In case you’re wondering, what Monty is saying there in the third panel has nothing to do with the conversation. It is strictly about Pete’s archery skills.
I started drawing Beaver with his tail up just to indicate that he is a beaver. But then, I realized real beavers didn’t do that. Mostly I don’t care (because they don’t wear caps, operate restaurants or get in fist-fights with possums, either) but then I started wondering WHY would this particular beaver carry his up like that? Now you know.
