Fluffy raptors! I love the fluffy raptors so much.
what cracks me up beyond theire cute looks is the little added “wok wok” xD
They are the best. Just, so cute.
Yeah, pretty much what I came here to say.
FLUFFY RAPTORS.
Is he naked?
He’s got a tank top and shorts.
Was just coming in to ask that he is hopefully at least wearing shorts (and not boxers, that is just as creepy)
Not creepy at all. He’d probably be quite hot in them…
Was meaning with him covered in the fluffy raptors, not modelling
Thinking about popcorn, it occurs to me that “Redenbacher” would bake a pretty good name for a villain.
Good good, what is next? Drawing a comic upside-down and uploading with dial-up?
don’t forget she’s already doing this crippled
I think her good hand was heavily bruised by a crappy driver, I don’t think she was permanently crippled.
Dislocated shoulder and some torn ligaments, I believe.
So temporarily crippled, lol.
God knows just working with a damn shoulder inflammation is hell, I cannot even imagine what torn ligaments will do.
Torn shoulder ligaments pretty much mean you can’t move your arm at the shoulder, it’s stuck down near your side, though maybe you can lift it a tiny bit.
At least that’s the case if it’s the rotator cuff ligament anyway. It is surgically correctable, arthroscopically even, so minimal recovery time outside of loads of PT. Happened to my mom.
I’m looking at 6 weeks for the bones and nerves to mend and three months to get back to full strength/mobility.
Oh, hey, and your art is _still_ better than the internet deserves.
Given what the Internet deserves, that’s hardly high praise.
I hope it works out well for you! When I fucked up my arm, it healed properly, but for some reason it never stopped hurting. Like, to this day, I have to be careful and pace myself, and be able to stop what I’m doing, because the pain flares up too bad where the damage was.
I really hope your outcome is better than mine.
Welcome to old age. My back is healed from an injury but it never feels 100 percent. I was mad and practically lifted a piano because that was what I was mad at. Moved a piano by myself no wheels. After it was moved I realized I made a horrible mistake. Next day, out of commission. After physical therapy and my back healed it still felt tweaked. And lately it feels like someone punched me in the spine with a D&D Maul of stupid injuries plus five. This was five years ago.
Let’s be honest: popcorn is peoplefiyed bird food.
Let’s be honest, peoplefied just translates to fried, most of the time, and it all goes downhill from there with the beer battering then deep frying. It’s how people know that any seed can be “popcorned,” “chipped,” or baked into flakes for easy snacking.
Another method is to add bacon to it. Especially salad.
Mmmmmmm. Bacon.
…I have difficulty accepting that beer battering/deep frying pretty much anything could fairly be said as going ‘downhill.’
To be fair, CountryMage is probably speaking in terms of overall health.
But I definitely agree with you; as a
fatass“stout” American, I will suplex anyone who tries to tell me that deep-fried food is inferior to any other kind of nourishment.Even if said person were Brock Leonard?
Lesnar not Leonard! Damn but I wish there was an edit button to fix goddamn auto-correct!
Maybe thats Lesnars less intimidating cousin?
THANK YOU!
Bacon :)
I will never get tired of seeing these raptors.
Aww, Jet, you had to bribe the budgie raptors with popcorn so they’d obey you over that turkey? SHAMEFUL.
The day I get tired of these raptors is the day I die
You’ve made me warm up to these fluffy raptors.
I hope we see them on a regular basis.
Maybe add them to the store? And first get a store?
Personally I want to see more Fattest Pigeon.
Same here. Pigeon makes for good eating.
From New York, right? Juicy.
Love these little fatbird raptors!
Wok Wok Woook
She’s going for that popcorn the second you put it in your mouth. I have a cat that does that. Eating crackers is hell.
No, she’s already spotted something pink and wriggly stuck in the back of his throat, she is going to attempt to save his life by lunging in and grabbing it :D
Feeding pets people-food is the worst idea. I gave my dog a bit of cheese once. Now I can’t crack open a slice for a sandwich without her dashing into the room and staring at me until I relent and give her a bit of that delicious processed dairy.
I’m the master of the house in everything else, but that’s one area where I can’t win.
