Wolves

Benny came to the birthday party because his mom had volunteered him to help supervise the children. He must have felt out of place being the lone teenage boy amidst a flock of over-excited six-year-old girls, but we welcomed his presence. We saw him as a sort of prop that we could manipulate in our imaginary games - a living, breathing human that would submit to pretending to be whatever we wanted it to pretend to be. On that particular day, we wanted to play a game called "wolf pack" which we had invented after watching a documentary about the hunting tactics of wolves.

We swarmed Benny as he was preparing to pour himself a glass of apple juice.


As a 13-year-old boy, Benny probably did not relish the idea of wasting an entire day entertaining us. But he was a good-natured young man, and he had agreed to help keep us out of trouble, so he reluctantly asked us what we wanted to play.

Us:  "Wolf pack!" 

Benny: "How do you play 'wolf pack'?" 

Us: "We're the wolves and you're the deer. We close our eyes and count to twenty and you run away. Then we try to find you and catch you!"

Benny:  "Okay. Where do you want to play?" 

Us:  "In the forest!" 

Benny followed us outside and we led him deep into the vast expanse of backwoods wilderness that was to be our playing field.  We reached a small clearing and decided to start the game there.  We yelled at Benny, "Now run away!"  

And we began to count.  

Benny scurried off into the forest, calling out behind himself to help make the game easier for us.  He thought we would have trouble finding and catching him.  


What Benny did not know was that we were incredibly serious about the realistic aspects of "wolf pack."  In our wildly vivid imaginations, we were actually wolves and Benny was actually a deer. 


We found him almost immediately.   


Benny probably would have tried harder if he knew that losing the game involved so much biting.  But he did not expect that the game would be so true to life. I'm sure it was quite painful for him, but that was a necessary casualty for the game to feel convincing and fun.  

Benny fought bravely, but there were too many of us and he was handicapped by his reluctance to punch and kick a bunch of six-year-olds. We wrestled him to the ground and bit him repeatedly until we were satisfied that we had "killed" him.


At that point, Benny had two options: he could stand there and try to reason with us until we finished counting and mauled him again, or he could flee and try to find his way back to the safety of the house before we caught him. 

Benny chose fleeing.  

But it was starting to get dark and the woods were unfamiliar to Benny.  There were labyrinths of footprints, left behind from our previous forest adventures, providing a confusing web of false trails.  He desperately clawed his way through the underbrush in a random direction that he hoped was the right one, but he only had twenty seconds and things weren't looking good for him.  We finished counting and took off after him. 


Benny was faster than us, but we greatly outnumbered him and we were able to strategically "herd" him into a clearing where we surrounded him and went in for the kill.  


Benny had severely underestimated our hunting and maiming capabilities.  We were not like ordinary little girls who frittered away their time hosting tea parties and pretending to be princesses.  We had spent countless hours out in the forest, sharpening our hunting tactics on imaginary prey and we finally had an opportunity to put all of our practice to use on a real thing that would run away from us and struggle for survival.  Unfortunately for Benny, we had not yet developed the ability to empathize with the pain and suffering of other people, and his terrified fleeing was pretty much the most fun thing that had ever happened to us. 

Once again, we let him stand up after we were satisfied that we had bitten him enough times.  


It became clear to Benny that he was going to have to play the game over and over and over until he could find his way back to the house.  He had to make the most of the 20 seconds we gave him to flee and try to make as much progress as possible in between maulings.  

We were exhausted from all of the chasing, but we weren't ready to stop playing, so we began to rely much more heavily on stealth. We stalked Benny through the darkening woods, waiting for him to make himself vulnerable to attack.


The psychological torment of waiting to be attacked was almost worse than the attacks themselves.  We darted around in the shadows, snapping twigs and making strange growling noises.  We sounded like tiny chainsaws.  

We would have continued to torture Benny for hours, possibly even days, but our parents called us home for birthday cake.


We cared about cake more than we cared about Benny, so we abandoned him in the woods and ran back to the house. Benny heard us being called, but he couldn't see where we went from his hiding spot. He tried to follow our shrieking voices, but just ended up getting turned around.

At first, no one noticed that we had arrived back at the house without Benny, but the topic did eventually come up.

My mom: "Where's Benny?"

Us: "Outside." 

My mom: "Doesn't he want some cake?"

Us: "No." 

My mom: "He should at least come inside and get warm..." 

Us: "He's fine." 

