I just handed in a report on Red Deer mtDNA in Scotland. i thought, relax, have a few beers, go on the internet where you wont have to think about any large cervids again… dang.
In Hind site (feel free to throw stuff) I may have had one to many beers if I forgot this was coming in the course of my re-reading.
Yes, yes, Herne was an antlered god of the hunt and the forest, but… Can no one else honestly say that wasn’t at least tied for the first thing they thought of upon reading the name?
Hmm… A mute deer-human that spoke with sign language would really throw Shadowchild for a loop, though since normal deer are typically incapable of sign language it might not consider it a deer, and consider it a one-thing like itself.
Yay deer!
I just hope he’s not a hunter… *cough*
Isn’t Herne a god? And deer + hyena = trouble.
Well, looks like somebody DID smell a deer!
Oh, interesting. The plot doth thicken!
This will play havoc on poor Shadowchild. A deer that talks!
Okay, now they just have to ditch the kid, and it’¨s basically “Inherit the Earth”. ;-p
**blinkblink** Okay, how many people stared at this and involuntarily said “Oh dear…”? **raises hand**
Herne the hunter is either a god or a cursed ghost. depending on you pick of literature.
Herne is indeed a god, though maybe not in this story.
Oh Deer…..
Ysabet….*raises hand*
I thought “Dear lord, there’s an earthly use for a deer. Oh, and poor Shadowchild. This CANNOT end well…I’ll get the popcorn.”
Ysabet – That’s right where I went too.
Is Herne related to Eland in any way?
It’s a Deer Man!!
This is going to cause so many kinds of trouble…
I didn’t say “Oh, dear.”
I _did_ say something stronger, though with the same flavour…
Yeah, my first thought was along the lines of “Shadowchild is going to be SO confused … ”
🙂
Not to mention what Digger’s going to go through when she realizes the same thing.
….TAlkInG DeEr?! So.. confused… DAMN YOU URSULA!!
*facepalm*
…
*facepalm*
Herne is generally a Celtic/Pict god of the forest and the hunt.
Cool!
I would bet my money on Herne if Grim-Eyes decided to get “hungry”.

You’re forgiven. We know it came from the hart.
@Rags:
…I’m kind of disappointed nobody else seems to have caught the reference. Although they still need a moose. Assuming Grim Eyes works as a fox.
dear god(s) the fallout from this is going to make the aftermath of a colbolt bomb detonation look like a sunny flower filled meadow.
@Rags & Sildraug:
That’s exactly what I thought.
My first thought was, “Oh deer lord, this can’t end well.”
…
Well, Shadowchild is going to have FUN with this guy.
“Sir, you’re a deer that TALKS, right?”
I LOL’d…
in the blink of an eye, we go from the Indian sub-continent to Gwynedd province in Wales… this comic makes me so HAPPY!!!
Henre! your making grimeyes drool!
Oh, he and Grim Eyes are going to get along like a house on fire.
wait…
XD Shadowchild and talking deer!
As in Herne the Hunted?
Yes, yes, Herne was an antlered god of the hunt and the forest, but… Can no one else honestly say that wasn’t at least tied for the first thing they thought of upon reading the name?

Oooooh… talking deer. I love when you realize that something was foreshadowing. 😛
@Rags & Sildraug: I always quite liked Inherit the Earth. Need to look it up again.