You just can’t resist pets’ pleading eyes and hopeful faces! And I’m sure the raptors have a specific chirp when they beg for food, they probably can even wag their tails.
Raptors actually had completely stiff tails, so wagging would be out of the question.
Its our own fault for making our own food so delicious, while pet food is either dried into oblivion or just miscellaneous slop. I mean, I dont know if animals LIKE the taste or if they just enjoy food they dont have to chase first.
My dad had two dogs that were like that regarding mango. Then again this was only at “bed time” any other time and the dogs wouldn’t touch them, but at bed time, they each got a piece of mango before lights out.
At this point, I’m expecting a post saying how you’re paralyzed in all four limbs and have gone temporarily blind, yet you’re still breaking these comics out by making them appear through the force of your will alone.
My kudos to you, I’d have been out of the count ages ago :v
TOUCH THE UNTOUCHABLE, DRAW THE UNDRAWABLE! ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH!
GIIIIIIGAA
SSSTYYYYYLUS
BAAAARRRRRAAKUUU
Your work ethic is inspiring.
Well of course he doesn’t want to let them eat people food; that’ll undo all that butler and waiter training he did! Oh well, at least Jet got his little princesses back. And if anyone is wondering how Jet and Ace did/undid each other’s training, the answer is time travel.
That’s not Ace.
No it’s not (that’s Ace’ wife), but it was Ace who trained the fluffy-raptors to wear mini-tuxes and carry snack-trays
She’s JET’S wife, not Ace’s. and her Name is Angel
The next time my dad tells me to stop giving the dog treats or letting her play so much, I’m gonna use this line.
Oh dear lord the FLUFFY RAPTORS ARE BACK. I love them so much.
Also, that couch must be huge to fit him pretty comfortably AND all of those fluffy raptors.
Jet, your Raptors are fat. Team build with less salt and butter.
They’re not fat, they’re poofy!
I think they’re fat and just about the right size to be killed, plucked and roasted, maybe grilled, perhaps braised if they’re on the old side.
… damnit, now I’m hungry.
I legitimately cant see a downside to this.
“But you KNOW they can open pantry doors!”
Such Clever girls <3
You spoil us, Coelasquid. Fluffy raptors via airport wifi? So nice of you. :)
Angel ain’t kidding, though. There is just something about human food that is addictive to pets. My dog is by my side, sniffing the floor for crumbs whenever I have pizza or chicken.
The cat looks at me reproachfully whenever I get California rolls. He doesn’t even want them, really; but he smells seafood and something just ticks over in his brain.
My mother’s current dog never begged. He didn’t seem to understand the concept; he’d gladly lick plates clean before they’re washed, but he ignored humans preparing or eating food.
It took my grandma less than a day to ruin that.
Grandmas, good for ruining all social conditioning by parents and pet owners alike.
Those raptors are just too damn cute
Nice, he got them back from the Turkey?
What do you think they had for Sunday dinner? o_O
You are a terrifying juggernaut of artistic productivity.
Popcorn is made from corns, which is edible for birds. Okay, i know Raptors aren’t birds, but still, both Raptors & Birds came from the same ancestry bloodline. :l
Popcorn isnt the problem, its the salt and butter we drench it in. I dont like popcorn regardless, but plain popcorn is like styrofoam
It’s pretty good with cheese sauce, or the cheese powder that comes in instant macaroni boxes. Granted, that’s still salt and dairy…
This is so stupidly adorable that I can’t even this sentence or even a period
Awwwww I wish I could do this with my girls. but they would poop all over the house so I have to share my pop corn out side on the grass though they do climb all over me
Do you own raptors?
Thank you so much for continuing this comic, despite being ill and having a whirlwind life. Your dedication inspires me, and your comics are one of the few things I look forward to in the week. <3 You're appreciated and loved!
“Don’t think I can’t see what you’re doing there, rascal.”
And then he does nothing to stop it.
Now I wonder if he was just calling that raptor a rascal, or if its name is Rascal because it’s the troublemaker of the group. I will choose to believe the latter.
But once they get a taste for popcorn you can use it as an incentive for training them to pilot tiny mech suits.
I will never be unhappy to see fluffy raptors.
