He's The Mayor, You See

Mooster

Jeph, hey, I'm so sorry i'm doing this in the forgiveness/permission order, but I realized I should've asked before I used Mayor CookieMoose as my avatar. May I please?

Brian

Why not both?

Gregory Norris

Took me a moment to get this.

Ruth Merriam

I'm with Don Whiteside. I pretty much did a spit-take upon closer inspection of their eyes. Totally makes the strip.

Never seen a cookie moose...although I have the rather startling experience of being stoned while discovering the epic guitar solo that lasts the entire end credit roll of TWISTER. If you're not prepared for that, that will entrance you.

Joe

but now do you need to give the moose a muffin??

If you make a mouse a cookie...

Matthew Van Gangelen

Wait, there is a cookie MOUSE? Suddenly terrified.

Well, yes, but it was working. It was keeping me from thinking about Mayor Cookiemouse, who becomes real as soon as imagined.

tamtheotter

I think you're confusing major with mayor

I want a comic about the minor cookiemoose. I imagine it as plaintive, wistful, and under eighteen, but I could be wrong.

Trigon Manthree

Just like Cookiemonster!

Don Whiteside

I appreciate the commitment to accuracy in making the visible sclera slightly red

Bruce Steinberg

I'm making this Claire's next response in my headcanon version of this strip.

If two entities are indiscernible, they are identical. That is: For any x and y, if x and y have all the same properties, then x is identical to y.

Alex Borders

Does anyone else feel an overwhelming desire to break off a piece of antler to eat?

Greg Morrow

English is right-headed (compounds and the like are the kind of thing on the right side of the word or phrase), so "cookiemoose" would be a moose with some kind of cookie quality determined by context; here, made of cookies.

Douglas E. Smith

Did this pop into your head a while ago and the whole 'High Noon Claire' storyline has been a run-up to telling that joke? If so, then well done sir!

Matt Grayson

"cookiesmoose"

EnterTheHero

Bless you for this comment.

So. Moose is over there. Where is Squirrel? Orders are to Kill Moose and Squirrel, right?

Ben Russell-Gough

I'm sure that this conversation meant something in the respective characters' heads.

BobC

Personally, I prefer "Moosecookie". Moooooscookie. Mooooooo Scookie. Moo, Scookie, Moo!

I know that song!

Tom B

Dana Cardinal is a moose?

Andrew

Huh. Was going to joke about making hemp tea... but it's already a thing!

Bagge

All right - who let Claire sniff tea?

Pfeffernusse Cookiemoose?

Grace Kieser

It would help with this storyline!

Hugh Eckert

"Cookiemoose, cookiemoose / I like a cookiemoose / I've never had anything quite like a cookiemoose / I've had many baked goods, it's quite ridiculoose / But I've never had anything quite like a cookiemoose!"

I need to know what type of cookies those are.

"420 years" ... I see what you did there, Jeph.

Populuxe

He won the election against the Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home and Hiram McDaniel who is literally a five-headed dragon.

Chuck Dee

What if the cookiemoose is made of mousse that is flavored like oreos?

Pete Hanson

Those cookies look like moose pellets.

Daryl Sawyer

Is this pot, or mushrooms?

Captain Button

Is cookiemoose its own plural?

What if the cookiemoose is made of mouse which is made of cookies.

Kyle Major

This is too high for me

Eric Christian Berg

A Møøse once bit my sister... No realli!

Mordaeus

I, for one, something something cookie moose overlord.

Peter McDevitt

If you give a moose a cookie, he will then bite your sister.

Marlo Delfin Gonzales

I agree with your decision-making process

Lord Crusade

Jeph, your as baked as they are my friend
