So there's definitely going to be a Moosebody AI right
Matt Byron
No realli! She was Karving her initials øn the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law

I will always remember one part of CHP motorcycle school. If you see a small animal or object in the road, it can be dangerous to avoid it, prepare to surmount the obstacle. If you encounter a larger animal such as a deer or moose avoid it. Hitting it is like crashing into a semi. So TLDR avoid moose, tar snakes and wet leaves.

I love Veronica's Emmett Crinkle Smile
Marc Ducharme
They're not wrong.
Bagge
Yeah, Barry

A Møøse once bit my sister...

Lyrics to a nsfw song re: moose. Nothing helps an earworm quite like sharing it. :-) https://stursula.lochac.sca.org/songs/the-moose-song/

I wish this webcomic hadn't been completed at great expense and at the last minute, but what are ya gonna do??
Rich Holmes
That's why I keep my Patreon subscription, only we get the finest artisanal speech bubble tails.
Churchill (formerly TeaBear)
The word you're looking for, Sam, is "Step-brother".
Mad Marie
That sneaky moose strikes again!
Mad Marie
At least he fixed it here?
Marion Wellington
just a heads up, the "why" speech bubble is coming from Veronica on the main site
Anthony Scott
I now wish that the comic text below was the topic text here!
Todd Ellner
I think she's just laughing because the whole scene is emmetnently adorkable
Jason Pelton
@ Ethan No realli! She was Karving her initials øn the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law -an Oslodentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...
ValdVin
Is Veronica in the background shipping Sam and Emmett? Sam's emphasis on "girlfriend" (and her eyes) seem a bit of a tell.
Ethan Searls
A Møøse once bit my sister
VoxOrbisBrad
That's pretty good advice. Annoyed Megafauna are bad for your health - as in, the 'turn you into strawberry jam' kind of bad.
Taewyn Dragomire
Honestly I would probably start with that advice too, having lived in moose country myself before.
Mad Marie
Zak: Agreed! (btw see Lenore’s note in the comment above)

Grizzlies don’t count?
Devinity
I feel like the speech bubble in panel two for "Why?" looks like it's coming from Veronica rather than Emmett
Dan Curtis
Nice Holy Grail reference Also fun fact about Moose is they are the last surviving megafauna in North America.
William Karr
When paired with a squirrel they’re also bad for the king of hell.
James Lomele
what eats moose orcas eat moose.
Jeff Gedney
First of all, there’s an awful lot of Monty Python fans here, and I think I have found my people. Second, moose are huge abominations of nature, foul tempered - especially in the fall, and a lot larger than you think, even if you have seen them in real life, their hugeness still impresses you. Bison are like that too. Bigger than you think they ought to be.
Mad Marie
Prediction: the “La lee loo!” fairy has a Canadian cousin who shows up in random comics galavanting around town with a moose wearing hockey skates.
Mad Marie
As seen on Patreon: one speech bubble tail points to an unexpected character, and seven people independently pipe up to point it out.

