They must be from a rich, or paranoid, family. Small children are usually so much kinder to things! (Well, sometimes they don’t know the things they do are unkind, so you can’t blame them if they don’t know better…)
Shou, if you think thats true, try leaving a kitten alone with a toddler for a few hours. Kid’ll turn that cat inside out.
And the children grew up and had kids of their own. And on the first Sunday following the full moon in following the date in late march when first they met, they would gather their children together and tell then of the friendly rabbit who would hide eggs for them to find. And then they ate effigies of the rabbit carved from chocolate and feasted on its jellied leavings chanting “Rejoice! For the rabbit of Eastertide has returned and left for us tokens of his passing!”.
Nothing short of a great comic – though I think the money look a bit like grass from out point of view. But that’s a thing that can be easily overlooked. Awesome!
Wonderful Easter comic. It looked like the speech bubble was coming out of the truck at first, though, and I thought it was grass too. But once I got it, it was great. And sad. As usual.
It’s the international symbol for a biological hazard. It’s used to mark anything that is likely to be hazardous to human health. Hospitals use them a lot. You probably saw one there.
It’s either there because the rabbit actually is a biohazard, or because it is a convenient cover to keep people from getting nosy around. Who wants to go snooping around something that may screw with his health or kill him?
I believe that most regulatory bodies require any genetically modified organism (or potentially genetically modified organism) to be transported in a container or holding displaying the biohazard symbol. When presented with a talking, pink lagomorph, it is very likely that somebody would suspect genetic modification and hence require the biohazard symbol and the hazmat suits.
I have to agree with Steven: this comic strikes a dissonant chord that’s downright haunting, to the point where I can’t even bring myself to close its browser tab. I just come back to it and ponder it anew every couple of minutes. It’s bittersweet and wry at all once. Excellent, excellent work.
Unlike a few of the other comments I saw an opportunistic little kid who loves capitalism. I can just imagine him sitting back in his room counting the money and easter eggs he gleefully tricked out of the ‘joneses’. He’ll go far in the business world..

Is that money, or grass?

That…is so sad. Par for the course with this comic though. I simultaneously hate and love you for it.

What’s the symbol on that truck? I know I’ve seen it before.

Its the Biochemical Symbol – Probably means the rabbit is a human-made freak

“from getting nosy around”? I honestly don’t know where I was going with that.

jfizer… I will never look at a cadbury egg the same way again.
That rabbit looks like he escaped from a methodone clinic. Am I right?

Oh my god, that’s tragic. I don’t know, but I feel so damn sad after watching that. Kid with no heart. Poor Easter Rabbit never saw it coming.
