VALENTINE’S DAY TIME VOTING INCENTIVE!!!
Time to vote! Really!
VOTE FOR THE TRIUMPH OF ROMANCE!!!
As for this comic…
For those who want an explanation on how Phoebe can talk to the animals, I think it operates on the Disney princess principle: those who are truly good of heart and pure as gold can resonate with all of nature’s creatures. It’s just a universal law of fiction.
The raccoons look a little more like raccoons in this one compared to the last comic. They’re not right, but they’re less wrong. And that’s something.
Look like someone is in need for some tender love and care. Either that or therapy. I mean if Puck has a guy she can talk to and offer her free hot dogs, then so can Phoebe have a person who she can talk to as well , right ?
A person. Or animal.
Is there anything that’s kosher on Barton?
It’s generally the street to avoid.
so hellspawn have their own version of animal/allspeak? good to know….and totally makes sense. satan needs to tempt people across all language barriers after all 😉
…and i´m too scared to ask what her crow buddies are chattering about. blame a certain hitchock movie, but flocks of birds creep me out!
I think that Satan probably doesn’t have this ability, though. He doesn’t give me the vibe that he’d care enough to listen to the animals even if he could understand them.
Think about it: He may have the ability and just ignore it. He also have ability to listen to humans and does he use it? Hardly ever.
Also likely.
Yes, but can she speak Raccoon? I took six years of French classes and I can read it but I can’t speak it.
I think the raccoons can understand Galactic Basic. So we’re all good.
All this talking to animals reminds me of the ancient southern nursery rhyme, “Possum and Raccoon,” in which the raccoon begs the possum to throw him persimmons from a tree top. Fits here….
Phoebe on the patio,
Raccoons on the ground;
Raccoons to the Daphne:
“Throw them hotdogs down!”
I’ve got a friend that’s the “if not friend, why friend shaped?” kind of white woman. She would love Phoebe’s ability to talk to the raccoons. 🙂
I am not sure I know this type of woman.
You know, the one who goes “KITTY!” at the smelly, flea ridden, angry homeless cat who is hissing at you to get away. The kind with no self preservation instinct.
Oh, you’ve met my ex.
XD
The Subway on Main, eh? Thanks for the tip, raccoons!!
In Lexington, the dumpster near Ruby’s steakhouse very nearly requires reservations.
Eat Fresh, man. Eat Fresh.
Come to think of it…is this dumpster behind a subway station, or a Subway sandwich shop? Kinda think the raccoons would prefer the latter, but who knows?
There is no subway system in Hamilton, so we are definitely talking a Subway of the fast food variety.
IIRC, only Roger Moore (RIP) could “Talk to the Animals”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHK18m3Tk0c
A classic episode indeed.
Awww, they want to help her forage better. 🙂
Hey, when you have information of value, you share it with friends.
Just like my cats will sometimes try to show me the right way to hunt. They like me well enough but are not impressed.
The raccoons are all “When darkness falls. Leaving shadows in the night. Don’t be afraid. Wipe that fear from your eyes.” That’s very good of them, Phoebe really needs this.
She’s got some form of support. That’s … something?
Wonder why these ones aren’t living in the Evergreen Forest. I mean it’s quiet, peaceful, serene….well at least until Bert Raccoon wakes up. And life is simple there…except for Cyril Sneer.
Well, they are “creatures of the night”, so that might fit under certain purview. (A vampire might also be able to chat with them).
Happy SVD! (Kicking it old school.) 😉 How appropriate Phoebe appears! She’s a sweetheart. So much nicer than that mean old fairy! :))
Mean ole fairy – the anti-Valentine.
Phoebe shows that if you are a friend to animals, you will always have a friend.
Or perhaps she’s just the karmic balance to her daddy. The average of the two of them would be bland.
I like the karmic balance concept.
The what was going on before she was born?
Karmic imbalance? I dunno.
Well? At least they aren’t possums….
Oh, I’m sure they’ll show up soon enough.
Will there be pouch envy?
There always is.
The only creatures who know dumpsters than raccoons are rats, but they aren’t talking.
They know knowledge is power.
Let’s not involve the rats. Too terrifying.
