Oh wow this is funny! I was not expecting an unrelated glimpse into the tragic life of beavers at the end of this arc. I made an account just to say how much I love this strip.
Anybody else see the cat in the first panel... but not have it really register and then spend a few minutes looking in the background in each panel for a hidden cat... only to eventually realize that it was right in front of you the whole time?!? Mad at myself for that one..
I agree with @AlexPiercey, the last panel is the joke. If you'd wanted the comic to just be a window into another horrible, casual thing that happened in that woods then yes, that last panel should be left out, but instead you put a human emotion on a beaver's face and made us laugh and feel bad at the same time. Which I did. And I do. It was awesome.
that is the most horrible thing I've ever laughed at. I feel awful. Thank you for making me question my human decency, Katie, you brilliant, brilliant artist.
and the other shoe falls, ... and what a shoe it is.
when Colin threw the pills into the river, i wasn't too bothered; i figured it would take at least 5 ~ 10 years at sea before the plastic would degrade enough to release the 'candy'. thank you, Katie, for providing a plausible mechanism for releasing the fun in a much shorter time frame.

Also, now we know where Malachi's letter ended up.
YOU
TEASE.

Dead animals make me sad.
Then again, judging from the color it might not be his. We have a motive.
Side note, obvious cat is obvious. I have a feeling it was put there to trick us though, still looking for the real secret cat.
I'd love to see a new mini-game in the comic: Instead of spot the feral kitty, spot the traumatized wildlife!
...I may be a terrible person.
