Where did the sheep get that fabulous hat?

I don't know but she is workin' it

[Dangermoose]

And here I thought "unbidden mittens" was the correct thread title, or at least a New Wave band from Austin.

[Cap'n Squeakers]

Ha. This one brought the funny; I am glad the poorly-drawn sheep from the last strip made a return in the service of chuckles.  But it is still undetermined: is the poncho still magic now that is has lost its tag?  Wait for several days and maybe find out!!!

[wombat]

I had kind of forgotten that this messageboard is about a comic, but OK, this was worth waiting for.

[AugustWest]

...but do they call you Iorwerth the wall builder?

[littlefallsmets]

So... wait... I'm adrift here.

Is the suggestion that the dead Welch talking cat wants to fuck that sheep?

Is it... less beastiality for a talking cat to fuck a sheep or is sentience v. non-sentience the beastiality line?

I'm adrift on the issue.

My favorite line is Ray's "Well, we got a major benefit in that I don't give a damn about any of that."

Mine too.

I don't think sentience is the issue, I think the issue is that animals don't fuck*ng look like people. If you put Zooey Deschanel's brain in a sheep, I would not want to fuck that sheep. Because it would still look like a sheep. But we could be best friends and fight crime and have adventures. And Zooey would be all like, "I can no longer play ukelele with my new ungulated hooves! I am sad!" And I would be all like, "There, there. I will play the ukelele and you can sing along."

So then the trouble for Ray is that a sheep is not a cat?  But in this world, cats mix freely with alive stuffed bears and tigers and otters.  So your postulate ---{shut the hell up, DICK}---.  Oh yeah, sorry.

On another note, I was joking today to friends who like the Decemberists (I am tepid) that I'll only really be impressed if they made an album based on the current Achewood storyline.  I even mocked up a couplet based on the last frame to get the thesaurus-happy party started:

"How you have spurned my poncho charity / Dally with beasts and draw my asperity"

I'm aware that this is dangerously close to fanfic, so am putting down the tongs and backing away now.

[littlefallsmets]

So Zooey Deschanel's body with a sheep's brain is significantly less abhorrent?

Is a large anthropomorphized cat really all that different from a sheep that has itself been somewhat anthropomorphized by Mexican magic?

Is it the gulf between a half-peopled cat and a quarter-peopled sheep all that much more than the gulf between Captain Kirk and the four-armed three-tittied green-skinned lady with antennae who got it on every other week with very little word of the squickiness?

Just trying to sort out the actual parameters of what we're talking about here. Are the lines hazier when all concerned are imaginary things?

Would Zooey say you were a baaaaaaaad boy? A very very baaaaaad boy?

(Thank God for rogue message boards.)

So... wait... I'm adrift here.

Is the suggestion that the dead Welsh talking cat wants to fuck that sheep?

Is it... less beastiality for a talking cat to fuck a sheep or is sentience v. non-sentience the beastiality line?

I'm adrift on the issue.

I've indicated the part of this that is significant.

The Welsh predilection for sheep is one of those powerful comedy commonplaces that resists this kind of questioning. If you need a visual illustration, try writing "THE WELSH LOVE SHAGGING SHEEP" on a piece of paper with wax crayon and then washing over it with thin paint.

Also I corrected your spelling, just because I was emboldening it.

[littlefallsmets]

Hm.

The comedy stereotypes I'D heard of for sheep fuck*ng was... the Greeks and New Zealanders.

So, like, Balki Bartokamous, Pappa Papadopolis and Peter Jackson three-teaming a sheep would make perfect comic sense to me. But Welsh?

I dunno. Maybe it's just my particular cultural background but, if the Welsh were considered separate of general British stereotypes at all, they MIGHT be stereotyped as... thrifty and incomprehensible? Sort of a Scottish stereotype, mostly, but sort of hazier, sort of half in the shadows of a campfire?

I don't know what your problem is, that is a perfectly cromulant spelling.