We didn't actually know if Benny was okay, but we wanted cake and talking about Benny wasn't bringing us any closer to that goal. 

 Eventually, the adults went looking for him. They tromped into the woods with flashlights, yelling "BEEENNNNYYYYY! BENNNNYYYYYYYYY!" They were startled to hear loud crashing and branches snapping behind them, but it turned out to be Benny. He stumbled into the pool of light cast by the flashlight.


Benny's mom:  "Benny, what are you doing?" 

Benny: "Where are they?" 

My mom:  "The girls?  They came back an hour ago, are you still out here looking for them?" 

Benny: "No." 

Benny's Mom: ".... Well, you should really come up to the house, sweetie. It's cold out here."  

And so Benny got to come back to the house. When he walked through the door, we ran over to him and hugged his legs. "Bennybennybennybenny!" we shrieked. Bennybennybennybennybennybenny! We brought him a huge piece of cake on the most special plate we could find, and we watched him eat it to make sure he was enjoying it.


When he finally had to go home, we cried out after him, "Benny, are you coming back?  When are you coming back to play with us?"  Benny's mom remarked about how cute it was that we loved him so much, "isn't that just adorable, Benny? They really seem to like you!"  She assured us that Benny would come back to play with us soon.

This post made me almost die laughing. But poor Benny, I hope he didn't suffer too traumatically.

Missy said...

Ha! I grew up in rural Idaho, so I totally identified with this. I could skin a deer by the time I was 8 years old. Now I have an 8-year-old, and I can barely get him to cut his steak at dinner. Also, I have a 4 year old daughter who DOES spend her time hosting tea parties and playing Princess, and it is totally alien to me. Where is the mud, the filth, the lessons on how to track animals? No cool forts made via plywood and a dry irrigation ditch -- just a fancy tower with an actual swingset connected. My kids get no childhood, I tell you.

Man, I feel bad for Benny, but I can definitely relate to the mighty hunting six-year-olds. I took playing pretend very seriously back in the day.

Connie said...

Awesome post, and I love your drawings! Benny may have been traumatized initially, but knowing how young teens are powered by praise, the adulation and adoration of a whole crowd of 'subordinates' (with cake) probably wiped out all memory of the fear. By the next day he was probably bragging about how good of a babysitter he was, that the game was his idea, and that he encouraged you all to bite.

I loved the story about wolfy minded girls, but this is what I'm really posting for:

I scoured your blog for real life pictures of your dogs (I will scour more later, I've only known your blog for 2 days). The second strip I ever read of yours was "Dog"... then I read the one about how you took your dogs on a trip to a new house.

Both stories had me absolutely in tears. Not sad tears to sustain your power, but tears of laughter... also to sustain your power. Can you pretty please post a picture of them somewhere easy to find, possibly in the FAQ section.

P.S. I am implementing the retarded-dog test on one of my weenie dogs this weekend.

I can feel his pain - my sister had many a party like this when she was this age. I don't believe I was ever mauled, but I certainly had my fair share of make-overs.

Heh. That was very funny. Though it seems Benny was ... more tolerant and pacifistic than I recall myself at 13. After the first bite, I would have gone from playing "runaway deer" to "Cornered Bear", with probably lots of tears all around.

Your wolves are adorable, and I'm glad that you started putting awesome pictures into your newer works. Because the pictures brought them from somewhere around 100% up to 200% awesome. Because the pictures are 100% awesome and 100 and 100 makes 200.

Also, the wolves in this post are really fucking cute. Sorry I said fuck.

This is why children are terrifying, and why the horror of "character-building" on the schoolyard can't be explained to anyone who hasn't experienced it.

Ms. Asagao said...

This blog made me laugh so much!
It also gave me flashbacks about the one and only fad I created.
It was in the 4th grade.
It was a game called "raptor red" and it was based on a book I was obsessed with about utah-raptor dinosaurs that a paleontologist wrote.
Elements of the game included the chapter of the great flood, in which all of us kids had to compete with each other to climb up the slide to escape rising flood waters and certain doom by blunt force trauma from debris in the water. And the "hunting" of the faster kids in class, like Ben. We would chase him relentlessly as he weaved and dodged us. Whenever we gained on him he had this incredible ability to put on a burst of speed and outrun us all. To this day I am convinced it was a magical ability. No one can up their speed faster than their fastest four times!
Though the game caught on like wild fire- starting with just me and about 3 or 4 friends and gaining about 8 or 9 kids each recess until our whole grade and perhaps a couple kids from one or two other grades had joined- it was quickly banned less than 2 weeks or 10 recess periods after it had begun. I blame Kevin, who took the game too far and bit and kicked someone, thus leading to a visit to the principles office where he claimed he was under the strong influence of the game. A school-wide announcement was made that the game was banned. I still remember sitting in class and being stunned to hear the name of my game being said over the announcements. It was bitter sweet.

