Sometimes I can wear children’s clothes, but often not, because I tend to be a bit curvier than the average child. Depending on the cut, I can sometimes make girls’ tops work, but children’s pants are usually right out.
We have a hard enough time trying to get a handle on reality without the Woke’s campaign to destroy Western Civilization by crippling what little capacity we have to deal with it.
I swear, if there is anything worse than a Commie it’s a nihilist at war with reality _because_ he realized he can’t create Heaven on Earth.
This is a very weird year. “Who could imagine, that they would freak out in Minnesota” and that Portland would burn for months for something *one* cop did, in a different state entirely? “Rants” when the world itself has gone mad, seem rational now.
I’ve been lost and objecting for awhile. But I could never see what an argument over police brutality had to do with making the Washington Redskins change their name.
I’m very “woke” and I promise I’m not destroying Western civilization. That’s not a thing.
However, I don’t appreciate being insulted on my own site, so anyone who has a rant about evil liberals, feminists, etc. is encouraged to post it elsewhere. There are plenty of places on the internet where I’m sure people will be fascinated, but this tiny webcomic isn’t one of them.
Re: Ms. Garrity: I’m moved to say…strip “Skin Horse” of the craziness and you’ve got a story about government workers and bureaucrats struggling to do some good in the world. Given that, some politics are bound to creep in here and there, in the commentary, at least.
And, having said that, I can also say that I have many strong positions about politics and culture—but I can exercise that elsewhere. I come here for entertainment. And I’ve given up on many things ’cause the political commentary got to be overbearing.
#12 is stuck in the middle layers of Maslow’s hierarchy. There’s nothing worse than achieving self-realization but being blocked from achieving self-actualization.
I can understand why a fox might have an issue wearing a shirt with a bunch of dogs on it, even if it weren’t embarrassing to him for other reasons.
That’s all well and good, but Renard is not a man. With the reality blindness, all people see is a fox anyway, so why bother with the clothes? Look at Sweetheart. How many times have we ever seen her wear anything resembling clothing?
Good point, but consider that Renard is used to wearing clothing. How easy would it be for the average human person who was used to wearing clothing to suddenly become a nudist?
Most people would not be very comfortable going nude in front of people they were not intimate with if they were not accustomed to doing so. (Especially in the U.S. In many European nations, of course, a lot of people tend to be less uptight about nudity.)
Wait, I know murder has always been part of H.T.’s plan, but I didn’t know the turtles were expected to personally participate in helping him do that. At least, not in any way beyond helping him seize power.
Also, it seems cruel to give a creature the urge to murder without at least making it an omnivore. I mean, if it’s going to murder, the murder ought to have a biologically adaptive purpose. Otherwise the energy spent doing it is a dead loss to the organism, and you have a maladaptation. That’s irresponsible, unethical genetic engineering, and H.T. ought to be ashamed of himself for it.
Most turtles and tortoises are omnivores. While they tend to eat leafy plants they will still eat insects, worms, fish, and will opportunistically eat carrion. Of course they are ambush predators so they would need to wait for their prey to come to them. adorable turtles tend to attract human attention so they can definitely satiate their bloodlust.
Renard, like most of us, doesn’t realize that becoming a successful capitalist is itself a virtuous act. Selling people things they want improves their lives (usually) and creates potential for yet more selling. True, the system isn’t perfect, but it is supremely adapted to imperfect people, unlike Communism, which can’t adapt worth squat because it requires people to be perfect.
We know next to nothing about Renard’s relationship with business. We know more about his relationship with HT. Renard has every reason to have regrets about how he handled that, even if neither of them could have foreseen the reality blindness epidemic.
Setting aside the arguments about capitalilsm and communism, Renard didn’t create the business, he stole it. Arguably from people who had wronged him, and arguably he deserved large monetary compensation for being forced to work as a mascot, but still. He can’t claim credit for creating all those jobs or providing those products when he hasn’t taken an active hand in either building or managing the business.
Hey, you must have had a birthday not too long ago. It seems like just a couple months since you remarked that you were 23. So happy belated (or early, as the case may be) birthday. My own daughter will be 24 in just a few weeks.
Okay… time flies pretty darn fast around here. I looked up your comment about being 23, and it was actually a whole year ago. Oh, well. Happy birthday anyway.
#12 goes for the ballot AND the bullet.
Modern politics in a turtle shell.
Politics in a half shell, Turtle power!
Man this IS a direct change of character, at first I thought I misjudged him when he said he wanted no part in the skeleton.
Paw Patrol? Everyone knows the cool kids are wearing Bluey t-shirts.
Welcome to my world, Renard. (I’m very petite. Finding clothes that fit and that I like can be a bitch.)
My sister says the best thing about being super petite is that children’s clothes generally cost a great deal less.
Sometimes I can wear children’s clothes, but often not, because I tend to be a bit curvier than the average child. Depending on the cut, I can sometimes make girls’ tops work, but children’s pants are usually right out.
Finding clothes is like Sweetheart?
Well-played! I doff my hat to you.
Ngl, the first time a three year old asked me if he could watch that show, I really struggled with hearing anything other than “Papa Troll”
Yeah, and they were down on them a few months ago ’cause one of ’em was a cop…
That was a hoax.
The difference between “hoax” and “real” is slipping, given what’s been banned, outlawed, thrown out, changed, modified, stopped, cancelled…
We have a hard enough time trying to get a handle on reality without the Woke’s campaign to destroy Western Civilization by crippling what little capacity we have to deal with it.
I swear, if there is anything worse than a Commie it’s a nihilist at war with reality _because_ he realized he can’t create Heaven on Earth.
Hear, hear!
Talk about losing grip on reality…
Wow, that rant came out of nowhere, huh?

Why does Renard choose to wear clothes at all? He’s got fur.
C’mon Renard! Free yourself from at least one of the expressions
of human oppression!

Didn’t Angela Merkel used to be member of the FKK?
Unproven.
…not a stitch of evidence.
At least he doesn’t have to explain why he’s wearing a silver jumpsuit anymore…

You say that as if you’re surprised by H.T. doing something irresponsible and unethical.

I’m still hoping to see “ten tiny turtles on the telephone, talking to their grocerymen!”
That last panel is a thing of perfection.
Very true!
Agreed!

Well said!
Best explanation I’ve seen since “CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.”
You always need something at the beginning to make more. Be it cash or cows.
Bottom-line capitalism is for the birds! (Except the birds won’t have it.)

They “wronged him” by… creating him? He owes his entire existence to them. And he thanks them by stealing their company.
Well they explicitly created him as a joke.
Not exactly a great reason to create life, or indicative of how seriously they took him.
I can’t wait to see if HT is hoist by his own petard.
He has now surrounded himself with murderous herbivores.
Sounds painful.
Nobody’s mentioned Stevie Hugeface and friend, chatting with a robot.
Is that Bruce, Human/Cyborg Relations?
Thought he worked for Helen and Dave.
Paw Patrol is better than Teen Titans go, and this is coming from a 24 year old. XD

My personal growth is knowing what Paw Patrol is 2 years later.
