Title Text: what's this angry birds thing, this is not very realistic

Nobody thinks they need a smartphone till they own a smartphone.

Yes, putting them together in the same space is cause for mass destruction by total cuteness <3

These are a few of the best couples in the comic.

Personally I find the fleshy thin tail stroking his face creepy,

A gift for his best girl,
a stroke from her slight tail,
a burger for Bailey,
King's senses fail.
A magnificent meringue,
a place to shine and dine
A non dashing Daryl
tells the waitress 'That's mine'
A total lack of Tiger,
a place of minor peace;
There may be work to come
but, for now, worries cease.

If it weren't for Jess' tail, Zach would still be lost in the woods, hanging into a tree branch with his scarf.

I'd eat any kind of pie, except coconut pie, it's just nasty.

I said nothing of it's convenience, just that I think the stroking of it across his check is creepy.

Well, he likes it.

I'm not saying he doesn't like it, I'm just saying it's not very visually appealing.

Aww, looks like King needs to take a ride to sleepy time junction!

... hose bath?

My guess? Connected with connecting Pie.

So sweet.

Pretty much. I only got my smartphone last year, and wow, what a year.

Maybe it's a thing that possum couples do, and probably anything with a strong enough tail. Probably like stroking through a significant other's hair or something.

Is it weird that the forest animal gets a smartphone, and I still use a Nokia?

Post by **D-Rock** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 1:34 am

Dude, I had an LG slide phone prior to my current Samsung Galaxy S2.

...I tend to be behind the trend.

If he can get a smartphone for $50, I sense a certain 'four finger' wolf sold it him.

I think he's already saved most of the money, he just needed roughly 50 more clams.

Mickey · Post by **Mickey** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 1:42 am

I will take any phone you put in my hands and lose it within the year.

Nokia makes smartphones! Or, at least, they did till Microsoft bought their mobile phone division. I've got a Lumia 822 in red.

So, Fat Daryl eats all that food, and he's still hungry?! Dang, that wolf has an appetite (and apparently also a black hole for a stomach).

This reminds me of the canteen in Australia from the heavens not enough arc part 3.
What will Jessica do with a smart phone anyway? PIES! Pies for everyone!

She'll call Zach. Or be called by him.

Fri Jul 17, 2015 4:05 am

they'll text with each other.

I was hoping for snuggles.

Close enough. <3

Aww, Zach got Jess a smartphone so they can keep in touch. ^.^

He's probably been saving up for a while, but you *can* get Android phones for $50 or less if you mail-order them from China.

The expensive part isn't the phone, it's the contract. It's probably prepaid so she's not going to be downloading much. Unless she leeches Wifi from the back of Chik-fil-A.

Zach's true genius is that at the rate cheap smartphones go through battery, Jess is going to be coming by for a recharge every day.

SuperStar wrote:Well, I mean a classic Nokia.

A *real* Nokia. From before Microsoft ruined them.

Though Nokia did make one of the first, if not the first, smartphone back in the '90s.

Who doesn't have a cellphone in the cast these days? :3

I think it's interesting that Bailey/King go out with Zach/Jess. It's an unexpected relationship between them, but it's also sensible since Zach and King actually have quite a bit in common, same with Bailey and Jess.

It also leads me to believe that Jess is going to be the midwife to Bailey's pups if not Lucrecia.

He has 5k to spend. The waitress may soon be his 'significant other'.

My gosh, this is all just so sweet I think I gained 20 pounds from this strip alone

. King and Bailey are going to be excellent parents; nurturing outgoingness and loyalty.

You know, I have yet to play angry birds (is it really that addictive?)

WishIWasHearEarlier · Post by **WishIWasHearEarlier** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 9:04 am

How sweet, but Jessica better be careful. Who knows what would happen if any of her friends found out what a smartphone is and who is calling her.

Dissension wrote:Nobody thinks they need a smartphone till they own a smartphone.

I might be the only person in this forum that would disagree with that statement.

This was a nice ending to a really fun arc. King has been so adorable thought the whole thing, I still can't even.

Hee, hee! Hope Daryl's a good tipper! Can he declare her as a dependent? But then, Jack may find a way to skim whatever he brings home, anyway...

The meal choices are interesting. Bailey has what looks like the Burger Basket, King is Livin' on Love, Zach has a healthy salad (well, he is an herbivore) and Daryl is Wolfing down the Special (one of everything and two of those).
