JS and Lars (and possibly Mike and James, too) – I think you ‘get’ what happened right away because this is the edited version. From earlier comments there seems to have been 5 panels in the original strip; now there are only 4. I wish I could see the original!

For once, I ‘got’ what happened right away. Seems obvious. Usually I have to read others’ comments to find out what happened.

The girl’s smirk is pretty cruel. She could have been a lot more gracious about saying no.

So what happened to Stone… I assume he was the rabbit on the left, not the weaselly guy?

I ‘got’ the strip right away, but I might have read too much into it… I was under the impression that the doe was dating the weaselly guy (and I assumed it was a guy), and that the buck figured being one of her kind, he could just step in and sway her some cliched gesture, but that he was placing too much emphasis on “race” and not enough on personality. I suppose there are dozens of ways to interpret this strip, though. It’s what you bring to it.

Wouldn’t a bunny be more likely to eat the flowers?

Yeah I’m actually amazed at some of the comments about not understanding the comic. That’s just mind-boggling. Were you people drunk when you read it?

How did any of you NOT understand this? It’s really quite plain and simple to follow…
It’s funny and sad too… Kinda like people not getting it

karl, I guess the reason I and others liked the original close-up was because we didn’t find it to be funny. Rather, we found it to be painfully familiar and liked it because of that. If your intention was for the panel to be funny, then the re-edit might be more so, by drawing attention away from the bunny and more onto the ladies.

I still don’t find it to be funny, though. And I would say that as far as losing sentiment, the removed close-up of his face said a lot more than the one in the current panel 3. At least to those of us who could relate to him.

The only people who aren’t getting this immediately are the people to whom this has never happened.

To the rest of us, this is beautifully sad.