The brain augmentation group keep asking permission to enhance it but they get denied by the single extremely overworked lawyer on payroll.
Dean Reilly
It turns out that Cubetown's head of particle physics is a moose. It wandered in through an open door one day, and it was unanimously decided that giving it tenure was safer than trying to chase it out.
Chris Crowther
I think the "Why?" speech bubble is misaligned.
Ted Van Roekel
No, is Chekov's MOOSE.
Joseph Bonnar
Their office is right next to Dr. R. J. Squirrel.
Auros Harman
Maybe the llama is already here, it's just using the emu's cloaking device.
Auros Harman
Vy nöt try a lövly höliday in Sveden dis yaär?
Waffliesinyoface
well now there NEEDS to be an AI researcher whose body is moose-shaped
jonesnori
Care to tell any?
Watso
As an Alaskan, I have a dozen moose stories. They are scary creatures
legobil
What about Mayor Cookiemoose. He is nice. And tasty. Well, regular moose can also be tasty, if cooked properly. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3874
Professor Harmless
I want to meet Professor Bullwinkle.
TV4Fun
I understood that reference.
Bill Silvia
It took me longer than I'd prefer to get that reference
Nutjob
Wait wait. Does this mean... Mrs. Maplehooves is actually DOCTOR Maplehooves?
Jon Cary
I hope there is a Llama joke coming up next...
Jeff
…moosticles…
Dylan T
That better not be a Chekov's gun, Jeph.
SpookyPenguin
the majestic møøse
djellafine
No realli!
James Dominguez
Came here to say this. The tail is pointing to the wrong person.
awgiedawgie
Yeah, but the goose doesn't weigh 400 kilos.
Joseph Bonnar
Emmet really shrinks into themselves when talking to a strange human. Jeph, that's remarkably well done.
Karel P Kerezman
That "Why?" speech bubble isn't pointed where I think you wanted it pointed, methinks.
SilverbackRon
And now every full moon, she runs free in the wildlands.
Miyaa
I don’t know what you did to that moose but clearly they have revenge on their minds.
Kristoffer Hansen
Speaking as a Canadian, I'd be more concerned about the gooses. Moose'll leave you alone for the most part. A goose'll be on ya faster than two greased Newfies going after the last Tim Bit.
Sean Kinlin
This puts me in mind of <i>The Moosepire</i>, by Daniel Pinkwater.
Miyaa
I got spooked once by a mama elk & her child at the Ecola State Park near Cannon Beach in Oregon. Like could not move or do anything other than relieve myself spooked.
Marc Pengryffyn
No, really, my sister bitten by a moose once...
Vilinda
Moose rule where they wander.
Michael Boettger
Are Elk related to Moose? I had a couple of encounters with elk that frightened me to no end.
Pete Hanson
I've been chased by a moose while riding my bicycle, and came nose-to-nose with one once when getting off a bus. I decided I could get off at the next stop.
Sara Larner
I will say, the fact that moose swim so much that a regular predator for the moose is the orca whale is a fact that lives absolutely rent-free in my head forever
Fart Captor
Have you SEEN a moose? Just one of them is enough to gang up on you
Fart Captor
The only cure for moose bites is to kill the moose that bit you before you turn
Fart Captor
Yeah, I think the tail on that word bubble is pointed the wrong way
Kajsa Anderson
That would be Nørway, Swedish doesn't use ø
Yvonne Hanafee
This is QC. There are moose who do particle physics. Maybe not at Cube Town, but they do exist. (My money’s on them working out of McMurdo Station…)
Czarzhan
And if you encounter a moose when swimming, do NOT get between the moose and the orca hunting it.
Joseph Bonnar
Moose are bad news in general. Just ask Boris or Natasha...
Yvonne Hanafee
Has any car ever passed? Have any tanks?

A Møøse once bit my sister... No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...
Sleepy John
I'd watch out for the Canada geese. At least the moose don't gang up on you.
Seidmadr
As a Swede: don't go near moose. They are huge and will mess you up.
Anthony Bond
A Møøse once bit my sister...
Miyaa
I hope his secretary isn’t an AI flying squirrel.
Grace Kieser
They say Russians are strong like a bear, but Emmett is strong like a moose!
Bill Silvia
That's fine, but if they call Aurelia a hamster it'll come to blows.
Quasitling
Is that "Why?" speech balloon in panel 2 supposed to be pointing in Sam and Veronica's direction? It feels like it only makes sense for Emmett to have said that then.
Sean Kinlin
Aren't there elementary particles known as moosons?
Bill Silvia
Alternatively, Veronica is just being a troll.
Zak Reichle
... maybe she can throw her voice? Edit: She being Veronica, I am aware that Emmett uses they/them.
Rich Holmes
In my 40 years of particle and nuclear physics I met very, very few researchers who were moose. Certainly fewer than 600.
Finvaara
I love this comic. I think the speech bubble in the 2nd panel might be pointing at the wrong actor.
Miyaa
Tomorrow: Claire gets accosted by a French Canadian border patrol agent claiming her dad smelled like elderberries.
Paul Zagieboylo
Why is Veronica asking "Why?" in panel 2? Seems like that ought to be Emmett.
J Nauer
2nd panel, the middle speech bubble looks like it is pointed to the wrong character (Veronica, but should be Emmet?). Also, my sister was once bitten by a møøse.
Jonathan Woodcock
come for the adorable dorks, stay for the Monty Python references ... seriously though, keep clear of the mooses
Taryn
Møøse bites are what you get when you gø øn høliday in Sweden
Zak Reichle
Did it not pay, for services rendered?
Bitter Donald
I watched a video of a mom having her kid do a "moose check" before leaving the house and getting in the car for school

I did not know moose bit; I only know about the “Moose Test” used to gauge car safety. That is scary enough.
Jon Guyer
Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked
Bill Silvia
I'm calling it: The Director is an AI moose.
Edward Clayton Andrew
Never mind physics, Martin! They can swim! They attacked whales! And WON!
Zak Reichle
Heroic restraint and composure there from Veronica
Miyaa
Are we going to have to sack some people for that møøse comment?
BeatButton
the "Why?" in panel 2 appears to be coming from Veronica even though it looks like Emmet should be saying it
Nat Welch
Martin better watch out, moose can swim.
VC
Time for sacking
Tannerbot
Solid advice Emmet!
Martin Krikorian
My sister was bit by a moose once...
Yelling Bird
I punched a bull once.
