He's The Mayor, You See

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?

Mooster

Why not both?

Brian

Took me a moment to get this.

Gregory Norris

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

Ruth Merriam

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.

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

Joe

If you make a mouse a cookie...

Wait, there is a cookie MOUSE? Suddenly terrified.

Matthew Van Gangelen

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

I think you're confusing major with mayor

tamtheotter

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

Just like Cookiemonster!

Trigon Manthree

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

Don Whiteside

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

Bruce Steinberg

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.

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

Alex Borders

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.

Greg Morrow

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!

Douglas E. Smith

"cookiesmoose"

Matt Grayson

Bless you for this comment.

EnterTheHero

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

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

Ben Russell-Gough

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

BobC

I know that song!

Am Queue

Dana Cardinal is a moose?

Tom B

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

Andrew

All right - who let Claire sniff tea?

Bagge

Pfeffernusse Cookiemoose?

It would help with this storyline!

Grace Kieser

"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!"

Hugh Eckert

I need to know what type of cookies those are.

Am Queue

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

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.

Populuxe

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

Chuck Dee

Those cookies look like moose pellets.

Pete Hanson

Is this pot, or mushrooms?

Daryl Sawyer

Is cookiemoose its own plural?

Captain Button

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

This is too high for me

Kyle Major

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

Eric Christian Berg

I, for one, something something cookie moose overlord.

Mordaeus

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

Peter McDevitt

I agree with your decision-making process

Marlo Delfin Gonzales

Jeph, your as baked as they are my friend
