Rule Number One

So there's definitely going to be a Moosebody AI right

I will always remember one part of CHP motorcycle school. If you see a small animal or object in the road, it can be dangerous to avoid it, prepare to surmount the obstacle. If you encounter a larger animal such as a deer or moose avoid it. Hitting it is like crashing into a semi. So TLDR avoid moose, tar snakes and wet leaves.

I love Veronica's Emmett Crinkle Smile

They're not wrong.

Yeah, Barry

A Møøse once bit my sister...

Lyrics to a nsfw song re: moose. Nothing helps an earworm quite like sharing it. :-) https://stursula.lochac.sca.org/songs/the-moose-song/

I wish this webcomic hadn't been completed at great expense and at the last minute, but what are ya gonna do??

The word you're looking for, Sam, is "Step-brother".

just a heads up, the "why" speech bubble is coming from Veronica on the main site

I now wish that the comic text below was the topic text here!

@ Ethan No realli! She was Karving her initials øn the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law -an Oslodentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...

Is Veronica in the background shipping Sam and Emmett? Sam's emphasis on "girlfriend" (and her eyes) seem a bit of a tell.

That's pretty good advice. Annoyed Megafauna are bad for your health - as in, the 'turn you into strawberry jam' kind of bad.

Honestly I would probably start with that advice too, having lived in moose country myself before.

I feel like the speech bubble in panel two for "Why?" looks like it's coming from Veronica rather than Emmett

Nice Holy Grail reference Also fun fact about Moose is they are the last surviving megafauna in North America.

what eats moose orcas eat moose.

First of all, there’s an awful lot of Monty Python fans here, and I think I have found my people. Second, moose are huge abominations of nature, foul tempered - especially in the fall, and a lot larger than you think, even if you have seen them in real life, their hugeness still impresses you. Bison are like that too. Bigger than you think they ought to be.

Prediction: the “La lee loo!” fairy has a Canadian cousin who shows up in random comics galavanting around town with a moose wearing hockey skates.

As seen on Patreon: one speech bubble tail points to an unexpected character, and seven people independently pipe up to point it out.

It turns out that Cubetown's head of particle physics is a moose. It wandered in through an open door one day, and it was unanimously decided that giving it tenure was safer than trying to chase it out.

I think the "Why?" speech bubble is misaligned.

Vy nöt try a lövly höliday in Sveden dis yaär?

well now there NEEDS to be an AI researcher whose body is moose-shaped

As an Alaskan, I have a dozen moose stories. They are scary creatures

What about Mayor Cookiemoose. He is nice. And tasty. Well, regular moose can also be tasty, if cooked properly. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3874

I want to meet Professor Bullwinkle.

I understood that reference.

Wait wait. Does this mean... Mrs. Maplehooves is actually DOCTOR Maplehooves?

I hope there is a Llama joke coming up next...

…moosticles…

That better not be a Chekov's gun, Jeph.

the majestic møøse

No realli!

Emmet really shrinks into themselves when talking to a strange human. Jeph, that's remarkably well done.

That "Why?" speech bubble isn't pointed where I think you wanted it pointed, methinks.

Speaking as a Canadian, I'd be more concerned about the gooses. Moose'll leave you alone for the most part. A goose'll be on ya faster than two greased Newfies going after the last Tim Bit.

No, really, my sister bitten by a moose once...

Moose rule where they wander.

Are Elk related to Moose? I had a couple of encounters with elk that frightened me to no end.

I've been chased by a moose while riding my bicycle, and came nose-to-nose with one once when getting off a bus. I decided I could get off at the next stop.

I will say, the fact that moose swim so much that a regular predator for the moose is the orca whale is a fact that lives absolutely rent-free in my head forever

The only cure for moose bites is to kill the moose that bit you before you turn

This is QC. There are moose who do particle physics. Maybe not at Cube Town, but they do exist. (My money’s on them working out of McMurdo Station…)

And if you encounter a moose when swimming, do NOT get between the moose and the orca hunting it.

Moose are bad news in general. Just ask Boris or Natasha...

A Møøse once bit my sister... No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...

I'd watch out for the Canada geese. At least the moose don't gang up on you.

As a Swede: don't go near moose. They are huge and will mess you up.

Is that "Why?" speech balloon in panel 2 supposed to be pointing in Sam and Veronica's direction? It feels like it only makes sense for Emmett to have said that then.

Aren't there elementary particles known as moosons?

In my 40 years of particle and nuclear physics I met very, very few researchers who were moose. Certainly fewer than 600.

I love this comic. I think the speech bubble in the 2nd panel might be pointing at the wrong actor.

Tomorrow: Claire gets accosted by a French Canadian border patrol agent claiming her dad smelled like elderberries.

Why is Veronica asking "Why?" in panel 2? Seems like that ought to be Emmett.

2nd panel, the middle speech bubble looks like it is pointed to the wrong character (Veronica, but should be Emmet?). Also, my sister was once bitten by a møøse.

come for the adorable dorks, stay for the Monty Python references ... seriously though, keep clear of the mooses

Møøse bites are what you get when you gø øn høliday in Sweden

I watched a video of a mom having her kid do a "moose check" before leaving the house and getting in the car for school

The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink

I did not know moose bit; I only know about the “Moose Test” used to gauge car safety. That is scary enough.

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked

Never mind physics, Martin! They can swim! They attacked whales! And WON!

I'm calling it: The Director is an AI moose.

Heroic restraint and composure there from Veronica

the "Why?" in panel 2 appears to be coming from Veronica even though it looks like Emmet should be saying it

Martin better watch out, moose can swim.

Time for sacking

Solid advice Emmet!

My sister was bit by a moose once...

I punched a bull once.
