    Yay, no paw patrol shirt?

      That would suggest that this is, indeed, a dream, as Renard suspects.

      Same logo as the badge Rudy’s wearing. Probably start-up marketing swag!

    Why are the bees still doing the “I’m coming for you” thing?

      Well, I’m not sure it ever became clear why they were doing it in the first place.

    This is me when I lucid dream
    Dream monsters: We’re coming to get yoooooouuuuuuu!!!!!
    Me: Is that an old Battlezone arcade game next to the blood-stained sacrificial altar?
    Dream monster: Well, yes, it is, but we’re going to devour your soul now and…
    Me: Anyone got a quarter?

      wait, you get battlezone arcade games in your dreams? All I get is clocks that don’t tell the time!

        I get clocks that work but elevators almost always fail to take me to the correct floor

          I don’t know about clocks or elevators, but brakes on the car I’m driving don’t work, especially when I’m reversing.

            I’m on a never ending rollercoaster riding around a large house.

            My lucid dreams are traversing cliff-side paths to classrooms where I’m not properly prepared to give the lesson. Or getting lost in a city in which I used to live and thus getting sacked for arriving late. Or giant bees. Waaaaaaaait a minute…

            Only had two lucid dreams that I can recall—both of them I banished whoever was around and found myself alone, knowing it was a lucid dream. Then I woke up before I could do anything more.

          I don’t recall ever seeing a clock or an elevator in my dreams. I have, however, fallen off of several cliffs. I’ve even died a couple times, and gone to my own funeral (dispelling the myth that if you die in your dreams, the shock will cause you to die in real life).

        I’m often bilocated in my dreams, serving as both participant (not always principal) and observer, as if watching a movie. I almost never have nightmares since I was a kid being chased by a big red cyclopean monster whose mouth occupied most of his chest. I’d just read “Dreams Are Sacred” by Peter Phillips and realized this was MY dream – so I turned into Prince Planet, flew back and walloped him! You never saw a one-eyed people eater look so shocked… 😉

      I’ve never really had lucid dreams: if I ever become aware I’m dreaming, it just leads to me waking up.

        Same here. The closest I ever get to lucid dreaming is the moment where I go, “Wait, this is really dumb!” Then I wake up.

      My lucid dreams usually leave on a small deserted island with only a large thatch hut on stilts. I’m always wearing white and sandals, and all the trees and bushes have fruits that taste like confectionery and other light sweet things. It’s always bright, even at night and the sky is like a kaleidoscope of clouds. I’ve dreamed of falling asleep there and making up there for days before actually waking up to reality. (Fingers crossed that’s my reality, and I’m dreaming of now.)

    Here it is, Renard’s “I’m coming for you!” nightmare.

      More like he’s coming for the cereal bar.

        I just hope Renard will ask questions like “Who are you?” and “Why are you doing this?” (Sweetheart started to but didn’t get answers…least not that we saw.)

    Renard, in true DGAF mode, manages to annoy a dream construct.

    Is this confirmation that the “I’m coming to get you” dreams are definitely intentional and not a byproduct of a separate scheme? Since Dream Rudy knows that’s what he’s there for?

      Maybe it has something to do with being a relative of the dog family. Dogs are just naturally annoying. Remember Sweetheart was pretty dismissive about the whole “I’m coming for you” aspect of her dream too.

      We don’t know anything about Tip’s dream, but I’ll bet he was annoying too. Because he’s part werewolf. And because he’s, well… because he’s Tip.

    I’m trying to figure out what the company’s logo is and whether it has anything to do with what the company does. It looks like crossed oars with dots on either side.

      I was guessing lacrosse sticks.

    If Skin Horse is still dependent on the vending machines, I can sympathize with his search for good cereal.

    Nice background on the first panel!

    I do believe that’s a Baron Mistycorn arcade game in the background in the second panel.

      I can confirm that you are correct. Nice detail.

    I like how Renard’s “creator”almost seems offended that he caught on so soon. It’s not like the NHLF aren’t intelligent and don’t communicate with each other, it would be inevitable that they compared notes at some point.