Or, perhaps, the sight of 6-year old girls. ;)

My brother Kurt is 8 years older than me. He had a best friend named Ryan when he was a teenager.

Evertime Ryan would come over, my 5-year old ass would pop out from somewhere, run up to him and punch him in the nuts. Every time. My brother must have been an awesome friend for him to put up with that.
I apologized to him years later at my brother's wedding.

I think he would have rather been bitten by a dozen little girls repeatedly than get punched in the nuts once. Because I punched really hard. He has kids now, so I guess I didn't do TOO much damage.

So I read this when it first came out, and it was hilarious, but every time I check for a new blog that first picture of looking down on the little girls just cracks me up.

This absolutely cracked me up - again. Your art style hits me right where it counts.

Poor Benny, not like a 13 year old girl at all. I'd of turned around and bitten them back or kicked because after all deer do kick and kick hard.
Keep writing those funny stories. I love a good laugh and you're a guaranteed chuckle.

My life used to be a raging torrent of my sister's games, but then I discovered the integer and more it's all good.

Mew said...

XD If there's truth to this statement I feel so bad for Benny, and I hope he's gotten over the mental and emotional scars caused by playing wolf pack.

Also, I LOVE the way you draw canines. ^_^

Love it!

Allie, your posts always bring a smile to my face.

Thanks for the laughs!

Dearest Allie,
You single handedly have done the impossible. You have given me a reason to find my way out of my bedsheets every morning, shower, dress and get myself to work. I practically babysit the shop, esspecailly on weekends and I honestly dont know what I did before I got told about you. It was the most special day of my life and I am positive people have purposly not entred my shop due to the convulsive spasums of supressed laughter your blog has inflicted on me. Thank you very very much

BigBirdInaSmallCage said...

You should be glad to know that I have not slept for the better part of two days trying to get through everything you have ever posted after stumbling upon this wonderful blog, hahahaha. Not only am I slightly crazy right now from the lack of sleep, I am also filled with a sense of comfort and wonder that most definitely was not there before. I look forward to your posts in the future.

Oh once again i'm so disappointed there isn't a new post... i do love this one though, it was hilarious :]

SingleUsedLemon said...

One of the most hilarious, yet extremely disturbing, posts yet. Totally worth the wait. Love love love.

Ohoho, I thought this was brilliant, I laughed so hard I thought I would die. Or puke. Or maybe explode ... Anyway, just wanted to tell you that you are incredibly awesome and I love you, in a totally non-lesbian, non-stalker sort-of-way. Okay, maybe kinda like a stalker, but not really. Also, happy Spaghatta Nadle Day! I can happily and proudly announce that I have read every single post on this blog so far. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Because that is what I do. I read blogs ALL DAY LONG, because I have no life... hurhur.

In layman`s terms, you`re awesome and I love you.
Keep on keepin` on!

It was ok, but since its only 1 update per month these days I'm pretty disappointed overall. I was hoping for something awesome.

If only my childhood had included something like this, it would have been even MORE awesome than it already was.
WIN!!

Even as a child, you had the makings of a tiny, adorable serial killer! I love it.

Holy crap, the Wolves story is wet-your-pants funny. My sides hurt from laughing. Totally awesome!

Tigrisa said...

Yaaaaaaay! New post! I finished reading ALL of your blog yesterday. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Words cannot describe. You seem to have the exact same sense of humor as I do, which I LOVE.

Arika said...

Benny is probably still traumatized by six year old girls lol

Kris said...

OMG You are the best! Not only are you totally a creative writer, but you have a fantastic way of drawing innocence laced with creepiness.

Ahh, my perfect dream is to kidnap and keep you as my storyteller for all time. Alas, I will have to settle for my addiction to your blog.

You keep me coming back for more--DAMN YOU! It's all your fault!

Amasing story, if it isn't a book, you shut make it one.

Denise said...

