Commentary

I could take MASSIVE OFFENSE to people doubting my extensive goose-knowledge, but I will instead celebrate that I got to make what I think is a good comic with only one drawing of Tedd, AND the idea for the NEXT comic. HUZZAH!

And seriously, thank you. This gave me an opportunity to work ahead on so many other things.

But yeah, geese are not to be messed with. I just thought a honking outfit with such weird effects would be funny, and wasn't considering what actual geese would be like beyond the sound, the fear effect (acknowledgement of their danger!), and how some people seem to really, really not like geese (the aggression).

I assume that aggression is mostly from gaggles of geese on the road. Speaking of which, "gaggle" supposedly only applies to geese on the ground, and was not something I knew before checking.

I wanted to know if "flock" was actually correct, and I guess it's not (a skein, a team, or a wedge if flying, and... a PLUMP if close together?! Wikipedia, are you messing with me?!), but I'm going to say "flock" anyway if I see a bunch of geese flying around.

The goose tongue thing is something I tend to forget about until reminded, and then I count the days until I forget again. Unfortunately, this comic is going to make forgetting about that again take much, much longer, and I'll randomly be reminded of it again whenever I see it.

And finally, my knowledge of rabbits apparently needs to be brushed up on, because I drew pads on the rabbit shoes, and rabbits apparently don't have those? Or if they do, they're covered in fur anyway, at which point I'm not sure they count.

The goose-costume thing is freaking adorable, and I hope we eventually get to see someone wearing it in color. Not least because I'm curious what's going on colorwise - is the dress white, and the shirt also white?

Having been one of the people commenting on the previous comic, I find this one _utterly hilarious_. And, indeed, Tedd absolutely has a point.

FWIW, I think "flock" is also entirely correct, upper-crust Victorian wordmongers coming up with humorous names for groups of animals notwithstanding. They may have made more words correct, I'll grant that, but any claims they have of making existing words and usage incorrect is [...at this point the author is forcibly dragged away from his keyboard by people in geese costumes before he gets worked up into a rant about splitting prepositions....]

Personally I wondered if it was a One Piece reference for a second. Oh Come My Way Karate.

...gonna need to see more of Angel Tedd. That's a cute outfit!

My vague recollection from when we tried to nurse a rabbit our dogs had caught in our fenced in yard back to health, rabbits do have pads, but their feet are furry enough it's hard to notice them. That said, you drew rabbit shoes, and hair on shoes doesn't re-grow, so over time it'll wear off and expose the pads. That could be less of a factor in video games. I think Bugs has pads on his feet, or at least did at one point in time. Admittedly, Bugs isn't that hairy.

I do like how much Tedd has matured, the last time she talked about video games she said where is the "OMG I have breasts" emote

Some Ed

There are still times I wonder where that emote is. I'm 49.
