- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

MODERATORS
They wouldnt care the cat isnt obviously clawless, they would just thank their lucky stars when the cat cant climb a tree. Coyotes dont like clawed cats because they can get up the tree, not because the claws deter them.
A coyote is like a mangy dog in the same way a colt 45 is like a slingshot, in that they could both throw lead. Theyre smaller than wolves, but thats like saying "oh elk arent big, theyre smaller than moose," or "my truck isnt big, its smaller than a tank," or "oh my floodlights arent bright, theyre dimmer than the sun."
Most predators dont give cats a wide berth unless they arent hungry. But if the belly needs filling? Yum yum
But mangy dogs can't throw lead!
I thought coyotes would more be BB guns.
Also, do NOT underestimate the power of a slingshot and lead bullets.
I suppose like I should not underestimate the power of a coyote.
Although I am pretty sure that 1 on 1 I would take down a coyote in hand to hand combat. I think I could manage up to a kangaroo.
Unless you can bench press 3x+ your body weight, you would be a roo warm up. Even ignoring their muscle, they fight with 4 arms, each with claws as long as your pinky finger.
I do not underestimate a slingshot with any ammo, but I also dont underestimate dogs with mange.
And while coyotes are definitely a big deal for things smaller than us, we are big enough to give lone yotes pause. Wolves? Fuck, dude, wolves are huge. A lone sick wolf could kill you without effort. Thats a boar level threat. Wolf to coyote def makes the yote look like a sling shot
HAHAHAHAHA! That's the second out loud laugh I've had today! That's funny, not underestimating dogs with mange!
But the real joke is that you think I can't take out a kangaroo in solo hand to hand combat. I'm not talking the biggest ones, like maybe a smaller one, like a female or a youngling, but let's say if I'd be about the same weight class.
I'd move in so fast in and under and start grappling, ju jitsu it on the ground likely with a leg sweep and a throw, then move my way into a rear naked chokehold, just choke the sucker out.
I also think I can outrun a Komodo Dragon with a piece of raw meat strapped to me on a 5 meter length rope. I can outrun it without the rope, but for insurance reasons I'd rather not.
I am also (kind of) joking and only mean all of it in good humor. :)
Edit: Although... Getting into a kicking session could maybe kind of work. Kangs got range, of course, but let it come at me with one of those tail-standing-leg kicks and me countering with a mofunking low kick to its shins or the quads and see how it feels after that. I also think they might get tired quickly doing that shit, although they're wild animals so I'm not so sure.
Edit again: Also, don't forget that humans can also bite and gouge out eyes and headbutt and kick em in the groin, every groin equipped animal underestimates the kick to the groin.
Edit once more: Of course most importantly, humans can also love, and everyone underestimates the power of love.