Hey Allie,
I just want to say, as a 13 year old girl, you have my friends and family cracking up everywhere. I've had some funny looks in class sometimes... :D
Is this is a real story, though...?
'Cuz this is terrifying. SO glad my sister is no longer six.

The Silent Creeper said...

Wolves and Deer? forget that why didn't you play Puma a Polar Bear? that is so much more fun.

Mariah said...

Hello! This is me, shamelessly promoting my blog on your blog.
But I'm also here to tell you how amazing your blog is. You inspired me to make a blog of my own. Thank you, awesome-lady. :D

I wish I had this brilliant of a mind in my childhood years. Now I am finding a poor 13 year old boy and sicking a pack of deranged six year olds on him just so I can have my sick enjoyment of seeing this brilliant entry put to life.

Matthew said...

Dear Allie, I have bookmarked tabbed your blogs, I get on everyday excited and expecting to see a new blog, only to be sad and unaware of what is going on and why it is you have disappeared.
I miss you.

Anonymous said...

Back in the day, you used to post a variety of things, sometimes stories with pictures (like this awesome one!) but sometimes just your thoughts about your day, and your life. I love your stories but I miss the regularity of your blog and the shorter, less polished, more personal posts. Maybe we can find a happy medium?

Still love your blog, just missing the 'you' in it.

Unknown said...

in a funny, iteresting way, you are fucked up
all the best Lar

Cosmic Siren said...

I read this post when it first came out, but decided I needed to read it again. Thank you for sharing these stories. As the oldest of five children, I remember my baby sister had this game when she was six called "CHICKEN!" where she would wrap herself around my ankle and gnaw on it, claiming I was a chicken. I think she got it from a Warner Brother's cartoon - the one with the tiny chicken hawk. It didn't hurt, but it made my skin crawl. I would scream and try to shake her off, but she would just hold on tighter. One day, I literally dragged her through the entire house. She didn't let go until I reached our parents' bedroom, because even in her chicken hawk state, she knew if they saw her on my ankle, she couldn't play innocent.

I forget what threat I finally used on her, but even then, she would occasionally hide behind a chair and jump out at me, growling, "CHICKEN!"

That said, my favorite post of yours is the one about your "pet" fish. I can so put myself in your father's shoes.

I followed a link here from another site (nobodyscores.loosenutstudio.com, in case you're wondering - not advertising, just thought you'd like to know that other internet peoples post links to your blog :D) and then spent the next day or so reading all of your posts. Gotta say.

Fucking brilliant :) I haven't laughed this hard at a blog ... quite possibly ever. You've got an amazing knack for words and the pictures are just golden - keep it up, you converted me straight away, and if you ever close down this blog, I WILL CRY.

This was amazing...and yet somehow I think that Benny should have known what he was getting himself into...you were an evil child! (yet this sounds like something I would do...maybe not to such an extreme, but I would have done something similar, nevertheless).

Moose said...

Haha! Evil children. It reminds me of when I was a little girl. Most all of the cousins were girls so God help the unfortunate few boy cousins who had to attend those early family get-togethers. Never underestimate the power of evil little girls in large numbers.

Anonymous said...

I'm pretty new to the blog but I've read most now and must say, even though *many* have before me, it's wonderful!
I have to ask, however, was the story of how Allie met Boyfriend ever posted?

Rafterman said...

Omigod, Allie, this is hysterical! After reading your post about moving with your dogs, I was hooked... I went back and read every single post, and this is one of the best!

Koi said...

Do you still draw using a trackpad? Because those wolves are actually very good!

Anyway, if I was Benny, I wouldn't just sit back and take it anymore. I'd scream my lungs out and make it known very forcefully that they need to stop before I make their mothers cry over what I'd do to them.
I hate children so much. Soooo muuuuch.

...Buuuut I love this blog! :D

Tonina said...

All I could think of while reading this was the Bacchae from Greek mythology. The pack of ravenous and utterly merciless girls, hunting and devouring their prey while grinning the whole time - this post was absolutely priceless and totally scary all at the same time!

Aeolian said...

This is an amazingly twisted combination of hilarious, adorable, and absolutely terrifying.

Super Sad :( said...

I desperately miss your frequent updates. It makes me sad when I go to your page only to find an old update :(

jellokatt said...

wow, now i feel even more justified in my hatred and fear of children. thanks. i'm going to be having nightmares about this for weeks.

What I want to know is how much therapy Benny needed afterwards. Love your blog.