I would pay so much for a fluffy raptor plush to squeeze. o.o
LOL no need for plushies just get chickens. Mine are just like this. and hop into my lap and cuddle me
I’m so glad the raptors are back!
I use the same rationalization with our working dogs. :) Mind we feed raw…so basically they all eat what I do anyway, sometimes better.
Suddenly, I’m thinking of the Muppet Gonzo surrounded by all his chickens. He called them his “girls” and they were somehow part of his act. They didn’t speak like the other Muppets and I often wondered where he got them, why he was so fond of them and what the heck he did with them when they weren’t on stage.
The main chicken, Camilla, is his girlfriend.
Aaaaaaand I just spent an hour browsing the Muppets wiki. Thanks.
you think that’s weird he also uses a rubber chicken in his act… I wonder what happens to that when camilla has a headache
What about the rest of the hens? What were they? Backup…singers?
In the first Muppet Movie, they were all a sideshow act at travelling carnivals. I don’t remember what they did besides sing, I will have to spend an hour at the Muppets wiki now. But they all performed together. So the other hens were backup whatever.
We need more scientifically accurate pudgy budgie raptors. I pray that your comic will help others to feel the need for getting rid of the old “croc skin stretched over a naked skeleton” look we’ve been saddled with since the 1880’s.
I was watching Ink Master and they were doing dino tattoos. I was so disappointed none of them veered from the scaly into the feathered! Set yourself apart from the crowd, I said, and don’t draw weird little doodle arms on your surfing dino. Feathers would have helped hide that!
You mean the 1980s, right?
Actually, the 1780’s. Like, when we first officially started classifying dinosaurs as such and trying to recreate them anatomically. For example, did you know the whole “kangaroo tail dragger” stance for the T. rex was debunked in the 1930’s? Yet it stuck that way in people’s minds for decades. It took until Jurassic Park for the public consciousness to start thinking of theropods as carrying their bodies parallel to the ground. We’ve had misconceptions about specific species that lasted for over a hundred years.
I’ve no idea what those from, but they’re hilarious and adorable!
This isn’t the first time they’ve shown up. In fact, they featured prominently in the last arc.
They are Velociraptors, somewhat more accurately represented here than in other post-Jurassic Park media. Velociraptors where about the size of a turkey buzzard and covered at least partially in feathers. The raptors in the movie were closer in appearance to Dienonychus, and being called Velociraptors in the first place was do to author Michael Crichton getting the two mixed up while writing. Utahraptor was even considered to be given the name Velociraptor spielbergii at one point, but was determined to be a different genus.
“I thought you meant not food made of people”
So… Jet is basically the generic space future super soldier version of a crazy cat lady?
The male equivalent stereotype is the “asshole with those dogs”. That guy who chains dogs in his backyard. They’re basically feral — bark at everyone, break all their tethers, and generally terrify the neighborhood. And their dogs are almost as bad.
Jet’s quite a few steps up from that, he doesn’t ignore his pets.
Also crazy cat Lady is usually single. Jet is married to Angel!
Every time I see these puffy raptors and their woks and woos I hear the Final Fantasy chocobo song.
OH MY GOSH THEY LOOK SO SQUISHY
My God they’re so cute.
aw fuck yeah, raptor comic. Wok wok.
I may have forgotten my login, please accept this Coela.
*waits for how amazing color version will be*
It just dawned on me that we haven’t seen Canadian Guy in a while….I kinda miss ‘im
Me too.
Don’t know if that’ll show up, but it’s basically a less colorful version of the fluffy raptors. From here: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/04/160405-dinosaurs-feathers-birds-museum-new-york-science/
What if I just post the image URL?
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/content/dam/news/2016/04/01/feathered-dinosaur/05-feathered-dinosaur.adapt.1190.1.jpg
That’s awesome
I think you forgot his Cyborg Eye?
ok it looks right now in the colored version. i noticed there wasn’t the little circle crosshair thing on it before
Those fluffy babies are just getting fatter and fatter! He taught them to beg, now look at the monsters he’s created!
Finally saw the colored version and my first thought was “Huh. CGA”.
Looks great, but I’ll be damned if that color palette doesn’t look familiar :P.
