Hedgehog and porcupine quills both shed/detach. And hedgehogs don't need to eat only bugs (at least the African pygmy ones don't). But it's Holbrook, expecting him to know that yes, deer can and do eat baby birds they find in nests, and hedgehogs can and do eat vegetables and fruit, is expecting a lot. No grapes though.

Hedgehogs and porcupines also don't look a drat thing like each other beyond "have quills", and those quills look very different. Porcupines are also much, much bigger.

Inasmuch as Lindesfarne is drawn looking like a real animal, it's a porcupine, which makes the 'twist' about her particularly dumb. She has porcupine quills! Her quills are frequently emphasized and the focus of jokes or plot points, and they sure aren't quills a hedgehog could grow. Has Holbrook ever seen a hedgehog? Edit: She has a porcupine tail too! Hedgehogs do not have long bundles of quills sticking out over their tails like that! They don't have long quills anywhere, but especially not the characteristic tail array. She is literally drawn as a porcupine. I should not care about this but... mycatscrimes fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Oct 16, 2023 |

So, due to a clerical error on my end, I regret to inform everyone I accidentally skipped over some strips of Bad Machinery. Since I've overtaken Gocomics right now, I'm just going to backfill those strips now. Previously on the 2023 Comic Stips 2023 thread... Yvonmukluk posted:Bad Machinery

Pretty sure the only hedgehog Holbrook's ever seen is Sonic.

Huxley posted:A+J Apparently the "Woo Grotto" was a feature of Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion, a secluded area of the swimming pool behind the waterfall. You know what, I'm officially adding that to the feature list for my own in-case-of-lottery-win dream house, right after the planetarium dome. Bizarro  The Family Circus  Slylock Fox  I call shenanigans. If that bigass statue is really solid gold, it would weigh at least a couple thousand pounds. Also I don't think there are any quadrotors approved for human flight, but I suppose Max and Slylock aren't human so objection withdrawn.

Though those weird fluted leg feet look terribly unstable under load. Maybe they bought a more modern dining table in the 30 years. E - are they casters? Did they have casters on their dining table? goatface fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Oct 16, 2023 |

Luann Gil Thorp  "Hey, remember that time you got teen pregnant and I convinced you not to get an abortion? Well, get a load of this karma!" Imgur doesn't want to upload Home Free today and I don't blame it, nor can I be bothered to try to force it. Rest assured, it's stupid. I'll post it tomorrow.

OK, how the gently caress is Hilburn pronouncing "layer" to have it even come close to fitting in place of "prayer"?

Haifisch posted:Layer and prayer sound the same (other than the initial consonants) in my accent. Well, how are you pronouncing them? I can't figure it out. To me they're "prɛː" and "leɪə". I assume it has to be "layer" that's different, because (aside from the repeated syllable in the song) Bon Jovi pronounces "prayer" basically the same way I do - ie. to rhyme with "there" and "swear".

Haifisch posted:The way I say layer rhymes with swear, yes. In the US we pronounce the r at the end of it(which seems to be the main difference from the UK/aus pronunciation as far as I can tell from 2 minutes of googling). Nah, if I put an R sound at the end of "layer" (and "swear" and "prayer") they still don't come close to rhyming. Different number of syllables, different vowel sounds.
