of the good things in my life. Just lived and waited and they jumped in.
Some good old memories were earned. I worked to make happen some of my dreams. The start of my career was earned. I studied appropriately and looked hard for a job. But what my career is today just presented itself.
I never liked the idea of the murderous squirrel anyway; its funny for a gag or two but as a recurring gag it had its limit I suppose.
…well it just makes you think that she should have either gone insane (i think she is) or poisoned to death by now.
Ralph learned a different lesson.
At risk of sounding like a moron, why did the option of Sid going with her not be an option. It seemed like the simple solution.
@ NotSpecialDude:
There was some one else not wanting them to leave.
You should make a valentines arc
