Wowza.

[–]d3l3t3 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of happy tree friends. This one was not as violent though.

[–]makennamay 0 points1 point ago

Is it bad that I read the last two lines of this comic in a big black man's voice?

[–]i_r_witty 0 points1 point ago

No, its not. I did the exact same thing.

[–]eighty_billion -2 points-1 points ago

Actually, I saw that coming right away. The hippo was obviously going to kill the raven. The comic was drawn in an what could be described as an innocent and childlike way, and around these parts (read: the internet) clearly there would be a "shocking" ending to the story.

I would use your subject line if the hippo and raven actually came to a reasonable consensus about their conflict, and maybe even started becoming friends over the matter/perhaps misunderstanding.

Tell me more.

[–]eighty_billion 0 points1 point ago

Like, alright.

So, the hippo climbs up to the top of the tree, and the Raven is like, "Woah. That's crazy. I didn't expect to see you here. I mean, I took this up here because I knew it was the one place that I, as a bird, could get to and that you, as a massively overweight mammal, could never access."

The hippo, exhausted by the horrible trial of climbing a tree is heaving and swallowing each breath of air like its his last. He manages a grimace. "You don't know, gasp what that train means to me."

The raven. "Well, it obviously means something. You're here."

The hippo starts to reply, only to be shushed by the bird.

"Shhh, take your time. I'm not going anywhere."

The hippo, gracious for the reprieve, is over the course of the next couple of minutes finally able to gather himself. "I am. And that is my train. My father built that train for me. He managed with no opposable thumbs to construct me this toy, this trinket. But to me, it wasn't a toy, wasn't a trinket. It wasn't either of those things. It was a symbol."

"A symbol of what?"

"They took my mom on one of these things, he said. They took her to a zoo. They took her and now she's gone. I don't know what a zoo is but I know how you get there is one of these. I want you, son, to always keep on eye out on anything that looks like this. And when you see it, you follow it to wherever it goes. You hear me? You follow it. I'll do the same, and eventually we will all be together again, you, me, and your mother. We'll be a family once more."

There is a pause in the air. The raven looks at the hippo, uncertain what to say. Luckily, the hippo breaks the silence.

"So you can see why I followed you up here, despite how difficult it was for me. Why my hippo paws are all black and blue from bruises and why I am red with scratches. All I ask is can I get that train back? So I can recognize it again when an actual train comes through these parts?"

The raven nods. "Yeah, of course. I just took it because it was shiny."

You've got too much time on your hands mate. Good story though.

[–]eighty_billion 1 point2 points ago

Hah, thanks! It's actually 2.13 in the morning here and I'm drunk, so it was a good diversion for me. Not exactly the most productive time of the day, haha. I heard of this new drug called "sleep" though; it's supposed to be pretty good.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

2:13 in the afternoon here and I'm conversing with a drunk. What has happened to my life.

[–]eighty_billion 0 points1 point ago

On the internet no less. This is the beginning of the downward spiral for you.

I almost feel it's my duty as the drunkard here to interfere with your work. Is there a special project that you are involved on that I can make nonsensical insults towards or use as an excuse to tell you a long-winded story that will make little sense and have nothing to do with anything that interests you?
