IT’S NOVEMBER! TIME FOR THE T-SHIRT!!!
Patrons suggested t-shirt designs. See the tee!
In other news…
First, this comic is brought to you again by the good people who support me on Patreon, with a special shout-out to The Lurker and Jeremy, who are both Mayor of Pucksburg for this month! Are you jealous? You should be! Maybe you’re generous enough to join them! CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
This one took a LONG time for me to make. Lots of lighting effects, lots of stuff happening, lots of characters in every panel. But the result is fun. We have someone being attacked for the first time since … gee, early 2022? Been a while.
Some might say that strip comics are not really suited to action. And they would be right. But you can’t be quixotic if you don’t tilt at windmills now and then.
Talk about being trained to attack dangerous people on sight.
Certain people.
Oh damn just noticed the Racoon munchin on some “nuts”.
That guy is going to the hospital for sure.
Crunchins and munchins.
Just think of where the rabies shot would be injected…
The belly. That’s where rabies shots are injected.
ye-ouch! he´s so going to be singing soprano from now on…..thats what you get working for people even more heart/soulless than the actual devil
“You woke up this morning
Got yourself a raccoon”
Okay, this isn’t as clever as I imagined
I liked it. 🙂
“Wow! You guys are really good at faking wounds! If I didn’t know better, I’d be worried! What, call you an ambulance? Okay, I’ll play along–You’re an ambulance!”
That could very well be the next comic.
Noone specified WHO trained them. My money’s on Liam Neeson.
They trained themselves. Raccoons are clever, terrifying creatures.
If humans ever go extinct, my money’s on the raccoons for the next tech civilization.
You’re not far off, I think. When things go bad, always bet on the scrappy generalists.
My bet’s on octopi, but raccoons are certainly an option.
The octopus in the sea, the raccoon on land. Two empires, one peace.
Raccoons with Seal training.
The most dangerous of all possible combinations.
Let’s not consider it further. The concept is too terrifying.
Emily in the comic and in the votey? Oh my, sticky fingers indeed.
Sometimes things just line up like that.
Mick Jagger would be proud.
It’s a gas gas gas.
there won’t be much gass for while if emily is wearing what i think shes using in the vote pic. };-) lol
She’s not wearing what you think she’s wearing.
my misteak, angle all wrong, just kill my commmet – wipe it off the internet.
Hey, no harm in speculating.
Affectionate little guys, those raccoons.
To the right people, yes.
It’s Ralph, Melissa, and Bert!
Deep dive Canadian ref.
Yowch. Sooner face a tiger, it’d be over faster…
Chances of someone facing a tiger by the end of this ordeal: high.
Whoa!!! Phoebe taught them to do that? Maybe there is some Satanic material in her genetic makeup.
Or is this instinct. Raccoons do have their aggressive side along with their immaculate intelligence.
I think this is the result of natural instinct. This is what happens when you ask raccoons to protect your friends. They’ll do so. with teeth and claws.
Nature over nurture. I get it.
Man, the animation industry missed out when you went into education. They wouldn’t have deserved you.
I’m taking it that Emily is suspecting that not all is as it was presented.
They didn’t miss out on much. I was middling at best in animation. But yeah, things are starting to look a little suspicious here.
I’m on to you! You are clearly setting up the next phase of the comic to be Daphne and Emily to be staring as roommates that get on like cats and dogs. Like goths and… non-goths. Like Bettys and Veronicas. Like Mary-Jane Watsons and Felicia Hardys.
And, I’m here for that.
I was not thinking of that at all. But it IS a good idea.
I thought Daphne trained the raccoons. Because Phoebe’s too nice. But I guess they don’t really need any training.I know they’re very intelligent.
They were (according to Phoebe) the ones who came up with a number of the attack plans. So yeah. They come pre-trained.
It’s not well known, but even Coyotes fear Raccoons.
Raccoons are not technically a pack animal, but they will join forces on occasion … as we see here.
And when they join forces, we should always be afraid.
“This is Hamilton, Ontario. Quiet, peaceful, serene. And then Daphne was born and her schemes.”
Sadly, Hamilton was never peaceful. Nor serene. Nor quiet.
EG, no, that must be unique!
EG, well, that’s life in the big city. I don’t think my city is different and it’s not one of the bigger ones.
But does YOUR city have homeless dudes who quietly sneak onto a city bus with passengers already on it, steal the bus, take the bus for a lengthy joyride, then quietly get arrested after the bus adventure?

But only a Canadian would bother to stop at all the proper stops and, apparently, do a rather good job all told.
True enough.
*So* many questions. Street Railway? Isn’t that a cool logo? How were Hamilton police so calm and collected? Hamilton has a mountain, or rather a “Mountain”?
O.K., not that many questions. Cool logo though. I don’t know how it survived the 60’s.
It is a cool logo. They no longer have street cars, sadly. The logo survived the 60s because nothing much ever changes in Hamilton. And ‘The Mountain’ is not an actual mountain. Rather, it’s an escarpment – the Niagara escarpment (the big cliff that the falls goes over). It runs hundreds of miles and runs RIGHT THROUGH Hamilton. Imagine a city of half a million people, then draw a line down the center, and heave one half of the city a few hundred feet up. It’s a big, sheer limestone cliff. So in Hamilton you can be ‘on the Mountain’ or downtown, which is literally down, as it’s a few hundred feet below.
It is a weird place.
That’s interesting about the escarpment. I’m surprised that they didn’t put the municipal boundary along the that line, but not that surprised. People are, after all, people.
I don’t care if they don’t have street cars anymore, that is a cool name as well as a cool logo.
I’m sure Puck et al. fit right in.
