In today’s comic, there’s not much to see.

Colin: So, Kaleb, is this where the fight happened?
Kaleb: Yessir.
Colin: A- are those what I think they are?
Kaleb: Yeah, they're Tanya’s panties.
Kaleb: This is the knife he used to cut ‘em off.
Colin: Don’t touch it! leave it for the police.
Kaleb: But I already touched it! She was all taped up and I had to cut it all off to get her away!
Kaleb: See! There’s still tape on the pipe. That’s how he tied her up, an’ there was also a weird smelling jar that was sitting here.
Colin: Jar, you say?
Kaleb: Yeah, it had cotton in it, and it smelled a bit like medicine.
Colin: Damn, it sounds like he used chloroform. do you remember anything else?
Kaleb: Well, the cat’s shorts and undies were laying in the mud over there.
Benni: They ain't here!
Colin: What’s not here, Benni?
Benni: The flowers I bought! I found Kaleb’s backpack ‘n helmet, an’ I looked ‘round ’cause I left ‘em there, too, but they’s gone!
Colin: Don’t worry, Benni! We can buy more.
Kaleb: Yessir.
Colin: A- are those what I think they are?
Kaleb: Yeah, they're Tanya’s panties.
Kaleb: This is the knife he used to cut ‘em off.
Colin: Don’t touch it! leave it for the police.

i love the lighting, specially in panel 4.
Poor Benni; he’s still concerned about those flowers. I do wonder where they went, though.
It actually seems really accurate to have Benin obsessing over something trivial like flowers. It’s his way of coping with the traumatic situation. Hope he’s able to get new ones. After he does though, I’m not sure what will happen.
The plot thickens! Where did the flowers go???
Maybe someone came back to “clean up” the scene. Who would have removed the evidence (the jar) and taken the flowers with her???
Obviously the perpetrator would be the obvious choice…
After all, Benni left him sans pants. He couldn’t have walked home naked from the waist down.
Afa the other evidence… if Jestan didn’t take it away himself, the next most likely culprit would be his Dad, assuming Jestan dared tell him what happened.
Don’t forget, there was 2 other kids with Jestan. And one was not very happy at what the boy did to Tanya.
They really didn’t have nearly as much motivation to come back and clean up the evidence, though.
No i think he ment that the girl would testify. But if this doesnt earn some points with tanya and munch i dont know what will. He protected his brother (munch has to respect that) and avenged tanya. Tanya has been mostly right to be pissed at benni but he came around has the names and faces of her assaulters. I can see her being much nicer to him in the future.
Are you sure it was a she that took the flowers?
I happened to also think it was a she, the mother of one of the boys, gone to get the place tidy so she can keep her kit home and punish him herself,… Instead of letting the authorities do it. That way she can make sure it’s done right!
Fortunately there’s enough debris around that the police will be able to get info of off what’s left. That and I doubt that what happened, despite the rain, erased or washed away fur and the like. Combine that with the cubs’ account, the evidence at the hospital and I think that there are some raping bullies that are going to have a very bad day. And Mr. Campion, I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with the improved art skills you’ve demonstrated on this strip. The shading effects are absolutely fantastic and you should be very pleased with yourself!… Read more »
Got sinking feeling that jestan is gonna try and flip it in some way to make benni look like the guilty one instead of him.
Assuming he’s clever enough to succeed, which previous scenes of him have failed to indicate.
Idk he did plan out the whole attack and recruited the other two kits to help him.
Only for Beth-Anne to have to be chased off and Benni to manage to catch him.
I think you -all- might have the right idea. I’m burning to know how this is going to play out. I (personally) have a special interest in justice in cases like this.
If he tries, he’ll fail because he forgot about two other kits…
Kaleb and Tanya
As well as the wild card Beth-Anne.
From potential DNA in the rape kit, to fur and fingerprints as he taped up Tanya, I’m sure he won’t be able to make it seem like Benni did it, and if both Kaleb and Tanya say Benni didn’t as well..
What’s with the comic navigation? Hitting next takes us back to the beginning
Looks like a bug was fixed with the last update, and I never noticed it. Fixed! And hopefully shouldn’t return with any new chapter additions.
Umm… how were the police not already informed when a 12 year old victim of sexual assault/rape was brought to the hospital and a rape kit ordered?
I’m sure they were, but I don’t think they knew the precise location it happened.
Also, Tanya is 9.
